28 Best American Restaurants in Lexington

“Fantastic food and very nice servers. The Sopes were amazing! So was the horchata!“

“The first time I ate here was today for lunch. The food was good and the service was exceptional. Just my opinion I like salmon Pattie’s cooked with minced onion and egg and either crumbled saltine crackers or half cup cornmeal not flour. The person with me got chicken pie which was ok but dark meat was used instead of white meat and a bit dry if it didn’t have gravy on top. But I do plan to return to try other dishes.“

“I love this place! We moved to NC in 2019 and I his place had been our favorite go to place since we found this gem!
One of those, everybody knows your name spots but without the bar.
Wonderful food. Wonderful people. Wonderful place all together.“

“The food is very good and the people are very friendly Deserts are good also.“

“Excellent food at a price that would be hard to match if you cooked it yourself.

Parking: Mostly paved but hard gravel where it is not paved. It's in a small town, so it's all you can ask for.

Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere, great for kids , elderly, anyone.“

“I had the pulled pork BBQ platter . The BBQ is delicious ! They give you large portions. The onion rings are the best I’ve had in a long time . The bake beans could be improved they taste like out of a can and not made fresh . They only offer one kind of slaw the vinegar which was good . My grandkids loved the shrimp! ! I would highly recommend this place ! !“

“I've been coming here for a little over a year, my momma brought me here cause she INSISTED I try the Kearny burger even tho I don't like pimento cheese. This burger I tell you is HEAVEN. best burger you will find ANYWHERE between Rowan and Davie county.“

“Great food and friendly faces!“

“Great food, the server was on point and on top of things, tamara did an excellent job juggling between bar tending and waiting tables, and making sure we had everything we needed and making sure everything was good, great experience at Applebee's and a good server like tamara makes it all the better! Thank you!“

“Great food, good wine selection. However, if you go on Friday or Saturday night, the music is so loud it's excruciating. It should be more soft acoustic atmosphere so you can enjoy the music and conversation with friends.“

“I have passed here once each week since Dec. It has been my restroom stop driving from Fayetteville to work. Usually, it's to early for me to eat. No one has ever stopped me for not ordering. Staff is always beautiful and nice. Today, I ordered the daily special pork chops, turnip greens, and homemade mashed potatoes. I must say, I have slept on this restaurant. My food was delightfully delicious, all the girls were accommodating, great stop over all. Feeling blessed, thanks! Pork chops tender and seasoned yummy...

Vegetarian options: Very well seasoned...“

“I’ve had French toast at Cracker Barrel a lot over the years. Today I had the worst I’ve ever had. It was soggy inside even though the outside was nice & brown. It must have been soaked in the egg instead of dipped in it. I discovered this before I had used a drop of syrup on it. It’s usually puffed up & today it was flat. Very disappointed!“

“Located in the heart of Tyro, NC.

Their Greek Salad with grilled chicken and their Chicken Caesar Salad are great. The chicken is marinated, seasoned, and grilled, making it savory and juicy.

Their traditional bone-in Buffalo Wings are excellent. The largest wings I've had so far.

Their Strombolis and Calzones are great. Stuffed with your choice of options and baked golden brown. And a large is large. I can eat two to three meals from each.

Update 23Jun2024: If I get a stromboli from here, it is usually the Steak Special Stromboli. But today, I tried the New York Stromboli with ham, pepperoni, cheese, and other stuff with oregano and other spices on the crust. I can mumble, "WOW!" and "YUM!" But I can't say anymore because my mouth is full.“

“I was shocked when I was able to place my order and receive within 30 minutes on a crowded day. That's what stop me from going before because I didn't want to get stuck waiting while on break. I was definitely wrong and the staff was welcoming even on my way out the door“

“I would give more stars if I could The food was absolutely amazing. The filet was on point. No sauce needed. Bryd was are waitress. Very fun and informative. Would make the drive of 1.5 hrs from where I live to eat there again and have her serve us! Great job to all staff. Ladies up front were very helpful. The cooks are amazing! Thank you!“

“I used to come here all the time as a kid back when I lived here before moving to Florida when I was 7. It was always my favorite place to get breakfast. Now 20 years later I'm back in town for a cousin's wedding (Congrats Alec!) and I simply had to eat here once before heading back down to Gainesville. Needless to say, the Gravy Biscuit is just as incredible as I remember it being, and SHOCKINGLY LESS THAN $4.00 FOR SOMETHING THIS GOOD, IN THIS ECONOMY. HOW??? Both the biscuits and gravy are both absolute perfection. I NEED you guys to open a franchise down in Florida so that I can actually get a proper breakfast every morning before work and maybe Gainesville will be slightly less miserable (You'll need to work hard on that though because the Gators are absolutely beefing it this year).

Parking: Pretty easy to get in and out of, didn't know they had a drive-thru but it was a pretty long line of cars when I was there earlier, so I just walked in and got a to-go order, then drove down to Southern Lunch (they were closed but the parking lot was still open) and ate breakfast in my car while watching some trains go by. Overall a good morning.“

“The food is good and staff is excellent!!“

“This is one of the top restaurants in lexington and has been that way since I was young. It's one of those places you go to to get good friendly fast moving but still home grown type of service. It's in the biscuits! ♡ this restaurant is more of a home to us in davidson county.

Parking: It's a nice place for families to part ways after having a lovely breakfast/lunch

Kid-friendliness: They love kids

Wheelchair accessibility: Even to the curb and parking lot no stairs“

“First rate rate place I’ve been to since coming to Lexington. At someone can cook something besides barbecue. Try getting outside your own back yards!!!“

“I love me some Waffle House! I usually only get breakfast items, but today, because of Savanah (Savi); I ate a great deluxe burger with cheese, bacon and grilled onions, lettuce and pickles with eggs on the side. It was so delicious, fresh and juicy. I didn't know it would be that good!
I really enjoyed talking with the best and personable server I've ever had; very helpful and recommended some great items that I will definitely be back to try! You were awesome, Savi. I will be looking for you next time I come, and I talked to your manager outside, as I left. I hope she told you how wonderful you really are!!! You should get a huge raise!!!!! See you soon! Sonia“

“perfect patio peaceful & inviting. food was amazing, cooked perfect! our waitress Brook was friendly & the service from all staff exceeded my expectations! ♥️“

“Huevos Rancheros is on the menu, but we've gone to several restaurants in southern NM and THEY DON'T HAVE CORN TORTILLAS to even make it with. Not Alamogordo, Artesia, Carlsbad, or Roswell so far. WHY IS IT ON THE MENU if you don't even have the right ingredients?!? In Alamogordo right now and the server just told us they're "out of the stuff to make that". We should have gone to Alamo Grill.“
