Food was good, carrot cake was special. The staff was welcoming and service was fast.

Visiting the area from Austin, Texas and was lucky enough to stumble across this place by pure chance. Walking in the joint, I knew I was in for something special. Old school hospitality paired with amazing food had me contemplating moving. The meatloaf with green beans, potatoes and cornbread was delicious, and the burgers were tasty. Unfortunately I didn't leave room for dessert, but they looked really good. Thank to the kitchen staff for making such delicious food - you can taste the talent and experience of the crew. Thank you a great lunch in Lexington.

The food in this vintage horse racing dive is much better than you'd imagine, but only because you don't know horse people. Ha! I've never had bad food among racing peeps. The entree menu changes daily so get there at 5p to see what they post. Staff is friendly and the dessert is fresh.

Small place. Found upon returning from a flight into Lexington. Old school feel. Very friendly with really good food!

Might be the best restaurant in Lexington. Cornbread fit for a king.

What a hidden gem, this place is amazing. With a menu that makes you feel like home and the flavors taste of the way granny would add that extra bit of love to top it off with.would highly recommend.

The burgers were delicious, thick and juicy. The service was amazing. The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was cozy and definitely a dive bar experience.

Good food for a great price. Service was fast and helpful. Even had a slice of pie after dinner and it was good too. definitely hole in the wall vibes but a family can eat for $50.

Local, neighborhood dive bar / restaurant with a rotating chalkboard menu. Meat and three style but some nights they really light things up with their steaks, salmon with bourbon sauce glaze, fish in crack sauce and other specials. Come early as seating is tight and the place gets busy. You won't find a better or stronger cocktail in town!

This place is really expensive for the food received. The liquid that they call BBQ sauce is terrible also.
