Both experiences were great, but the High Street location edges out Hamburg as far as service goes. Don't get me wrong, Hamburg is great too, our server admittedly got in the weeds that evening and left us hanging when it came time for dessert and the check. Cocktails at both were delicious, love to see a seasonal cocktail menu with good seasonal fruits. Food quality both times was good as well; both times I was with a group, and everyone enjoyed their meal. Desserts were had both times and they were enjoyable too. Recommend! 14/26

The food, service, and purpose behind DV8 Kitchen make it such a special place. I honestly would go here every day if I could.

We were greeted by the friendly cashier that took our order right away as there was no line. I got the orange marmalade chicken sandwich and my friend got the cheeseburger and fries.

The wait was not long, but it was packed for 8:30 AM. You can tell it's a popular spot. We were seated in a tiny 2 person area and I was right next to an extinguisher. I thought that was a bit uncomfortable since it took from my already small sitting arrangement and I kept hitting it with my shoulder. Not the biggest deal. I was upset because the food is not terribly expensive, but for $17ish I ordered an omelette with two meats (sausage and bacon) and veggies, potatoes, and toast (Josie's Dad I believe it was called)... yet the omelette came with two tiny chunks of sausage. No meat, just veggies. The server came and she asked if something was wrong with our food, and if we were sure based on the look on my face. I honestly didn't want to fuss because it was very busy, so I didn't send it back. The food was okay; my husband enjoyed his pork chop. Overall I'd give it an 8/10 but not sure if I'd be back just yet.

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.

Nashville really turned us on to the biscuit breakfast so when we saw that Lexington had some choices we knew we had to try! We stopped into Biscuit Belly on a recent Wednesday morning on our way out of town and were greeted with the nicest staff, waiting to take our order. We had a few questions and the man at the register was super knowledgeable and extra kind!! When we stop into a new place, my husband and I enjoy ordering a couple of different options and sharing so we can both try more things in one visit! :) The biscuit belly choices made this difficult, so many items look amazing!! My husband ordered the Mama's boy and I ordered the Fire in your Belly! Both of the sandwiches were delicious! The Mama's boy had the most tasty jalapeño pimento cheese and the perfect accompaniment, a fried green tomato on top!! This was a great combo! The Fire in your belly felt like a more simple sandwich, with less on it, but the flavors went so well together, it ended up being our favorite!! The cheddar cheese really brought everything together so nicely!! Both also came with delicious pickles which doesn't sound like it fits into a breakfast entree, but it truly did!!! :) We enjoyed both the loaded tots and cheesy grits on the side! If you get a chance to stop into a Biscuit Belly sometime, I would definitely make your move!! ;) We don't have places like this up North and that's a sad, sad thing!!

DV8 supports people in recovery by providing second-chance employment, community, and vocational opportunities for individuals rebuilding their lives after addiction.

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)!
