Southern Smoked Tavern & Steakhouse offers a trendy, spacious, and well-maintained atmosphere that impresses upon entry. The service is courteous and timely, with servers providing excellent drink and food recommendations. Highlights include the blackberry old fashioned, a robust bourbon list, and the must-try burnt end deviled eggs. Steaks, especially the rib-eye, are cooked to perfection, with a crispy exterior and perfectly seasoned medium rare interior. Many guests praise the steaks for being delicious and cooked exactly as ordered. Popular sides include the flavorful street corn with lime crema and fresh slaw. The mac and cheese, though not baked, has a unique and enjoyable flavor. The ribs, beans, and coleslaw are also highly recommended. Despite the higher price point, the quality justifies the cost. Don't miss out on the delicious Key Lime Pie for dessert. This spot is a gem in Lexington, perfect for a Sunday meal. Although some guests feel the atmosphere has shifted to a more elevated casual dining vibe, the service remains amazing.
