A Lexington institution with a well established and deserving reputation for excellent service and delicious helpings in a family friendly atmosphere.
Has great breakfasts as well as awesome lunches and dinners. Great omelets as well as unique sides- try the Jalapeno Grits!
Extended hours from 8 am till 10 at night.
Well worth a drive.

First time dining at Winchell's. Let me say this, I will be back. The food was fresh and flavorful. I had the Gourmet chopped burger and it was seasoned so well. We will definitely be back to try more menu items.

Enjoyed our lunch at Winchell's. I had the reuban sandwich with a side of soup. My partner has the fried chicken dinner. Both were very good. Fried chicken was very flavourful and crispy. They also made a bloody Mary with bourbon that was absolutely delicious. Would come here again!
