Lexington Burger Week Review…read more Southern Peach & Pimento Burger - BRU Burger Score: 6.1/10 This one just wasn't my favorite. The burger had good flavor, but the patty seemed much smaller than the advertised 7 ounces. The brioche bun was huge in comparison, which made the burger feel a little unbalanced. The peach-bacon jam and pickled green tomato worked surprisingly well together, but I could barely taste the house-made pimento cheese. It wasn't a bad burger by any means--just one that didn't quite live up to my expectations. Really do enjoy the staff and food here.

The pickled green tomato was a perfect topping to cut through the heaviness of the bacon jam and pimento cheese. The burger itself was decent size also and wasn't too overpowered by the toppings. The ketchup that came with the fries was one of my favorites and almost tasted like a mix of ketchup and fresh salsa. Pickup was super quick and easy! If the green tomato was thicker it would've made the burger even better

The chorizo biscuits and gravy revolutionized how I approach gravy at home when I make it.

Eggs were perfect, potatoes crispy, and muffin the perfect ending. The apple dish was the one thing I wasn't a fan of this time - far too middle American sweet, in my opinion, it needs far more apples (slightly less baked), far more crumble, and far less of the syrup and whipped cream. I ended up just taking the apples and crumble and eating it with the muffin. Service is always quick and great, seating perfect for breakfast.

But the food was so good! I had been there once before, shortly after opening, and thought it was so-so. But the 2nd visit was a much better experience. Since we had a large group, we sampled each other's dishes and everything was delicious. The burrata appetizer was really good. I had the "make me something sweet" mocktail and it was pretty and tasted refreshing. Our server was top notch and explained every dish on the menu, and gave us recommendations. He really took his time with us, and you could tell he was a pro. More excited to return after this second visit than after the first! 11/26

For our appetizer, we had the beef tartare, it was also just okay. We didn't even finish half of it. The star of the dish was the rye crisp, unfortunately. For our entree we had the baked rigatoni and the pork tenderloin. The pork tenderloin dish was delicious and so was the rigatoni. That was a plus. It was extremely loud in the restaurant. Be prepared to yell at your table partner. Between the amount of people talking loudly (I assume to attempt to talk over the loud music) and the music, and being seated really near other people, having a conversation was difficult. So don't go with anyone who is hard of hearing with background noise (my husband lol). Food took a little longer than what I'd prefer to come out. The restaurant itself had a great vibe and decorations were cute.

I appreciate the minis because it does allow portion control for me. My friend got the sausage and egg biscuit. I'm not sure if they put some kind of jam on it but she said it was sweet. I also tasted it and the sausage was on the sweet side (I liked it but she didn't). Other then that she said the rest was good after she removed the sausage patty. So summer months you can expect one employee as they adjust man hours to meet the foot traffic of the store. Apparently its not as busy when the students are gone for summer break.

Given its proximity to our hotel, we decided to dine at this café. The culinary offerings were exceptional; we ordered pancakes, avocado toast, breakfast potato, French omélette, and coffee. The pancakes and breakfast potato were particularly noteworthy, representing the best of their kind I have ever tasted. However, the service was somewhat tardy, likely attributable to our hunger. The ambiance was characterized by a relaxed and casual atmosphere. read more

Stopped by for a quick morning bite and found the place buzzing. Even though it was busy, the host was incredible--he kept a sharp eye on the floor and managed to get us seated in 3 minutes instead of the estimated 15! The staff gave excellent recommendations, and the coffee was top-tier. The food was unique and flavorful, the decor was charming, and even the bathrooms were nice and clean.
