31 Best American Restaurants in Lexington

“Good food, all around really good food but.... for some reason they don't have sourdough toast. I ask for it every time, you'd think after 6 months of asking they'd figure out people really do like SOURDOUGH toast. That's my only complaint. Good portions and really good food.“

“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 waitress was extremely pleasant. I had a calzone with sausage and the thing was enormous! As big as my head! The atmosphere was friendly, but seemed a bit cramped. That smell of Italian food in the restraunt was fantastic! I highly recommend Libby's as a must try restraunt.Parking: Parking was confusing, park around back.Wheelchair accessibility: If you park in the back, yes. Don't park in front or you'll have to go around to the side. The front door stays locked.“

“We were promptly seated In the garden on a busy Friday evening. Our server er was a bit timid but overall good. But she failed to inform us of the daily specials, which was a bit disappointing. Great romantic atmosphere which we thoroughly enjoyed. I had the blackened reddish, while my sweetie ordered the 8 Oz sirloin.Vegetarian options: Salads and soups when availableParking: You can always try the church pking lot across the streetWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Never had a bad experience - quality food and quality people. Mind bendingly consistent with their food - hard to do for any restaurant - and they set the standard. Been dining w Groucho's for well over a decade. Keep it real in da field.“

“I was starving after spending 12 hrs in the ER, so I stopped in to get a 2 egg breakfast. Eboni was as nice as always and the food was delicious! I'll be back y'all!Parking: Their parking lot is a little bigger than normal. You can fit a couple big trucks in the back ( no trailer). Lots of parking for cars!“

“My family and I came here for the first time recently, and it did not disappoint! The wings were good, the kids enjoyed their food and I really enjoyed their butter chicken. The waitress was super friendly and attentive. I can't wait to go back and try more!“

“A local TikTok food reviewer suggested this restaurant and I am thankful he did. I tried the lobster ravioli and my friend had the chicken. Both our entrees were 10/10! The flavors were delicious, the restaurant atmosphere was elegant but not stuffy, and the staff and owner were extremely friendly and attentive. I will definitely go back!!“

“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.“

“We love Shealy's PDQ Too! The food is always fresh and I've never ordered anything there that I didn't like, Their cheeseburgers are phenomenal! The staff is very friendly, they are attentive and thoughtful. I would affectively call this a local hole in the wall. If you are looking for a luxury diner, this is not it. But if you're looking for a great meal, close to home, or along your drive, this is it.“

“Been looking for the best burger in town with an egg, and so far, the Brewpub Burger is the winner. Only way it could be a little better is if you could choose the cook temp, but still very good.The sweet potato fries were also a bigger winner. Haven’t gotten better sweet potatoes anywhere in the metro.Didn’t get a picture, but my son also really enjoyed his shrimp basket. This was our first visit, but we’re definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more things on the menu.“

“Absolutely the best breakfast spot around! We had THE best service ever! The BEST breakfast we've had in a long while, and it was such an affordable place to go with our 2 children!!Kid-friendliness: Extremely kid friendly with a very good menu for them, too!“

“I love mostly everything about this place. It's a true gem! My only problem was the smell of the bathroom. It wasn't stink, you just could tell it was the bathroom and I'm not a fan of smelling the bathroom around my food, lol! Im sure this can be adjusted based on where you sit in the restaurant. Outside of that, everything else was 5 star in my opinion. I found this place on yelp after searching for a place to celebrate my young child's birthday. I loved that it had kid friendly food as well as adult comfort meals. The food reminded me of diner food, something your Grandma would cook. Nothing too fancy, but they got options ranging from steak, fried or baked options, and veggie and gluten free options. We came in the middle of the week and at times, my child had the entire arcade to himself. He felt like a VIP especially since it was his birthday, lololol! $20.00 took us a long was in the arcade. I was tired, but of course my kids had a ball LOL! The staff singed "happy birthday" and gave a cookie with a candle in it. Super sweet! Thanks for making my child's birthday special!“

“Tried shrimp and grits omelette and shrimp and grits bowl on two separate occasions at Devine Street location. Both were good. Ordered online and picked up both times. Order was correct and hot. Good brunch spot. Similar to Another Broken Egg as far as the menu.Parking: I went on Sunday when the other businesses they share the parking lot with were closed so parking wasn’t an issue.“

“One of the best restaurants in the area. They have helped make Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner a painless process for my family for the past several years. The staff is great and always nice and professional. The food is beyond amazing.“

“We have been going here for years and Crystal and the gang have the best staff! The food is fast and hot and delicious. Best omelette anywhere hands down. The Texas Cheesesteak Bowl is the bomb! Ask for Crystal as your waitress - although they are all great!“

“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...“

“Overall, had a good experience here! We got sat quickly (Sunday night around 7) and the staff was friendly. You could tell our waitress was very busy and stressed but she was still very nice and thanked us for our patience throughout the night. My husband and I both got their bone in wings and they were very good! We really loved the ranch and wing flavors. I got the garlic parm wings. They did have a weird smell but tasted very good! I also really liked that they give you wet wipes to use after your meal. I wish more wing places did this. Good experience and would recommend checking this place out!“

“Service is good and food comes out out and delicious. Lots to choose from the menu. The Philly cheese steak sandwich and cheeseburger and wings are absolutely delicious. Best Philly I have had and I was just in Philadelphia and had a Philly that didn't taste near as good. Service is great and staff is helpful and friendly. Restaurant is clean throughout. Chicken wings are really good too. Everything is fresh and the cheeseburger is delicious. Everything we had was really good. Prices are reasonable with lunch specials and dinner specials.Vegetarian options: Not much to choose from for vegetarians.Dietary restrictions: Will cook to order.Parking: Strip mall and very busy.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available and kids mealsWheelchair accessibility: Plenty of room to move around inside“

“Omg.... The district manager Michael Duncan is one of the absolute greatest men I've ever met.... Wonderful person to work for... Such a kind and protective ❤️ heart... He's there for you as a guest and a manager.... He cares about his restaurants and he should most definitely have a higher position in the company.... They are very blessed to have him and I was very blessed to work for such an amazing King.... Thank you...“

“Play everything and my daughter and I add buttermilk chicken John had his with grits and gravy.tina and I had no grits.tina also had green beans and Mac cheese. I had collard greens and Mac cheese, mashed potatoes it always very good we will definitely go back That's what I call home cooking. Are waitress was Debbie she explained the menu she was very tentative“

“There's a reason they don't sing their jingle anymore. The fries were hot but the burger tasted like it had been from the day before. It wasn't even warm nor had it been put in the sandwich press to toast the bun. It was 11:00 AM so maybe they were still trying to use yesterday's food up. I miss fabulous food fast.“

“We are new to the area and wanted to have a breakfast date. Found Cafe Strudel on Google and I'm so glad we did. This place is heavenly. The service provided Ms. Cat was outstanding. The atmosphere was so welcoming, and the food...omgosh...the food was so good we hugged the chef before leaving?. This will definitely be our new go to place for breakfast! .“

“Food was exactly what I ask . Waitress was extra helpful and very tentative . I appreciate how hard and helpful the staff is there . Thanks ? . Tell them you know Billylicious and you want the Billylicious discount . Place was full , still got in and out . Staff here is awesome .. I ran into Billylicious .“

“Tried this place for the first and it was okay. The service was great and I loved the old timey feel to that place. I got the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy and cabbage. The chicken had good flavor to it but was a bit dry but the mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious. The cabbage was cooked well but it turns out I don’t like it when it’s cooked with ham hock (not a mark against lizard thicket since it’s a personal preference and not anything they did wrong). I didn’t try the rolls there but the cornbread muffin was very dry and dense. It felt like I was chewing on the muffin for 5 minutes before I finally washed it down with my drink.“

“The service here is amazing. I miss the decor of when this place was called Harbor Inn, as now it is a little too minimalist, but I do like the maps on the walls. The food was delicious and fresh. I ordered the broiled flounder and my fiancee had the Tuesday special of all-you-can eat crab legs. The food also arrived very promptly to our table.“

“I think once you are a regular at Waffle Houses, you have one that you favor more than the others. My girl and I found out yesterday this one isn't ours. Jacob was nice, and a good server, but it just didn't feel right. I do not mean it was like going to a McDonald's in a foreign country different, it just didn't feel right. It wasn't a bad experience, don't get me wrong. It still offers all the usual fare in its usual form.“

“Met a friend for lunch. This is my 3rd time eating here. While I'm not the most adventurous, I've had the burgers and the weekend buffet. It's all been great, fresh, and delicious. Prices are reasonable in this day and age and the service has always been great. Great fries.“

“Met some friends for some grub and drinks. Was pleasantly surprised by the food. As ya'll know, my betrothed and I prefer the authentic taquerias. This is not that, not supposed to be. Do they have some dishes that give off that taqueria vibe? A few. Would I go back? Yeah, we would. It's steps above the typical Mexican restaurants that folks around here are used to. Is it my first choice? No. So....if ya'll don't get into the taqueria scene, this would be a restaurant we would recommend. Beer is good and cold and the service was really good too. Try it. Out“

“I cannot express how much I love love LOVEEEEE Schooners!Not only my forever go to ; y’all’s wings & fries but literally everything I’ve had from there! 10/10 recommend✅Exceptional service!Owners/Staff - I just want you to know that EVERY single time I have called here to order food to-go I have received exceptionally friendly & helpful service.From start to finish I truly enjoy this establishment & hope to be able to for many years to come! Y’all are by far one of the best eatery’s around.Last but certainly not least i have to say with the most thanks for the consistency’s in all of the above mentioned.I would like to ask if maybe yall could somehow cover the fries with something or not use styrofoam boxes for the fries or burgers it makes them soggy and wear due to the heat…“

“My quartet goes here every Monday night after practice. Games on all the TVs, good food, and excellent, friendly, and fast service, make us bust out in song.Parking: It may be hard to find a parking spot on a busy night, but we show up with 4 vehicles. So there is that.“
