What a great little breakfast place! Had a delicious breakfast there and loved the outside seating. Lots of good vegetarian options, although I didn't see anything vegan. Coffee was good and plentiful (you can refill yourself). I'm definitely bringing out of town friends here. Update: still my favorite breakfast place.
My first time coming! Moved to Lexington this weekend and thought, why not try something new? I was extremely pleased with my choice. My Dad and I both got the Corned Beef and Hash. It was excellent. We also split an order of the beingets. They were delicious! There was also some great mysic playing in the background. I look forward to going back again.
So glad we walked here for breakfast. Everyone was friendly. You order at the counter, then take a seat. I got beignets, biscuits and gravy, and my husband got the BELT. Cheese grits did not disappoint.
Cozy little place with yummy food and good service. Order was made exactly as requested and the sausage gravy was my favorite. The pancakes were very good. I love cheese grits and this place did not disappoint.
Awesome place for breakfast. Very unique and delicious food. Biscuits & Gravy is everything you would expect. The beignets were scrumptious! We sat, we ate and we laughed forever without feeling pressured that we had to leave. Love this place ❤️
We cannot express enough how wonderful and excellent our first visit to this Lexington mom and pops iconic restaurant was! The atmosphere was buzzing, lots of folks coming in and going out, the staff friendly, efficient and seemingly truly enjoying their jobs. We sat outside and it was delightful! Our food came out very quickly, it was presented perfectly, huge ample portions and the taste was superior, hot and fresh. This was extremely quality food. Our server was proficient, quick , energetic and very amicable. We couldn't be more pleased with this wonderful eatery and it has become for us a definite return place for us to eat. What a wonderful experience, well DONE, ‼️ The only very minor suggestion is we felt the indoor music was way too loud which was a bit too excessive for a breakfast/lunch crowd.
Great little place! Old gas station turned into cute little restaurant! Order at the counter, take a number and sit down to be served. Plenty of parking! Great menu and all food was cooked to order, came out quick, fresh & hot! Very clean and cool atmosphere. In our group, We had shrimp & grits with biscuit, sausage gravy & biscuits, BLT, pancakes & omelets. All of the food was delicious! The biscuit was buttered and grilled on the flat top, it was delicious! Staff was friendly & second was great! Plenty of parking in private lot and street parking! Bathroom is outside (it’s an old gas station), but very nice & clean!
We had carry out on Sunday cause on Saturday the place was soooo packed we figured we better just order and pick up. The omelet was small but the taste was huge. The shrimp and grits well just say I'll be driving back down to Lexington to sit in and enjoy.
Fabulous. Delicious. Homestyle. What more could you want? We've never been here before but stopped by because of a recommendation - I'm glad we did! Biscuits and gravy is sublime. Even though the gravy is going to give me a gastro intestinal nightmare (I'm lacked toast and toddler ants) it's so delish' that I may even get seconds 🤔 Eggs are cooked well. Grits are savory and scrumptious. The beignet is soft, moist, and clearly the best alternative to a traditional donut.
I wasn’t explicit enough with my order. I wanted a grilled cheese with a fried egg on it. But I got an omelette on dry toast. My son got the Johnny cake breakfast and loved it. If I had taken more time with my order and made sure it was understood I think it would’ve been great so I will go back. It is a very cool place to meet someone for brunch. Indoor seating, outdoor patio. Old style gas station renovation, where you have to go outside for the bathrooms.
