Pancakes are awesome, classic deli vibes in a really cozy environment. I love the colors. Staff is super friendly too. Definition of easy Sunday morning.
Charming, kind and southern. So glad I stopped here for lunch. I had the Classic Kentucky Burgoo, (which I had never heard of before) it sooooo delicious and memorable. Great friendly service too.
My mother and I shared the Mushroom
Ruben (add Swiss) and a slice of their Kentucky Pie… delicious! The sandwich was the best vegetarian Ruben I’ve ever had.
Friendly staff! Quality, delicious food! A range of dietary options.
Average food. I had the hot brown. It was alright ...... It wasn't bad but I can't say it was memorable. What I was surprised by however was the 20% service charge they added to my bill without mentioning it ahead of time. I won't go back just because of that. I would suggest adjust the cost of your food. Don't hide a surcharge that you throw on after the fact and don't have enough integrity to mention ahead of time so people can make an informed decision whether they want to eat there or not. It felt slimy to me. Don't waste your time going there. There are a lot of places in Lexington that serve a better meal and are up front about what they sell their food for.
Went in for breakfast to a busy (but not packed) indoor seating. Waited for 5+ minutes before any server stopped by for our order. 30 minutes pass and still no sign of a server or our food (the ticket was lost). Only saw our server twice, once to take our order and once when the food came out. Had to go to the bar to get refills on our drinks, to get order updates, and to get our check/pay. After all of this, still had to pay the 20% automatic gratuity (to whom it goes to I do not know)… I guess there’s no reason to provide service when you get a 20% tip either way.

Good breakfast here. No frills but a good soild breakfast with good service. Lil side note - 20% automatically added to all prices. This service fee ensures staff is paid at least 15 dollars an hour.

Great vegan options. One of the few places around campuses that actually have anything decent- at least that’s what google says when you do a search for vegan restaurants near me. Cool atmosphere too.
