“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.“

“I have loved Blaze pizza since there was one on UK‘s campus at the corner of Lime and Pine. I miss them terribly. Today I decided to drive clear across town to eat at the one at the Summit. It did not disappoint. I love that you can build your own pizza, plus they have green olives. None of the major pizza joints or chains have green olives. Blaze also has Coke instead of Pepsi, which bumps it up on my list. The manager on duty was named Shirley and she made sure the experience was a good one from the time you walked in until the time you left. The staff was very attentive and engaged us to the point of telling us about the specials. I got a half pizza and a drink deal and my son got a build your own 11 inch. Both were delicious. We will be driving clear across town more often because it is my new favorite pizza.“

“Was going through Lexington to see my family and this place caught my eye, curiousity killed the cat, had to see what it was about.. Very friendly staff and plenty of cool things to buy. Loved the candles and drip recipes.. Ower was a very beautiful lady who was extremely polite and helped me with choosing frim the menu. When it go back I would love to try their different varieties of their tea. Thanks again ladys ??“

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

“This Olive Garden is always our go to! Fantastic service as always. We had Riley as our server and he was great and super friendly and fast with anything we needed. Food always comes out fresh and hot and the building is especially beautiful. Go give this one a try when you can! We had the new creamy mushroom ravioli and the small portion fettuccine Alfredo with added shrimp.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Whichever gentleman was the manager or assistant manager on 3/24/26 at around 1:00 deserves recognition for how he handled things during an obviously hectic time. I hope this review finds its way upper management bc that guy deserves his exceptional work being recognized.“

“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.“

“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 💀“

“For the past five months or so, I have taken a liking to this Panera. It provides a cozy atmosphere, like many Panera(s), for a pre-brunch morning escape. And, unlike any other times when I use to frequent any Panera, I find the food here to be surprisingly delicious, satisfying, and all at a reasonable price.

However, there are often long waiting-periods for food, especially for dine-in services. And I've noticed frequent blunders with guest's orders when traffic picks up.

Also, there is one manager/lead/supervisor, particularly a tall woman who, at least to me, comes across as rude and unwelcoming. I kind of dread when she's there.“

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

“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. 😎❤️🇺🇸“
