For me it didn't hit the spot because it's just too many flavors fighting against each other instead of elevating one another. Still a well put together burger and each component was done well on their own. My preference is just not to have that 3 different meats together (beef patty, brisket, bacon) Service was outstanding and super quick! They had a long line but they were ready!

Juicy, smoky, and a little messy--exactly how I like it. Once you've had Uncle Charlie's, no other meat will ever measure up... Just to clarify - I'm talking about bacon. Seriously the best bacon in Lexington - an orgasmic experience for your mouth and more affordable than you expect from a dedicated butcher. Your breakfast will never be the same after Charlie - and you won't regret the trip despite the location requiring navigation of New Circle Rd. I have heard rumors about the country ham but either forget to check or am unlucky in timing. Added bonus to visiting this strip mall is it frequently includes live entertainment in nearby parking lots.

This was my visit today in a nutshell…read more I enter. Gal walks to the register while I walk to a freezer "Hey. -_-" I say "Hey" back. Then I go to the freezers to see if I can find any hot dogs. I walk to the gal and ask "Do you guys have mini packs of hotdogs?" Gal: "No. -_-" I: I say "Thanks." and walk out. What is up with this? Not even a "We do have hotdogs though." Or..."Yeah, we sold out of hotdogs." Not even trying to upsell me, yet I know they had some good hotdogs that a coworker had bought for our business bbq a few years ago when I was at a previous employer.

If you're looking for a butcher shop that's easy to get in and out of, you're barking up the wrong…read moretree. If you're looking for a butcher shop that both makes all of its own products in-house and always has a variety of products (of which varies from visit to visit), this is your place. They might have pork, lamb, or beef in any sort of cut (rump roast, sirloin steak, "neck slices", filets, bacon, varietal sausages and beef sticks, etc etc etc) and there's no telling what you're going to find here at any certain time. However, since students are making the product, it's usually quite inexpensive and always of good quality. Plus, all the meat is local, which always tastes better I don't care what anyone say. The bad news is that it's hard to find, the hours are extremely limited, and it's first-come-first-serve. Shop at your own risk, or just let me keep this place to myself.

We had reservations but ended up getting there early and just had our dinner at the bar. We both had cocktails which we enjoyed along with the deviled eggs for an appetizer. The eggs were okay--a bit spicier than I would have preferred and I would probably try a different app next time I go (there will be a next time for sure!) My shrimp and grits were great but honestly the bourbon glazed wings that my fiance had were the show stoppers. Large sized wings that were smoked perfectly with the right amount of crunch topped with a sweet but not too sweet bourbon glaze. I will definitely get those next time I go. The vibes were casual and chill--the perfect place to pre-game before a game or event or the perfect place to meet friends for a drink. I'd definitely recommend!

Good price, good quality. No complaints there. For food, we had a mix at the table: fish, steak, and burgers. The fish was off. The texture was strange, almost like the skin had been left on even though it wasn't, and it had a fishy taste that just wasn't right. The burger, on the other hand, was very good and easily the best value of everything we tried. If I ever go back, that's probably what I'd order. The biggest disappointment was the service. Our server clearly wasn't having a good day, didn't seem interested in us, and let our drinks sit empty long enough that we had to wave him down just to get refills. It really took away from the experience. I'd give the place another shot, but if the next visit ends up feeling like this one, it'll probably fall off my list of places to go.

Notably, I could not find any fresh hummus, which seems to me like the #1 thing the term "Mediterranean market" would be advertising. They had plenty of canned hummus, as well as some canned fava beans that I like. There were plenty of dried beans, a lot of cheese, and only a few other things really. As such, I found a few things worth buying but was a bit disappointed overall. As the moment, the restaurant next door is closed temporarily but does have a restart date, so I'll likely come back and try it.
