“We had one of the best, most flavorful, delicious meals of our lives. The katsu pork sandwich is incredible. The mahi plate was the best fish I’ve ever had . Holy guacamole so good. The Hawaiian fries were the best things we’ve ever had. The chicken teriyaki was so delicious our two year old ate almost all of it, and he isn’t a big eater. It was so good he started to sing. Genuinely one of the best dining experiences. So delicious. Just really, really, REALLY GREAT FOOD“

“A team member said: "Healthy Vibes is the best. From walking in and being greeted with a warm smile, to having a genuine conversation, to their amazing teas, shakes and acai bowls. You cannot go wrong with anything on their menu. Highly recommend!!"“

“Absolutely stunning location. Incredible, natural food; phenomenal environment. Hosts a multitude of really cool looking events for artistic community engagement. VISIT THIS ESTABLISHMENT.“

“First time to eat here. Simply put, the food was delicious! Loved the wings, pizza, Greek salad, and the Brussels & Taters. I highly recommend PieTana.“

“I really love this spot. I love their flights and trying their wide variety of beers. I really like their sour, IPAs, and their Amber. I’m not a huge stout-lover, but I really liked what I tried. They even cycle in seasonal drinks too! I really liked the apple cider bourbon slushy they had, too, which was a pleasant surprise that I didn’t see coming!!

They have a lot of different areas to sit so it’s not super crowded with tons of people standing and blocking walkways, which was also nice! I had a delicious burger from the restaurant next door (they bring food over to the brewery) and it had great beer cheese!

They also had LOTS of power outlets, so I was able to get work done on my laptop! The employees were also fun to talk to and very kind. All around, it was a nice place to visit!“

“My husband and I having family night with our sons at Blue Sushi Sake Grilled“

“I brought my kiddos here with me as a Valentine's treat today, and the staff made them feel right at home. Nothing but props and kindness when my 9-year-old son confidently ordered hot chocolate with marshmallows, straight espresso, and bought a 95% dark chocolate bar. One of the employees even overheard my daughter ask to go grab a water from the counter and brought it to her before she had the chance to ask. It can be nerve wracking to take your children out. Not here. They already want to go back. 😄 Oh, and the taste? My daughter called it, and I quote, "The BEST hot chocolate I've ever had." My son says he wants to make this our official coffee spot. Good people and yummy drinks. ✨“

“Hunter our waitress was awesome. Food was delicious.“

“and great service. Also offers reward program“

“Top favorite restaurant in Lexington. I have eaten dozens of time, everything is always fresh, delicious and beautiful. very reasonable prices as well. love ❤️ 😍“

“The food and staff are amazing!! The food is fresh and well worth the price. Highly recommended!“

“Chelsea our server was great and she made great recommendations. We tried the pretzel sticks with beer cheese, these are the best ever. Boone fries, the pimento cheese dog and the spicy chicken sandwich. The blackberry jalapeño sauce is soooo good!! Would definitely eat there again. Everything we had was really good. I don’t think their pricing is higher than anywhere else. Eating out in general is not cheap!!“

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

“I first tasted Wise Bird Cider at the GOSHEN TAPROOM, right on the edge of Metro Louisville. It’s on tap and in cans! The Pomme Pomme Cider is SO DELICIOUS! The others are great too, but the PP is my favorite. If you can’t make it to Lexington (an amazing place to visit), make the shorter trip to Goshen.“

“Just got done eating there. Spicy Chicken and Waffles were great. Chicken had a very crispy breading and juicy meat…perfection. Waffle had a nice mild flavor and the addition of hot honey made it fantastic!“

“This place is amazing. I loved everything I’ve had over the past two days and will definitely keep coming back to try more of the menu.
The service was outstanding. Colin was super funny, welcoming, and gave great recommendations. I came here one day, loved it so much, and had to come back the next day.
On my first visit, I had the pasta alla vodka and the meatballs, and both were excellent. I highly recommend the meatballs. My girlfriend ordered the Manzo Parmesan Pasta, it was so creamy. On my second visit, I got the chicken parm and my girlfriend ordered the spaghetti. The chicken parm was fantastic, it had perfect adhesion, was so crispy, and so good.
We also tried the pepperoni pups, which were amazing, crunchy, cheesy, and served with an incredible marinara sauce.
For dessert, the limoncello cake was very lemony with the perfect texture. I also tried the bread pudding and tiramisu, and both were really good.
My favorite items were the meatballs, Manzo Parmesan Pasta, and the limoncello dessert. Sorry for rambling, I just had a really amazing experience.“

“Historic and low key local bar that has lasted 90 years in Lexington making it the oldest bar in town.“

“Great spot to meet for a quick chat, or to come hang out for longer work sessions. The baristas are kind, and the pastries from DV8 kitchen are awesome!“

“Best burgers, drinks and atmosphere in Lexington!!“

“Favorite coffee in Lex…. And honestly anywhere else! Been going for years it’s become a part of our weekend routine!“

“The best selection of bourbon in the country right in downtown Lexington.

This iconic bar is where you need to be if your want to try some of the rarest bourbons around.

The sky's the limit here.

The bar tenders are so knowledgeable and are absolute experts so make sure you come ready to learn.

A must stop for everyone on the bourbon trail!“

“Great salad and shrimp flatbread was yummy. Prices are great. I felt comfortable and safe dining alone (traveling through).“

“The fried green tomato BLT is wonderful! Quaint atmosphere, great service, and terrific food.“

“My wife and I were in town for a few days for her birthday, and the cafe here was our first stop every morning. Staff was very friendly and highly knowledgeable, decor and atmosphere is great, and the products they put out were outstanding. Very well crafted coffee drinks, and the breakfast sandwiches we got on our last day will be haunting our dreams until we are able to get back, which we most certainly will! Overall EXCELLENT experience and we would both highly recommend stopping if you’re in the area!“

“First timing trying this place. Fill place, feels like a neighborhood spoke with some unique dishes on the menu.

I got the Lumberjack burger. It came out raw, ordered it medium. They took it back I expected a new burger, the simply further cooked the burger. This time it was well done. Not a big deal flavor was still there, juicy and well seasoned. However, I think much of the Beer cheese had cooked off.

We got the salad with orange vinaigrette and it was very good. The squash soup was also nice on a snowy day.

Service was excellent and enjoyed the experience. The only negative was the burger cook and the not getting a new burger. Just kind of pointless to ask for how I’d like it cooked.

Would eat here again though“

“Usually i absolutely love it here. But its been actually making me so mad that I CAN NOT drink a full drink so i always order a small. Yet this one girl always takes my order and puts it as a medium anyway... like girl ur making me pay for a medium and i ASKED clear as day for a small. So im wasting yalls product too lol“
