“Speedy's is the quintessential purveyor of genuine Lexington pork BBQ. In business since 1963, Speedy's serves up arguably the best BBQ you've ever had. Sides like a fabulous cole slaw, baked beans and OMG delicious hush puppies are also on the menu.

This iconic restaurant is not to be missed if your travels bring you within 100 miles of this place. Don't even think about it, just go there and experience this unique Lexington mainstay. On my list of the top ten foods of all time. Awesome vibes.“

“Wonderful. Food service and dining room. Will definitely be coming here more often. Got white fish this time and highly recommend“

“food was delicious service was completely 👌 on point“

“Love places like this when we are going thru small towns. Kearney did not disappoint. Fun talk with the staff and it was fun when we told them we were rookies. If you are in the area of Lexington you are missing out if you don’t look it up. The pimento cheese burger is the best I’ve had. The 1/2 pound option was my choice however you can have the 1lb option.“

“Awesome place! Awesome food“

“This place is perfect - the atmosphere and employees make it 100 stars if I could. Went there for the first time and blown away by how friendly everyone there is, and I had kids running around and being indecisive but the staff kept smiles on their face and amazing attitude the entire time. The service alone makes us want to come back and we will probably start coming regularly!“

“Excellent food and Great Service“

“Just happened to drop in to Randys on a roadtrip today - what a great find. Incredibly diverse menu, and everything we had was excellent, very affordable. Teamwork-type service meant that we never had to wait for anything. Great country cooking. Going to seek this place out on future trips.“

“We had the best dinner at Outback Salisbury. This our favorite restaurant. Our server, Rachel, was very attentive and courteous. Had a wonderful Valentine dinner with my husband.“

“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.“

“Fast and Friendly service. Our dinner for two ribeye steak dinner was amazing. The steak was perfectly cooked to med-rare. The cheesecake was spectacular. The little robot brought over our dinner for the waitress, who then placed our plates on the table.“

“I find this place to be just great.. the seafood is the best I ever had.. very friendly staff, good prices.. just be hungry when you go, these folks really fill your plate full...I have no complains what soever...“

“I pulled in and parking lot was full which was a good sign. Went right in and sat ourselves. Great value for the money. Fed 4 people, good sized portions for less than 35.00 which is huge. Bathroom was clean, food was quick and delicious and the service was fast and friendly. Great stop over off the interstate if you are travelling through and need lunch.

Red slaw was a good local favorite. Just fyi, bread for BBQ platter are buns. Not sure why but I thought it might be toast or something else. Just may need to clarify and say buns.“

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

“We had actually eaten dinner somewhere else tonight, but decided we weren’t quite ready to head home. A quick Google search for lava cake brought us to this location, and I’m so glad it did.

From the moment we walked through the door, Lex greeted us like we were old friends. She spoke to my 3- and 5-year-old daughters as if they were the most important guests in the restaurant, and they absolutely loved it.

The service was exceptional—attentive without ever feeling overbearing. Every interaction felt genuine.

As we were getting ready to leave, my 3-year-old asked if she could have one of the little drink umbrellas. Lex searched everywhere she could but couldn’t find one. My daughters thanked her for trying, and we started to walk out.

That’s when Cooper stepped in and made sure the girls didn’t leave empty-handed.

Every member of the staff we encountered showed us genuine kindness. They all went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful experience, and we truly felt it.

The truth is, you never know what someone is carrying. They didn’t know me or my family. My daughters have been through a lot over the past couple of months, and my grandmother is struggling to maintain her independence. I’m doing my best to hold everything together for the people I love.

What might have seemed like small acts of kindness to your staff meant far more than they’ll ever know to us.

Thank you, Lex, Cooper, and everyone else who made our evening so special. We’ll remember your kindness long after we’ve forgotten the dessert!“

“Ate there yesterday and the food was really good“

“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“

“My best friend and I have been going here on a weekly basis for several years now and we love this place! Love the wings, always fresh and good portions and staff always on point!“

“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!“

“This was our first time here. Our cashier is believe her name was Laura H is an absolute sweetheart!! She asked if I wanted a drink and I told her I couldn't because of stomach surgery and she was like oh let me get you a cup of water at least and to me that was just the nicest thing she showed she cares about her customers!! Good job Laura H hope your manager see this and acknowledges you 😊 oh btw that was a good omelet“

“Post-church we decided to have a late breakfast and drove out to Cagney’s in Granite Quarry. The restaurant focuses primarily on southern fare and we watched a lot of really good looking plates passing by us as we waited for our food. Our table enjoyed eggs prepared a variety of ways, shredded hash browns, cubed potatoes, grits, bacon, turkey sausage, regular sausage, biscuits, and wheat toast. Everything was really good and our waitress did a nice job. The dining area is comfortable, the menu is expansive and they have specials everyday. While we did not get desserts, they have a variety of cakes that looked amazing. Next time!“

“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“

“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 recommend the waitress Monica Barrera at the IHOP in Panorama City Calif as she gives such great and wonderful service. She asks if everything is ok and always comes back to give refills. This is much appreciated. Best wishes from the original Johnny Blaze, and "may the Blaze be with you."“
