I don't know why I'm just now sharing this almost 3 years later, but I was just thinking about this place today and it made me want food from here! Unfortunately, I live in Indiana so I cannot jump in the car and go here but this place is truly amazing. When I ate there, the burger I remember having was so juicy, the fries crispy, all just so good. I will return here sometime soon! Please stay open and never close your doors lol!

So happy we found this spot and tried it out while we were on a mini vacation. Our hotel was about 15 minutes from here and the drive was scenic and easy. We got 2 different appetizers, burgers and a kids meal and everything was delicious and came out quickly. Service was great and friendly from entering until leaving. We were able to sit outside, it was absolutely beautiful on the patio. Highly recommend if you are traveling and looking for a good place and don't have a clue where to go, Go Here !!

Stop here and get great food, friendly service and magnificent views of the Blue Ridge. Perfect stop for our road trip with a big group. We ate outside on the patio to stretch our legs and get as much time in the mountains as possible. Great burgers, salads, slaw, and fried green tomatoes. Oh and the salt n vinegar waffle fries were delish. Thanks for the great service too!

Came here for dinner (on 7/25/2024) with my family and boyfriend before our drive back home to our hometown and was not disappointed at all!!! I absolutely love the atmosphere, it’s such a cute little local restaurant! The service is also AMAZING even though there was a sign on the door saying they’re currently understaffed. Our waitress was patient, sweet, and answered all of our questions with kindness. They were pretty busy when we first came in and they still got our food out in a timely manner, not to mention all of our dishes were DELICIOUS! 10/10 would recommend this place and would def come back on our next trip to Lexington.
