The staff is so different and each person working at Girls brings personality and sparkle - making it an incredible place for conversation and yes, advice from the bartender! There is always something fun going on, and the food is fresh, unique, and caters to people with all sorts of dietary needs/preferences. The decor is also on point... and I am one of those that specifically bought an "Eat Girls" t-shirt... because what other motto could there be? In case you think I am forgetting the food quotient - the cheeseburger crunch wrap is quite possibly my favorite food item in Lexington. I won't go beyond that except to say it is the perfect late night snack... especially after karaoke, fun flirting, and four (yes... four) watermelon coconut margaritas. You choose - go for the vibes, the staff, the food, or the fun! It is all there!

We shared an order for queso dip and I got the trash cat burrito with spicy ground beef, it was decent.

It is small and they'll only accommodate parties of 6 or less, so this restaurant is for intimate gatherings. EVERYTHING was top notch! The cocktails were creative and good, the menu is imaginative with creations you won't find anywhere else. They have a couple of carryover items from Carson's menu, but the rest is unique to the Back Porch. All our food was delicious. The servers were on point. Mark, the owner, stopped by our table for a chat. Nice guy. They have entrees and apps at a variety of price points, so you can go $$$ or $$ as desired. They have a footlong corndog I want to try sometime and lots more, so I look forward to going back often!

Pre pandemic this was a decent little dive bar. Not anymore…read more I went in on a Friday to have a couple of beers and maybe a burger. First off the blonde bartender was terrible. One of the worst I've ever experienced- and I will admit I HAVE been around. She was terribly inattentive (except to the one guy-boyfriend ?- that she rarely pulled away from. Walked back to the backside of the bar and took a look in the kitchen. There was a lanky, mangey looking dude wearing a nasty ass apron watching TV. That pretty killed my desire for a burger. Eventually I finished my beer, sorry to see what this joint had become. I doubt I ever return.

About 10:40 they had some live jazz music which was awesome! Service was top notch and we can't wait to return and try the regular menu.

Well appointed with comfortable furniture and attractive decor. Brightly lit and light colors. Went with friends for an early dinner and were seated promptly and offered menus and water right away. Friendly server who did everything one would expect. We ordered four different entrees and all were good. The two desserts were, as well. We had tea and water so can't speak to the cocktails. But it was a good dinner experience and I'm sure I'll go back. My wife has been a few times to the other locations and enjoyed.

Service was excellent and we were able to enjoy a leisurely dining experience from start to finish. We each ordered various menu items of tacos, burritos, quesadillas, salads, nachos, tortilla chips, salsas, and margaritas and everyone was very complementary and would return for repeat visits when in the area. Prices were a terrific value for quality and quantity of food items. I personally had the tacos pescado with option of flour tortillas instead of corn. These were delicate grilled and seasoned tilapia filets nestled in with shredded purple and green cabbage atop and 2 accompanying sauces to drizzle per preference. The plate also included white rice with a smattering of diced vegetables for appealing color and texture as well as a small green salad topped with avocado slices, tomato, cucumber, and a couple of lime wedge garnish for the tacos. I also want to add that I was VERY impressed with the extensive and authentic large menu!!! Menudo, pozole, octopus, and so many items that knocked my socks off. Noise level mild to moderate as the dining areas filled on a Friday evening. It was an easily accessible property from the corner of Short Street near the parking garage. Decor was festive and appealing to the eye. Every employee we encountered was welcoming and helpful. Looking forward to returning soon.

Nothing to write home about but a good snack with my drinks. It was super dead in here, when I left I was the only table.

Our group stopped here Friday midday for a light bite and refreshment while visiting the area…read more This dining option is housed within the bookstore near the back wall area. Terrific views overlooking a pond through the oversized windows. Waitstaff were friendly and we were seated immediately and given menus. We mainly opted for dessert options of peach cobbler, chocolate cake, peanut butter pie, and a chicken salad croissant sandwich. Our experience was a 6/10. 1) One person was overcharged $3 for a $5 item and had to point out the correct posted price on the menu. Our server left to speak to her manager and returned to say it was a misprint, but that they'd honor it this time. WTH? Doing us a "favor" for their error? 2) Another friend ordered the chocolate cake and asked for the whipped cream to be held. The server said it wasn't possible since this was in between the layers of the cake. This was incorrect. 3) Another friend also ordered the chocolate cake based on the server's description. He inquired as to where the cherries were she'd listed as a component to the cake. (One of the reasons he'd actually ordered that item.) The server said the cherries were a "seasonal item" and weren't included at this time. Again, WTH? Should've been accurately informed prior to ordering to perhaps reconsider this chosen selection. 4) I ordered peach cobbler and am thankful it actually came with the peaches! However, I specifically requested it without ice cream. I'm sure it won't be a surprise when I say that it arrived with a large scoop plopped on top and melting, so I just removed as much as I could at that point. So, for anyone with dairy allergies, you might be wise to avoid this place. Also, it's like a game of roulette when one orders from the printed menu and then expected to unquestionably accept whatever version of food happens to arrive table-side. Be sure to look over your final check for accuracy and please also note that a 20% gratuity was automatically added to each of our checks. (This might explain the poor level of service?) Anyway, we usually leave a larger percentage, but all opted to leave it "as is" since the decision had been made for us.

I wish I could give this establishment a negative star! Our server Jennifer was incredibly rude. My…read morefamily and I traveled here to celebrate my daughter's graduation from college and stoped in while shopping. Her demeanor was so off-putting I thought she didn't want to serve us because we were African American. As the only Black people (that I could see) in the restaurant, I thought it was odd that she was pleasant to the white patrons and incredibly curt with us. One of our hot beverages was dripping as she carried it to the table and she not only didn't take care as she placed it but she walked away without offering napkins to clean up her mess. To make matters worse (again), there were not many patrons in the restaurant and at one point we were the only ones in the restaurant and still were not attended to properly. As for the food, my daughter ordered a turkey melt, and got a tuna melt. I ordered the hot ham and Brie, got a weird cold sandwich with what I think was apple sauce as the condiment and couldn't even eat it. I will never EVER step foot in this establishment again and sincerely caution any Black or Brown patrons to skip this one. Spend your money where you're treated with respect. Total waste of our time, and energy. UPDATE: A lovely server named Ciarra came over to check on us and changed the trajectory of our afternoon for the better. She spoke to us thoughtfully and offered to get the GM for us. The GM and Kitchen Manager (Kathy and Betty) were very kind and apologized for how we were treated by their server, Jennifer. I was clear that if I ever came back I wouldn't sit at her table. They even changed our server to Ciarra to ensure we'd be treated respectfully - which we were after the change. I hope for the sake of the Bronte Bistro restaurant they either counsel Jennifer or help her find another occupation because she should NOT be representing this establishment or serving Black/Brown people. My biggest concern are the patrons that never spoke up and just never came back to the restaurant and told others how awful their experience is. I believe in giving people feedback so they at least have an opportunity to improve. However, their small business will suffer tremendously if people like Jennifer are their representative, and I made that clear both to the managers, and directly to Jennifer as a courtesy.
