Restaurants in Lexington

“If flavor had a love language, this place speaks it fluently. The brisket was so tender it practically introduced itself to my fork before melting in my mouth. Every bite was juicy, smoky, and packed with that “been-on-the-pit-all-day” kind of perfection. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone doesn’t even begin to cover it—they basically resigned from the bone without notice. Then came the chicken — tender, perfectly seasoned, with skin so crisp and flavorful it could have its own fan club. And the turkey breast? Absolute perfection. Moist (yes, moist in the best way), juicy, and smoky without being dry — the kind that makes you wonder why you ever settled for deli slices in your life. The sauce was bold but balanced, not drowning the meat, just giving it that perfect sweet-and-smoky hug. I left full, happy, and a little emotional. This isn’t just BBQ… it’s a spiritual experience with napkins.”

“Gardner Barbecue is one of our go to Saturday lunch options. The Brisket Elote bowl and pork belly bites are always consistently delicious and satisfying. You can always count on a fantastic meal no matter what you choose. 👍”

“Just happened to find this place on the map as we were driving home to Corpus Christi. So glad we stopped. I had grilled chicken salad, my lady had Mike's enchilada plate (3 different kinds of enchiladas). Food was very good, reasonable prices, nice mom and pop down home atmosphere. We recommend!”

“Such a relaxed atmosphere, and the coldest beer. A great way to end any day. Enjoyed it, with love from Namibia, Africa.”

“They were short handed a server, so it was a little slow. The food was worth the wait. My wife and I both had fajita omelets. Very tasty, fajita meat, peppers, and onions topped with white cheese. Beans and potatoes. This is our second time here and the food is delicious. If you're headed through Lexington, and you're hungry, you could do alot worse than this place. We'll stop by again in the future.”

“I wanna take the time to recognize one of your employees She’s from Dallas Angel or Angie I believe I can’t remember her name but I just wanna say she is the most Nicest, most respectable young lady I’ve ever met we were all having a bad day And we stopped by to get a sandwich to feed our little ones. She was so helpful and very patient. Her customer service is immaculate. It’s rare to find people like her in that type of workplace. You can tell she enjoys her job but for that Few minutes she made our day actually made our whole week. I just wanna thank her and tell her keep up the good work and whenever we are in town, we will stop by to say hello. She is what people need today in this world. And by the way, our food was amazing”

“The most delicious Apple Fritters I have eaten. Deeply golden, crunchy on the outside & plenty of apples on the moist inside. Will visit again to try other items, like lunch.”
