Visited Kenney's while traveling from Washington D.C. to North Carolina. It was easy enough to get to off of 81 and equally as easy to get back to 81 after your meal. It was a Friday at lunchtime and there was almost a line out the door. The line moved relatively quickly. I'll say it is kinda hard to see the whole menu from the far right side of the counter where you place your order. The order process itself is quick and easy then grab a seat and wait for your order to be called. This is one of those places where they shout your whole order to the restaurant when it is ready so...just be aware. LOL I got a snack pak with mac and cheese and a hot dog with chili and mustard. The hot dog was pretty basic but good. Chili was slightly sweet and the bun was super soft. In the snack pack, I got a wing and a big thigh, mac and cheese, and a biscuit with honey. The mac and cheese was ok. This is runny mac and I prefer mac that holds its shape a bit more. Also, the side serving is pretty small. The biscuit is not what I'd typically call a biscuit but it was good especially with the provided honey. The meal so far would just be three stars but the fried chicken took this up a whole extra star. That's great fried chicken. Incredibly well-seasoned and SO crispy. I will definitely be getting Kenney's next time I'm passing through Lexington.

This place is a local well kept secret. If you didn't know it was here you would never find it. The place isn't much to look at but it was full of locals ordering lunch. The prices are quit reasonable. This place is not fine dining, but the food is usually cooked fresh, so it is hot and has great flavor. It is fast food but don't go there in a hurry because you will wait for your food. It beats the hell out of any of the fast food chains and the staff is always friendly and helpful. If you are passing through try the place, and if you are looking for a unique piece of history to eat at y look no further. Buy local cause you won't be sorry.

They also have a great selection of beers to drink there and for bottle purchase. On Fridays, they have 20% off their bottles. They also have live music some days. The owner was super nice and talkative. We had a great experience.

Brew Ridge Taps is an absolute gem. If you're even remotely into craft beer, this place is a…read moremust-stop. Their selection of Virginia brews is seriously impressive -- local favorites, hard-to-find options, plus a solid lineup from beyond the state. You can tell they actually care about what's on tap. It's not just "a lot" of beer -- it's great beer. The food totally holds its own too. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and the kind of comfort food you want when you're settling in with a pint (or two). No afterthought kitchen here. We happened to be there on a live music night and wow -- what a vibe. The music was fantastic, the sound wasn't overwhelming, and the whole place felt lively without being chaotic. The patrons were kind and friendly, and the staff? Absolutely top-notch. Welcoming, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there -- which makes all the difference. This is one of those spots that makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. We'll absolutely be dropping in every time we're in the area. Highly recommend.
