“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!“

“Great food! Great decor and atmosphere. very clean, service was great. Highly recommend for brunch. I dined at the Hamburg location. Try it you'll like it 🤗“

“I had a great experience at the Richmond Road (Lexington) location on February 20, 2026. A big part of that was thanks to the server, Rachel B. She greeted me with genuine warmth and positive energy that immediately made me feel welcome. Throughout the meal, she was attentive in the best way—checking in thoughtfully, answering questions with patience, and making sure everything was just right. I especially appreciated how valued she made me feel. Great food matters, but service like this is what truly makes a restaurant stand out. Rachel’s professionalism and kindness made the visit memorable. I’ll definitely be back!“

“No wonder this has a perfect 5 star review! Owners working the front line and greeting each and every guest and getting to know them! Burgers are soooo good!“

“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.“

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

“Great service and great good. We had the seared Salmon and I had the Apple Blue Cheese salad with Poppyseed dressing…always delicious 😋“

“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.“

“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. 🤨“

“The perfect dive bar. Friendly staff, good food, good drinks. Great prices too. Would definitely recommend!“

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

“Perfect Vibe for after work relaxation and grab an amazing meal.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I had a wonderful time here at culvers, i was greeted at the door buy a young man named Reese. He took my order and was very patient (this was my second time here) i got my single deluxe while i was grabbing napkins before sitting down, the burger was perfect, the cheese wasn't quite melted but overall this experience was good!“

“I go to Roosters often; I have great times there, from the good food to the great atmosphere. The wooden booths, quirky signs, and numerous TVs make it a great place for people to relax and have a good time. A good way to pass the time while I’m waiting for my food is to watch a football game or play the occasional trivia they have on sometimes. On my last visit, I came with my friend and boyfriend, and we had a great time eating a variety of food and being served by an excellent waiter who was friendly and efficient. When it comes to our food, Roosters never goes wrong with their curly fries and boneless wings. The wings were perfectly crisp, and the hot sauce is always top tier. The atmosphere is what brings it all together, from groups to families and friends to people just sitting at the bar. It is always cheerful and full of life every time I come here. I would say that Roosters delivers a perfect balance of good food and fun, and it's always a pleasure to go, so I plan to keep coming back many times after.“

“They discontinued their soft serve!?
But this location is good, the kid at the window was professional and the food was blazing hot.

Don't bother ordering a small milkshake tho, it's basically a shot glass. Gone are the days of Rally's having the biggest fast food drinks.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“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.“

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

“very professional nice place to eat out“

“We got the breakfast deal of two for $5 and the food was hot. It was ready cuz I had ordered it on my app. I didn't have to wait in a line. The drive-thru staff was super friendly and had a smile on her face which is just what we needed! Coffee was great!“

“We’ve dined at this location several times and the food has always been extremely hot and fresh and the service has always been fantastic. They did a great job with an ice cream cake that I ordered, it was made exactly as I requested.“

“Maria and her crew whose names I do not know cuz this is the first time I've been there in a long time but they were all very nice food was very good atmosphere was great don't think I waited 2 minutes for my food and there was somebody in front of me I had a mobile order“

“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!!“

“Great drinks and a rotating restaurant. Staff is super cool, drinks are fast, affordable, and TASTY!
It's a gorgeous place to get a quiet drink sometimes, but there's always something going on, a perfect neighborhood experience.
What's not to love?“

“TYLER!!!! When I say this man was the highlight of my hard day with my kiddo, I’m SERIOUS. He took my order and realized it was taking awhile. So he came over and brought cookies and all!! PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE THIS!!!!! Fast food doesn’t have enough workers like this. Thank you, Tyler. I hope they let you know they absolutely need to keep you around. Outstanding customer service!!!!“

“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!!!!!!“

“can't wait to get one closer“

“Since every penny counts right now, I treated myself to breakfast with a coupon 2 egg cheese bacon biscuit sandwiches for $3.99. 1 for now and 1 for later. When I pulled up I was greeted with "What would you like to order?" irritated tone. Thinking this woman is having a bad day I ordered and pulled up to the window with a smile. She states my total and I say Hello and hand her my coupon with my card. I saw that she read it and put it in her cash register. I get my drink and food, my card and "Here have a nice day" in a monotone voice. I said "Thank you have a great day." again with a smile. When I got to park to sit and eat, I noticed my receipt said the full price of my items, no coupon discount. My first reaction was "Well she was kinda rude AND didn't take my coupon I'll never go there again." I had to go to work so I was about to think about it. After work I went down to see if I could speak with a manager and just let them know what happened. I spoke to Dallas, the night manager on duty. I told him of the situation and we agreed that he would just refund me the discount amount. Which I was fine with, however he came back with the full amount. "I was just thinking about your first experience with us and I hate that this was it so I'm refunding the whole amount in hopes you come back coupon or not." I was a little shocked 😲 but thankful that people still know how to customer service. So thank you to Dallas for changing my mind & turning around my experience. I'll see ya next time!“

“Ive been having a bad two days. I dont eat at burger king often because other locations always get my order wrong for some reason, but I never had an issue with this one, ever. Just went to get a burger and that burger is sooooo good. Shoutout to the super nice employee that took my order and brought it out to me, even though it was a burger at 8 in the morning. My day is eversoslightly better now :)“

“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.“

“I hope this is the correct McDonalds where Ebony works. She greeted us as we entered.
She was so nice and had a sweet disposition. I couldn't get over how kind she was and truly loves her job. I informed the manager on duty that Ebony was the greatest and should get a raise.“

“We always feel welcome at this Applebee's, regardless of what time we show up, how many of us, or how we are dressed ;). The lunch deals are amazing. I get to choose two things I like for $6.00 - chicken tortilla soup and the chicken wrap - yum. but they have so many choices that are good and good deals, especially at lunch. We have a great experience from the hostess greeting through our server and it keeps us coming back. Doreen W is one of our faves, but they all treat us very well.“
