A Lexington institution with a well established and deserving reputation for excellent service and delicious helpings in a family friendly atmosphere. Has great breakfasts as well as awesome lunches and dinners. Great omelets as well as unique sides- try the Jalapeno Grits! Extended hours from 8 am till 10 at night. Well worth a drive. Recommend!
Winchell's has been on my “need to try” list for over a year. I have always heard good things. We don’t live on that side of town, so we just made our way there recently. Honestly, my husband wanted to go somewhere else but since he couldn’t really decide where we ended up at Winchell’s. I have nothing but good things to say, and same for my husband. The server (Parker) was exceptional. He was genuine and kept our drinks filled. We started with the potato skins and as you can see from the picture they did not skimp on the toppings. When Parker brought out the meals he was even more impressive. I got the BBQ sandwich and after he sat it down he said. “You may want to check the bottom bun. They get soggy fast.” I checked and it was in fact soggy from the juices that had leaked from the BBQ. He brought me a new bun immediately. The BBQ sandwich was flavorful and the slaw and BBQ worked great together. Just a heads up I had to unlock my jaw to eat it. (not complaining) I also got the Macaroni & Cheese and it was super creamy and delicious. My husband got chili and wings. He liked the chili but loved the wings. He got buffalo flavor and asked the waiter if it was homemade and if they sell it by the jar. The answer was yes and yes as they sell it by the quart and pint. We didn’t get a jar that day but my husband has since went back to get a jar of the buffalo sauce.
There was a farmers market going on outside when we visited. I had pancakes, bacon and home fries. All three were cooked to perfection. Sweet tea was delicious. I also had a mimosa spiked with peach vodka and I’m going to wake one that way from now on all the time! Our waitress was very nice, took our orders quickly, made recommendations and was on top of making sure we enjoyed our meal. Atmosphere at this place is stellar. We are big soccer fans and didn’t know this was a soccer bar/ restaurant! Visiting from Columbus Ohio and will definitely be back. Thank you!
Love, local businesses, especially ones that have sustained decades of service to the community. Portions are large and Refills on coffee and water come quickly. Personally, I like that they use a better grade of wheat bread for the toast. And the country ham is legit. Not the thin kind - the good kind.
I had a chopped hamburger on a hoagie roll. With french fries and it was very good really nice portion the french fries were Krispy and everything was delicious. For dessert I had a coffee cheesecake that was tasty. The service was fast and the server was very knowledgeable about the menu.
What a cool spot! Our server was so nice and the food was excellent. Really enjoyed the ambiance and they have TVs everywhere. This looks to be an awesome place to watch a game or spend an evening with friends.
