My friend and I stopped by for lunch. When we walked in…read morethere were a couple of people picking up orders. She ordered the three piece chicken tenders and got a order of fries with cheese. I don't know what seasoning they use on the fries but its so good! The food came out piping hot and fresh. They don't skimp on the portions. She ended up taking the rest home with her. The chicken tenders were so hot She had to wait a few minutes before she could eat them. The food is always consistent every time we go. The store has several tables to sit at if you choose to stay and eat. The tables as well as the store was clean. The man at the register was friendly and he did let us know when her food was ready. They have a huge selection of beverages including beer. And the soft serve ice cream is really good as well.

This place was so worth the line we had to wait in! First the owner greeted us and ask "is this…read moreyour first time here?" We introduced ourselves and let him know that, Yes we were from Florida. He and his staff were so welcoming and recommended some sandwiches and the buffalo mac & cheese. We took all of their recommendations, and everything wad absolutely amazing. As a matter of fact, our friends who were with us visiting from upstate New York, went back the next day to get sandwiches for the road. One of the owners is a veteran, which is also amazing that he served our country and is now serving us amazing food. This is a Family owned sandwich shop, tucked away in a strip mall and worth every single bit of wait time, money, etc. It is your atypical locals ambience and we loved it! If you're visiting Lexington Kentucky this is a must must must stop!!!

I love it here!!! The owner was extremely personable and his trusty sidekick indulged me as I asked unlimited questions, cause I had alot. They use Boar's Head meats and the menu is small but mighty. I love that he posts his specials on Instagram daily so we know what to expect in case we want to shift from the "usual". He carries a few varieties of chips and bottled drinks but the sandwich is huge... look at it! I bragged to all my coworkers once I got back to the office, but I didn't share... not one bite! Glad to have this "mom and pop" shop downtown and will be spending alot of time here!

This place is a state treasure. Sometimes I go just for the Hawaiian fries…read more.. But everything is good here. And I've tried everything at least twice. My favorites are the Big Kahuna burger, the fries obviously, but the pulled pork is amazing but the fish plate is my all-time favorite. You could just throw a dart at the menu and be fine though. They have nothing that won't rock your face off.

I had never had spam and have never been to Hawaii, so Big Kahuna was a fun option to try for…read moretakeout. I got the spam and eggs. Spam was a little salty (duh, that's to be expected) but well fried. The fried sunny side up egg was amazeballs too, so rich and runny. Fries were hot and crispy as well, but honestly the spam and eggs (which also came with sticky rice and macaroni salad) was so filling that I barely touched the fries. This delicious smorgasbord was only 9 dollars! My colleague had the juicer, which is mahi mahi with cabbage slaw and spicy mayo. He also got the Hawaiian style fries. Topped with spicy mayo, sweet soy, house chili sauce, green onion, and sesame seed, this is an extravagant dish! He enjoyed it. My other colleague got spam musubi is spam and sweet soy on sticky rice, wrapped in seaweed. He says it's his favorite dish from there. Other dishes include kalua pork (Hawaiian bbq sauce), teriyaki chicken, grilled tofu, coconut shrimp, and katsu, which is panko fried pork with their house sauces. For a meal out of the ordinary, give Big Kahuna a try. They say they have the "second best fish sandwich in town!" (Charlie's claims the first spot).

One of…read morethe guys on shift was quick to tell us all about their menu and other location as well as gave us samples of their cream cheese. I just loved how he was so quick to jump in and tell us everything we needed to know while the others took our order and made the drinks. So efficient and a great way to showcase the menu! Inside was cozy and a great spot to set up to work. They had plenty of outlets near tables to plug in your laptop. Convenient location! Also have to note the matcha is not pre-sweetened which I prefer. I don't like syrups or sweetener in my matcha and too often coffee shops will use a pre sweetened drink mix. I would definitely be back when in the area again!

This was our first time visiting the new Turner Commons location and we were NOT disappointed! The…read morenew location was beautifully curated and had a cozy, but upscale vibe that we're used to seeing at OBC Kitchen. They even have cozy blankets available for their fireside, outdoor dining spots; a very cute and clever touch. The bar beautifully highlights their bourbon selection which is as expansive as you would expect being in the heart of The Bluegrass As expected, the cocktails were amazing! We tried a few of their seasonal selections, a classic cocktail, and a Four Roses Small Batch neat. All were fantastic! The gin cocktail "he who shall not be named" was well balanced, bright, and overall easy to drink-a crowd pleaser! The milk and sugar (classic cocktail) and the pumpkin espresso martini were coffee-forward, not too sweet options that made for a perfect "dessert" drink without feeling like you were drinking syrup. If you want a fun, new take on some classic cocktails- OBC is never the wrong choice! Now- the food! We had the Parker's Roll- they came out piping hot in a cute cast iron skillet, a cute nod to the KY Southern cooking that I grew up with. The rosemary had just enough presence to be different/modern but was not in your face, which was a bonus for me-but if you're hoping for super flavor forward rolls these may not be for you. Not pictured, my husband's caprese chicken- it was perfectly seared with just the right amount of crispness, the marinara and caprese salad on the side were the perfect amount of freshness and brightness to lighten up the dish. The short ribs and cheesy grits felt like home- a great dish for a rainy, fall night. No complaints here! We also split the hashbrown au gratin- it was yummy, the jalapeño was pepper first, heat second and had just the right amount of freshness and heat to make an otherwise "classic" dish just a little bit more special. SERVICE! While this is a new-to-us location, OBC is a well established, well executed restaurant and the service reflects their heritage. We were fortunate to be one of the tables that Rachel and Jake were working with tonight- Rachel was training but never missed a step and honestly, was a DELIGHT to spend the evening with. :) She was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. She was not "pushy" and gave us plenty of time to just enjoy each course of our meal without being interrupted with ordering the next step. Jake (her trainer) checked in every now and then for feedback on how Rachel was doing, he was always polite and helpful but honestly, not necessary because she was amazing! We also had a few members of the bar team and "runners" check in/deliver drinks and food throughout the meal- they were all polite, timely, kind, and willing to help even if it was outside of their typical "role". Price point: for us, the meal was a little more than we would pay for "just dinner" but for a rare, parents-only, night out it was perfectly reasonable. We will probably reserve this for an "occasion" or a showcase dinner when we have friends in town BUT it is perfect for that! Overall, a great time, with great people, and great food! We're excited to have them on the north side of town!

Dark and mysterious bourbon cellar vibe that serves up some killer food…read more Make a reservation for this loud and potentially dark, depending on where you're seated, foodie joint. Or maybe slip into the bar unannounced. Super friendly! As they've outgrown the Tates Creek location and are building out the new location, the website and Google conflicted on who's open and where. At the moment I'm here on TC. To make sure I knew where I was going, Grace called to confirm my reservation and the correct location. Bonus points! If you're reading this they've already moved to Turner Commons. Maybe the best fries I've ever had. Seriously! I love a fry. The thicker the better. These aren't steak fries but a healthy, house cut, seasoned to perfection. I could make a meal of of these with the dipping sides of smoked tomato ketchup (meh), lemon-garlic rosemary aioli (oh yeah), and a thai chili dipping sauce (B I N G O) $9 Cola-Braised Shirt Ribs were good. The greens with bacon, I mean, bacon, rocked better than other sides in the past. So there's a win. The scoop of grits were delicious and made for a perfect trifecta @ $33. Wanting something more refreshing yet still filling? I highly recommend the Heirloom Tomatoes/Watermelon/Burrata salad $22. You will think it's huge, and it is, but you'll clean your plate. Dessert? Well. That's bourbon, Son. OBC has an exceptional collection. Peruse options on the iPad to get hints of flavors, proofs, and costs. May I suggest the Stag Single Barrel? It's uncut, unfiltered, and a very limited batch from Buffalo Trace. It's a beauty and a beast.

I literally almost devoured it in the car before I left for work during my lunch break. The pimento cheese is the absolute best pimento cheese I've ever had in all of Kentucky. Everything was so delicious and piping hot and the customer service was excellent. I recommend this place to everyone and anyone who comes to Lexington as it is a hidden gem that everyone should know about and support.
