28 Best American Restaurants in Lexington

“Great food and even better service. Such kind folks. We will be back.“

“First timer! Love the burgers and fun atmosphere! Plus this place was spotless to be in a gas station!“

“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.“

“Great food,big portions,great prices and a great staff!“

“My sister & I ate there today for the very 1st time. I ordered fried chicken & it was AWESOME!! Sundays appear to be busy so you want to get there before the church crowd.“

“Friendly, family oriented group of people. Everyone, staff and patrons are so friendly. No drama, reasonable prices and awesome merchandise. Look forward to every visit!!!“

“I was part of a group of 20 or so adults and kids. The food was great but I don't think the staff wasn't ready for such a large group even after an advanced notice. The wait staff was ok but could use improvement. I would still go good a try it again in a smaller group.“

“Awesome place! Awesome food“

“The staff are friendly and the food is great. Will be back soon.“

“Im mad!! Mad I tells ya!
..that I just now found this place! My God, the food is exactly what you would want form this kind of establishment. They know what they do and they do it well. In the great search for drive in and places like this, Kearney's is a winner. And I even looked at the bad reviews, having to go back 4 years to find some, so this let's you know they are a staple in this area.“

“I've been there twice. incredible food and wonderful service.“

“Great food and friendly faces!“

“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.“

“It’s been more than 15 years since I last visited Speedy’s BBQ after moving out of the area. It’s always a bit of a question after that much time how a place holds up. So excited to see this place sticking to tradition and clearly has not floundered over the years.
This is top of the line NC pork bbq! Always has been and continues to one of my very favorite places to find this style of bbq done right.
The staff is friendly and welcoming and the service on point. It’s been redecorated some since my last visit but continues to have nice country appeal.
I had the chopped bbq sandwich with slaw. I found the best way to eat it is dump it opened onto plate and then drenched in their homemade sauce. Hit the spot!
Definitely wish I still lived closer but will always stop in when passing through.“

“Our visit to Cracker Barrel was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere, Service, food and quality were perfect.

Very sorry to hear that they’re changing their logo, and the atmosphere inside as that’s what is so unique about Cracker Barrel and history. Very sad to hear this, and obviously so the shareholders as your stock prices dipped tremendously with the news.

I hope that they rethink their decision, as they’re ruining your entire corporate mold, which is sad.“

“Took my wife here for her birthday. Our steaks were delicious and cooked well. The potato skins were so good! The drinks were perfect & service was the best. Really appreciate the birthday wishes from staff for my wife - we will be back.“

“The food is really good. Service was WONDERFUL. My tea never ran close to empty. The wait staff seemed to be on their game the entire time. Met a friend there i hadn't seen in almost a year and it was a great place to meet. Very clean and had a industrial trucker vibe. Will continue to return“

“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.“

“Great place, food and people ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“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“

“Our waitress was nice and very helpful. I highly enjoyed the food. My hubby couldn't taste anything. I think he had something going on with his taste buds. 🤭❤️ because it had a good bite to it! My major complaint I have is that the kitchen a/c unit was out. They had the kitched doors propped open so they wouldn't be so hot 🥵 I totally understand that and wouldn't want them to suffer in that kind of heat. But, it made the dining room very warm!😳😬 oh, and our table had no lighting at all! But the food and saitress were amazing! Thank you so much!“

“What a great local watering hole. It's not fancy, but the food is top-notch. The gravy biscuit is the best in town, along with their chili dogs and double cheeseburgers. I LOVE their unsweetened tea.
The folks behind the counter are terrific. They take good care of my hubby and me.“

“I love biscuit king!! Nobody can out-biscuit the king! They have the best biscuits! Sausage biscuit with mayo and pickles is my jam! And a tea. Always great food, normally the service is quick, and the people are friendly! I've been going to biscuit king for almost 40 years, and still love them!“

“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!!!“

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

“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“
