Though I really enjoyed the burger as takeout and was really tempted to try it super fresh, I went with the filet mignon. The filet was soooo tender, juicy, seasoned, and cooked as instructed (medium). The mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful. As previous, fries were hot and crispy (I ordered them as a side, too good to pass up). All of the drinks were refreshing and enjoyable. Our server, Brooklyn, was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. She was great!

Both experiences were great, but the High Street location edges out Hamburg as far as service goes. Don't get me wrong, Hamburg is great too, our server admittedly got in the weeds that evening and left us hanging when it came time for dessert and the check. Cocktails at both were delicious, love to see a seasonal cocktail menu with good seasonal fruits. Food quality both times was good as well; both times I was with a group, and everyone enjoyed their meal. Desserts were had both times and they were enjoyable too. Recommend! 14/26

Well, apparently I beat the breakfast rush because by 8:30, people were steadily pouring in! Families coming in for breakfast, customers grabbing takeout orders, and others settling in to eat. Mind you, it was only 8:30 on a SATURDAY morning and they just opened! The place is giving industrial-chic breakfast spot with a little urban character! I especially liked the hanging Edison-style lights, exposed brick, high ceilings, and the colorful skyline mural above the door. There's a nice mix of booths, smaller tables, and larger communal seating, plus garage-style glass doors that open onto an outdoor patio. They were closed during my visit since it was a chilly morning, but I imagine it's a great setup when the weather cooperates. Ordering is done at the counter, where you're given a number to take to your table, and your food is brought out once it's freshly prepared. I was impressed with how efficiently everything ran. Even with a steady flow of customers, the line moved incredibly quickly, orders were coming out promptly, and everything seemed very organized. I went with the Build Your Own Breakfast Sandwich, choosing a medium-fried egg, cheddar cheese, and smoked paprika aioli on a brioche bun, along with some hot tea. My sandwich arrived in about five minutes, piping hot, with perfectly melty cheese and a soft, delicious brioche bun. Simple, fresh, and exactly what I wanted for breakfast! They also have several other breakfast options, and can we talk about that bakery display for a second?! Fresh baked bread, Cinnamon rolls, caramel pecan pastries, croissants, and other sweet treats that looked absolutely delicious. Definitely tempting, especially when you're standing right there trying to place your order! Between the food, the atmosphere, and how smoothly everything ran despite the morning rush, DV8 Kitchen made a great first impression. A cute little breakfast find in Lexington, and I'd happily stop in again!

The wait was not long, but it was packed for 8:30 AM. You can tell it's a popular spot. We were seated in a tiny 2 person area and I was right next to an extinguisher. I thought that was a bit uncomfortable since it took from my already small sitting arrangement and I kept hitting it with my shoulder. Not the biggest deal. I was upset because the food is not terribly expensive, but for $17ish I ordered an omelette with two meats (sausage and bacon) and veggies, potatoes, and toast (Josie's Dad I believe it was called)... yet the omelette came with two tiny chunks of sausage. No meat, just veggies. The server came and she asked if something was wrong with our food, and if we were sure based on the look on my face. I honestly didn't want to fuss because it was very busy, so I didn't send it back. The food was okay; my husband enjoyed his pork chop. Overall I'd give it an 8/10 but not sure if I'd be back just yet.

Good price, good quality. No complaints there. For food, we had a mix at the table: fish, steak, and burgers. The fish was off. The texture was strange, almost like the skin had been left on even though it wasn't, and it had a fishy taste that just wasn't right. The burger, on the other hand, was very good and easily the best value of everything we tried. If I ever go back, that's probably what I'd order. The biggest disappointment was the service. Our server clearly wasn't having a good day, didn't seem interested in us, and let our drinks sit empty long enough that we had to wave him down just to get refills. It really took away from the experience. I'd give the place another shot, but if the next visit ends up feeling like this one, it'll probably fall off my list of places to go.

Nashville really turned us on to the biscuit breakfast so when we saw that Lexington had some choices we knew we had to try! We stopped into Biscuit Belly on a recent Wednesday morning on our way out of town and were greeted with the nicest staff, waiting to take our order. We had a few questions and the man at the register was super knowledgeable and extra kind!! When we stop into a new place, my husband and I enjoy ordering a couple of different options and sharing so we can both try more things in one visit! :) The biscuit belly choices made this difficult, so many items look amazing!! My husband ordered the Mama's boy and I ordered the Fire in your Belly! Both of the sandwiches were delicious! The Mama's boy had the most tasty jalapeño pimento cheese and the perfect accompaniment, a fried green tomato on top!! This was a great combo! The Fire in your belly felt like a more simple sandwich, with less on it, but the flavors went so well together, it ended up being our favorite!! The cheddar cheese really brought everything together so nicely!! Both also came with delicious pickles which doesn't sound like it fits into a breakfast entree, but it truly did!!! :) We enjoyed both the loaded tots and cheesy grits on the side! If you get a chance to stop into a Biscuit Belly sometime, I would definitely make your move!! ;) We don't have places like this up North and that's a sad, sad thing!!

Our friendly waiter kept things moving. It was happy hour (3-6pm) so we got drinks at a reduced price. The menu had so many tempting choices it was difficult to choose.

On a Sunday night, there was a wait, but we were able to snag two seats at the bar. The bartenders were great--I wish I remembered their names! They made some excellent food and drink recommendations and were very attentive. We started with a Caesar salad to share, which isn't pictured, and then ordered two pasta dishes that we absolutely devoured. Everything was delicious! The following day, we discovered that many restaurants are closed on Mondays, so we ended up at Carson's again. This time, we decided to check out the back porch. We were expecting a similar menu, but the back porch seemed to focus more on meat and fish options, while we were looking for sandwiches. So, we relocated to the main dining area at Carson's without a reservation. Thankfully, the hostess was able to seat us but let us know that we would need to be finished dining by 7 p.m., which wasn't a problem for us. Our server was great, and we started with the goat cheese appetizer, which was absolutely incredible! Unfortunately, my Buffalo chicken sandwich was drenched in Buffalo sauce to the point that I couldn't really enjoy it. My spouse and I also decided to share sides of the mac and cheese and smoked Gouda broccoli. I was pretty disappointed with both because they were heavily covered in truffle, which I personally don't like. Because of that, I wasn't able to enjoy my second meal here as much as I had hoped. Nonetheless, I would still recommend checking out Carson's. There are plenty of menu options, and our first experience was fantastic. Based on my two visits, though, I would strongly recommend making a reservation if you plan to dine here!

I ordered a iced latte and my friend got a regular coffee. Normally I would add sugar to my drink but yesterday I didn't because it didn't need it. I think that if you can make something as simple as drip coffee or pull a smooth espresso shot you're definitely doing something right. I haven't had a bad cold brew/espresso drink there yet. They really are consistent with the drinks. My friend also ordered a plain donut but ended up with the cronut which she's not crazy about. They did try to fix the situation and gave her a keto donut. It goes a little sideways for me I did try the Keto donut and it was a nope for me. The glaze was really good but as for the plain Keto donut it was dry and crumbly.

Really the kind of place you want to see in your town. Food is delicious, the whole menu is clearly put together with thought and the ingredients are, I'll say it, phenomenal! So many types of breads for their sandwiches, for instance. I got the steak bahn mi, and that is a bread centric, fresh ingredient sandwich, and my god it might be the best bahn mi I've ever had! You'd think it came from a Vietnamese place in downtown LA or something. 18 dollars, not mad at it at all. Wish it had a side but we'll forgive... The beer menu, same thing. Not boring, not frilly. Had a seasonal pumpkin ale, loved it. They also have seasonal cocktails, similarly thought out- planteray rum instead of morgan, example A. Example B a guava margarita. 15 dollars but it should be 15 dollars. Vibes are nice, maybe a little burger counter meets a hotel lobbyish, but the bar is solid. It's got a garage door that opens up when the weathers right. The wifi is fast and it has the appropriate amount of TVs. Staff is all good at their job. Right now I have Stephanie behind the bar, personable and attentive but not overbearing. Music is good and not too loud. OVERALL: Man PHENOMENAL spot.
