“During our visit to Kentucky’s Bourbon Country, we had the distinct pleasure of dining at what has quickly become our favorite restaurant in the area. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was nothing short of outstanding—flavorful, expertly prepared, and perfectly paired with a diverse and impressive collection of bourbons. What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the warm and welcoming atmosphere, which made it feel like more than just a meal out, but rather an experience shared with friends. The staff’s hospitality and dedication to making every guest feel at home contributed to what was undoubtedly a memorable evening. We are already eagerly anticipating our next visit and look forward to enjoying another fantastic meal, discovering more exceptional bourbons, and sharing the experience with some great friends. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Bourbon Country region—whether you're a bourbon enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates great food and service.“

“My three daughters and I ate at Smashing Tomato last night and as usual the food was absolutely amazing and the service was outstanding. We’re so lucky to have real Neapolitan pizza restaurant in Lex.“

“It's Olive Garden- I wish they made more food there versus shipping in product. Our server confirmed they do not make soups on site and they are a bit too salty (for me). That said - the lunch portion of the pasta was large and the salad and breadsticks delight. The croutons were a touch stale. The broccoli was plentiful and the salmon was good. Nothing standout.

Service could have been better. There were plenty of empty tables, but our waiter kept forgetting to bring us our requested items.“

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

“Taco Tico in Lexington was more than just a meal for me—it was reconnecting with a piece of my youth. Growing up in Kentucky, Taco Tico was my first real introduction to Tex-Mex fast food, and seeing one still thriving honestly made me smile. This location on Pimlico Parkway appears very well run, clean, and staffed by genuinely friendly people.

What stood out most was how much fresher and more substantial the food felt compared to larger national chains. Everything tasted properly prepared instead of mass assembled. The carne asada tacos were well dressed and flavorful, and the fish tacos were excellent, with fish that was just slightly overdone but still very enjoyable.

Best of all, the value was incredible—five tacos and two drinks for under $18. No gimmicks, no unnecessary flash, just genuinely good Tex-Mex fast food done right. It’s nice to see something from your younger days still around and still delivering quality“

“We always enjoy sitting outside at Palmers! Wonderful food and fantastic service!!!“

“Today I ordered the penne pasta and meatballs. It was very good but since I have a serious issue with acid reflex I could only eat a little of the tomato sauce. The manager saw I was not eating and asked if something was wrong. I explained the problem and he graciously gave me a free ham sandwich to take home. Now THAT is customer service. Kudos to that wonderful manager.“

“There is nothing on this menu I would not recommend. The grilled chicken is amazing, and of course their fried chicken is very tasty. If you have a specific request to your order they will accommodate whether that is adding or subtracting something. This Chick Fil A is our go to fast food restaurant. The wait is not long to get your order in your hands and it is juicy and delicious. The employees are so friendly and customer oriented. Rare you go somewhere that entire staff appreciate your business. Don’t forget to use your QRC code to get points that add up . I just started using after going here for years and I have already used some for a free meal.“

“This was the 1st time we'd eaten inside this Chick-fil-A. It was, nice, clean & tidy. The service & food were wonderful!
I was getting ready to sit at one of tables & Carter immediately came over & started drying off the table because he had noticed some water on it. He came back later to check how our food was. We were able to chat some with him. He is so polite & kind. An exceptional young man & worker! It was a great experience eating here!“

“For someone that comes in 4 to 5 times a week you get to know the people behind the counter I used to do reviews on best places to eat Ashley is good at making you laugh easy to talk with but her customer service is what keeps me coming back

Come check it out you won't be disappointed“

“Last weekend I went with my school on a field trip. Going through the line was fine, but as we got up to the counter the lady told us that the pop machine was down. Lemonade was a 10/10, the waffle fries were over salted, but other than that it was pretty good. Only issue I had was the woman who took the name from the order got my boyfriends name wrong, he told her "Ruiz, R-U-I-Z" and she put "Ryez" on the order lol. It was funny after though cause the guy who read it off looked just as confused as we were 💀“

“I had almost forgotten this good place to have a good meal at a reasonable price. Salads and soups for lunch. My favorite thing was that they have Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi, a rarity in most restaurants. 😎❤️🇺🇸“

“FOOD WAS GREAT! TOOK TOO LONG FOR FOOD TO BE READY.“

“Ladies of Lexington FB page members recommended Sir Pizza as one of the best pizza places in Lex. Richmond Roag location did not disappoint! Pizza was loaded with toppings. Tasty, yeasty crust. Good quality cheese. Quick wait. Manager was efficient and pleasant. I will go again, for sure.“

“Big thank you to Cheryl, who helped make my order right. This was no way the fault of Panera, but rather with the third party delivery service used when I placed my order through the app.

I ordered a sandwich for delivery and instead of receiving my Panera order, I received Taco Bell. Instead of reporting the issue to the third party deliver to get a refund, I called Panera to see what could be done. I was hungry and wanted food, not a refund.

I was connected with Cheryl, who told me they would make my meal and directed me to pick it up in the drive through. I offered to pick it up, btw. Not only was my meal perfect, but she threw in a cookie and a pup cup for my dog who was in the car with me. Also gave me a refund for having to drive to get my food. Nice!

This might not sound like a lot, but food delivery prices have gotten to be exorbitant. You pay double the price to get food delivered vs what you’d pay at the restaurant. You expect to get what you ordered. Cheryl went above and was beyond helpful. Much appreciated!“

“Definitely will be back soon“
