    Heuvos Rancheros
    Christopher T.

    Cali resident and native Texan. I come to Lexington yearly for a business trip and always add Doodles to my list. Its clean, wholesome, and delicious food. I always feel good after breakfast, which is unlike the typical 2k calorie Denny's feast. I usually get the Heuvos Rancheros and am always happy with my choice. We usually get a order of beignets for the table and always convert some fans with the order Service is quick and the atmosphere is a great lunch vibe.

    What a great breakfast place! Good atmosphere. Great food. Had the biscuits and gravy plate with eggs and fried potatoes. It was delicious. Highly recommended.

    Great little casual breakfast place close to campus with parking. You order at the counter, then sit and they bring the food to your table. It's mostly standard breakfast items, but a few interesting adds, like beignets and side item options that include spicy fries or cheese grits. We tried a few different items. For me, it was the BELT, basically a BLT was egg and cheese grits as the side. It was pretty good. I'm glad I tried the grits, although they weren't quite my thing. Others ordered the Cure breakfast with fries, a breakfast sandwich with breakfast potatoes and the Little Egg Doodle. Everyone enjoyed our food and we compared it with breakfast the day before (I rated 5 stars) and we were mixed on which meal was better. For me, this is solid 4. My girls said the bacon was really good. The place is old fashioned cozy, but nothing special inside. Wood table felt a little sticky. You get coffee or drinks yourself and water/soda is a large acrylic glass. Nothing wrong with any of that, but you get the feel. Menu is good, food is solid, service is fast, and prices are reasonable. The beignets were good, because it's a beignet and who doesn't like a warm doughnut with powdered sugar, but it wasn't a great beignet, just a decent one. I would go back and I could see this as a regular for students on a weekend.

    The most delicious biscuits and gravy! I eat this as my favorite meal no matter the day! #BirthdayBreakfast

    I absolutely recommend Doodles for breakfast, brunch, lunch, late lunch, whenever!! I have tried multiple plates here and not one has let me down! I recommend this place to all my friends and this who come in from out of town! There is an inside and outside seating option for those who prefer one over the other! The ambiance is warm and inviting, the service is friendly, and the food is out on the table in a timely manner!

    I love local Lex restaurants but Doodles was a dud. The biscuits and gravy lacked flavor, the biscuits seemed like smashed rolls, and the over easy eggs were overcooked. The rolls a/k/a biscuits were charred black and had a burned flavor. I hate giving a local restaurant a bad review but Doodles was a huge disappointment.

    The food was very good. Lots of flavor. The restaurant was very busy. Looks like it might have been a service station in its earlier life. You place your order at the counter and then find a place to sit and eat. They will not take your order unless there are tables available or you are ordering to go. I loved the atmosphere, you could watch thee food preparation. Soft drinks, coffee are self served. Looking forward to coming back. I believe there hours are 8am to 2pm.

    An almost completely self service establishment located in a really cool refurbished automobile garage that asks for a tip when you order your meal at the counter. That is annoying. The food is very well prepared and I loved my Doodle (it's a popeyed egg with a biscuit). It was so good we went out of our way to visit a second time. It's also important to say this restaurant values inclusivity. That makes this place even more special and worth the trip.

    Great breakfast place in Lexington. Sometimes it does gets crowded, so do expect a line. Most of the times the lines goes quick. You order up front and then you go and pick a table. There are lots of outdoor seating and I was surprised by decent parking spaces as well. I got the Cajun shrimp and grits and they were great!

    Visited this location with my co-workers...Ample parking, clean restrooms, and quick service. The food was really good, too.

    Rancheros were delicious. Surprisingly delicious and in Lexington not Texas. Menu included several unique entrees. Highly recommend for brunch or anytime of the day

I'm from the west coast and I've had my fair share of Hawaiian food and I can only imagine how good it would've been it the driver and delivery service would have done their jobs correctly. When I'm back in town I can't wait to come in and give this place another shot.

Spam was a little salty (duh, that's to be expected) but well fried. The fried sunny side up egg was amazeballs too, so rich and runny. Fries were hot and crispy as well, but honestly the spam and eggs (which also came with sticky rice and macaroni salad) was so filling that I barely touched the fries. This delicious smorgasbord was only 9 dollars! My colleague had the juicer, which is mahi mahi with cabbage slaw and spicy mayo. He also got the Hawaiian style fries. Topped with spicy mayo, sweet soy, house chili sauce, green onion, and sesame seed, this is an extravagant dish! He enjoyed it. My other colleague got spam musubi is spam and sweet soy on sticky rice, wrapped in seaweed. He says it's his favorite dish from there. Other dishes include kalua pork (Hawaiian bbq sauce), teriyaki chicken, grilled tofu, coconut shrimp, and katsu, which is panko fried pork with their house sauces. For a meal out of the ordinary, give Big Kahuna a try. They say they have the "second best fish sandwich in town!" (Charlie's claims the first spot).

This visit marked our third time at OBC Kitchen, and once again, it did not disappoint. This time we experimented with timing and booked an early reservation at 2:45 pm on a Saturday. We crossed over into the dinner menu and discovered something wonderful: the service and ambiance were even better than the busier evening hours after 6 pm. The staff was exceptionally attentive. Every dish and cocktail option was explained thoughtfully, which I appreciate, especially because I enjoy cocktails that come with a bit of theater. When drinks are presented with care, described well, and executed beautifully, the experience becomes part performance, part craft. Here, they delivered perfectly. The food, as always, was superb. We shared several chef selections including Beef Tallow Fries, Southern Grouper, Bacon in a Glass, and the Cola-Braised Short Ribs. Each dish was rich, flavorful, and confidently executed. Dessert continued the celebration with the Churro Cheesecake, and to our delight we were also gifted the Warm Buttermilk Donuts, which felt like a small act of culinary generosity. In a departure from my usual Manhattan and Old Fashioned flights, I tried a Bloody Mary and The Cure, both excellent and beautifully balanced. At this point I can confidently say OBC Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the country. The consistency, creativity, and hospitality make every visit memorable. A special thank you to the team who took care of us on Saturday, March 7th, 2026. You elevated an already wonderful experience and made it even better than usual.
