What a score! The food, the bourbon, the knowledge of the staff, and our favorite part - our server Cory. Everything was delicious. It was a little more casual than I was expecting for some reason. And don’t let it throw you that it’s on a shopping center. It was such a great experience.

MUST try bacon in a glass. Homemade biscuits are like your grandma made them. Had the crab cake omelet it was stuffed with fresh crab very filling couldn't eat it all. So delicious. My sons waffle was giant and was delicious. Wonderful fresh whipped cream butter and fruit on top. My husband said the steak and eggs were fantastic would definitely order again. Brunch was a great success!! Staff was very attentive and personable. You could tell they had fun on the job and it wasn't a standard script of sayings and greetings. Will definitely be back.

Our whole experience was amazing starting with our server, her name was Corey and she was incredible. Corey was able to explain the whole menu, suggestions, the over 700+ different bourbons including her favorites. The food was delicious, fried green tomatoes, halibut, everything!! It was our first time visiting the state/area… we are looking forward to coming back soon!

It's just not $200 good. Smoked macaroni and cheese was flavorless, the thai calamari was way too salty, and the salad with the pork loin was swimming in dressing. The actual meat of the braised short ribs and pork loin was very well done. We'll stick with Carson's for the spend.

The evening was great! Our waiter was excellent, and everyone's entree was delicious. One exception was the fried green tomatoes. Although I didn't taste one, the one who ordered them is not a fan of sour cream, especially warm. Not sure that was in fact what was on it but nevertheless was not a fan.

OBC Kitchen provides a phenomenal experience for the bourbon enthusiast and just for someone looking for a fine meal. We enjoyed several good pours and cocktails between the table and the bar. (Don't worry, we had an Uber each way). We also had a phenomenal meal. Service was great by everyone we encountered that evening. Can't speak highly enough about OBC Kitchen and we will be back!

We stopped here based on recommendations from Yelp, Open Table and web research. Absolutely loved this restaurant. The atmosphere, the service,the appetizers (especially the fried green tomatoes and bacon in a glass), the entrees and, oh yeah, the 700+ bourbon bottle selection, all made for an incredible night! Will definitely return next time we are in Lexington!
