Fries
Jaewon K.

Love the open concept, cozy vibes. Burger was great, loved the curry dipping sauce w the fresh fries. Empanadas were good, had packed filling but mildly dry pastry. Love the Arcadium bar being next door. Main complaint is food feels overpriced

Chicky wings

This place is tiny but the food was fantastic! We stopped by on a Saturday evening (around 5:30ish) after a recommendation from a coworker. They were only taking reservations at that point but they offered to bring us food if we sat in the bar (Arcadium) which was super nice of them. The actual restaurant itself had about 6 counter seats and a larger table that sat maybe 6-8, so definitely plan ahead if you want a reservation. We tried the empanadas (black bean), chicky wings, and stoofvlees. The empanadas were cooked well but we wanted a bit more flavor from them; the chili sauce they came with was spicy and delicious though. The Chicky wings were SO GOOD! Perfectly crispy and had great flavor. The real star was the stoofvlees, which was reminiscent of a poutine without the cheese curds. It was amazing, the meat melted in your mouth, the fries were crispy, and it was a perfect meal for a cold night. We were both full after everything and the portions were pretty generous so you could definitely split a few things. I think the menu changes so I can't wait to try something else next time.

I almost don't want to write a review for this place because if everyone else finds it, there won't be space for me! This is a very small place with limited seating (call/reserve ahead) but the food is new, local, unique and SUPERB. Really, an enthusiast's dream. Get your drinks going in the back door of Arcadia after you place your order. Don't go here because it is maybe the best food in town and there isn't much seating and I need space at the bar! Don't take my seat!

THE gem of Lexington! Heard of Favor through word of mouth and blew expectations. Try every dish while you can since the menu rotates based on the passionate chef who you see perform on his stage (the kitchen) as you eat. The most perfect spot.

Empanadas

This place is a little gem! I've seen several people talk about this place and it's been on the list. First off it's a really cute little place, indoor seating is small bar style seating and a newly built outdoor patio. The building is talk and the tree gives you a nice shade and a variety of tables allow small or large groups. There are two ways to order, first through toast or going in and ordering. The staff was super friendly, answered all of our questions, and checked on us several times. We tried a few items and everything we had was great with good pricing! I was pleasantly surprised by the variety of items there as I had really only seen people posting about the burgers. The tempura asparagus was delicious with a flavorful light batter and the sauce is the best tempura sauce I've had! The cheeseburger reminds me of an in and out style burger, perfectly cooked and crispy. Their special sauce mixed with what I think is a fresh bun, flavorful burger and crunch lettuce and onions was the perfect Friday night burger. Oooh the fries, thin and perfectly cooked with curry ketchup that I didn't expect to like put it over the top! I could have eaten the whole order by myself. The surprise of it all was the bunuelos, it took me straight back to being in San Antonio Texas for a perfectly cooked crispy and cinnamon treat. I highly recommend going if you haven't been.

Watermelon salad with shaved goat cheese

One of the most unique dining experiences in town! Small kitchen with one chef and one server. Definitely not a good place for big groups but it's an adorable place for a small date night or double date. Their burger was phenomenal, and their beet dip and watermelon salad were so fresh and light. You could tell everything was made from scratch

Favor never disappoints. Small. Intimate. Delicious. Highly recommend the Compressed Melon and Sweet Corn Pasta. Luckily I was able to get the Mexican Hot Chocolate Ice Cream before the new menu change! Always a fantastic variety that is seasonally curated.

Yummy orange tart to top of a delicious meal!

I was truly stunned by the incredible bourbon/whiskey selection at OBC. They have over 800 unique…read moreoptions and the talented/educated staff to match in order to guide you through the selection process. The shear number of bottles on the bar will keep your eyes moving about and hard to focus on anything else. For food, I had the wagyu meatballs and couscous salad. Both were well sized and utterly delicious. I'll be back here again for sure

Every year, while driving between Chicago and Florida, we make a tradition of stopping in Lexington…read moreto take our friend out for dinner. This visit marked our third time at OBC Kitchen, and once again, it did not disappoint. This time we experimented with timing and booked an early reservation at 2:45 pm on a Saturday. We crossed over into the dinner menu and discovered something wonderful: the service and ambiance were even better than the busier evening hours after 6 pm. The staff was exceptionally attentive. Every dish and cocktail option was explained thoughtfully, which I appreciate, especially because I enjoy cocktails that come with a bit of theater. When drinks are presented with care, described well, and executed beautifully, the experience becomes part performance, part craft. Here, they delivered perfectly. The food, as always, was superb. We shared several chef selections including Beef Tallow Fries, Southern Grouper, Bacon in a Glass, and the Cola-Braised Short Ribs. Each dish was rich, flavorful, and confidently executed. Dessert continued the celebration with the Churro Cheesecake, and to our delight we were also gifted the Warm Buttermilk Donuts, which felt like a small act of culinary generosity. In a departure from my usual Manhattan and Old Fashioned flights, I tried a Bloody Mary and The Cure, both excellent and beautifully balanced. At this point I can confidently say OBC Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the country. The consistency, creativity, and hospitality make every visit memorable. A special thank you to the team who took care of us on Saturday, March 7th, 2026. You elevated an already wonderful experience and made it even better than usual.

We had an absolutely fantastic evening at J. Alexander's in Lexington, celebrating both a birthday…read moreand a 10th anniversary in one unforgettable night. The ambiance is the perfect blend of modern sophistication and warm, cozy comfort--you really have to see (and feel) it for yourself. The service was outstanding from start to finish. Every server we encountered was polished, deeply knowledgeable about the menu, and full of spot-on recommendations. We were especially fortunate to have Richard--a manager of the restaurant personally greet us and set the tone for the evening. From the moment we walked in, his genuine warmth and attentiveness made us feel like honored guests rather than just another table. The food was nothing short of spectacular. The Maui ribeye steak--marinated to perfection and cooked exactly as ordered--was tender, juicy, and bursting with that signature sweet-savory island flavor--was one of the best steaks any of us have ever had. Equally impressive was the ahi tuna salad: beautifully seared rare tuna slices over crisp greens, drizzled with just the right amount of citrus-soy vinaigrette, and finished with crunchy wontons and avocado. Light yet completely satisfying, it was the ideal contrast to the richness of the steak. Everything about the evening--the atmosphere, the impeccable service led by Richard, and the flawless execution of dishes like the Maui steak and ahi tuna salad--made our double celebration feel truly special. We left already planning our next visit. J. Alexander's didn't just meet expectations; it exceeded them in every possible way.

Love the apps here. One of my favorite places for appetizers in lex area. Great variety of options…read more Service is always great here. Love having the patio option in the shade on nice weather days. They have lots of great cocktail options and the meal is always tasty.
