    On arrival we were greeted and seated promptly. It was a quiet Friday afternoon around 12:30 but it sounded like the night would get Busy with music starting at 6 pm. Cute interior with soft Country back music. Outside was decorated for Christmas. We are traveling from northern WI to FL and day 2 into our trip, I needed some good healthy food in my gut and this is exactly what I got. I had the salmon over rice and a baked sweet potato with butter and cinnamon. It was very delicious and tasted like my home Cooking. I had a lemonade that I couldn't drink but for a couple of sips so asked for a to-go cup. They brought me a nice size to go cup filled with lemonade which was nice, but I felt a little bad leaving the one on the table. My husband had the M&M burger with the works (bacon, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onion) and as his side he picked cheese grits because he knew I love them. They were very cheesy and better than most grits I get in FL. 1/3 of my lunch and 3/4 of the grits got boxed up for our hotel dinner tonight. My husband said his burger was ok, over cooked for him as we are use to our burgers with a little pink to them. But, he said on a scale of 1-10 it was a 6....a little an above average. I loved how they monogrammed their restaurant brand into the top of the hamburger bun. We found this place off of Yelp as we were traveling through and just happened to pick Lexington TN as a place to stop for lunch. We are very happy with our choice and would stop back here in our travels.

    Burger and ring of fire chicken sandwich were delicious. Quick service. Hot food. Nice decor.

    Everything on the menu is delicious! Quite cozy place to visit. Was informed they have live entertainment on the weekends.

    Wow. Let's just start with the atmosphere, what a great TN vibe here. This place has everything I love, good food, great prices, clean and there is a true pride of ownership at Main & Monroe. The quality of food is great, service is fantastic and even met the Chef. You won't be disappointed.

    I recently had the pleasure of visiting Main and Monroe. My cousin and I decided to meet up there for brunch, and we were not disappointed. My recommendation is to come early to beat the church crowd. We showed up around 10AM. The brunch menu at Main and Monroe offers a selection with lunch and breakfast options. The prices were reasonable, with most dishes falling between the $12 to $20 range, making it accessible for different budgets. I opted for lunch while the other folks in our party settled for breakfast. They full bar service they provided. It's always nice to have the option of enjoying a drink alongside a good meal, and trust me when I say I was surprised this was in Lexington. They have a good aray of liquors. I can't speak about beer or wine. The server was nice. She checked in as needed and took care of us in a way that was just attentive enough where it wasn't overbearing. The Art Deco design gives the place a unique and elegant ambiance that sets it apart from other establishments in the area. It's evident that a lot of thought and effort went into creating a stylish and visually appealing space that wasn't trying to replicate your typical farmhouse feeling type restaurant. No "live, laugh, love" signs in here. This place boasts of class and culture within its walls. Another interesting aspect of Main and Monroe is its ownership. I learned that it is owned by the Henderson County Mayor, which adds a local connection to the establishment. It's wonderful to see community figures investing in and supporting local businesses. Live music happens here regularly. Check the schedule to see who is playing. Since they're new, they're still building out other ways to engage the community. Music is always a great community builder. I am definitely coming back soon. It's my vibe!

    Crawfish Étouffée
    Amanda B.

    Main & Monroe, is absolutely delicious! We had the appetizer steak bites, Crawfish Étouffée and the chicken strips. The atmosphere with live music was extremely enjoyable for a Saturday night out with friends. The dining experience offered here is unlike any other in the area hands down. I assure you! I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Go support a great veteran owned local business!

    Great steak! Yummy fresh veggies!.. We loved the ambience and friendly service.

    I took my father here twice and both times the food was great and so was the service. It is my new favorite place to eat in Lexington.

    First and foremost, the older woman at the checkout is very rude. I don't know if she is the owner…read moreor an employee, but whoever she is, she needs to take lessons in customer service and how to treat customers. I guess her attitude pours out on others, because I've only ever had a nice server one time ---- ONLY ONE TIME!!!!!!!!!! And she was so meek she was afraid to take our order and even talk to us. As for the food... For lunch or dinner, the salad bar is the best they have, and it isn't good. They have watery iceberg lettuce with huge white hard chunks. I guess they save the green leaves for sandwiches. The dressing is watered down. The bacon bits are fake, and they don't have a big selection. Out of the hot food options, the spaghetti is probably your best bet, but don't expect it to taste homemade. I really don't understand why this place is still in business. I've never known it to be good and know more people who dislike it than who like it. My guess the church crowd is what keeps it in business. Also, I'm sure it has a lot to do with politics.

    The Grecian Family Restaurant is a staple in Lexington, TN. Don't let the name fool you this is not…read moreMediterranean cuisine, however the gyro is solid and tasty. This would qualify as your typical southern charm family restaurant, that my family has been coming to for decades, and was my first visit since I was a teenager. The atmosphere at the Grecian is friendly, clean, and spacious. Our server was young, friendly, and learned it was easier to put down pitchers of water and tea rather than try refills, which is always appreciated. There is plenty of seating for small and large parties (we were a family of 10). The menu is pretty eclectic from Italian entrees, catfish, steak, chicken, and the aforementioned gyro (all of which was ordered). The staple at the Grecian is their fresh salad bar, which I might come in just for that. Most entrees have it included but you can get it on its own as well. Generous in its offerings the 1000 Island was outstanding. The food was not bland (steak was tasty but not noteworthy) and generous in portion. It won't win any awards but it didn't leave anyone hungry at the end either. At the End of the Day this is exactly what you would expect and it doesn't disappoint. There is not a wow element to the Grecian and maybe it isn't supposed to have one. In small towns like this maybe it's just nice to have something dependable and good to eat!?!
