    The Super B

    New location! Same great burgers and THE ONION RINGS ARE BACK!!! Best Onion Rings i have ever put in my mouth and i have been all over the country! I am sad that there is presently no chicken. But the burgers are GREAT!!! It's absolutely the best Burger in the state. Oh but those ONION RINGS!!!! Flakey, well prepared and perfectly cooked and that beer batter recipe is OUT OF THIS WORLD! And the service is awesome! The people there are SO friendly. They are really proud of their product. And they are proud to work there. And such sweet smiles.

    Good food. The Hamburger was meaty and enough to satisfy my needs. It was juicy but not greasy . I will be back

    Vfw going out of business? Grandmas basement? Dirty, and extremely depressing atmosphere. Feb 2024.

    We came to eat here on our first night in Lexington. When walking in I instantly felt the excitement of being in a new city and about to eat the "best burger in Lexington" get sucked out of me. The atmosphere is so very depressing. It's a mix between a dusty-ass VFW bar going out of business and grandma's basement. You're not in a basement but it feels like you are. While I was still optimistic that this just may be a crappy location with amazing food- That's where things got worse. No alcohol. Hmmmm you're a restaurant open for dinner that decided not to even have a cooler of canned beer? Weird and disappointing choice. The worst part about this place is the food- believe it or not. I specifically asked if I could choose the temp of my burger. She said the default was medium-rare but that we could choose. I said "great, I wanted it medium-rare". My med-rare cheese burger came out without cheese. Annoying- but I ordered tots too so I figured I'd eat the tots while i waited for the burger to be either remade or the cheese melted onto it. I brought my basket up and asked for another basket to dump the tots into so I could eat them while they fixed their mistake- and instead she hands me an ice cold piece of cheese. Not a good start. Then I bit into my medium rare burger. The meat was practically dust it was so dry and overcooked. It was completely cooked through the entire burger even in the dead center of the burger. They make ONE thing..... burgers. I should have mentioned there was one other table eating while we were there. They were not busy. I apparently ordered their standard item. They should be banging out medium rare patties all day. They should be embarrassed at how the burger was cooked and served to me. I wouldn't come back to this place if it were the last place in Lexington. They need to drop "wolf" from their name- just Bad Burgers coming out of that place. Avoid at all costs.

    I came across this location by accident. Hands down the best service I've seen in a while. The host was courteous and very helpful. The burger was juicy and well seasoned...cooked to perfection. I will visit again to try other menu offerings.

    What a great find this place ended up being. Before we even ordered, other patrons were raving about how good everything on the menu was! I listen to the locals bc they just know .... most times. Ok, so this is a husband and wife owned & operated business. The husband was extremely nice and even offered a photo suggestion while I was photographing my food to post for you all. That was cool! I told him that I was going to post a review on Yelp of my experience. Of course ...bc that's what Yelpers do! What a great burger joint , guys ! There were several options I was torn between but I kept it simple by ordering a hamburger and a side of fries. My thought was the hamburger would be a true test of whether or not the burger was any good. Guess what ? The burger was amazing from start to finish! The beef was a good grade and was so extremely flavorful. Fresh ingredients -lettuce , tomato (kinda on the small side, onions and pickles. All between a beautiful bun , lightly toasted. Sadly , they left off my mustard I requested - burger was still perfection! I can't forget about the fries! I love fries and these earned my love right away! Hand cut and fresh out the grease! What's not to love. Amazing! Great portion size. The staff was patient with us "out of towners" and nice throughout the ordering process. Their menu was super easy to read with descriptions and prices. Although we didn't dine in , the inside was very warm and inviting - decorated nicely. There's a drive thru too. I'm so glad my sister found this gem of a place. Definitely one of the BEST burgers I've had and that's saying a lot. I see why BWB was voted best burger ..... well deserved!! We really enjoyed our food!

    Visited here from out of town, did not know they had vegetarian options! I would've totally tried that. Didn't get to look at the menu right away, someone else ordered for my friend and I. The food was good but their hot sauce was my favorite part of dining! They didn't have staff serve us, just to drop off our food. Seemed more of a self serving type of place. Overall good experience! Will be back to try their vegan options.

    Barbeque Burger Tater Tots with Beer Cheese
    John S.

    On our most recent annual visit to Lexington, we decided burgers should be on the agenda for one of our meals. I had bookmarked this location last year when deciding on restaurants. I chose the Barbeque Burger with bacon, aged cheddar cheese, spicy BBQ, fried onion straws; a side of Tater Tots with Beer Cheese (added for $1). My daughter went with the Cheeseburger with a Veggie Patty ($1 extra) and a side of fries. It took slightly longer than expected for the food to arrive. But with freshly prepared burgers a slight wait is ok but prepare accordingly if time is a concern. I had asked for the beer cheese on the side but it was liberally poured all over the tots. This was disappointing because I didn't care for it as much as other versions. The burger however was really good. My daughter liked her veggie burger and said it's taste was similar to veggie sticks that used to get at school. Overall we agreed would possibly return on future trips.
