Came to the Note in downtown Lexington today! Best food within 50 miles. Amazing service, cozy ambiance, and excellent service!

We ordered the Banh-Mi and Carolina Hotdogs. Both had absolutely delicious flavors on great buns, the hotdogs themselves are very meaty and cut into a spiral which we thought helped the flavor and keep some of the toppings on the bun as opposed to in the boxes. We also ordered the garlic parmesan tater tots which were absolutely delicious, especially if you like garlic because they do not skimp on that. The craft soda was a good balance of sweet and flavor without becoming too artificial tasting, the brand is "United Sodas of America".We also loved the little note that was attached to the receipt on the bag. It was such a nice little touch that helps play into the name of the little joint.The atmosphere was pretty great, especially for a 60° day in the middle of February. The outside patio has 2 gas fire pits to sit around with a group of friends, and there's a little turf addition beside that with some more lounging seats.All in all we loved the food and time we spent there and would recommend it to everyone to try when they are in town, whether for the Race track or just driving through.Wheelchair accessibility: Everything outside is easy to get to, the turf addition does have a step down. The sidewalk around the building is a bit slim so some wheelchairs may have some difficulty, but they are attached to the city sidewalk so that can be an alternative to get to the patio as well.

We had our first visit at this cute speakeasy concept this weekend. Our waitress was rather new and made us feel very comfortable during our visit. The drinks were upscale with amazing ingredients. The decor and aesthetic are truly breathtaking. Thank you to our server for enhancing our experience and being so very sweet to us!

Very good hot dogs and toppings. The Garlic Parm tator tots were awesome and one order was plenty for me and my hubby to share. Good Birthday dinner (I love hot dogs, no laughing).

We had a lovely time at the note. Our food was tasty, service was sweet and the drinks were fabulous. It is a very intimate cocktail lounge with limited seating but we knew that going in. We bundled up and enjoyed a second drink on the patio next to the fire.

First off, love what they’ve done with the place! Atmosphere is great and cozy. I usually walk up instead of doing drive through, and the fire that’s outside helps keep one cozy when it’s cold and they’re waiting for an order. I haven’t seen the inside yet.In terms of food, I’ve gotten a hot dog and a sandwich. I believe the hot dog was called a corny dog. The flavor was great, but the hot dog and bun were hard. I got tater tots with them and those tasted great, plus there was a good amount. As for the meat sandwich (not sure the official name), the bread was hard again for that, and the sandwich tasted a bit bitter? Not sure if that was me or one of the ingredients.But the service from the employees both times I have been there has been awesome. They’re nice and do their best to make sure you’re able to get what you want. I’d visit again as I feel they’re still adding to the menu and adjusting as they go since they’ve only recently opened. My only hope is that the food isn’t hard, but like I said I’m sure it’ll improve! Cant wait to see what’s coming next.

New concept for the local area. Food was good but limited. Very small space for a nice quick bite and drink. The room fits less than 10 people. Would like to see some separation between the hot dog stand type out side and the"speakeasy" inside. The drinks were good.Kid-friendliness: Out is kid friendly. The inside is 18+ speakeasy.

The food does not match the the concept. Quarter pound hotdogs and cocktails...classy? The salad was served in disposable plastic to-go containers. Only received a fork, no napkin, asked for napkin and a knife to cut the chicken breast in my salad and received A napkin. Homemade salad dressing but they were out of the one I wanted. We felt like we couldn't talk, since another table of 4 arrived, (and squeezed in around their tiny table) and were sitting so close. I don't plan on returning.

Too complicated to get in. We tried 3 times to visit before we actually succeeded. Too small and crowded. You are sitting on top of the table next to you while eating a hot dog. Very limited drink and food menu, and cocktails were not very good. I love the idea, here and with some changes this could be something very cool. I want to see this business succeed. But there needs to be some major changes.
It is difficult to tell if they are open from the road. You walk up to the window on the front of the building to place your order. They had music playing and the fires were lit so we could tell that they were there once we started to approach. I got the chili cheese dog and my husband got the Bahn Mi dog. We split an order of garlic parmesan tater tots. It was all delicious. The woman who took our order was very welcoming and friendly. Order food came out in a brown paper bag with a cute handwritten note on it. We sat outside to eat, I think that is the only option so far (it is currently September 2023) but that is supposed to change soon. The two seating areas were very cute. It was a pleasant place to sit and eat. Located on US Route 42 just north of the State Route 546 in Lexington, catty corner across from Nickel & Bean. There is of parking in the rear of the note.Parking: Plenty of parking, paved lot.
