Fabulous. Delicious. Homestyle. What more could you want? We've never been here before but stopped by because of a recommendation - I'm glad we did! Biscuits and gravy is sublime. Even though the gravy is going to give me a gastro intestinal nightmare (I'm lacked toast and toddler ants) it's so delish' that I may even get seconds 🤔 Eggs are cooked well. Grits are savory and scrumptious. The beignet is soft, moist, and clearly the best alternative to a traditional donut.
We had carry out on Sunday cause on Saturday the place was soooo packed we figured we better just order and pick up. The omelet was small but the taste was huge. The shrimp and grits well just say I'll be driving back down to Lexington to sit in and enjoy.
I enjoy the huevos and beignets here- both are tasty! Shrimp and Grits are great and the Cure is a popular order in my family. The food is affordable and consistently good with nice portions, and I don't typically eat breakfast out. They have fun seasonal and holiday drinks and plates to try. Parking can be tricky due to the small lot, and if it's full, expect a wait. The service is usually wonderful, but the space is small and I'm not a fan of table sharing with strangers. I'm happy to wait with my crew for a table, but I've noticed on busy days some guests will say they are happy to share and then snag a table meant for those waiting. I understand this is hard to enforce and comes down to manners. Overall, this is a great local breakfast and brunch spot!
Great little place! Old gas station turned into cute little restaurant! Order at the counter, take a number and sit down to be served. Plenty of parking! Great menu and all food was cooked to order, came out quick, fresh & hot! Very clean and cool atmosphere. In our group, We had shrimp & grits with biscuit, sausage gravy & biscuits, BLT, pancakes & omelets. All of the food was delicious! The biscuit was buttered and grilled on the flat top, it was delicious! Staff was friendly & second was great! Plenty of parking in private lot and street parking! Bathroom is outside (it’s an old gas station), but very nice & clean!
We cannot express enough how wonderful and excellent our first visit to this Lexington mom and pops iconic restaurant was! The atmosphere was buzzing, lots of folks coming in and going out, the staff friendly, efficient and seemingly truly enjoying their jobs. We sat outside and it was delightful! Our food came out very quickly, it was presented perfectly, huge ample portions and the taste was superior, hot and fresh. This was extremely quality food. Our server was proficient, quick , energetic and very amicable. We couldn't be more pleased with this wonderful eatery and it has become for us a definite return place for us to eat. What a wonderful experience, well DONE, ‼️ The only very minor suggestion is we felt the indoor music was way too loud which was a bit too excessive for a breakfast/lunch crowd.
