    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.

    Guys working didn't have a clue! One person was there when I went in and both worked on that order before even taking my order.

    While out shopping, the movies, and enjoying a great day in Lexington, the Fat Man and his wife…read moredecided to get a late lunch. We swung into Southern Cookhouse & Bar. Southern Cookhouse features scratch-made dishes using local ingredients, a variety of burgers, pizzas, and classic Southern entrees. I started with the Chicken & Sausage Gumbo because I love soup and all soup-adjacent things. The gumbo had a good, rich flavor from the roux, with subtle heat and a sweet finish. The chicken had a nice flavor, a little saltiness, and it was tender. The Andouille sausage was cooked well and rounded out the flavor profile. The tomatoes and scallions added brightness and crunch. The rice had a few hard pieces, but overall it was good. I do want to mention that I did find a few chicken bones in the dish, just so people are aware. My wife tried the Dunwoody Cobb, made with Grilled chicken breast, boiled eggs, bacon, avocado, tomato, and blue cheese crumbles, with spring mix tossed in Dijon vinaigrette. The lettuce was crunchy and fresh. The bacon had a great salt level, crunch, and crispiness. The avocado added a creamy richness to each bite, while the tomato's acidity cut through the Dijon mustard's sweet and bitter notes. The star of the show was the salty, nutty, creamy blue cheese crumbles, which meshed well with all the other components. The chicken was cooked well and had good flavor, but it was dry. While I avoided it, my wife said the boiled egg was well-cooked and added it to the salad. I had the Nashville Hot chicken, which comes with spicy pickles, coleslaw & mayo on slider rolls with potato salad. The potato salad was mustard-and-mayo-based. The potatoes were soft but still offered some texture. The mustard and mayo balanced each other and added flavor. There were eggs in the potato salad, but they blended into the background and did not stand out. The sweet pickle relish added crunch and texture without being overly sweet. I'm not sure if it was made in-house or from a container; it was good nonetheless. The slider was fresh, soft, and nicely toasted. The slaw was medium-chopped, with a great mayo ratio and a good sweetness, tasting fresh, crunchy, and creamy without being so rich as to drown out the vegetables or the chicken. The pickle was not spicy, but a thick-cut bread-and-butter type with a little sweetness and a velvety, buttery flavor. The chicken was juicy, tender, and cooked well. The Nashville-style spices were mild to medium, just enough to know it was there but not so overpowering that it was all you tasted. It was not overly oily either, which often plagues sandwiches of this type. The entire sandwich worked well together. Southern Cookhouse has a full menu, but some items do rotate or are seasonal. The bar is fully stocked, offering draft beer, tea, and soft drinks. They offer counter ordering, and the staff is very friendly. The Fat Man says that Southern Cookhouse & Bar is Fat Man Approved with 2 chins.

I guarantee that you won't find a similar dish on anyone's menu. I love the gravy over the top of a chicken pot pie chimichanga. It is brilliant!! Anyway, they have great burgers and it's a great neighborhood bar. You should check it out. It is owned and operated by a family that lives in the neighborhood.

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.
