We went with two adults and two kids and ordered a mix so we could try several things: jambalaya, gumbo, red beans and rice, and chicken creole. Honestly, every dish was fantastic -- one better than the next. Tons of flavor, perfectly cooked, and the kind of food that makes you keep saying "just one more bite." It's casual, quick, and absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back.

The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the vibe is awesome, the prices are unbeatable, and the speed of the service is unmatched. I ordered the jambalaya, followed by a half-chicken, half-shrimp étouffée platter. The portions are absolutely massive. I even took leftovers back to my hotel room and still wanted more the next day. It is that good. If you are in town, do not skip this spot. I am 100% coming back again tomorrow before I fly home!

The menu is pretty big, and there are so many options. Portions are pretty big - the salads were huge, and there was no room for dessert! The sides are very flavorful, like the baked beans and Brussels. And if you get the chance to try them, the fried and smoked ribs are delicious! The restaurant is in that big lot with Kroger, so there's a lot of people in and around, which means parking gets a little hectic at times.

Running our monthly errands in Lexington on a Friday night before a forecasted winter storm,…read moreeverywhere we went was crowded! We usually eat at a different Ramsey's location, but this was closer to where we were. The atmosphere, service, and food were just as good as the other locations we've visited so we were not disappointed! We had a short wait for a table when we arrived, and I saw a table of women enjoying the espresso martini that I ended up ordering and enjoying. After starting with the Loaded House Salad with blue cheese dressing, the chicken livers were calling my name, along with mashed potatoes & gravy, with green beans. Hubby also had the Loaded House Salad, but with ranch dressing, fried chicken breasts, macaroni & cheese, green beans, and a corn stick. They were out of the sugar free peach pie so we skipped dessert, but we both brought home leftovers to enjoy for lunch on Saturday. Ironically our server Hannah is usually at the location we visit most frequently, so we will look for her the next time we're in that neighborhood.

However, I'm giving it a 3/5 stars because the cashier was not professional.

I plan to visit the restaurant in person for another review, but my experience with the service was not the best.

Except for one couple who were finishing their meal, we were the only ones there. Regardless we had fantastic service and tasty food with the gorgeous downtown views available from the huge windows. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which was HUGE, juicy and crispy. The fries were delicious, a very generous portion and very well seasoned. Since we were celebrating we ordered 2 desserts: the olive oil cake and the 10th birthday celebration cake. The celebration cake was a bit dry, but the olive oil cake was fantastic with a lovely combo of strawberries and pistachio cream. A really amazing cake I wish I could have more. Bye Lockbox! Thanks for the memories.

I'm starting with four stars, but will probably go back and try some more dishes to try to push…read morethis spot up to a five. I think the possibility is there. The vibes and the ambiance is cool and modern, with art adorning the walls (it is inside the 21C art hotel after all). Tables are well spaced out and benches are comfortable. Open and full of light, this is a great space. Service was attentive and helpful. I started out with the sausage balls, made with creole hot honey mustard, dill, and chili. The texture was really hard and while the sauce was tasty, the sausage ball itself seemed to lack flavor. Next time I will probably try to pimento cheese, which the server said was supposed to be very good (he couldn't speak personally because he's not a pimento fan). For my entree I had the pork belly. And I think I am the problem here, not the dish. It's fatty and rich, as pork belly is supposed to be, but it felt so very greasy to me. I ate very little of this, and this is where my fifth star falls off. I should have gone with the burger or berry beef culotte. I also had a side of fries, which as others have noted, are crisp and well seasoned. They were delicious. They have a nice little cocktail list. I had the hattori hanzo, mad with haku vodka, smoked paprika, pineapple shrub, and pineapple juice. I love pineapple, so I loved this drink that was heavy on the fruity flavor. I also had the temper tantrum, made with gin, grapefruit, lime juice, and thyme. A little sweet, a little bitter, which was perfect for this gin lover. It might have been my favorite. And the Scarlet Manhattan, made with old forester rye, scarlet apertivo, angostura, and orange bitters, it was the perfect smoky end to the night. Looking forward to coming back and adding that fifth star.

My biggest complaint is that on the weekends they don't start serving lunch until at least 1:00 and there is no set time when they stop serving breakfast and switch over to lunch.
