“Jimmy is the man! We always love coming into Jimmy's for amazing craft cocktails and good conversation and laughter. Such an amicable genuine guy who is always welcoming. My husband and I always bring family and friends to Jimmy's when in town. Highly recommend a visit.”
“Had a marvelous time celebrating my friends Birthday and Connie was our waitress. What a dear. She made the occasion even more special with her kindness and delightful personality. She was awesome!!!!! Food was delicious too!”
“Such an awesome and amazing experience. I would recommend anyone try the eatery I'm sure you will be back. The vibe is like no other and the staff are so down to earth. If you want some great tacos definitely give them a try!”
“Great food and fast service. The BLT with fried green tomatoes was delicious. My husband had the grilled chicken club and said it was delicious also. The homemade potatoe cakes was as good as the ones my mom used to make. Will definitely go back.”
“First off, Wow!!! I order the Brisket with side of Mac and cheese and bake beans. At first I was a little thrown back by the price, but you get what you pay for, and what you get is amazing. The Mac and cheese is the best I have ever ate in my entire life and that is saying from me js. All around this a good little ?”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Nice place. More like a sports bar and the service is excellent! You can't go wrong with the Tavern Burger and they have a great selection of beer. My favorite so far is the Guilty Pleasure Expresso Cheesecake Stout with 12.2% ABV.”
“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!”
“Did a special valentines Diiner here. Awesome food and several different French wines. But keep in mind this special place and food selection doesn't need a special holiday to be awesome. See you there.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“The food and service there are excellent. They just do not have enough sitting room. They need a bigger building. Love the music too and the staff are always super friendly. Love this place. We live in Trinity and we will definitely be going back.”
“I love the coffee here so much that I buy 4 lbs a month to brew at home. I've also spent over$100 for gift certificates for the staff that cares for my mom. I would give 5 stars but was extremely disappointed to find that if you have a dairy allergy and request almond milk instead, they charge you 80 cents. I was rather surprised because normally I've ask and gotten it added with no charge. Again I love the coffee, but being charged 80 cents for a tablespoon of almond milk is outrageous. There should be options for everyone. Store brand almond milk is 2.89 a 1/2 gallon. Half and half the only choice is way more. Sorry I recommend the coffee here but may be buying mine elsewhere.”
“This is the best soul food restaurant out here in NC, the vibes were immaculate. The food was perfect!! The meat was falling off the bone good. The music was based off of what the customers wanted. The staff was literally like long lost family. They welcomed us with open arms into their business. The food is very affordable but absolutely delicious. We met JJ and his mom very sweet people. I would 100% come back here!”
“Just a little restaurant in downtown Lexington, but it has some of the most authentic food you will ever eat. This is the real deal, folks. This is where many Hispanics go to eat, which is what I look for in a restaurant. If a specific ethnic group appreciates the food from their heritage, that's what I want!It has a condensed, popular menu on the wall and a more broad and detailed menu on the counter.I have not eaten anything here that I did not like. Granted, I have not been through the complete menu but I'm working on it.It's just real authentic food. It's filling and just... awesome! Give it a try and let me know what you think. I bet you'll love it too.Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant entrance is at ground level, so, easy accessibility for wheelchairs.”
“Had a marvelous time celebrating my friends Birthday and Connie was our waitress. What a dear. She made the occasion even more special with her kindness and delightful personality. She was awesome!!!!! Food was delicious too!”
“Such an awesome and amazing experience. I would recommend anyone try the eatery I'm sure you will be back. The vibe is like no other and the staff are so down to earth. If you want some great tacos definitely give them a try!”
“Comfort foods and traditional fare at reasonable prices served quickly. Top notch service and tasty thoughtfully prepared food. Tastes great without a heavy hand on the salt shaker like some places. Food's flavor shines through as it should. No frills dining area appears to have lots of regulars. We plan to keep going and trying new things along with favorites we've enjoyed.”
“Nice place. More like a sports bar and the service is excellent! You can't go wrong with the Tavern Burger and they have a great selection of beer. My favorite so far is the Guilty Pleasure Expresso Cheesecake Stout with 12.2% ABV.”
“Sopes were delicious the birra tacos were on point and the rice and beans were delicious and the supreme burrito was delicious. If you haven't been here? You should come on down because their food was amazing the homemade tortillas didn't get soggy or fall apart they were on point. Thank you to the cooks and our waitress you all did an amazing job .”
“I have been twice and I believe that I have ordered the Panang Curry both times. Admittingly, I can't remember exactly what I tried my first visit, but I remember it being fantastic, which matches up with my most recent visit. The Panang Curry base has an extremely balanced base, being rich with a hint of spice. Personally, I don't like the bell peppers it comes with, so I meticulously fish them out but it's other contents include green pea pods, pineapple chunks, broccoli, and more that I currently cannot recall. I sampled the springs rolls, but in all honesty they tasted like they are, being bland lettuce and carrots wrapped in rice paper. Despite this very dispassionate appetizer, I must recommend anyone visit based on the dish I tried alone. The restaurant also features a semi-common theme amongst Thai places where you can order things as they are or with increased spices for more heat. My only other negative would be that it appeared that only one hostess/waitress was available. Therefore, it took a while to get a check and pay when all was enjoyed and done. I understand that not everyone wants to work in the service industry in this economy, so it is barely even a negative mark. The interior is a unique wooden accented space with booths, tables, and small swivel chair, two person tables.”
“Elizabeth on hwy 8. I highly recommend Ppl are so nice friendly wanting to help you I was actually told how the Italian Panzarottis were made in Italy that was really cool how the owner gave me that I was thought a totally different way but I'm going to try their way Great Place for Excellent food and service Thank you very much Rose I came in on my birthday ? so you should remember me *️⃣*️⃣*️⃣*️⃣*️⃣”
“Honestly this is hands down one of my families favorite places. My children absolutely love it here. They always greet us and treat us with so much kindness and respect! My kids love their ice cream and I love their esquites with hot Cheetos! So so good! Don’t even think twice about it. JUST GO CHECK IT OUT!”

“Great place and the people are amazing! The staff know what they are doing! Everyone truly cares. Great place to sit down and get a coffee and/or a desert pastry. Plenty other odds and ends too. Keep up the awesome work!Wheelchair accessibility: Got a ramp.”
“My hometown eatery, this place is my heaven on earth, been going here since I was a little girl. Thank you all for what you do, and the ppl here are so nice, godbless ???Kid-friendliness: Even picky eaters will love it here!”
“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.”

Old 64 Diner
“Really good diner. You must try the "wipeout" burger. It is fantastic. I had the fried pork chop special and they were really good. They do need to serve gravy with them. The tater tots are delicious also. Prices are good. They are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.”
“The owners and employees are the most welcoming of any winery I’ve ever been to, plus I’ve yet to try a wine I didn’t like. Such a beautiful and welcoming place to hang out.”
Takeout Restaurants
“Great food and fast service. The BLT with fried green tomatoes was delicious. My husband had the grilled chicken club and said it was delicious also. The homemade potatoe cakes was as good as the ones my mom used to make. Will definitely go back.”
“Our first experience here was amazing! The lady who served us was very kind, and the ciders were delicious. My favorite is the creme de l'orange. I will definitely be coming back!”
“Walked up to the food stand and got greeted as a rookie eater had to get me 2 hotdogs and a cheeseburger and a drink 14$ they have lots of deals that's good for the whole family I will definitely be coming back here to eat next time I have work in the area and love the people there love there mood while working very uplifting!!”
“CONSISTENTLY GREAT FOOD! The chopped bbq speaks for itself. It needs no compliments. Order it. See for yourself why they stay popping. The non-BBQ item that gets me is the.. chicken tender basket (large because I HAVE to!) feature the best chicken tenders in town in my opinion! The BBQ style food is UNBEATABLE if you wanting a "genuine Lexington based BBQ" experience.”
“Did a special valentines Diiner here. Awesome food and several different French wines. But keep in mind this special place and food selection doesn't need a special holiday to be awesome. See you there.”

“I’ll be honest - I first heard about this bakery because I saw a post on Facebook about their support for the LGBTQ+ community and it immediately garnered my interest. Being a gay man, it’s not common to see a business support this in a small, southern town so when I saw this business was not only supportive of the community but also in my area, I HAD to go. Absolutely the best decision I could have made. Friendly, fast and of course delicious! The fruity pebble cake, cherry yum yum and pumpkin yum yum are my favorites that I will always get when I have the chance. And now even though I live in Raleigh, I still take every chance I get to stop by for some pastries. I hope you ladies keep up the great work because the impact this bakery has had on me is far greater than what I expected when I first walked through those doors.”

“Sweet, funky, refurbished warehouse in historic building Hipster, craft brewery vibe Would definitely come back for a cocktail and to listen to live music Coffee OK, did not have heavy cream though, only 1/2 and 1/2 Food from separate vendor adjacent to brewery was just OK”
“Been going to eat here for a very long time!! Roast beef sandwich is the BEST!!! Great food all around. The staff is nothing short of on the spot!! Love love love this place!!!”
“Was greeted when entering the restaurant. Waitress was very friendly, food was excellent, service was great! Big portion of chicken and dumplings! Homemade and delicious! Will definitely order them again. Just like my grandma use to make. Big selection of vegetables.”
“I used to live in Lexington, North Carolina for about 17 years. And the first speedy Lori's barbecue in southmont is where I grew up eating barbecue and it serves just as well today over. 23 years later it tastes just the same and is the best quality. I finally got to bring my wife and she loves it. I've been talking about it for 15 years.”
“If you want to experience Lexington (western) style BBQ, this is one of your top two options. Probably more famous for their Banana Splits, they hold their own with traditional shoulder pork; properly chopped or course. Plenty of seating and an atmosphere reminiscent if my childhood visiting local diners. If you can, ask for a chopped plate with sauce on the side…sometimes the pork can be drowning in the sauce without an opportunity to savor the smoke flavor the pitmasters work hard to curate.”
“Dusina’s has been a frequent pizza place for my family, ever since I can remember. The pizza always has the best taste, the best crust flavor, and so many leftovers. Calling Dusina’s for your game night favorites is the best idea, because the wings are amazing, along with their countless subs, wing flavors, side items and even pastas! Though it is a tad difficult to reach someone over the phone, you wont regret placing an order. Nothing beats a night in, with pizza, salad, and wings from Dusina’s!Parking: There aren’t many spots, but as this isn’t a sit down restaurant there is always parking available.”
“Been passing through this little town for my company for 4 years and never discovered this place until my coworkers took me for our meeting i love the chicken Parmesan. Whenever I come back to your town to visit i will definitely ”

Eve's Diner
“Great little diner. The food is always good and the service is outstanding. I do wish there were a few more dinner items but what they have is very good. The prices are great.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Really good diner. You must try the "wipeout" burger. It is fantastic. I had the fried pork chop special and they were really good. They do need to serve gravy with them. The tater tots are delicious also. Prices are good. They are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday.”
“Went through the drive through and the lady working the drive through was so sweet and polite. When I got to the window, I could see that she was working very very hard, taking orders, filling the orders, ringing them up and handing the food out the window. She did all this with a smile on her face and a positive attitude.Parking: Parking is available in front of the restaurant.”
“Great place to go get some good food with a great bunch of people that are friendly n ready to help you out with anything you needKid-friendliness: They love having kids visit so they can see how there biscuits are made fresh everyday by hand so they can see the work and effort they put into there food everyday”
“I hadn't been to Biscuit King in years. I specifically went to get a grilled cheese sandwich as they were great years ago. The cashier was very friendly, and the establishment was clean. The food is made to order. The french fries were good. The grilled cheese, not so much. It was dry. Not buttery. I was disappointed. If I go back, I'll have them add more butter.”
“Looks like a great hometown restaurant. I wonder if it used to be a Dairy Queen back in the day, but I'm not from the area so I can't tell.Friendly staff, locals only, and pretty good ice cream. Soft serve was light and airy. Complete opposite of a Cookout milkshake across the street.”
“This is one of my favorite NC wineries...the library tastings are a treasure! The owner is knowledgeable and willing to share, the tasting room folks are friendly, and the wines are well thought out. I learn something new every time I go here and enjoy some really lovely wines.”
“Best taco bell around lexington area! I frequent taco bells often as this is my favorite fast food place and I'm an independent contractor so I have to eat on the go often. This taco bell always has the freshest food, the beef is on point, the shells are always good and crunchy like they should be. They always put a good amount of sour cream on the whole entire taco, not just one side like most TB's do. I absolutely love this specific TB and will go out of my way to stop here. Not to mention Sheetz is directly beside of it so you can get your truck filled up and your belly filled up all ok the same stop. Highly highly recommend to any and everyone!!Parking: Plenty of space to park and rest to eat if you wish. Wheelchair accessibility is very well done here also.”
“Back in the day fast food restaurants competed to have the best value.. now they compete to Have the highest prices with lowest portion. I was happy with my Meal.. I'll be back.”
“Seems to be the last restaurant in Lexington that serves French Toast Sticks. That is why I give it an overall 5 star rating.Food: I mean, the food is processed, of course, but sometimes a man wants some French toast sticks. ?Service: Seems to have hardworking, friendly people. They seem lively in there.Atmosphere: It's been there a while, could be cleaned up a bit, but ain't nobody gonna do that.”
“If you want more for your money & taste. There chicken sandwich is the best ! Also plenty of sauce & pickles. Tried Bojangles, too small & pricey. Great customer service. This is for the one on Main St.”
“Placed an order from the online catering site for a business meeting a few miles down the road. Showed up about 45 min early, let them know my timeline, and when I needed the food to be ready. Pulled out a computer to get some work done in the meantime. The staff came over and offered to get me a coffee while I waited. When the time came to get my order, they were right on top of it, had the food ready and hot. Could not have asked for a better experience, setting a great mood for the meeting and the rest of the day.Parking: The parking lot is kind of weird to access at this Chick-Fil-A. They have a secondary entrance/exit blocked off so you have to circle the lot to get in. Blocking the entrance actually improves the flow of traffic through the drive through, but the unnecessary circling of the building both to get in and get out is a bit cumbersome.”
“They were getting ready to close on a holiday. Still made our food let us sit and eat. Them employees really know how to make their store shine. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Parking: Plenty of open parking on both sides. Private parking lot.Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphereWheelchair accessibility: Acces not a problem”
“After a long shift, I occasionally treat myself to the $5.99 veggie cravings box (online exclusive). As a vegetarian myself, they've done quite a good job so far with making sure my orders are correct, so props to them for that! The portions they give you are actually decent compared to some other Taco Bells in the area.They recently remodeled, and I'm sure the interior looks nice, but the location in general is hard to get to (especially at night... Use stop lights to your advantage). Service gets a 5/5 because I'm surprised people even work there at the hours I'm up.They did forget to give me a fork once... It's okay, we're all tired so it's understandable! If you need one, make sure you ask them for an extra fork in the drive thru just in case...Now, even though I gave this place 5 stars, keep in mind that this is still a Taco Bell: it's fast food, so don't expect fine dining. But for the late-night retail worker (me), it's a no brainer :)Vegetarian options: To prevent potential order screwups, I recommend ordering straight from the vegetarian menu instead of trying to customize something (i.e ordering a 5 layer beef burrito without the beef... Who even does that???)Vegetarian foods are marked with a green diamond with a white "V" in the middle for better clarity.If you're a hardcore vegetarian, I wouldn't recommend this place because I doubt they use separate equipment for specifically vegetarian food items alone. Take that as you will... I'm chill with it ?”
“They are becoming notorious for making you pull up in the drive through and wait for your order. It's ridiculous- yesterday we waited almost 10 minutes, though inside it showed pur order was complete.”
“My husband and I have been coming here the past few weekends. We previously had a bad experience months ago but decided to try it again! So glad we did because the food and service is on point. We’ve had about every waitress and they’re all great. I think it’s important to understand you need to get there early to avoid a crowd, food came out quick and hot. The march margarita is SO good and consistent & the spinach dip is phenomenal !! Too many good things to say about this place. Try it!”
“Pretty good experience. Food was good. Staff was pleasant. I would recommmed giving them a try if you haven’t. The pizza bar is great but the salad bar was off the chain. TONS to choose from. The rest of my party ordered off of the menu and it was all good. Fries are banging!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Cheap Eats
“Love this place it was my first time eating here! I love that they have table games to play and the people are so nice!! The atmosphere is amazing and everything is so quaint :)”
“Stopped in for lunch got the finger lickin chicken sandwich with tots. Was really good. I didn't know what it was before I ordered it. The entire wait staff was friendly and made sure we had everything we wanted/needed.”
“I usually get the General T'So' Chicken. The lunch and dinner plates are packed so full that I can eat off of 1 plate twice, if not 3 times. The lady that cooks always pays close attention to your wants. I have Never had to go back because an order was wrong. My wife gets the Goo Goo Gai Pan ; and absolutely loves it. FAAN 'S prices can't be beat, nor their helpings of food.Parking: FAAN is located in a small Food Lion plaza, but there is Plenty of parking. I've never had problems finding parking.”
“The name has changed to Taylor's Tavern. The service was good and the atmosphere was what I expected for a small town bar. We had a good time with reasonably priced drinks! We will be going back for another night out soon!!”
“By far the best bq we've ever had. Got 3 plates to go to eat in the truck, traveling with dogs. I tipped when I received the order but after eating I went back in to compliment them on their awesome food. Left a bigger tip because these 3 ladies hustle their buttons off. Tender, not overly smoky, great sides. 5 stars for the food and service.”
“My wife and I made a reservation for Friday night and couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised at the food, the service, and the ambience. For a small, cozy and quaint place the chef is absolutely outstanding. The meals were tasty, with fresh ingredients, and beautifully presented. My wife asked if he would make her a vegetarian dish, and she said it was literally the best vegetarian meal she’s ever had. Everything was outstanding, and we were blown away to find such a wonderful dinner in a relatively small town. The service was also very polite, friendly and professional. If you’re in the Lexington area, you always yourself to make a reservation!”
“If you are like us and have loved Godfathers Pizza well this is a Great find. From where we live a Godfathers Pizza is 4 hours away. My husband found this restaurant only about an hour and a half from our house. You walk in order your favorite pizza at the counter. Then get your drink cup and head to the dining room where you can find Coke product drinks, fill your cup and find a seat to wait for your delicious pizza. They bring it out already in a box that you no doubt will be taking some home. This is a Great place for pizza, when you have eaten all you can you can shop in some of the nicest antuique stores and a boutique. Hope you enjoy the pizza as much as we did.”
“Food was good but coffee tasted burned. After telling waitress about it all she said was " well its fresh" . We got the old cold shoulder treatment from then until we ”
“Been a long time customer of Stamey's. The staff is always remarkable and if your food isn't right they fix it with a smile. The atmosphere is always happy and relaxing. The specials are on point and reasonable prices considering our economy.”
“This is THE spot to go in Lexington if you're out to try your luck at some slots or other sweepstakes-type gaming! The atmosphere here is Always friendly, but even the other players here always seem to make you feel welcomed and basically like family! The people who work here are Always helpful and nice to every customer and make you feel right at home! If you've got a couple extra bucks and want to try your luck, THIS IS DEFINITELY the spot to go in Lexington!”
“This is a great local watering hole to visit, especially if you visit here on a Tuesday night because pool is free. Make sure to arrive here before 730 or there will be no tables. They also have darts and cornhole. They don't serve food here anymore which is the only downfall, but try the spicy pork rinds with hot sauce on them. The Japanese restaurant next door will deliver to the bar.”
“Our favorite Mexican restaurant in Lexington! Love the variety of the menu, amazing friendly staff and great food at great prices. Have renovated inside and out, new windows, paint, booths etc... Looks great! Favorites are the chili relleno, alambre, quesadillas, fajitas & molcajete.Vegetarian options: Veggie fajitas, veggie quesadillas, bean dishes, plenty of non-meat options to choose from!”
“The cheese steaks are good depending on who's making them in also remember to ask for extra meat if you really want to enjoy it in also by all means please check your order before leaving smh.”
“Clean restaurant, only 2 customers, bread fresh, quick serviceParking: Plenty of free parkingKid-friendliness: Kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Tables with wheelchair accessibility”
“When they first started serving chicken it was amazing. I was addicted!But the last few times I've gotten it, it's been way too salty. The last time I was barely able to eat it.It seems that since they've had kids working in the kitchen the quality has gone down.Also, I've learned that they cook pork in the same oil as the chicken. This means that people who don't or can't eat pork, can get sick when they eat the chicken.”
“I do doordash, when I got done I grabbed the kids Japanese.... I love the rice and veggie-tables lol.... carrots n mushrooms my jam lol!!!! Idky but it's NOT just them, prices are goin up and plates are gettin Hella smaller.... why????”
“Absolutely enchanting experience at The Grape Escape Vineyard! From the moment we stepped onto the grounds, we were captivated by the serene atmosphere and picturesque vineyards. The wine tasting was an exquisite journey through their diverse selection, expertly guided by knowledgeable owners Kym and Neil who made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Each sip revealed layers of flavor, showcasing the craftsmanship and passion behind every bottle. We left feeling not only delighted by the wines but also enriched by the warm hospitality and charming ambiance. A must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking a truly unforgettable experience. Five stars without a doubt!”
“If you’re looking for amazing pizza , good vibes and good drinks in Lexington Pour Folk’s is the place to go. We ordered a cauliflower crust pizza with ricotta cheese and basil for $12 and it was so so good. I could eat that every time I come. I also ordered a bibimbap bowl as a salad with plant based chicken for $13 and it was great! This is a wonderful spot to come hang out and get really tasty food as well as enjoy a drink and some entertainment since it’s inside of Goose and Monkey. Will definitely be returning.Vegetarian options: You can request plant based meats and cauliflower crust on all menu options”
“Great service, friendly and helpful staff. Food was delicious.. I would recommend this place. Huge step-up from previous establishment so don't let the old sign fool you... "live " guacamole and fresh salsa were best in town.***update****Came back to see if the experience was a fluke.. it wasn't, the food was even better this time around. Service was also better which is saying alot. Great service excellent food..”
“We ordered the Perch family bundle (my Mom's favorite fish ?) and was definitely not disappointed!! It fed the whole lot of us with some able to have seconds? Thank you Ocean View Seafood for helping us make our Mom's birthday dinner a success ?”
“I have been a frequent customer for 20 plus years and have never had a bad meal. The wait staff is amazing and jimmy and rose are the most amazing people. I highly recommend you eat at such an amazing restaurant. Shotos should be a staple for anyone traveling through lexington.”
“Really good Mexican food. Some gringo, some authentic and most not unusual but very well prepared. Something for everyone!Wheelchair accessibility: Good parking access though only two curb cutouts. Easy to enter door and lobby. Not all resting the best for accessibility so work with your host on what works best for you.”
“Walked in, placed my 4 meal to-go order and 15 minutes later I'm on my way home. The staff was pleasant, the order was correct and the food tasted great.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking wheelchair accessible.”
“This is one of my favorite NC wineries...the library tastings are a treasure! The owner is knowledgeable and willing to share, the tasting room folks are friendly, and the wines are well thought out. I learn something new every time I go here and enjoy some really lovely wines.”
“We did takeout but we live 10 min from here food was fresh and delicious! Definitely be back for more. My daughter got one slice of pepperoni pizza and me and gubs got the chicken sub and steak sub very good. Better than Thomasville Elizabeth pizza and that's where we're from. 10/10”
“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.”
“We were traveling, found Yarboroughs on Google. We were pleasantly surprised at the quality food we had. We all cleaned our plates. It's an old establishment, but we liked it. Friendly, efficient service and we were back on the road. Will stop again.”

“Pizza was great. The young lady who was working the night I came in was by herself there and she was doing an amazing job of keeping up. My pizza was not ready exactly when it was supposed to be but she was very apologetic and did her best to get it to me quickly. Hats off to that girl for doing her best and not getting cranky. She deserves a raise!”
“We ordered the Perch family bundle (my Mom's favorite fish ?) and was definitely not disappointed!! It fed the whole lot of us with some able to have seconds? Thank you Ocean View Seafood for helping us make our Mom's birthday dinner a success ?”
“Did a special valentines Diiner here. Awesome food and several different French wines. But keep in mind this special place and food selection doesn't need a special holiday to be awesome. See you there.”
“I’ll be honest - I first heard about this bakery because I saw a post on Facebook about their support for the LGBTQ+ community and it immediately garnered my interest. Being a gay man, it’s not common to see a business support this in a small, southern town so when I saw this business was not only supportive of the community but also in my area, I HAD to go. Absolutely the best decision I could have made. Friendly, fast and of course delicious! The fruity pebble cake, cherry yum yum and pumpkin yum yum are my favorites that I will always get when I have the chance. And now even though I live in Raleigh, I still take every chance I get to stop by for some pastries. I hope you ladies keep up the great work because the impact this bakery has had on me is far greater than what I expected when I first walked through those doors.”
“My husband and myself enjoy going to coach"s, we always may sure we get Amy White as our service she always goes about and Beyond to make sure our vist is always perfect, she's the best and we will continue going back to see her!!”
“Had some of the best food and service I have had in a loooong time. Went at lunch time had plenty of room for seating and food came out quick!Waitress was Awesome ?”
“Great food and fast service. The BLT with fried green tomatoes was delicious. My husband had the grilled chicken club and said it was delicious also. The homemade potatoe cakes was as good as the ones my mom used to make. Will definitely go back.”
“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!”
“This is the best soul food restaurant out here in NC, the vibes were immaculate. The food was perfect!! The meat was falling off the bone good. The music was based off of what the customers wanted. The staff was literally like long lost family. They welcomed us with open arms into their business. The food is very affordable but absolutely delicious. We met JJ and his mom very sweet people. I would 100% come back here!”
“Business is only a few months old, but food and service are fantastic! Small town with big business, but you’ll not see harder working people! I don’t know anyone working there, but I look forward to being known as a “regular”!We’ve been there for every meal hour.”

“I love the coffee here so much that I buy 4 lbs a month to brew at home. I've also spent over$100 for gift certificates for the staff that cares for my mom. I would give 5 stars but was extremely disappointed to find that if you have a dairy allergy and request almond milk instead, they charge you 80 cents. I was rather surprised because normally I've ask and gotten it added with no charge. Again I love the coffee, but being charged 80 cents for a tablespoon of almond milk is outrageous. There should be options for everyone. Store brand almond milk is 2.89 a 1/2 gallon. Half and half the only choice is way more. Sorry I recommend the coffee here but may be buying mine elsewhere.”
“Our first experience here was amazing! The lady who served us was very kind, and the ciders were delicious. My favorite is the creme de l'orange. I will definitely be coming back!”
“My hometown eatery, this place is my heaven on earth, been going here since I was a little girl. Thank you all for what you do, and the ppl here are so nice, godbless ???Kid-friendliness: Even picky eaters will love it here!”
“The food and service there are excellent. They just do not have enough sitting room. They need a bigger building. Love the music too and the staff are always super friendly. Love this place. We live in Trinity and we will definitely be going back.”
“We normally go to the Greensboro locations, but decided to go to Lexington this time. The difference in the staff and the food was not even comparable. The staff at the Lexington restaurant was superb. Everyone had great attitudes. We were served in a timely manner, and everything was accurate.”
“CONSISTENTLY GREAT FOOD! The chopped bbq speaks for itself. It needs no compliments. Order it. See for yourself why they stay popping. The non-BBQ item that gets me is the.. chicken tender basket (large because I HAVE to!) feature the best chicken tenders in town in my opinion! The BBQ style food is UNBEATABLE if you wanting a "genuine Lexington based BBQ" experience.”
“If you want to experience Lexington (western) style BBQ, this is one of your top two options. Probably more famous for their Banana Splits, they hold their own with traditional shoulder pork; properly chopped or course. Plenty of seating and an atmosphere reminiscent if my childhood visiting local diners. If you can, ask for a chopped plate with sauce on the side…sometimes the pork can be drowning in the sauce without an opportunity to savor the smoke flavor the pitmasters work hard to curate.”
“Placed an order from the online catering site for a business meeting a few miles down the road. Showed up about 45 min early, let them know my timeline, and when I needed the food to be ready. Pulled out a computer to get some work done in the meantime. The staff came over and offered to get me a coffee while I waited. When the time came to get my order, they were right on top of it, had the food ready and hot. Could not have asked for a better experience, setting a great mood for the meeting and the rest of the day.Parking: The parking lot is kind of weird to access at this Chick-Fil-A. They have a secondary entrance/exit blocked off so you have to circle the lot to get in. Blocking the entrance actually improves the flow of traffic through the drive through, but the unnecessary circling of the building both to get in and get out is a bit cumbersome.”
“Cagney's is your food you would expect from small town restaurant. This restaurant is small chain in several local cities. The food is good and hadn't been disappointed. The amount or quality lacks ever so often but that's expected as many places these days. The staff is attentive mostly unless it's super busy then it lacks some as other restaurants do. The checking out process can be streamlined for sure due to 1 register, 1 line and 1 cashier can't take time to leave the restaurant. We spent more time waiting I think checking out than eating our food today. Parking is adequate. It's a good stop in for non fast and is close to the interstate. Just don't be in a rush and traveling needing a little down time instead of a hurry.”
“I went inside and ordered yesterday and the manager crystal was amazing! My food came our with onions and I don't eat onions and crystal fixed it fast and without any problem! The GM lynn comes out and talks to the customers to make you feel right at home!! All of the employees are kind and give service with a smile! Highly recommend this restaurant!!”
“Looks like a great hometown restaurant. I wonder if it used to be a Dairy Queen back in the day, but I'm not from the area so I can't tell.Friendly staff, locals only, and pretty good ice cream. Soft serve was light and airy. Complete opposite of a Cookout milkshake across the street.”
“Sopes were delicious the birra tacos were on point and the rice and beans were delicious and the supreme burrito was delicious. If you haven't been here? You should come on down because their food was amazing the homemade tortillas didn't get soggy or fall apart they were on point. Thank you to the cooks and our waitress you all did an amazing job .”
“Excellent service and delicious food, it is difficult in these times to find a good place to dine with a pleasant atmosphere and this place is one of them. Congratulations to all the restaurant staff. Highly ”
“The best cookout in North Carolina! The only cookout that sells fried okra in the state. Food his always fresh! Burgers are always juicy! This is the ONLY cookout in the state that I frequent. If all cookouts ran a business as successful as this one and would add fried okra to their menus, maybe I’d eat at cookouts more often. For now, I’m satisfied with my twice per month, while on the road to get my daughter, visit to this cookout in Lexington. Simply the best!”
“My husband and myself enjoy going to coach"s, we always may sure we get Amy White as our service she always goes about and Beyond to make sure our vist is always perfect, she's the best and we will continue going back to see her!!”

“Highly recommend this food truck in Lexington, very delicious. They take cash and card . Service was fast and very attentive. The tacos are delicious especially theSuadero meat (brisket beef) and the chorizo (red sausage) . Parking is a bit crowded at times due to the traffic coming in and out from the meat store . There usually always parked behind the meat store . I’m not sure on the time and certain days they are available but we have gone through the week around 5-7pm and we have seen them . Definitely come out and support this local food truck .Parking: Parking may be difficult since they are located in a parking lot already . Sometimes there is a lot of traffic coming in and out from the near stores but you should be able to find parking .”
