Ambiance is ADORABLE! The service was calm and friendly and helpful. We got a cheddar cheeseburger with a side of fries and 2 donuts: burger was good! It had all the goods on it (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles). It was juicy but not even a little bit greasy. Ratio of meat was also ideal. Fries were hot and delicious. The donuts were so much better than I expected. I typically don't love cake donuts but these were really soft and not dry in any way and we came around 30 min before they closed so I can only imagine getting them first thing. Highly recommend if you want a good simple burger that doesn't make you feel sluggish after eating. read more

Popped into Pure Eats for breakfast on my last day in Lexington. They serve breakfast all day. First: Get a donut! Or two donuts, like I did! They make the donuts in house, and they are super fresh in the morning. Their classic is the cinnamon sugar donut, but I also got a glazed and both were delicious. That and a cup of black coffee, and breakfast is set. But I thought it would be wise to get some protein, so I also ordered the avocado toast with an over-medium egg. The avocado toast is a single piece of wheat bread (or white bread, if you prefer) with a schmear of herbed cream cheese and mashed avocado (plus an egg if you add one). The avocado toast was good and simple. Pure Eats is housed in a former gas station, and you can tell because it looks like an old fashioned petrol place from the outside. Inside, the dining room is colorful and fun, with table and booth seating, as well as a high-top bar. The people who work here are so friendly, and we chatted about where I was from and where I was going. read more

Excellent food and service, great indoor and outdoor seating. My only beef with this place is that they seem to up charge for everything and don't include sides with their sandwiches. read more

Cute place from the outside - Red/White and Blue that carries inside too. Seating outside is via umbrella protected picnic tables. Seating inside is counter or at small tables surrounded by a pillowed banquet. Ordering is placed at the counter and food will be delivered to you. We enjoyed a cheeseburger, a BLT on white toast and a sharing size of onion rings. The food was tasty and served at the correct temperature. The major disappointment were the donuts. These were not cheap at $1.50 each. While they looked good they tasted bad. Overly sweet frosting that reminded us of Pillsbury frosting purchased from the supermarket and the donut cake itself was flavorless and stale tasting. We happily discarded these saving ourselves calories on a bad treat. read more

Very, very cute burger stop in Lexington. Had a veggie burger and a breakfast burrito (all day breakfast!) and both were delicious. Hardworking young staff is friendly and capable. Might be on the expensive side if you just wanted a bite to go, but worth a sit-down meal in their sunny and welcoming dining room. Great ambiance, would stop by all the time if I were local! read more

We've eaten here multiple times and the food is always delicious and high quality and served rather quickly for a made to order restaurant. Breakfast all day, great burgers and can't forget the donuts! read more

Service patient and helpful. Enjoyed the burger. Great iced tea station. Food served fast.

Appalled is an under statement - not only did they reprimand my 3 year old for her feet being on a cushion (since when is it appropriate to parent someone's kid, if she had asked me I would've gladly told my daughter to move her feet) But we also saw a cockroach on the ground where we were eating. We let them know and all they had to say was "okay thank you". No offer to reimburse or anything. Gross gross gross. read more

Amazing!! The service is perfect and the food is delicious. Very chill and calm. All the decorations are super cute!

Great fun atmosphere and wonderful service. Ask for Sarah, she was the best and so helpful. Food was fresh and great flavors. Best fries ever. Will certainly come back! read more

Fun place to eat with good food! However, the prices are a bit high for basic burgers, fries/onion rings, and shakes. The buns and sweet potato fries are delicious. The patties themselves are just okay and the shakes are a little thin and melt quickly. read more

After much research on where to eat (after a detour to see Stonewall Jackson gravesite), we chose this AWESOME place! Locally grown beef makes an incredible burger (hubby said best ever) and organic homemade chicken salad ("think old church lady recipe" per owner)for me was wow yummy! We will be recommending to all our peeps who travel this way! read more

We were told by the visitors bureau that they had excellent burgers here. Not from area but I would rate this burger so-so. Place is very cramped. Food mostly fried is ok. Service is slow. If you are truly in the mood for a burger this will disappoint. We did like the tallow beef fries. Not a must visit by any stretch of the imagination. read more

This is just about the fact that our breakfast burritos were pretty cold - the grated cheese inside was not melted whatsoever. If they had been hot it would have been better. Nice staff, though read more

the food is excellent! the servers are friendly and efficient. Overall one of the best breakfast places we have been to... p.s the cinnamon raisin bagel is a must try read more

Love the food and the service. Eating outside was a pleasure too. This is our 2nd time stopping in Lexington overnight on our way South and Pure Eats will always get our business! All home made food! read more

Pure Eats is known to be a staple but this place has only disappointed me since moving back home and eating there again. First off the line up to the counter was very awkward and the employees seemed very annoyed I wanted to take my time looking at the menu. Mostly because everything that should just come on a burger or a hotdog is all up charged. I ordered a burger with cheese and fries and it cost me almost $15 which if the burger was any good or a decent size maybe I would be happier with it. My burger paddy was very small way over cooked and the bun was hard and dry. The only good thing we're the fries. Which I had to pay almost $5 bucks for. And the bag had barely any fries in it. The atmosphere in there is so stuffy and you feel like you're eating in a little kids playroom. Overall terrible place the breakfast I've had before as well it was so bad. Worst bagel that they bought probably frozen and same for the biscuits. Don't eat here they try to say the local beef is what is pure but it's not done properly to make it any good. DO NOT RECOMMEND!! You can see below how sad the burger was for this didn't even cover the whole bun read more

This is a very nice find for donuts in Lexington. It has some parking out front and is within easy walking distance from hotels on Main Street. Six of us went in here on a Sunday morning for some donuts and bagels. THe donuts were excellent! They had a lemon one this day and I love lemon! They offer several different kinds of bagels including everything bagels... you can also add egg, bacon and avocado. We will definitely have donuts and bagels from here again read more

Diner like restaurants, that specializes in homemade donuts with breakfast served all day. We like to go for a cheeseburger and fries. Ambience is cool, old gas station with pillowed benches and red whitens blue decor. Prices are reasonable. Service is quick, order at the counter. My milkshake was a little thin, so ask for it thicker if that's how you like it. Great location in Lexington, close to Washington and Lee, VMI and downtown. Outdoor seating and beer and wine served too. Small parking lot and street parking... usually never hard to find a spot. Could be a line in prime times. All in all a good place for a quick casual bite. read more

Super cute, delicious breakfast sandwiches and friendly staff. We ate outside and would recommend.

The food is tasty, hot and fresh. Great cottage ambiance, and the staff is likely the best in Lexington.

Absolutely delicious!! I also love the history of the building they work out of, it used to be an old gas station. The outdoor seating area is pretty large and they leave you with lots of room in between as per the social distance guidelines. Out door parking was not too plentiful and some guests had to park across the street. However, it is well worth the walk. I had to order some donuts, because according to their menu that's what they are famous for. I don't even know how to explain what it tasted like, but if I lived closer I would definitely be gaining a lot of weight! The breakfast burrito I ordered was super delicious and not close to any I have had, they really pay attention to details at this establishment. If I make the trip out that way again, this is a place I will definitely stop at! read more

My wife and I were traveling in the area and want to eat local. Small place very close to VMI. cramped inside. I ordered a double burger and my wife got a breakfast biscuit. Food overall was good. I had ordered my burger with ketchup and mayo and it came plain. when asked for the mayo, was told would bring it out. it never came! My wife's biscuit, was average and seemed a bit smaller than other competitors. Just average all around. read more

Hire some more people to help do everything. Keep up with making coffee. Put out napkins and cups. Clear tables. Breakfast burrito was mediocre and way overpriced. Donut was good but overpriced. There's no music in the restaurant, just dead silence. Will not return. read more

Pure Eats exceeded all my expectations!! The service was fantastic and the owner was super nice!! I ordered a Everything Bagel to go and it was so delicious and soft and fresh!! The owner offered to try a donut and they were so delicious!! It's a quaint little restaurant that has super delicious and fresh made options to choose between. Definitely recommend and definitely look forward to returning to try more delicious food with great service!! read more

We stopped in for a fresh lunch in our way home from a DC/Williamsburg road trip and were pleasantly surprised! The owner and staff were very kind and easy to talk to. I have several food allergies and was able to enjoy a delicious meal with meat fresh from the farmer/butcher that morning. The bun was soft and held up to the fresh juicy patties and toppings. My husband enjoyed the beef tallow fries and I went with he regular fat fries. They were very fresh and simply seasoned. We enjoyed our lunch on the patio and would definitely come back for donuts and burgers the next time we pass by! read more

Food was good but serving sizes were small portions.. had the BLT and salad with grilled chicken. Might try breakfast next

I didn't know this joint was known for their burgers until my friends and I found ourselves trying to get a good, solid yet simple lunch. Great burgers, nice patio, and yummy donuts. Probably would have gone here every day while visiting if we had known about it sooner! The terra-cotta roof was also very cool. :) read more

My tour guide suggested this place for doughnuts We tried cinnamon strawberry blueberry and glazed cake donuts and chocolate iced We came at 7pm 4/22 Lucky they still had some The blueberry was excellent However the others were just bland and dry As a suggestion re work your cake doughnut base to add more flavor Moisture maybe they are better earlier in the day I'd go for the blueberry read more

Good milkshakes, family was happy! Was an off time of day so we walked in and ordered with no wait.

We've coming back to this place for years. We've never come to town without having some Pure Eats! Service has always been great. Some people are friendly than others, but diversity is what makes life rich. The eggs are always fresh. High quality local foods is a definite plus and one reason we keep coming back. I love that they serve on real plates with glass beverage containers. I love the variety and unique offerings. Great vibe inside. Small but accommodating. Plenty of outdoor seating. Have been here 3 times in 3 days. If you want a chain restaurant, go to one. If you want a phenomenal place with local flare, come and get some Pure Eats!!! read more

Curt, prompt service. I ordered a BLT and tried to order an a la carte egg on the side, but they don't serve their eggs boiled. Bread on the BLT was over toasted. Good tomatoes are the difference in a good BLT and just food. This was just food. The bread appeared to be just store-bought smallish sandwich bread. The rest of my party ordered breakfast wraps or burritos that they found a little lacking in taste. I managed to borrow hot sauce from another patron's table and everyone put it on their food, even the children. They reported that it was pretty good hot sauce. The dining area and outside are very pleasant with lots of natural light. read more

Food was great customer service was so lacking. I know 12 ppl is overwhelming but attitude sliding food across our table where the sauce slides off an walks away so aggressive.i ordered a shake. Was told I didn't. Wasn't given my recipe back toprove ... so 2 sandwich 2 sides an a drink 42$ + tip. No shake... 45 minutes for food so I went bk in bought donuts for apps we were hungry. No smiles just like annoyed ..... We did move the tables with every intention of putting them back when we were done. Lady comes out says my boss called said we don't move our tables so put them back your boss really drives by sees ur busy doesn't stop to help but complain of moved patio furniture when paying guest are eating. We tippedwell at the counter so I for sure just don't get the attitude. read more

Such a cool place!!! And the food was great. We had a veggie burger and grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Plenty of seating inside and outside but it was hot so we stayed inside. Even the bathroom was very nice. You order at the counter when you walk in and then they bring you the food. Very friendly and service was quick. We were so happy to have ventured off the highway to find this place. I bought a donut for the road and it was amazing. Finished it before we got to the car. Lexington is so lucky to have a place like this. read more

Getting off work was way more important to the crew working here than service. They refused to make milkshakes 30 minutes before closing. Served my kids stale donut sundaes before giving them a chicken finger and 7 fries in a paper bag. When we asked for plates, they said they weren't using dishes (except for the stale donut sundaes bowls) Another customer ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich because they didn't understand the chalkboard menu, the server took their money even though they don't sell a buffalo chicken sandwich. When the customer complained, the server had no response. If you want to close early, close early. Don't be a half ass restaurant. read more
