A soup and sandwich joint with lots of baked goods -- that's Blue Sky…read more It was a cold and drizzly day when I visited, and a bowl of butternut squash soup was the perfect thing. I also got The Yardbird sandwich after the server recommended it. It's basically just chicken salad and lettuce between a ciabatta roll, but it was simple and great. And what the heck: I can't visit a bakery that has multiple sweets without getting one. I also listened to the advice of the server when she recommended the orange scone. She was right again! It was tender and tasted like a Froot Loop. Blue Sky is located on the corner of a busy street. There are lots of tables, but if you can, sit at the bar that looks out onto the street to see the hustling and bustling college town.

First time trying Kenney's and it was pretty decent. We…read moreorder 2 burgers (basically regular burgers with some kind of sauce on them) and fries. The burgers were great had a sweet taste with sauce. The fries were just right, not over or under cooked, and the salt amount was just right. The staff were ok, nothing to report good or bad. The ambiance was great felt just like a mom and pap dinner. Only complaint was they could maintain the building better. But is clean and safe. Overall, very good and definitely worth a stop.

My 6yo daughter had the waffles, I got the twoseez which was basically toast, scrambled eggs and bacon (which said daughter took), pre-teen son had a bagel sandwich, and wife had an omelette. My wife's omelette was extremely flavorful. What really made it wonderful was the owner's kindness and honesty. Knowing we were tourists asked us what we planned on doing and when mentioning the near by safari park, he said "oh don't play to feed the animals" which was exactly what we needed our kids to hear because two week prior the kids had a field trip to a petting zoo and my daughters class including her all got sick and I didn't want a repeat of that on our vacation... so thank you dude. But also he gave some insider info on where else to go around and that was also appreciated.

I wasn't even in the mood for beer, but came here anyways and was shocked…read more I went with a friend for dinner here as the options are super limited in Lexington VA. I was already not in the mood for anymore drinking after spending a weekend in a major tournament in Lynchburg. Anyways, for a Saturday evening, this place was pretty packed both inside and outside. We both ended up getting a flight of beers each and every one was great. The food surprised me as my fish tacos was super fresh. The chips and queso was also great. Overall, a must see - especially for the view of the mountains if you decided to eat outdoors.

Brewery # 445…read more Devil's Backbone is a very large operation it seems. They make beer, the make bourbon, and they make food. They just do them all very slowly or at least they did when I was there. We came here on a Monday evening, and it was somewhat busy but there were visible empty tables and a couple spots at the bar. We went to the bar and waited awhile before the bartender asked what we wanted. I didn't ask for a flight because he seemed too busy. Whatever I wanted they were out of, but I ended up with an Imperial 16-point IPA which was quite tasty. I also got some chicken nachos, but I had to go stand in line to order them. They were adequate but not worth the wait. The place was very disorganized. They had workers always standing by the hostess desk, but the bartender was overwhelmed. Seemed like they should have had more than one, after all it is a brewery. Would have loved to try more beer but we just left and went back into Lexington for another round at another place. I don't know maybe it was just a bad night.

Reading the reviews before, I won't bore you with stories of their awesome jams, etc. except to say…read moreI bought Hopping Frog Jam and man is it good! We also bought a couple of pounds of fresh ground sausage and I'm reasonably sure Jimmy Dean wishes he made it this good. It was NOT fatty at all, mild spices, NO GRISTLE - just a nice mild sausage that I can't wait to eat more of and I wish now I'd seen if they had any hot sausage. We enjoyed a fresh sandwich, made to order, and like somebody commented, I saw candies that took me back at least 45 years to childhood. If I said once while I was there, I said it at least ten times - "Hey, I remember those!" We finished up our order with free samples of the hoop cheese, which meant he sold a pound of that also. It was the owner and his wife, as there was pictures up on the wall of them with their family. Unpretentious, kind, and friendly - I wish I lived down the street from them. Don't miss it - if you wait too long, I'm afraid like everything else good in America, it'll be replaced with some corporate-owned gas station.

This place looked very promising based on the reviews, but unfortunately the experience was…read moredisappointing from the moment we walked in. The host greeted us with a very sour attitude and was anything but welcoming. She slammed our silverware onto the table and immediately made everyone in our party feel uncomfortable. The food was average at best, and the menus were sticky with grease, which didn't leave a great impression. To top it off, the wine glasses were so thick they reminded me of my grandmother's eyeglasses. Overall, it just wasn't a pleasant dining experience, and I wouldn't return.

Wow! What a fantastic meal!…read more We arrived early enough to snag a table outside, where we enjoyed the beautiful weather and some great people-watching while we ate. We started with the Fried Brussels Sprouts with Dijon-rum glaze, candied pecans, rum-soaked cherries, and chives. Hands down, the best Brussels sprouts we've ever had! The combination of sweet and savory flavors was amazing. For my entrée, I ordered the Korean Rice Bowl with carrots, marinated cucumber, avocado, bunashimeji mushrooms, a sunny-side-up egg, and gochujang sauce. I added the Panko Crusted Seared Ahi (other protein options included steak, grilled or fried chicken, and lobster tail). The ahi was incredible--deliciously crispy on the outside and beautifully rare on the inside. I loved the combination of flavors and textures in this dish! My partner had the Smash Burger with cheddar cheese, grilled onions, and special sauce, served on a gluten-free bun. He passed on the optional egg and bacon, and the burger was delicious just as it was. He offered me a bite, so I can vouch for that! His burger came with Hand Cut Fries seasoned with shallot, garlic, and parsley. We shared those, and they were perfectly cooked, with a wonderful flavor and plenty of garlic--which we love! We finished with the Crème Brûlée, which was just the right size for dessert. I especially appreciated that it was served in a wide, shallow ramekin, giving it the perfect ratio of crisp, caramelized sugar to creamy custard. The custard was silky smooth, delicious, and not overly sweet. A wonderful way to end the meal! The service was friendly and efficient throughout the meal, making the experience even better. Everything we ate was outstanding, and we'll definitely be back the next time we're in Lexington!

Service was fantastic, the menu was super creative, including the cutest drink names. The food was impeccable. If this place looked and smelled like a dive bar, I'd still go back for the food. I'm not a raw fish person but my husband got the tuna tostada and made me try it, and it was great! The lamb chops were perfectly cooked and the sauce, carrots, and pistachios were the perfect complement. The steak sandwich was drool worthy as well.
