Tonight I tried their rib eye, roasted potatoes with a side salad. Yum! Son had the Wings Wednesday special. He was pleasantly surprised at the size of the wings. He ordered 20, only made it through 8. Lunchtime for tomorrow. What to try next??????

Biggest burger ever! A mouthful, but so tasty. There was a short wait to get a table, but we had a drink while waiting. Just means it's a popular spot. Friendly wait staff and they were able to shift our drink tab to the table and split our bill with another couple without even asking. Not in Lexington often, but glad we found this spot!

Was helping my wife install some of her stained glass in Lexington on Wednesday evening and decided to grab a bite before heading home. Not being too familiar with the area, we checked Yelp for some suggestions and saw a lot of positive reviews for the Olde Well Tavern, so headed that way. Got there about 715 to a packed house, so took that as a good sign. Had about a 20 minute wait , so grabbed a drink in the bar, and was impressed by what a large selection they had. While waiting I even found one of my bottle cap art pieces on their wall, which was a great surprise since it was my first time visiting! We finally got seated, and had to make some decisions. There were a number of great options for dinner, but in the end I went with the Tavern Burger, they offer a ton of toppings, so plan ahead before you get out on the spot, I ended up with pimento cheese, lettuce, onion, onion and cole slaw with a side of sweet potato fries. Food came out quickly, piled high...it was a bit messy, but absolutely delicious! Food, service and atmosphere were all great, would absolutely go back, and would recommend!

The service was extremely good and the workers were really kind. Our waiter was quick to assist us and quickly situated us. I came with a big group of 9 and was made aware of the long wait and let us know a table would be ready in 40. Exactly 40 minutes later our table was ready. So communication here is awesome. The food did take about 25 minutes to come out but considering the entire restaurant was packed that felt pretty quick. Food came out hot and delicious, and was extremely cheap! (For a burger, fries and drink, 20 boneless wings, fries and drink it came out to $34 after tax.) I can't recommend this place enough. My first time was amazing and I recommend to come by here if you get the chance. Only issue was that the place was very packed but that's a sign of a good restaurant.

Food is spectacular. Beer is cold. Staff is amazing. Fast service. Friendly crowd. Wednesday is wings night. The dry rub boneless with Lemon Pepper with corn nuggets are delicious.

Great food and good beer! Always order take out because they are PACKED and their wings and burgers are delicious! Will continue to come.

You guess... is this your restroom?

If you want good service good bar food and lots of TV's then come eat at OWT. Place was clean, organized, you can see at least 1 TV from anywhere in the seating area. We had the Club sandwich with curly fries and beef Philly cheesesteak sandwich with fried okra. (See pics) The food was very good. Many people there with family, lots of games in TV's I am sure a fun game night place. Come and see them!

Loved the freshness of this salad. The lettuce was crunchy, and the mix of veggies added great texture. The dressing was tangy and delicious without overpowering the ingredients. It felt really light but still filling. Service was quick, and the place had a relaxed atmosphere.

I've very recently started dabbling in whiskeys and cigars as a man in my 30's trying to find new…read moreand more sophisticated ways to spend time with friends. The days of pounding shots in bars are long behind me and not fun anymore. But a cigar lounge and a glass of whiskey feels relaxed and more sophisticated. The Smoke & Oak has been on my wish list list for a while and I'm happy I finally went! The location is nondescript, looking like a normal house from the street were it not for the sign. Street parking was not difficult to find. Inside, the ambiance is great. Soft warm lighting, ample plush leather chairs for seating, attractive displays of cigars and a huge selection of whiskeys. The staff are passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly and made great recommendations. Walking in as a complete novice felt intimidating, and they made it much easier than I expected. I was taught basic terminology and options on pairings. Pricing felt reasonable and fair. The atmosphere was extremely laid back and relaxing. Socializing and networking with the other men was fun. I'll absolutely come back and you should too.

As we all were stowing our gear and insuring we didnt have any cuts on, we started in and were stopped by a fella wearing OLA gear, and told that we had to have a member change his shirt, as it didnt appeal apparently to him....it was a PGR shirt....thats Patriot Guard to those that dont know....its not an MC, nor RC..as we all were vets, we asked why, since it showed no disrespect to the locals.....and simply got a stare.... My buddy laughed and said he would change it....so as he was putting his gear back on, we all simply left and went to a place in Salisbury that IS biker friendly, is not ran by local MCs that we can tell, or is a local MC clubhouse as this one appeared to be.
