   One of the best brunches in Lexington. I highly recommend it.

   The food was just ok. My husband and I stopped in on our way out of town for a quick breakfast. I had the breakfast with eggs, sausage, and half a waffle. The waffle was light and fluffy and delicious. The eggs, which I ordered to have a runny yolk and cooked whites, were overcooked on the edges and the whites still raw in the center. The sausage did not have good flavor and was tough. My husband had biscuits and gravy and left most on his plate, as he said the gravy had no flavor. Next time, we’ll skip this stop.

   Had reservations for a Saturday night at 7:30. Showed up 7:15 and they were closing down. Never got to eat. Had to go to Sedona Taproom instead.

   So the food is really good and the owner came to our table because the kitchen was running behind which delayed our order. She was extremely nice and apologetic. We weren’t in a hurry so it was fine and the food was very good. We like this place. Brunch is probably our favourite there.

   I ordered the fish sandwich. I could have gotten a bigger piece of fish at McDonalds. It wasn’t even crispy so I’m assuming I paid $14.95 for a piece of frozen fish that was cooked it the wrong temperature oil. Service was good considering how busy it was. The food was awful.

    They were shocked when we said table for 5, even though we made the reservation for 5 people. It was Christmas Eve morning, so I’m sure none of the employees really wanted to be there, but none acted like they were happy to see us. The French toast was barely cooked. A hot cider bourbon was ordered and we had to ask for it and it finally came out about 15 minutes later. A gentleman stood in the doorway that led to the restroom talking to employees. We had to almost squeeze past him before he moved out of the way. That happened 3 different times. Service was just meh. Not sure if we will be going back there.

    A hidden gem. Tried for the first time for an early weekday dinner. The Kentucky Philly sandwich was excellent and large. The home fries were very good and the portion was generous. My wife tried the pork chop special with mashed potatoes (real ones!) The pork chop could have used a little seasoning, but was tender. We shared a piece of strawberry cake for dessert. The slice of cake was generous and the flavor was outstanding. The service was very friendly and prompt. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience and plan to come back again.

    It was our first time to Lexington Diner. I had heard great things about it, so my husband and I gave it a try. We went at 4 pm on Saturday and no other patrons were there. I tried the evening special, Game-day hamburger. My husband got the grilled cheese and soup. He’s was fine, but it’s hard to mess up slice bread with melted cheese. My hamburger was burnt, so crispy that I struggled to swallow that first bite. I asked for another hamburger that wasn’t so black and dry. While I waited, my husband ate. He was done before the new burger was brought out. I had lost my appetite by then. I’m sorry to say, we won’t be back. I had such high hopes. 🫤

    We’ve loved Lexington Diner for years. We made a reservation thinking that would make things quick and easy with a toddler. It took about and hour and a half to get our food. It would have been more palatable if the servers had come by and reassured us that they hadn’t forgotten about us and that our food was coming but they didn’t. When we asked an hour in if they knew when we might get food they acted like we had just ordered 5 minutes before and were being unreasonable wondering. Highly disappointing. Luckily the food was good and somewhat warm.

    Food was good and experience good. But don’t expect to be able to get a Mimosa or any brunch alcoholic drink before 11:00am, at least not on a Sunday. Despite them being on the brunch menu they don’t serve them, per their ‘rules’, until after 11:00 according to our waitress. Was pretty frustrating.

    First visit to this location. Good food. Good service (Whitley). Good vibe. And they have a full-service bar. The chicken and waffles were good. Mimosa - good way to start the day with your vitamin C. Glad we made an Open Table reservation as there was waitlist for a table (Saturday morning)>

    First time and it was wonderful. Food was delicious and service was outstanding. We were there for "$7 burger night," but were intrigued by many other items on the menu. And, BREAKFAST--so good to know...way too few options for breakfast food. We make a diligent effort to support LOCAL restaurants and very happy to add Lex Diner to our list of favorites.

    Great food and fabulous sliced strawberry cake at a fair price. Busy bar and dining room on a Wednesday. Arrived ahead of our reserved time slot and there was still a long wait for our reserved seating time. Not offered alternate seating options except to wait at line of tight seats against the wall behind the busy bar. The trivia game being hosted on site kept us entertained during the long wait for food. We appreciated the ample walking space between tables and the kindness of the host to help reserve the sliced cake! Loved the onion rings and the chipolte aioli.

    We had a reservation, so we sat down quickly. The food took a little longer than expected, but ended up being worth the wait. I was expecting the restaurant to be more upscale as the food offerings seemed more unique, but it was still clean and quiet. Nice place to eat. Would go back if my family wanted to.

    I had high expectations of this place after reading reviews. We took my daughter and a group here for UK family weekend. Our server was very friendly and did a fantastic job staying on top of things. But unfortunately, I don't think we will be going back. I got a chicken peanut salad. The lettuce was wilted and the peanuts were basically a jar of peanuts dumped on top. Others said they didn't mind their dinner, but it wasn't anything special. I was looking for somewhere fun to experience for our first dinner in Lexington. It took us 15 minutes driving from campus to get there and by the time we left the restaurant at 9:20 (not realizing they closed at 9), we were the only ones there and the staff was staring at us clearing wondering why we were there so long.
