    Delicious cabbage, greens, mac and cheese and corn bread

    Good service, good prices and good food. A mom and pop shop with a friendly staff, good music and food good for the soul! Stopped through while passing through Lexington. Owner is also the cook! The cabbage and greens were my favorite!

    I've been here a few times. I don't eat soul food regularly, just once in a while. I do think this is the best soul food in Lex though! They have a lot of options of what to get that change. Pick a meat and 2 sides. Eat there or order on the phone if you're more of a regular. I went just a little before Thanksgiving and got this Turkey and gravey with stuffing and cabbage. Very good and satisfying. A little saltier than I'd prefer, but that's common with restaurants. Will go again the next time I'm craving soul food. I've dined in once with a friend, and gotten take out 3 times I think.

    This place is soooooo good! Went to Blue Skillet with my family and tried the Salmon croquettes with macaroni and cheese and green beans. The mac and cheese was delicious!!! The croquettes were full of flavor. I will definitely be coming back to try more or take care of any cravings! The service was friendly and pretty fast for how busy they were. We came in at the lunch rush. Small parking lot but street parking is available.

    We've got 3 kids 4,3,and 1 year olds and I'm pregnant with our 4th. Was so tired of fast food & other restaurants, craving some country cooking. This place NAILED IT. There was NOTHINg left on our plates. I got the salmon cakes (croquettes) dinner with greens and pan fried cornbread (cornbread batter fried like a pancake---out of this world!). Also ordered the baked beans & potato salad and they were !!!! Hubby ordered the steak & shrimp ( he's a steak snob and said this steak & shrimp was AMAZING several times. He wants to order it again next time. Our boys loved the steak & shrimp but also loved the chicken tenders & fries & Mac n cheese too! Now the people & service matched the food. Friendly people that welcomed our rowdy bunch in like family (no high chair for the 1yo but he ran around the place & made friends with everyone and no one minded. We felt SO at home here). This place needs franchised it's so good. Blows everything I've had in Lexington out of the water. We WILL be back to Lexington, even if it's just to eat here!! So so good!

    I'm so happy I found this jewel in Lexington. It's a small family-owned business where Chef Blue welcomed us with a huge smile. The menu is small but top-notched with flavor and pizzazz.

    First visit, but the Blue Skillet has been open for six years. How can I have missed this?!?! The food is awesome. Standards like salmon croquettes are taken to the next level by the skills of Chef Robert. I had one of the specials, glazed smoked lamb chops. Traditional soul food sides of mac&cheese, greens, green beans, skillet potatoes, and a Johnny cake compliment the meal. Great place to bring friends and enjoy food or carry out meals and treat your family.

    Great place to grab lunch. Went during SoulFeast and we will be back. Come support this local business. Blue was a nice man, and an even better cook.

    Fun little place tucked back off 7th Street showcases absolutely authentic soul food, highlighted by super friendly service! Open for lunch and dinner. We had the baked chicken, and also relished the home-fried potatoes and onions, green beans and greens.

    You must go taste this food for yourself!!! Don't do it for me do it for yourself! This food will hug your whole soul. I'll be back VERY soon!!!! Also don't forget to order some money tea! This drink seals the deal.

    This little hole in the wall is perfect for a quick southern bite to eat. I will say the people are great and the food is made fresh to order (which is amazing). I ordered the fried pork chops, side of cabbage, and a side of green beans. The sides were so yummy but the portions for the sides were small. In other news, the food was good. I will definitely be going again.

    Food was great, salmon croquets were really good, and the cornbread was amazing. I will definitely be back.
