39 Best American Restaurants in Lexington

“Pimento Cheeseburger tasted delicious as always. French fries cooked to perfection.“

“Food was exceptionally good. My husband and I enjoyed our wine and the meal. Our server was very gracious and attentive. Our problem came when the bill arrived and a 18% gratuity was automatically charged. We pay tips in cash to our servers so they get them right away instead of being held for a week or two as so many places do. I requested to speak with MOD but she never came. We waited 15 minutes and upon leaving saw her out back smoking. Customers always came first for every restaurant, bar or business I worked for and with the quality of service the owner set up, that was what I expected. Very disappointing experience. BTW we tip 25-30% normally not 18, so don't put it on a check for 2 people. We had hoped to get the message to the owner for his consideration in this matter. Hopefully he reads reviews and this changes or my husband won't return.“

“This has been an amazing treat for us when we come to Lexington once a month now! Food is out of this world great and the owner is fantastic!“

“I like the sandwiches have fresh bread and are warm. The Cuban sandwich is good, I suggest to request the Dijon mustard for that cuban sub -if you like horseradish, but if there is the possibility to get a Virginia mustard will be perfect.I don't have pictures, I was hungry...“

“Always liked going to Flight deck. This time ordered cordon Bleu and was disappointed. It was four cut up pieces and looked like it was deep fried and for to long..did not enjoy it at all have gotten it there before and enjoyed it. Got a piece of raspberry lemon cheesecake..more cake than cheese will try different choices next time“

“I eat their weekly. Grew up eating Lizards Thicket. Started out at the one that used to be by the airport. I’ve eaten at all of them. They are all good. Love the breakfast. Love the specials. Love the staff. Would recommend anybody that has had a bad Experience. Don’t let that one time experience stop you from enjoying a lot more of good experiences there. Highly recommend them.!!!!👍“

“They have the best burgers ever because they’ve fresh and not greasy. The burgers are also a favorable size. Their fries are by far the best and have vinegar!!! They also have sweet and low for condiments! I always go out of there very happy!!!“

“This review is specifically for the newer Redbank location. We had a late night concert Monday night at the White Knoll High School PAC center and decided afterwards to go to this location. We weren't aware that they closed at 9pm until after we were leaving. Most of our party arrived at 8:15pm but we had some stragglers that arrived at 8:40pm. The entire staff was soooooooo incredible and accommodating, everyone helping each other get drinks, refills, bread and food out soooooooo quickly. Not one time did we ever feel "rushed" or "hovered" over to "hurry up." Instead they just let us enjoy our dining experience! The food was fantastic, even at the end of the shift, it was still all so fresh and delicious! I think we wrapped up our bills at 9:30pm. We all thanked the servers and all the management staff for allowing us to stay and enjoy our meal and we humbly apologized to them honestly not knowing the time they closed. The manager reassured us it was no problem at all and asked us if we enjoyed everything, food, service and all. We enthusiastically replied YES! I just wanted to specifically shout out to the store and staff how wonderful our dining experience was. I'm sorry for posting a few days afterwards, but please know your team was phenomenal and it didn't go unnoticed. Ty so very much again!“

“We've been celebrating our first 2003 meeting at Outback for the last few years. Since Lexington just recently opened, no more Harbison. As usual, we snagged 2 bar seats. Drink orders were taken and promptly delivered. After a couple of drinks, we ordered food. My wife got her usual Alice Springs Chicken. I switched from my usual steak to the Ribeye. I'll probably stick with the Victoria Filet or Outbreak Prime Rib from now on. The Ribeye was perfectly cooked but ultra fatty and way over-seasoned. You could go across the street to Food Lion and find a better quality Ribeye. Definitely not worth the $28 cost. The Chicken was spot on. Cold, fresh Foster's. Overall good bar service but the 2 servers could be more attentive on drink refills. My beer glass sat empty for close to 10 minutes and no one asked. Little things like that mean a lot to the customer as well as size of the final restaurant tab. Overall good first visit.

It's been about 6 weeks since our initial visit. We celebrated my wife's birthday at the bar. She had a Koala Punch. The drink service has improved. Still a very friendly staff. The currently offered 3 Cheers Meals are an outstanding value. For $23, I had the 8oz. Sirloin with baked potato, salad, and the Chocolate Thunder for desert. Believe me, it's worth the $3 upcharge over the included cheesecake...Chocolate Heaven.

10/25 update...we celebrated our 20th anniversary of our engagement. I had⁹ a large Flo's Filet medium rare with baked potato and broccoli. Perfectly cooked. My wife had the $14.99 Grilled Chicken meal with Caesar salad, broccoli, and Raspberry Cheesecake. Awesome service at the bar, as always.“

“My sister and I stopped in for lunch. We had a short wait to get a table, but there were a few places to sit while you wait. Our waitress was really nice. She gave excellent service. Our food was prepared nicely and was very good. We both enjoyed a Mimosa. Although I think there could gave been a little more alcohol in it, it still tasted good. We will definitely go again and try some of the other delicious looking items on their menu.“

“Had the best dinner ribs dry rub were absolutely delicious. 8 oz Sirlion done correctly and tender. Server was this young lady Jade C. She was spot on. Prompt friendly, knowledgeable of the menu . My friend and I were two needy customers wanting extra sides and to go orders. Lots of extras for just two people. She went out of her way to accommodate everything we needed and asked for. Thanks to her for making our dinner fun and enjoyable. Girls weekend getaway 11/15/24“

“Took my Hubby here for his Birthday , because he wanted Spicy Mango Haberno for his Friday Supper BD. We already had Prime Rib and did the Burger thing earlier in the week. He said these were better than Ale House which was his fave, and hotter. He also did Garlic Parmesean. I got the Carolina Dip,and Onion Rings. Can I say Buffalo Portions at Hummingbird Prices, we were shocked at how inexpensive it was. I loved the Sports Bar Atmosphere. We will definitely be bk. Thanks for Being a Awesome Eating Establishment with" Big Behind" Portions, because we had leftovers.“

“My husband and I made a stop at Keg Cowboy on Saturday. It was our first time there. Sat at the bar, Charlie with a big smile introduced himself. My husband had a tasty cider beer. We shared the beef panini, which was was incredible. Keg was exactly the type of place we have been looking for. Thanks Kelsey for the recommendation ?“

“The food and service was AMAZING!!“

“First time ordering and their chicken salad is so fresh and delicious! Got it on toasted rye with lettuce and tomato and added provolone. 👌 it did not come with a pickle which would have been nice. I also tried the potato salad, it was good but just not my favorite.
Will definitely be ordering again!“

“Kurt always has good food. It's good country cooking so if you're wanting something fancy, it's not for you but this Lexington gal and husband frequent a couple of times a month and it is ALWAYS consistent and ALMOST as good as mine!!!“

“went to this place tuesday afternoon after finding out about it on a site called only in your state. the place was busy but only had a short wait for a table & this was around lunch time. the entire staff was absolutely amazing as was the food that we ordered. waitress checked back in with us several times as well as the manager. its overall a fantastic place i will be going back as well as recommending it to everyone i know.“

“Decent food, good service and a nice locals place. In my opinion, the recent remodel sadly turned it from having the feeling of a cool corner bar with a slightly rough-arpund-the-edges appearance, but still a super welcoming place, into a church bingo hall.“

“Love their pimento cheeseburger!!“

“Service is excellent and the food is great. Very reasonably priced.“

“Great service and food. Friendly staff.“

“service was great, atmosphere was cheerful and friendly. it's Christmas day. food was very good“

“This past weekend my grandson ordered the chicken finger basket. The breading was different then before as it tasted like a seafood breading very light and cripy and heavily seasoned. (had a seafood seasoning flavor)..not good and unedible.
. all of the other food we ordered was ery good. Though the service was slow on the back deck we were not in a hurry.
See you next time!“

“Great breakfast but bring back the country ham.“

“Kayla D was a great waitress. She has a genuine people pleasing attitude. We go there weekly and we always ask to be seated at a table she is serving. I recommend this resturant to anyone interested in good food and service.

“I'm starting at this waffle house the staff is great, I've always had great food here. Training managers are awesome. I highly recommend coming to check out this store“

“Just tried Blaneys Wings for the 1st time (through door dash) and was very happy with them. Nice sized pieces of fresh boneless chicken. I got the medium flavor and it was very good except they barely put any sauce on them & the side of ranch dipping sauce was extremely small for the amount of chicken. I did really like their fries a lot too. The chicken was delicious though and the amount of food was great for the price. We will definitely try again.“

“I visited your establishment for the first time today. I had the Twisted Root Salad with the grilled chicken. It was really good! Our waitress was Reagan. She was very attentive, sweet and I enjoyed talking with her. We will be back.“

“We had the pleasure of stopping at The Root Cellar in Batesburg for lunch today, and wow—what an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for what turned out to be an outstanding meal. My wife ordered the grilled pork chops with three vegetables, while I went with a classic hamburger and fries. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the food arrived hot and fresh with barely any wait time. The attention to detail in both the preparation and presentation was evident. Our server, Janice, was an absolute delight—greeted us with a smile and was full of great recommendations to help us choose the perfect meal. Her friendly, attentive service made the experience even better. If you’re anywhere near Batesburg, The Root Cellar is a must-visit. Outstanding food, top-notch service, and a welcoming atmosphere—highly recommended!“

“fantastic all around very much recommended“

“This is my second time. Had the Birria quesadilla and tacos. They are amazing. The first time I had a burrito. It was so good!“

“My favorite seafood place in North Myrtle Beach! Great food, friendly folks!“

“Not only is this a great go to place for comfort food, but the greeting is outstanding. The warm welcome was on point, nice and in sync so much that it felt like the entire restaurant was greeting us. Lol. You definitely can’t help but smile. The food was good and, if I remember correctly, Margaret was our server. She was amazing and very attentive. Well done, everyone!“

“Buffalo chicken wrap with delicious Bleu cheese and cooked to order wing chips. Cold beer, too. Cheeseburger was good too“

“Excellent as always wherever you go! Restaurant was super clean and staff truly wonderful! Susie did a great job even though it was being slammed with walk ins and food came in minutes and my grandkids wiped out all! 5 stars!“

“Taylor was an excellent waitress tonight, friendly, courteous. Food was hot when brought out. We really enjoy the restaurant.“

“The food was great, but service was a little slow. When you’re serving more than 1 person in a party, the food should come at the same time (unless it’s a HUGE party, of course). Nonetheless, It was just two of us and our meals were served 15 minutes apart. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and I was a little disappointed.“

“We had a great dining experience. All was good. Will come back.we“
