50 Best Burger Restaurants in Lexington

“Everything on the menu is awesome, the prices are great, and the portions are huge!“

“What can I say? Quick friendly service. Affordable food. Smoking hot burgers and fries. Absolutely delicious. The fried Oreos are insane. We came for a quick lunch and had Aaron as our server. He made our experience amazing. Will definitely be back.“

“We ate for the first time at the Andover location and had the best meal we’ve had in a long time. Service was excellent. We both had the chopped wedge salad, wagyu burger, broccoli topped with smoked Gouda sauce, macaroni with smoked Gouda, and shared a slice of peanut butter pie. Every bit of our meal was amazing! We can’t wait to go back and try something else on the menu.“

“Creative menu, delicious, FRESH food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. It’s a favorite stop of mine when I’m visiting Lexington from California.“

“Great Food and Friendly Service“

“This was my first time going. You get so much food for such a good price! Very tasteful vey full of flavor and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! Go give it a try you won’t regret it!!!“

“best double cheeseburger ever. the fries are the best. and free refills for dine-in just don't get any better. 50-year customer!!!!!“

“Worth the 35-minute drive to come there. The atmosphere was fun, but not too loud or rowdy (I went in the early afternoon). There were plenty of games on - American football, Premier League. The restaurant and restrooms were cleaned, and the stalls even have full-length doors (which we should have everywhere in this country). The service was conscientious, helpful and friendly, without feeling overbearing or feeling like I was being begged for tips. Decent selection of beer. The food was fine, if bland. In all, a positive experience.“

“It was a great atmosphere. We really enjoyed the food!“

“Had an absolutely delightful brunch at Bella Cafe today. Our server was fantastic and the European Bar is so delicious. If this isn’t on your list of best brunch spots in Lexington, it should be💜.“

“I will be the first to admit, I am super picky with my food and I normally have special requests. I made an order at the drive thru today, asking for some modifications. I got to the window expecting someone to be annoyed with me, but no, they were super nice! And guess what? They got my order 100% correct and delicious! Way to go Freddy’s staff, I appreciate y’all!“

“I’m not usually a complainer, but it’s been a while since I’ve been here, did I miss where they were cutting the size of their patty’s in half?!? Usually a little burger(one patty) is plenty, but today it wasn’t any bigger than a McD’s patty. Definitely not worth the price, today. Hope this was a fluke. 🤨“

“Harry’s Twin Filets (+ side) is hard to beat for the price ($27.99). Somehow the food seems to get better with each visit. Had the pleasure of being served by Caleb tonight, awesome UK student working his second straight year for BHG. Also worth noting: you can order from both the Harry’s & Malone’s menus while dining at Harry’s!“

“Burgers and fries were great. We’re going back for a shake.“

“Had a very pleasant lunch. Chicken Wings were well cooked and had just the right amount of spicy Sriracha. Served with celery and ranch dressing (my choice). Lots of napkins. 🤣. The bowl of chili was also delicious. Atmosphere was not too loud, doors were open to a beautiful summer day, fans running, good background music. Nice staff, quick an unobtrusive. Kept drinks filled. Check out was easy. Overall, our best experience at Drake's yet.“

“At the Nicholasville Rd location- Ms. Ashley took care of us and went above and beyond. She was so friendly, so good to my son, helped him get ketchup, wouldn't let me get up because I'm almost due to have my baby, and even paid for our dessert- which was wonderful. My son said it was the best day ever because of her.“

“The owners real down to earth people!“

“Very clean and the lady in charge was well organized and a good manager. She welcomed us at the door and explained how to order etc. we were impressed!“

“We were in Lexington for a concert and searched restaurants near our hotel. Nic & Norman's menu looked good, and we appreciated the photos of each menu item. We made a reservation and had the best dinner from the food to the service. Everyone we enteracted with was so genuinely kind. I had the meatloaf and my husband had the BBQ pork burger. The meatloaf was amazing and completely made in house. The atmosphere is cozy industrial with exposed brick. If you are in doubt, this is your place for dinner.“

“the best. Best service. tasty dishes. friendly staff.“

“Went here for the first time on June 13th the service was great, the atmosphere was great, and the food was tasty and very well priced. Definitely recommend going here if you are in the area“

“Great start with our waitress Kimberly. Kimberlee. She was absolutely the best. This was my first steak at Ted's. I would rate it as the best steak I have had in a longtime. Forget get the high priced steak houses in Lexington as this was far and away the most perfectly cook steak ever. Adding to the perfect meal were wonderful onion rings. They were as close to perfection as you can get. My compliments to the chef. we were too full to try the deserts but I am sure they would have been great. We will make Ted's a regular stop for a great meal.“

“Came here after the neighboring restaurant, Ramsey’s, refused to seat us — 1 hour before closing. I have to say that Five Guys stepped up, the staff was extra friendly, the food was bussin, & it was an excellent experience. I HIGHLY recommend this place! Great food. Great people. Great service.“

“Everything was great and my family enjoyed our meal. Staff was friendly and the dining room was clean. My only issue was the gluten free bun. It wasn't the greatest but I know its not really their fault, most gluten free breads aren't that good. I still ate the burger though.“

“Stopped in over the weekend, the burger was one of the best I have had in a long time. Highly recommend!“

“You know a restaurant is good when you crave it the next day“

“Absolutely! The food is fantastic #1, and the staff is even better!! There’s a girl there named Anna that always goes above and beyond! BEST customer service skills ever!“

“Usually pretty good, one time we got hair in our food but the fixed it and gave us a bunch of coupons. Food is reasonably priced and as a vegetarian I am always excited when a place offers cauliflower wings, fried pickles are good too. My partner enjoys the chicken wrap and the loaded fries, they have pretty good Margs“

“BOMB MILKSHAKES, burgers and quesadillas. Fast and friendly service every time“

“its a laid back place with people you enjoy being around and the celeoateis remarkable i love going to oneils you never know whats going to come up thank you all“

“My son and I had an impromptu late lunch today 7/7/2022. It’s been a long time since we’ve experienced service like this that was topped off with awesome food! The medium cooked burger with extra bacon was incredible, cooked to perfection, it was huge! The pulled pork sandwich topped with small onion rings was an unexpected tasty surprise. The French Fry’s were seasoned, served HOT and crisp just like the sandwich’s, I mean, where in Lexington do you get that?! The staff was exceptionally cordial and our food was presented before we had filled our fountain drinks. Out the door just stuffed full for $30, that’s value! My son and I had a quick debate on the way home, monthly or weekly stop 😂 Weekly for the win! Can’t wait to try breakfast!!“

“My order was messed up, there was a large fry that I had been charged for that I had not ordered. They fixes my order and gave me back the full price of my order. The food was very good and fresh! Wish I could give them 10 stars!! Thank you for the amazing service!“

“My experience with this one is always great,the customer service meaning order taker is phenomenal! So lively..not like a robot. Keeps an positive attitude even when it looks very frustrating of business and the staff keeps their cool. I love it. Keep up the good work Debbie! 🥰“

“I understand that Burger King is going through some stuff but the food is good and has always been good

Kid-friendliness: This is definitely a kid friendly restaurant

Wheelchair accessibility: It also have wheelchair accessory“

“very professional nice place to eat out“

“Loved this place. Staff were polite and quick in delivering the order.Cashier was knowledgeable about the menu and offered helpful suggestions when we asked their seasonal Blizzard flavors. Everything tasted fresh, and the ice cream texture was just right.“

“Decided to put off doing my college finals and went to Hardee’s instead and man did it slap, food was so good the stress left my body immediately. They aren’t ever super busy so although when you order it’ll take a little longer than any other fast food joint, it’ll be freshly made and hot. While waiting to get my food I could overhear some homeless dude yelling so extra points for the free entertainment.“

“I ordered in the app and waited a little for them to complete my order. I had a place to sit so it was a comfortable wait. Chicken nuggets are awesome here compared to the competition.

Parking: Plenty of parking spots. Wheelchair ramp right up front.

Wheelchair accessibility: Up front ramp I ride my scooter right up.“

“can't wait to get one closer“

“A comfortable, clean, friendly bar with a kitchen open on the weekends plus Monday nights, when the Old Time Jam people descend on the bar and fill it with Appalachian Music. A great way to spend a casual Monday evening! Other musical events through the week (Chris Sullivan's open mic on Tuesdays, check the calendar). Wes and Grace and Layne make sure everyone is catered to. Four stars on the food just because the kitchen isn't open every night, but it does have vegetarian options. Local beer taps from around the Bluegrass.“

“Beautiful flowers abound & on every table! Restaurant was extremely clean & so were the restrooms! I most certainly order & eat from Wendy’s location with no worries! Kudos to the management!!!!!!“

“This review is for a Door Dash I had delivered from Applebee’s on February 7, 2025. Our neighborhood Applebee’s don’t always get a fair shake but it was a Friday night and kind of late. We were hungry but waited too late to go out. We decided to give Applebee’s a try and we were going to do it with Door Dash. I ordered a burger and onion rings and my wife ordered a salad. When I pressed the payment button it said our food would be delivered within 40 minutes. I thought “no way”. Even though it’s only a few miles from our house. Well they actually beat the estimated time and delivered within 27 minutes. My burger was fixed to perfection and the onion rings were a ten. The salad was also good. Great choice for a late Friday night.“

“I went to the McPlay place but the other children, unfortunately, were being real mean to me. Everything smelled like poop and the ball pit smelled like cleaning solution. Hey you can't just take a dump in the ball pit then dump sanitizer all over it. Poor me.

Still better than staying at the Microtel by Wyndham. But that's setting the bar low (no monkey bars at the Microtel)

Kid-friendliness: They help you build character so you're properly equipped for your Microtel stay. If you press 'I' it will open your inventory you can snag one of the balls of each individual color“

“fresh hot fries and chicken tenders and courteous service!“

“It was very good and the employees were very nice and polite. Fast and hot fresh food and handled with care. Thank you for a terrific service at your establishment.

Parking: Georgetown Road @ Newtown Pike

Wheelchair accessibility: They have wheelchair accessibility for ordering and dining outside.“

“IDK why they aren't all the same-I mean, isn't that supposed to be the original fast food gimmick? But, they aren't. This is the best Wendy's in town. Door Dash agrees.

Dietary restrictions: They don't have a dedicated fryer-so, celiac patients and those severely intolerant of gluten: stay away.

Frostys are gluten free, in case you were unsure.“

“I just want to thank your establishment for serving me as a walk thru.... I know it's not what you do and not normal. We needed to eat and been on the road but with no restaurants open to sit and eat (covid19) you served us anyway so a big thank you. My belly is full and on our way back home to Canada! Thank you ladies!!! Food was fresh and hot.“
