    Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Roll
    Katie B.

    Went on a Saturday for lunch time and the place was pretty crowded. Order at the counter. Friendly Staff helped with the menu. My husband really enjoyed the monte Cristo croissant sandwich. The southern eggs Benedict was good, but I didn't personally enjoy the fried green tomato.

    Breakfast plate x2!

    Found it through Yelp and came right over. We both ordered the breakfast plate. My eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon was just as I wanted, crispy! But the biscuit with gravy was the hit of the morning! Great texture to the biscuit and the gravy-delicious! The order taker was quite pleasant and helped us order. The food came out quickly and was hot! I'd definitely come back. Industrial looking but comfortable. Nice vibe here. Great place for breakfast in Lexington!

    I'd give this place more stars if I could. First of all I chose to go here because they support hiring people with addiction issues that are in recovery. I'm a drug and alcohol counselor and this concept is amazing and should be in every city in every state. Then there is the food. Omg. So I tried the special of steak and street corn tacos, two in a serving and they were amazing! I also wanted to try the clam chowder but didn't want a whole bread bowl, they were very accommodating and let me just purchase a cup of chowder which was very good with chunks of goodness. Service was outstanding as well!

    I found this eatery on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Based on the reviews, I expected a crowd, but there weren't very many people there on a Sunday morning. The parking lot is huge, and there is plenty of seating inside. The menu is on the smaller side, but there are certainly enough offerings to meet any craving. I ordered the French toast sticks and an eggs benedict, with a sweet tea. The French toast was the perfect example of crunchy on the outside, pillowy soft on the inside. The accompanying syrup was great as it wasn't too sweet. The eggs benedict was ok. I would try something else were I to visit again. The biscuit was fresh and soft but not flavorful at all. I needed salt and pepper to accent the flavors. The sweet tea was semi-sweet. The staff seemed friendly enough, and the price point seemed appropriate.

    Was sent there by a local to have their must have cinnamon rolls. Although they are a must have the breakfast hash recommended by the server is an absolute must! Gravy, meat, potatoes, green beans underneath, etc... so good!!

    We wanted a good breakfast sandwich and figured we would take advantage of car and not be limited to places within walking distance of the dorms. This place was so good! It has a nice, busy, slightly artsy vibe. You order at the front counter, they give you a number for your table tent and then they bring the food out. It was surprisingly fast and service was friendly. We ordered breakfast plates, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, a honey siracha chicken sandwich, a chocolate croissant, tots and coffee. It was around $50 for four of us for a great, fairly fast breakfast. The chicken sandwich was delicious! The chicken was nice, plump and crispy and the sauce was very good with pickles on a flaky biscuit. The tots were well cooked and seasoned. The chocolate croissant was different because it was chocolate cream on top vs inside. It was nice and light and creamy. Even the coffee was good.

    The Bear and the Butcher ended up being a pretty average Saturday night out for us. We were a group…read moreof four and started with cocktails, which honestly were the highlight of the whole visit. 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.

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!

The food is incredible -- fresh baked breads, giant cinnamon rolls, homemade biscuits, pastries, and locally made breakfast and lunch options that honestly taste homemade in the best way.

DV8 supports people in recovery by providing second-chance employment, community, and vocational opportunities for individuals rebuilding their lives after addiction. You can truly feel the heart behind the place, and knowing your meal supports something bigger makes it even more meaningful. Lexington is lucky to have businesses like this -- local, welcoming, community-focused, and making a real difference while serving amazing food. Definitely one of the most inspiring spots in town. A little bonus they offer GF options!

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. The man at the counter was friendly and kept apologizing to us for the wait while he was assisting the other customer . I used to work in the food industry( former kitchen manager) so I get it but he didn't need to apologize. The store is always clean and well organized & if you don't see the donut you want its likely in the back. I gobbled my minis before I could take a picture my apologies. (They were that good)!
