I don't know what seasoning they use on the fries but its so good! The food came out piping hot and fresh. They don't skimp on the portions. She ended up taking the rest home with her. The chicken tenders were so hot She had to wait a few minutes before she could eat them. The food is always consistent every time we go. The store has several tables to sit at if you choose to stay and eat. The tables as well as the store was clean. The man at the register was friendly and he did let us know when her food was ready. They have a huge selection of beverages including beer. And the soft serve ice cream is really good as well.

This is a fully functional restaurant and or cafe style place. They have a great menu. The menu is seasonal. It's not simple by any standards. In fact it's a great little high end place for garden parties. But today it's just two simple individuals that are having lunch in a garden together. Now we had some sort of special lunch arrangement with hummus and a Greek like salad. It was fresh and delicious. They have great coffee offerings. You must have the flavored gelato with coffee. We had the hazelnut one. It's delicious especially on these hot humid summer days. The service was great. Not being from the area they had to explain the menu to us. A few times. But all went well. They make the gelato offerings as soon as they are ordered. The food they call at the end, eventually. It's made to order. Now where else can you eat in a green house garden? Here in Lexington! This was a first for us. They have all sorts of Sunday concerts while you dine. Music among the trees and flowers. Wow! You can come to poetry readings and relax as you hear the love of someone's works. I'll see you at the Garden next time.

The sausage was a bit overdone/ dry, but not too bad. My friend had the avocado toast which looked delicious. If you dig neighborhood places, stop in. You will love it.

Have eaten here a handful of times the past couple weeks and the selections are either hit or miss…read more Before I tell you what decent items to get, let me get the not so good items out of the way. First off, do not get the sliced pizza! It tastes like the cardboard that it comes in. Secondly, do not get the nachos! I knew from the moment that they offered fried rice to go along with beans, ground beef, sour cream, white cheese sauce, salsa, and guacamole that something was not right! The ground beef had no flavor whatsoever, like all they did was cooked it and did not bother to season it. The only things that had any flavor was the sour cream and beans. Now where the nachos are located they usually have different items everyday at station. The pizza is always at the same spot. They have other stations like a deli and salad area but I have yet to get items from there so I can't say anything about it. As for the good stuff, the one location they have has cheese burgers, grilled chicken burgers, hot dogs, fish sandwiches, and chicken tenders. Some of their notable sides are mac n cheese, onion rings, sweet potato fries, and regular fries. This spot is my go to if the other stations don't look appealing. The grilled chicken they use for the sandwich is actually a decent size and not dry at all. The onion rings are crispy and not as greasy as you think it would be. As for service, you tell them what you want and they put it in a container for you and you pay on the way out. Plenty of tables and chairs for you sit down and enjoy your food. As for the location, this place is a little bit of an adventure to find. As you come in through the main entrance, there are really no signs telling you where this place is. So as you come in through the main entrance, go to your right and you can either take the stairs or the elevator to the second floor. There you will see the "Cafe Central" sign. As for the hours I have posted a pic so you can refer to it. Hours are a bit weird so make sure you take a look at it before making your way. They also have a Cafe North which is on the first floor but is a smaller version in which they have hot foods as well. Yelp 2022 Review #24 875 overall

This is the main cafe inside of Baptist Hospital. All of the doctors and nurses eat here, but it…read moreseems somewhat hidden to visitors. It's not in a main area of the hospital, it's actually on the second floor and unless you're specifically searching for it, you're probably never going to run into it. My beloved aunt used to be a nurse at Baptist Hospital, so she filled my dad in on this hidden gem. Hopefully I just ate my last meal here. No offense to the cafe or the hospital, but I just don't want to be here. Today, Dad and I just ate breakfast here for the second morning in a row. He raved about the under priced biscuits and gravy at breakfast. The first morning, I wasn't hungry but I did try a few tater tots and they were great. The Heinz ketchup was an excellent compliment. They have the modern pumps of ketchup, mustard and barbecue sauce, all Heinz brand. This morning I got the premade tuna sandwich. One of the ladies behind the counter scalded the grill master for allowing me the purchase it though, so stick to breakfast food, don't be difficult like me. For dinner I had a hotdog and fries from the grill area. I really wanting chicken tenders but they were prepared and sitting under the warmer. The burgers were the same, I noticed them on the back grill sort of off to the side, already grilled but waiting to be warmed. Dad ordered a burger and it was warmed on the grill and served quickly, the grill master has the quickness thing down to an art. Overall, I think everything and the extensive choice excel for hospital food. Impressive.

We had a family gathering of 9 folks with an 11 am reservation. They had the table set up for us…read moreand our server, River was excellent. She was efficient, polite and helpful. The space is small but bright and cheerful and very comfortable. Located in a strip mall there was amlpe parking. It was super clean in the restaurant and the bathrooms. The food however was not impressive to my husband or myself. I have some dietary restrictions so ordered 2 scrambled eggs and an English muffin. I thought the 2 eggs, that only looked like one based on the serving for $5 was a bit overpriced. But the eggs were good, nothing special, just plain scrambled egg(s). I could not eat the English muffin, it was grilled, not toasted and was greasy, which didn't taste good. River did bring me some jam that I put on one half of the muffin but it did not sit well on my stomach due to the grease. My husband ordered the chicken and waffles. He did not care for either. I tasted his waffle and I too thought it was bland and dry. He said the chicken was greasy. It was a huge plate of food and he brought 2 of the 3 pieces of chicken home that we ended up throwing away. It was never really crowded which afforded us the opportunity to sit and visit for about 3 hours so that was ideal. The chicken and waffles (from the brunch menu) came with a buffet of pastry. 5 of our party had brunch items that came with the buffet and one one of them ate a muffin from that buffet. All brunch items were priced at $25. Again, I think a bit expensive for chicken and waffles. I doubt that I would ever go back but if I did it would be for coffee and maybe a pastry.

A third member ordered the Crispy Chicken salad with honey mustard.

It was really good but not spicy at all. But the most disappointing part of my meal were the mashed potatoes! I didn't think anybody could go wrong with mashed potatoes!

I will say the noise level was on the louder side which is why I decided to sit outside . Well and to pet the cat as well! The line had 3 customers in front of me but went quickly. The man at the register was friendly enough. I didn't wait long for the barista to call my name. I just ordered a basic iced latte but they have a variety of espresso based flavored drinks like s'mores that sounded really good. The condiment area was well stocked and clean and the empty tables were clean as well. The space itself is designed very nicely and its cozy yet spacious at the same time. They have a pastry case with a variety of items that looked really good however I didn't get any. I sat out front in their garden for a little while and I was the only one sitting outside so it was peaceful. Their landscaping is done tastefully and its pleasing to the eye. As for parking I can't comment on that as I walked from where we live. On a sidenote its literally around the corner from Wilson's Grocery. That's pretty convenient.

For 2019, Selma's Catering and Events has the commission and is making some excellent food out of a barely serviceable food prep area. In the carriage house, the take-out style place has one table inside and three or four tables outside. The staff is very warm and hospitable, but easily overwhelmed by a crowd (we were 8 and a sandwich was forgotten - of course, for the wrong person in our group to have that happen to). The food was excellent. I had a taste of the Henry Clay, which is homemade pimento cheese on wheat bread with tomato jam and plenty of bacon. Imagine sweet and creamy with a salty crunch, and you may have a glimmer into this wonderful sandwich. The BLT was a classic and was absolutely loaded with bacon. The LOs' turkey sandwiches were incredibly generous. I had the Go West Young Man Salad, which was an entire sliced chicken breast with pineapple, strawberries and walnuts over chopped romaine. Served with balsamic vinaigrette, the salad was crisp and refreshing. DM had the homemade chicken salad served on crisp romaine, rather than a tomato, which was also good. Moist chicken with plenty of crunchy veg in a creamy dressing made for an excellent lunch plate. I highly recommend coming to the Ginkgo Tree Café, especially if Selma's Catering and Events has the commission.

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!
