Lou Lou's Seafood 514 N Main St, Lexington Seafood • $$
514 N Main St, Lexington

“This will be our new favorite spot to stop at to get takeout as we come into town.The shrimp poboy, the grilled shrimp platter, and the fried deviled eggs were all fantastic! Flavors were on point. I am a huge shrimp fan. These were succulent. Not too small, not too big. The brussels sprouts side was also excellent. The only thing I wasn’t as crazy about were the hush puppies, which are a bit firmer than the ones I grew up with in the low country.We live in Lexington quite a few months out of the year, but we come from Asheville, where we both work. Often we need to work during the day and then head up to Lexington, and it’s a 2 1/2 hour drive, so by the time we arrive, we are hungry, but we don’t want to sit down to dinner, because we want to get to the lake house!We are thrilled we found this place! Now we just stop here on our way in; the food is prepared really quickly, and we just take it all back to the lake and have a feast. See photos. I want to try everything on the menu!”

Native Vines Winery 1336 NC-150, Lexington Wineries • $$
1336 NC-150, Lexington

“I've been coming to Native vines since around 2008 and it's been great to see the evolution of this winery. While I wouldn't necessarily categorize this as my favorite in the area, they've made a lot of improvements in the last few years, including additions to the property, such as a back patio and lawn area. They have a range of wines that skew to the sweet side (I'm more of a dry fan), but the dry reds they have are well priced sippers. The sangria is good for a party, and fans of sweeter wines will find a lot to enjoy in the apple, blackberry, and tea offerings. Really, I count this as a 3.5 stars given my palette, but I'm going four because of the nice people and focus on sweets.”

Christo's Original 1718 Cotton Grove Rd, Lexington Pizza • $$
1718 Cotton Grove Rd, Lexington

“I've been eating at this restaurant for years, but for some reason have never reviewed it until now. And here's the thing about Christo's: some of the criticisms in other reviews are valid, and there are definitely things the restaurant could and should aspire to do better with. The service here, and the atmosphere it sometimes creates, is something I've never really seen in a restaurant before: some of the staff here can be downright rude. Sometimes, you'll find a group of servers/employees standing at the front near the buffet waiting on orders loudly discussing work drama and speaking negatively about the place and/or other employees. Sometimes it's other customers who lack manners. And yes, if you go at certain times (the end of lunch, for example) you're going to get pizza from the buffet that's last its prime. But even with all of that in mind, we love eating here because the food is just really good when it's done right. They serve my husband's favorite Philly cheese steak. Their pastas and subs are fantastic, and though inconsistent, their wings are awesome. The pizza buffet has an excellent variety of pizzas, and the corresponding salad bar has a ton of different toppings and my favorite restaurant ranch dressing. The supreme pizza, as well as the Philly cheese steak bread stuff, are among the best options, and their dessert pizzas are a really yummy change of pace as well. Even though this place does have its flaws and its bad days, we keep coming back because we just love the food that much at the end of the day.”
