Maid-Rite is a beloved local restaurant in a small river town, offering a unique dining experience with hometown favorites, an ice cream menu, and a cozy atmosphere. This classic drive-in has been a Lexington icon since the 1940s and has been a staple in the community for decades. While the food may not be top-tier, it is described as unique and well-served. The restaurant is known for its signature loose meat sandwiches, often referred to as crumble, along with crispy fries, onion rings, and the best milkshakes and malts in town.
It is especially popular for lunch and supper during the summer, making it sometimes hard to find a parking spot. The small interior features stool seating, and there are original drive-up order spots outside with carhop service. Maid-Rite operates on a cash and check basis only, with an ATM available inside. Many agree that it is worth the stop if one is in town, as it feels like a time machine to a different era, long before fast food chains dominated small towns. Overall, the food is decent, and service is prompt and pleasant.
