    We had to try The Waffle House while in Lexington and we were not disappointed. When we walked in the entire crew welcomed us and everyone actually said Hi! Welcome to Waffle House. The food was SO GOOD!!! The food was inexpensive, fast, and really good. Definite comfort food and the waffles were fantastic. Our waitress Beatrice was friendly and attentive, thank you!! Doyle came by to chat and he was also great. The manager was professional, friendly and gorgeous. Not that it matters, but she was. Thanks everyone for a great first experience!

    I eat at Waffle House a fair amount, and which location I patronize depends on where I happen to be. I had heard this new location on Winchester Road was opening soon, and I had also heard that it was corporately-owned, as opposed to being a franchise store. It is now the nearest Waffle House to my home, though. All of this is merely background to illuminate my mixed thoughts on this Waffle House. It's new. The parking lot has fresh lines and bright paint. Noticably so. That newness extends indoors as well, where the entire restaurant still seems unused. It's not, of course. There was a decent-sized crowd when we stopped in for a Friday morning breakfast. But the tables didn't have a trace of stickiness, and that surprised me. In an older Waffle House, no matter how much they clean, the syrup stickiness lingers in the crevices of the table. Let's address the food first. I have a usual order, no matter the time of day: a grilled cheese, hash browns and a Coke. This trip, I noticed that there's a $6 meal deal that's a bacon grilled cheese with hash browns and a drink. So I went for that. I asked for my hash browns crispy (or "well.") My wife's order varies more than mine, but she always wants her hash browns crispy, but she wants them potato chip crispy. Whether a Waffle House can get an order of crispy hash browns cooked correctly varies a lot by location and the phase of the moon. Sometimes the top is nice and crispy, but there are still nearly raw potatoes underneath. Sometimes it's a nearly burnt potato chip. Well, this Waffle House can do crispy hash browns the right way. They were cooked perfectly. Crispy all the way through without being overdone. Bravo. It remains to be seen whether they can do this consistently, but it's this achievement that earns them the four stars of this review. Now, the service. It was good. I really shouldn't complain. But I will. Waffle House is a diner and friendly wait staff with southern charm is de rigueur. But it almost seems they'd had a corporate training on how to provide that and something was lost in translation. Here's what I mean: it is typical in the south for a waitress to call you "honey" or "hon." Folks from the north might find that weird, but around here, it's acceptably charming. You may get variations. It could be "babe," "baby," or even "pumpkin" if the waitress can pull those off. "Sweetheart" or "sweetie" would certainly work. Our waitress kept calling my wife or me "my love." It was just weird. It is too affectionate of a pet name. Too familiar. And so it just came off a little forced. She even said it like she was remembering from her training to tack it on to the end of a sentence. Not natural at all. There were a couple other confusing service moments. One was when my wife requested Splenda and creamer for her coffee. The waitress clarified that she would bring those separately. She meant that my wife would have to put them in her own coffee... which is so obviously how that works that we were confused and thought she meant she would have to make separate trips to our table to bring the Splenda, then the creamer, as if they were components of a bomb that couldn't be placed in close proximity. Oh, and after we paid, she forgot to hand my wife her credit card back, and had to run out to our car and catch us to give it back. Now, I want to be clear: our waitress was a nice young lady who was clearly trying her best to provide pleasant and efficient service. She did a great job of that. But between over-explaining obvious things and calling us "my love" repeatedly, it just came off kind of strange in a memorable way. I hope this is just corporate-store, newly-trained growing pains. I can stand a weird pet name, though, if it means the Waffle House is clean and my food is cooked perfectly. So I'll be returning to this location.

    For most, a Waffle House is a Waffle House, but the crew and chefs make this one special. Today's all-girl staff took care of the business serving up a seriously tasty cheesesteak omelet and crispy hash browns to order. Spotlessly clean, this Waffle House is above-the-bar for food, service, and most of all friendliness. Listening to the chatter makes me feel like I'm in my grandma's kitchen on the farm.

    Very good food in an upscale setting. It was perfect place to celebrate birthday!…read more OLD FASHIONED was very good. Good bourbon with quality ingredients,b perfectly made. We started with an appetizer of BAKED GOAT CHEESE WITH ROLLS. It was really good. Cheese was typed with something like a maranera sauce. It was tasty but I would have preferred to out the tomato sauce. Enjoyed my SIDE SALAD which came with many toppings including bacon. I asked to leave the blue cheese off, which normally comes on it. The RIBS were out of this world!!! Melted off the bone. The BBQ sauce was phenominal. There were a ton of ribs. It is certainly a plate that could be shared. I took half home as leftovers. I selected the MAC AND CHEESE as my side. They have a version with pork, which sounds amazing, but decided it would be too much when paired with ribs. Super creamy and cheesy. Rich but not too rich. Staff was friendly and attentive, and contributed to the elegance of the evening.

    Pros: Good location with free parking…read moreAmbiance is nice in sunroom area Friendly service Enjoyed the grilled Brie and truffle butter Cons: Caesar had dressing though I asked for it on the side Filets were under seasoned and over cooked Seafood tasted like it came out of a can My friend's steak had to be sent back 3x to be cooked correctly Pro tip: I was highly disappointed by this restaurant. To pay as much as we did, I expected so much more from the food. Perhaps the other dishes are better.

I'm from the west coast and I've had my fair share of Hawaiian food and I can only imagine how good it would've been it the driver and delivery service would have done their jobs correctly. When I'm back in town I can't wait to come in and give this place another shot.

Spam was a little salty (duh, that's to be expected) but well fried. The fried sunny side up egg was amazeballs too, so rich and runny. Fries were hot and crispy as well, but honestly the spam and eggs (which also came with sticky rice and macaroni salad) was so filling that I barely touched the fries. This delicious smorgasbord was only 9 dollars! My colleague had the juicer, which is mahi mahi with cabbage slaw and spicy mayo. He also got the Hawaiian style fries. Topped with spicy mayo, sweet soy, house chili sauce, green onion, and sesame seed, this is an extravagant dish! He enjoyed it. My other colleague got spam musubi is spam and sweet soy on sticky rice, wrapped in seaweed. He says it's his favorite dish from there. Other dishes include kalua pork (Hawaiian bbq sauce), teriyaki chicken, grilled tofu, coconut shrimp, and katsu, which is panko fried pork with their house sauces. For a meal out of the ordinary, give Big Kahuna a try. They say they have the "second best fish sandwich in town!" (Charlie's claims the first spot).

This is a Comfort Food Place with friendly people and large portions of really good food at great prices. Cheap drinks. Horse Racing on the TVs, as well as other sports and such. My wife and I went last month on a whim as we were in the area (it's a bit of a drive for us) and ran into 4 people we knew on a Thursday night. It's a small dive of a place, so that was 10% of the crowd. I've been several times for lunch but this was my first dinner. They have a standard menu with a good bit of variety and a lot of great desserts. But, they also have daily specials. For my lunch visits, there are usually 5-8 options and when they're gone, that's it. For dinner... I swear there were 25 options handwritten on the damn chalkboard. It was insane. What do I get!? I got the frog legs. My wife got the standard menu cheeseburger. Both as delicious as the fish platter, the open faced roast beef, and every other thing I've gotten here. Home Cooking my friend, and I mean food you want to eat. This ain't no health club, this ain't no disco, this ain't no foolin' around. It isn't fancy, it isn't pretty, it's old. And, I'd go there 3 nights a week if it was within a 10-minute drive.

    The food was amazing. Very cool decorations. Try the fried green tomatoes they were deliciousread more
