50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Lexington

“An absolutely amazing restaurant, hands down! The food is incredible, the staff is very helpful & friendly, the atmosphere itself gives you that New Orleans feel. I’ve been visiting this restaurant with my dad for several years now. Bourbon n’ Toulouse is without a doubt one of our all time favorites.“

“Such great food, friendly staff and we will be back.“

“The folks working at Agave and Rye are super friendly and very helpful. The food was fantastic.“

“Literally the best place in Lex!!! Food is amazing, staff is friendly!“

“First time trying Agave & Rye...wow! Everything we tried was fresh & exploding with flavor! So delicious! Cannot wait to go again!“

“Both service and food were outstanding! Our server, Samantha, was super nice and took great care of us. This place not only has authentic cuisine but it's relaxed fine dining and not pretentious. Thanks again!“

“Going to this place makes my day so much better the food and atmosphere is always amazing. 💚“

“We had a reservation, which was confirmed via email. When we arrived, not able was available. We got seated and our waitress just didn't show up. I drank my Heineken, waited and waited some more for about 20 minutes. I finally flagged down a person who kindly offered to get our waitress for us. No complaints with service after that. The food was good. However, do not order tuna tartare. I don't know what minced meat it was made from but it was not ahi tuna. It was a mixture of red spicy something, cut with crispy rice. No scallions. I even thought it was salmon at first? The waitress asked the chef and came back with assurances that it was not salmon. I don't know what it was but don't order it. I also had a few pieces of sashimi. White tuna was amazing (you get 3 pieces per order), but smoked salmon came in a weird portion. It was string cut into 6 strings. And when I say strings, I mean imagine a box of matches, cut lengthwise. I had 6 pieces of that. It tasted good, I just didn't know what happened to the rest of it. Everything else was fine. Maybe I just hit on the wrong items that night? I'm not sure. But I will probably not go back.“

“Great pizza, amazing small business owner highly recommend, best wings in town“

“I love to try local and this one didn’t disappoint. Lots of selections and an amazing crew with great recommendations.“

“Old School Coffee is a must-visit spot in Lex! The baristas are so fun and love to chat whenever you visit. This coffee shop is in a beautiful "old school" building that is fun to explore. All of their drinks are school-themed, and they always have a drink of the week that is a must-try! Definitely give this place a try!“

“All I can say is that I was blown away. We are staying in an airbnb basically next door and did not realize that this was the brewery that makes Kentucky bourbon barrel ale.

We were served by a few folks, but primarily their visitor center manager Ben, and had an AMAZING experience. This is a 10/10 worth while visit.“

“Very good! Food and staff were wonderful. Try the croquettes!“

“Cool little spot down on Lane Allen close to Harrodsburg Road, they got hot food, cold drinks, and live music ..And yes, they’re open.“

“What a great treat! The host greeted us with the most genuinely enthusiastic hello and introduced all the front of house staff by name, made recommendations and directed us to the cashier. Speaking of, she was equally delightful and helpful. Now, let’s talk about the real stuff…. The food… OMG!! Tso’s tacos, biscuits, coffee, honey butter, and… and… and… THE GRAVY! We will be back!“

“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.“

“Cozy setting, wonderfully helpful staff, and the food is glorious! French toast, the fish sandwich, and the brisket sausage are must tries on your first visit!“

“I had an absolutely amazing time this evening! The atmosphere was the perfect blend of industrial and casual, creating such a cool and inviting vibe. The food was incredible—I had the pizza, which was delicious, and paired it with a #23 strawberry hard cider that was just perfect. Fred, the bartender, was fantastic—so personable and helpful in guiding my selections. His recommendations made the experience even better. I truly had such an enjoyable evening and can’t wait to come back!“

“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.“

“So i ordered curbside today, before I pulled off, I realized my order was not correct..I went inside spoke with the manager Kylie, and my order was fixed, not only did she recook my order,but she made sure I had fresh bread as well. such a warm person, she went above and beyond to correct the mistake! I just want to say, I see you kylie,your doing great things, may god continue to bless you. thank you again! Narissa“

“One team member said: "Winchell's Restaurant and Bar is a Lexington classic sports bar with people-pleasing food for the entire crew. Whether it's game day snacks and drinks or a big family breakfast, this busy restaurant offers big portions, great service, and is a Lexington staple for a reason. "“

“Stopped in West Sixth Brewing on our way to KC for a World Cup match. What a great find!! The bartender (Meghan I think) was super friendly and made some great beer recommendations. Great soccer convo, too! They also immediately asked my 7 year old if she wanted a coloring sheet and crayons — always a bonus! The beer was terrific, very cool space, great vibe, they had a ton of great swag, and lunch from Smithtown Seafood next door was fantastic.“

“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.“

“Great staff, great atmosphere. The Loco Hash is fantastic!“

“This was our first time trying Parlour. Our son picked it as a place to celebrate his birthday. It was a Sunday afternoon and it went very busy at all. Olivia was our server and she was fantastic! We downloaded the app to get free breadsticks and we enjoyed them so much that we ordered a second order of them. The garlic butter was a nice addition! My husband and I had the bacon chicken ranch pizza and we both agreed it was among the best we’ve ever tried. The boys (3 of them from tween to 18) all loved their cheese pizza. It’s so nice when the whole family enjoys their meal! We will definitely be going back! 🧡“

“The staff here goes above and beyond making excellent recommendations. The food we ordered was fresh and delicious. Had so many choices for our drinks-amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Great restaurant and servers with excellent food. Tried the Ford’s Pickles, which were deep fried spears breaded in panko, and a special dipping sauce. To me the sauce has a horseradish style taste, but was really good.
We also got the Fords Signature burger, medium well. It was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of BBQ sauce, the meat done right, crispy bacon, freshly toasted bun. Our server suggested the sweet potato tots with caramel sauce for our side. Was hesitant to try, but absolutely glad we did! Crispy tots with sweet, warm caramel. Dessert in itself!
First time here and will definitely be back!“

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

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

“Great atmosphere, the staff is spot on. Mother fries are the bomb! Oysters and shrimp cocktail was very good! My wife and I both had the “ prime rib” recently. I’m not a butcher but what we had was not “prime rib”. It was I believe a $28 “chuck roast”.“

“We were in Lexington on vacation and love family owned business. We ordered one of everything. (we just couldn't decide) .Our food truly was heavens. Loved it all. Sure wish we lived closer. Well, maybe its a good thing we don't. 😆 Thank you for all your family's hard work.“

“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!!"“

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

“and great service. Also offers reward program“

“Couldn't be happier stopping in to get some doughnuts today. The staff behind the counter were super nice. When I proclaimed I had never been here before they had recommendations ready for me to try. I bought both of them, and they were both great! Would recommend anyone to check this place out.“

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

“A wonderful coffee shop!! Great atmosphere and a delicious cappuccino!!“

“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!!“

“Biscuit Belly is a great spot for brunch! The service is always fantastic and their biscuits are DELICIOUS! Great coffee and cocktails too!“

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

A must stop for everyone on the bourbon trail!“
