My friend and I stopped by for a mid day pick me up yesterday …read more When we walked in we were the only ones there which was a surprise to me. I ordered a iced latte and my friend got a regular coffee. Normally I would add sugar to my drink but yesterday I didn't because it didn't need it. I think that if you can make something as simple as drip coffee or pull a smooth espresso shot you're definitely doing something right. I haven't had a bad cold brew/espresso drink there yet. They really are consistent with the drinks. My friend also ordered a plain donut but ended up with the cronut which she's not crazy about. They did try to fix the situation and gave her a keto donut. It goes a little sideways for me I did try the Keto donut and it was a nope for me. The glaze was really good but as for the plain Keto donut it was dry and crumbly.

I would suggest in ordering on line for pick up to avoid the waiting. Having said that the person at the register was friendly and efficient. You can see them prepping the orders behind the counter. The bagel was good&so was the cream cheese spread. As well as the cold brew. There's plenty of seating inside and the tables that weren't occupied were clean. Seating is available outside as well you'll find a couple of tables which is where we decided to sit.

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!

Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. We actually went back two days in a row because we could not get enough. I absolutely love the mission behind this restaurant and the way DV8 Kitchen gives back to the community. It makes the experience even more meaningful knowing that you are supporting a restaurant that is making a positive impact. The food, service, and purpose behind DV8 Kitchen make it such a special place. I honestly would go here every day if I could. I love this restaurant and cannot wait to come back the next time we are in Lexington!

Our friendly waiter kept things moving. It was happy hour (3-6pm) so we got drinks at a reduced price. The menu had so many tempting choices it was difficult to choose. I opted for the Hawaiian chicken sandwich which was tasty. The only downside was the top of the bun was bit dry. The broccoli covered in cheese was a good change of pace. My wife got the spinach and field green salad with a piece of salmon. It was excellent and the salmon perfectly done medium rare. Prices were reasonable. Highly recommended.

After seeing the online reviews, we decided to check out Carson's for dinner, and this place comes…read morehighly recommended by locals as well! On a Sunday night, there was a wait, but we were able to snag two seats at the bar. The bartenders were great--I wish I remembered their names! They made some excellent food and drink recommendations and were very attentive. We started with a Caesar salad to share, which isn't pictured, and then ordered two pasta dishes that we absolutely devoured. Everything was delicious! The following day, we discovered that many restaurants are closed on Mondays, so we ended up at Carson's again. This time, we decided to check out the back porch. We were expecting a similar menu, but the back porch seemed to focus more on meat and fish options, while we were looking for sandwiches. So, we relocated to the main dining area at Carson's without a reservation. Thankfully, the hostess was able to seat us but let us know that we would need to be finished dining by 7 p.m., which wasn't a problem for us. Our server was great, and we started with the goat cheese appetizer, which was absolutely incredible! Unfortunately, my Buffalo chicken sandwich was drenched in Buffalo sauce to the point that I couldn't really enjoy it. My spouse and I also decided to share sides of the mac and cheese and smoked Gouda broccoli. I was pretty disappointed with both because they were heavily covered in truffle, which I personally don't like. Because of that, I wasn't able to enjoy my second meal here as much as I had hoped. Nonetheless, I would still recommend checking out Carson's. There are plenty of menu options, and our first experience was fantastic. Based on my two visits, though, I would strongly recommend making a reservation if you plan to dine here!

The tacos are fresh, flavorful, and packed with ingredients that actually taste like someone cared, and I honestly can't say that about many places. I love the environment too.

The service is also incredibly quick, even when the place is packed, which is most of the time. Local Taco has become a staple for me, and I'll keep coming back. If you're in Lexington, go.

The wait was not long, but it was packed for 8:30 AM. You can tell it's a popular spot. We were seated in a tiny 2 person area and I was right next to an extinguisher. I thought that was a bit uncomfortable since it took from my already small sitting arrangement and I kept hitting it with my shoulder. Not the biggest deal. I was upset because the food is not terribly expensive, but for $17ish I ordered an omelette with two meats (sausage and bacon) and veggies, potatoes, and toast (Josie's Dad I believe it was called)... yet the omelette came with two tiny chunks of sausage. No meat, just veggies. The server came and she asked if something was wrong with our food, and if we were sure based on the look on my face. I honestly didn't want to fuss because it was very busy, so I didn't send it back. The food was okay; my husband enjoyed his pork chop. Overall I'd give it an 8/10 but not sure if I'd be back just yet.
