    Açaí bowls
    Andrea C.

    This place is downtown close to campus. We finally had the opportunity to check it out and had no idea all they serve. They have quite the variety from açaí bowls, smoothies, breakfast sandwiches, green smoothies. We tried the dragonfruit bowl, a ginger green smoothie, and the peanut butter strawberry bowl. They have an option for any time of the day. I absolutely loved the ginger smoothie perfect for a healthy pick me up. They're currently also changing up the menu to make it easier to order which will be nice.

    Almond Butter & Fruit Bowl
    John B.

    I'm normally the sort who will get busy with my own blender at home, but I took up this smoothie place on an app deal. The price still seemed like a lot for a bowl until I actually received it. My almond butter-infused bowl was a monster; I struggle to imagine eating the whole thing in one sitting. It kept okay, but I'd recommend sharing. The chia pudding I got to bring me up to the order threshold was likewise a beast, with a coconut base and a pile of Nutella, you'll be full for a while on half of that thing. Can't fault them on portion size. They don't have any other food options per se, and no particularly exotic fruits or other ingredients, but being close to the university, I'm betting they'll do good business for those not in the game of making their own.

    I love JumpStart Smoothies!! I am a student at the University of Kentucky and there is a JumpStart Smoothie right off campus. I go weekly to get a small snack or one of their delicious smoothie bowls. My personal favorite is their strawberry and banana smoothie bowl. It's delicious; it has a thick, creamy strawberry and banana smoothie at the bottom, granola as the next layer and then they put freshly cut strawberries and bananas on the very top of the entire bowl to make the perfect concoction of yumminess! They have many other great options, as well. A favorite of many is the Nutella berry bowl. It's an acai based smoothie bowl with Nutella, banana, strawberry, granola, and soy milk to make the smoothie. They then top it with granola, bananas, strawberries, Nutella and chocolate chips. I've heard from many of my peers that they love going to JumpStart specifically for this smoothie bowl. The workers are very nice and polite. They're engaged as soon as you walk through the doors and are ready to take your order. The customer service is exceptional with the wait time being relatively fast. I would recommend visiting this establishment to anyone who is in town or any students who need to find a good place close to campus to get a tasty snack!!

    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!

If you're in Lexington, this is definitely a spot you don't want to miss!

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)!
