Did the mushroom and Swiss with waygu! Ordered it rare which it was not but it was still super juicy so I was ok with it! The sweet potato wedges were super good too! Wasn't a fan of the cheese just sitting on it not melted so I removed that and asked for the mayo on the side which I got and got it on my burger so it was def way too much but I guess that's what napkins are for.

We were excited to try a place in this part of town and were able to get a table without a wait. Our server was friendly but not overly attentive and the service felt slow. My son and husband each tried different burgers and they were pretty good. I tried the fish and chips it was horribly overcooked and disappointing. We wouldn't return.

Friendly and accommodating servers. Burgers were great, with a great selection. Lots of good craft beer and cocktails

Delicious burger isn't a gut buster, but it was just right for me. Great crispy fries with good seasoning. .

I was kind of in a bad mood when I got to this place but the friendly service quickly brightened my day. The burger was great. The onion rings were phenomenal. They also had some pappy to pour which wasn't too pricey ... for pappy. Whole experience was an A+. Bartender was great as was manager. Would definitely go back next time I'm in Lexington.

I went to Oscar Diggs for the first time and had a great experience. When arriving to the restaurant, we sat ourselves and then went up to the front to place our orders. The atmosphere is very cozy with A nice couch and fire in the corner and our orders did not take long to come. I got the American burger with tater tots, and my boyfriend got the KY burger with fries. The burgers were juicy and delicious, the tater tots were super crunchy and salty, and the fries were well seasoned. We'd love to come back and try their brunch!

I worked across the street from Oscar Giggs since they opened. For whatever reason I had never made it over for lunch, but thanks to rainy afternoon I decided to give them a try. Sadly, I was very underwhelmed. I ordered the Fish and Chips which the menu stated was three pieces of fish and house made fries. What I received was 3 small fish strips and container full of french fries. The fries were definately the highlight, well seasoned and hand cut skin on the way I like. The fish however was very greasy and bland. The side of "Bourbon Coleslaw" was extremely bland and flavorless. I did enjoy the house made tartar sauce, which seemed to be the only thing other than the fries that was at all seasoned. I know this sounds like a harsh review, but keep in mind this was a fish and chips lunch order that came in at $20! At that price point the portion and quality should be better. I waited several years to try Oscar Diggs... I doubt I will again.

Great burger. Good vibe in the joint. Bartender/server was quick quick quick. Sweet potatoe wedges which I really appreciate as someone who doesn't eat regular potatoes. A great experience. If I lived in Lex I'd be a regular.
Great burgers! Had an All American burger and the burger was actually seasoned and had taste! You MUST try this place!

The house burger and the veggie burger were very good! The fries were even better if you like ones with high potato content. The pimento cheese appetizer was huge! The root vegetables salad was pretty good but the veggies were chopped so small it was hard to know what they were. The staff were super friendly! We would go back.

I tried this place for the first time today because my friend said that they had better burgers than Bru's. So though I went to eat a burger, just the mere picture of their tomato soup and grilled cheese made me change my mind! Food: - American burger (with egg): 5/5 - Grilled cheese: 5/5 - Tomato soup: 4/5 - Tater tots: 5/5 * we tried 2 dippings with the tots. Sweet Thai Chili was 5/5... Garlic cream was a little lacking so 3/5 Service: Amazing! We were asked if we wanted the tater tots before our main order and on saying yes, we were served in under 5 minutes! The main order came out hot and quick as well. So why 4 stars? Well because of the cleanliness. Our table was sticky on my side. And overall, you could see dust on the furniture .. the worst was the floor though... needed a good brooming n mop!

Well first off the girl at the front wasn’t familiar with the menu. And I paid over $40 for two burgers and they were about the size of a cheese burger from McDonald’s more bread then anything. This place is way overpriced and not good. I wish I would have went to McDonald’s. Enjoy my money bc I won’t be back!

The gentleman working front of house tonight was very overwhelmed - you could hear it in his voice- but he was doing a great job. With a Kentucky game downtown at 9pm, you would have thought he wouldn’t have been alone at 7pm, but I understand the employment situation most places are struggling with these days. He kept drinks flowing, food coming out of the kitchen, and tables bussed all by himself. Not sure of his name, but Kudos to him. Please pass on the accolades to him.
