    Stopped in again the other day for the salad and pizza buffet. Was seated immediately and the friendly staff brought out drinks out quickly. Salad bar always has a ton of options, but I wish they had the available dressings labeled. Always face the classic pizzas, cheese, pepperoni, veggies, and a few not so typical topping combos here and there. Each time I come they seem to have a different dessert pizza available as well. Bathrooms have always been clean, never seems to get too noisy in the dining area, and laying at the end is quick and easy. Pizza quality is definitely better than most chains, but not wood fire/brick oven level. But for the price, you can't beat it!

    Onion Rings

    Stopped in, first time in months. Service was slow but not too slow. Ordered Sub and Onion Rings. Server forgot OF brought FF instead. Back to kitchen. Onion Rings were so greasy and as shown, burnt beyond recognition. Had 2, rest were terrible. Food quality has slid downhill dramatically since my last visit. Probably lost my business!

    Hanging out in Lexington so we stumbled upon Christi's Original and decided too stop in. The parking lot was pretty full, but there was still plenty of parking. The first impression is so crucial to a business which is why you need a good host at the door greeting and seating the customers. The host that seated us was dull and cold. She could have been better if she just cared a little. Now our waitress Mandy was full of energy and very attentive. The food was really good. There were quite a few pizza selections but there was no way to tell what some of them were topped with, and for vegetarian and non pork eaters that was a concern. There was a lady who did her best to stand behind the counter and tell what the different pizzas were; (in between restocking and cashing folks out). The salad bar is good, with lots of choices, but again there was no way to tell what meats were on display. The only complaint we had was that some of the food was not that hot. I would give them another try.

    Had the penne arrabbiata and loved the kick of heat it brought. The sauce was tangy and spicy but didn't overpower the rest of the dish. The pasta itself had a great texture and held up really well to the sauce. I added grilled chicken which was a good call. Staff were kind and didn't rush us even though it was a bit busy. The space was open and clean with a nice view of the kitchen. I'd absolutely come back to try another pasta next time.

    This is my first time at this location. We went for lunch and arrived around 1:30. There was about 15 to 20% of their tables and booths utilized at that time so not very busy at all. They had a salad bar and a pizza bar that also included dessert pizza! The salad bar looked fresh and had a pretty good selection of salad fixings.I ordered the steak and cheese wrap, which was good but also rather greasy. To be fair, my server told me that it was greasy when I was asking about recommendations but I still ordered it. I had hot chips with it, and they have the good ranch! (if you know, you know!) I'll have to go back and try their grilled chicken Caesar wrap, and also their wings which I hear are pretty great! Our server was very friendly, accommodating, and quick. I failed to get pictures of the menu, so I'll have to do that next time!

    Our server was great! She was very sweet. My Green beans were a little burnt so I spent majority of the time peeling off the breading. I also got the blackened chicken Caesar and it was sooooo salty and had so much dressing that my lettuce was soggy. The Inca and fries were good tho

    Christos pizza has become my favorite pizza place in Lexington. As a born and raised New Yorker Im so impressed by their pizza the cheese is so good. They also have great wings hood ranch and their mango dipping sauce is so good !

This looks like a little hole-in the-wall type of place, so I should've known it would be great! We got hotdogs all the way with no onions, I think they called them "regular." We also got fries and drinks. It was about $24 total, which isn't terrible compared to other hotdog places in the area. Everything was served piping hot and the hotdogs I would argue are my favorite of any in the area. They are a red hotdog and the white slaw and chili are almost sweet. It reminds me of the hotdogs I grew up eating at a local drive in restaurant back where I'm from. It is a walk-up stand and you're served at a window but you can take your food back to your car and eat in the air conditioning or take it back home with you. The lady taking orders was managing phone orders and in person orders while fixing drinks and calling customers up to get their food. I loved my visit to this little place and I'm going to definitely keep it in mind for lunches in the near future. Can't wait to go back soon!

    After our wonderful visit to Silwood Soap, her owner Amy suggested we stop by Bridgett's Kitchen…read more As soon as we mentioned to Bridgett that Amy had recommended her restaurant, she smiled, grabbed her phone, and said, "We have to send Amy a picture!" She took a selfie with me to send to her friend, and honestly, I thought that was one of the most heartwarming moments of our entire trip. It perfectly captured what we've experienced throughout Lexington: local business owners genuinely rooting for one another instead of simply doing business. Now, let's talk about the food. If you're looking for authentic barbecue done right, this place absolutely delivers. The smoked chicken was unbelievably juicy, with flavorful skin and just the right amount of smoke. The brisket burnt ends were another highlight. Rich, tender, deeply smoky, and finished with a generous drizzle of barbecue sauce that complemented the meat instead of overpowering it. Exactly the way it should be. The potato salad was creamy, chunky, obviously homemade, and seasoned just enough to let every ingredient shine. The onion rings were perfectly crisp and light with a satisfying crunch, while the hush puppies were golden, tender on the inside, and absolutely delicious. Every side felt like it was made with the same care and attention as the barbecue itself. Every plate that came out of the kitchen looked generous and made with genuine care. This is the kind of barbecue that doesn't need elaborate presentation because the food speaks for itself. Hearty portions, perfectly smoked meats, classic sides executed exceptionally well, and the kind of meal that stays with you long after you've left the table. Thank you, Bridgett, for an unforgettable meal.

Another employee went to ring me up and I told her that the bacon was left off the sandwich. She ignored me and rang up the sandwiches. She did not offer to have it fixed, remake it, or take off the price of the bacon. She was annoyed that I told her about it. They round up the price and do not inform you beforehand that they are not going to give you the change the register says that they did.
