The first night we ordered the stuffed cod and burgers, along with beers and soft drinks. Everything was fantastic. The food was flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly, and the service was quick and genuinely friendly. We liked it so much that we went back again the same weekend. The second time we had burgers, a club sandwich, fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese, a punch cocktail, a tall beer, and soft drinks -- and once again, everything was spot-on. Consistently great food and great service both times. We went in around 8:00 p.m. the first night, and the staff was cheerful and energetic -- you would have thought they had just started their shifts. That's a huge plus when dining a little later in the evening. Everyone we spoke to said it's a local favorite, and after our experience, we completely understand why. If we had more time in town, we probably would have eaten there a third time. Definitely a must-stop in Lexington!

Popped into Pure Eats for breakfast on my last day in Lexington. They serve breakfast all day…read more First: Get a donut! Or two donuts, like I did! They make the donuts in house, and they are super fresh in the morning. Their classic is the cinnamon sugar donut, but I also got a glazed and both were delicious. That and a cup of black coffee, and breakfast is set. But I thought it would be wise to get some protein, so I also ordered the avocado toast with an over-medium egg. The avocado toast is a single piece of wheat bread (or white bread, if you prefer) with a schmear of herbed cream cheese and mashed avocado (plus an egg if you add one). The avocado toast was good and simple. Pure Eats is housed in a former gas station, and you can tell because it looks like an old fashioned petrol place from the outside. Inside, the dining room is colorful and fun, with table and booth seating, as well as a high-top bar. The people who work here are so friendly, and we chatted about where I was from and where I was going.

The list of handhelds, wraps, burgers, wings, and many other "things" is nothing short of a novel and I mean that in the best possible way.

Their sandwiches are generously layered, perfectly seasoned, and not shy on the meat (thank you, Macado's!). The vibe? Casual and welcoming, like your favorite hangout spot that just happens to serve next-level lunch. I already can't wait to come back and order something new. Pro tip: bring your appetite and maybe a friend to swap bites with. You'll want to try something new.

We were asked if we had a reservation even though the entire restaurant was empty... um what? They said they could "fit us in." Ok... . We sat down in a very run down dining room and almost left when we saw the menu. Short ribs with rice? Some odd choices on there. I settled with the shrimp and grits. How bad could it be? Their beer bread is actually pretty tasty - it's kinda sweet and soft with a crunchy crust. But, our entrees were quite unappetizing and not good. My shrimp were pale and covered in a weird cream sauce with mushrooms and tomatoes. The grits were stiff with hardly any flavor. I had some shrimp shells on my plate too. My husband's Gumbo was just as sad. It looked like cafeteria food. His okra was soggy and flavorless and the rice was so over cooked. 4 stars??? Absolutely not!!! The only redeeming factor was the good service and friendly staff.

The Bloody Mary's were absolutely to die for (not overdone, simple and easy to go thru a few during our breakfast) and I'll be back just for this combination again of the eggs Benedict with Bernaise and a Bloody Mary. The ambience of Heywoods was easy to enjoy. We had a lovely breakfast full of lots of laughter and never felt like we were disturbing others nor did anybody else seem to be disturbed or disrupted by the fun we were having at our table.
