We sat at the bar, but no bartender at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. After 15 minutes of no service we ordered food to go from the carryout window. We went next door and had a cocktail while our food was cooking. Then when we got home they gave us cheese sticks instead of cheesy breadsticks. The pizza was very good but the cheese sticks were average at best.

Gone there pretty much since it opened in 1973. Best bread sticks and different style of pizza. Hope it can stay open and wish Joe a great retirement. He deserves it.
Might close this summer ... Last chances to go there and enjoy the unique pizzas. Parking was a bit difficult, we paid for a spot in the street.

Expect a bit of a wait, even on a weekday.The inside is absolutely gorgeous. Obviously, we HAD to order the breadstick, right? Whatever you imagine it to be... it's even more delicious. The bread is even softer and more warm, the butter is perfection, and when you drop a little of the parm in there? Amazing.We did get a pizza and a pasta, but I indulged so hard in the bread that I didn't even eat the pasta until we got home.The side salad was yummy, and the ranch dressing was all the good parts of a house ranch. The pasta traveled well. So well, we were able to put it in a lunchbox with ice and take it home to California with us.The staff were all so polite and apologetic for the wait. Other staff stopped by our table and conversed with us (we were close to the beverage refill area) and were super kind.We will definitely be returning on our next trip.

Joe Bologna's is a Lexington staple. If you are in the area you must stop in and get a bread stick. The food and service is always top notch.

I've been going to Joe B.'s since the 70s. The breadsticks are awesome!

Interesting mix of experiences here. Food was great. Staff were personable, friendly, attentive, and VERY busy. Unfortunately, our salads were never brought out and neither were breadsticks for some in our party. Would try again if they’re still open the next time we’re in town.
When did this place because a friend referred me to it before he closed down after 50 years. So sorry I didn't find it sooner but will definitely go back before August when he shuts down permanently

Let me just start by saying the hostess was rude and bossy and just plan nasty!! If that's what you want for your first impression....not good! And just when we thought we didn't have to deal with her again, as we were leaving, she came marching around the corner and I stop to let her go by and she yells at me and shacks her hand at me to move to the other side. "I'm walking there ?!" (her words, not mine) She's out of the way nasty! On the good side, the food was good, the server was nice and the place was very enjoyable & pretty.
