We made a reservation for diner only to arrive at a near empty restaurant and be offered a choice of not great table options, we settled on a booth that seats 8 - we were two people. Water was brought to the table in a bottle which was fine until I tasted it and it was so foul, plus our glassware was dirty. The server's helper explained that the bottle probably wasn't cleaned properly. What!!! It was replaced along with new glassware. When our meals arrived we discovered our cutlery was also dirty. My knife had dry caked on food and the handle of my fork was sticky. Our server was no where to be found so I had to wait to get it switched out. Both of our meals were a disappointment. My husband ordered the ribs and they were dry and flavourless. The end pieces of the rack were especially hard. The corn bread was also dry and bordering on stale. The one bright note was the potato salad which was tasty. I ordered a beet salad which I realize ordering a salad at a smokehouse was stupid. The salad consisted big chunks of beets, a tiny amount of microgreens which seemed to be mostly stems and some goat cheese. No dressing. It was apparently a new menu offering and I'd say it was a miss. Neither one of us could finish our meals. Maybe if the server had come by to check on us we could have resolved the kitchen disaster but she was never around. Eventually she showed up and we discussed our experience and she appeared to not believe us and went as far to say “well that's not our standard”. But really based on what we experienced I had a hard time believing her; from dirty dishes, to flavourless food and poor service I'm not sure what their standards are or how this place expects to stay in business. I will acknowledge that their selection of Craft beers is good and the decor is decent, too bad the food and service are not.

Brunch at Lexington Smokehouse was fantastic! The presentation of each meal was perfect and well crafted. Every bite was delicious! Highly recommend!

First time here and certainly did not disappoint. The code was great with early 90's soundtrack playing in the back ground, good and service were outstanding and value for money was great. Do yourself a favour and check this place out!

Dined here at recommendation ofvwifes coworker. Start to finish eveeything was fantastic. Our server, Mark, answered all our questions and made great suggestions. Food was delicious and well presented ; drinks were well crafted. Restaurant stepped up with an on-the-house dessert after the one my wife chose had run out. To top it off, my wife left her credit card on the table when we left and they recovered it and called us back right away. Major kudos Lexington, we will be back soon !!

The food was excellent according to the southern bbq theme. Service was very friendly and professional. The vibe was good. I enjoyed it and will go back again
Nice place with comfy booths. Beautiful bar. Very plentiful portions. Unfortunately, the execution just fell short: overcooked chicken, slightly under cooked biscuit, cubano was not well balanced and greens were wilted. We really wanted to like it but were underwhelmed. Maybe we shouldn’t have gone on a stat holiday?

We spent almost 3 hours there and completely forgot to take a photo :) We even changed our table from a standard one to a high-top, the waitress was so polite and nice.

We went for dinner for the first time to Lexington, and it will definitely not be our last visit! The food was delicious! We started off with appetizers (Brussel sprouts and deep-fried cauliflower… Both are a must try!), then ordered two platters, which was more than enough for four adults. We ordered the brisket, chicken, shrimp, and pulled pork. They were all great, but the shrimp was a very small portion for the extra $3 that is being charged. Everything was delicious and extremely flavorful. The cornbread was amazing, as well as the other sides. We ordered the mac & cheese, french fries, coleslaw, and potato salad. It was all incredible. Service was great. No complaints whatsoever!

I was excited to try this place because the atmosphere feels like a higher-end smokehouse, warm and inviting. The waiter was friendly and explained the menu well. The pork belly burnt ends had nice flavor, but most were just chunks of fat with very little meat. The brisket-stuffed jalapeño peppers were disappointing too based on the name, I expected actual brisket pieces, but instead, it was just cream cheese. When I asked, the staff said the brisket was blended into the cheese, which really isn’t clear from the menu. They should change the wording so guests know what to expect. On the brighter side, the Caesar salad was excellent—the large piece of chicken on top made it feel unique. I might give this place another try, but overall, it didn’t quite live up to what I hoped for.

This place is a gem with fantastic food and just AWESOME drinks. I’ve been coming here for a few years now and it’s been consistent all the way with the exception of the past 6 months during which the portions have decreased for some of the dishes (Brussel sprouts, pasta, fork knife chicken, etc) Brussel sprouts are delicious and well worth the price at the original size. Not as much with the new size. Still great spot but if you’re hungry, focus on the platters and not so much the appetizers.
