We were visiting a friend's house in Lexington for a girls' weekend, and she made reservations at…read moreBennethum's one night. As we pulled up, the aroma was amazing! And it truly looked like an "up north" restraunt, with the wooden walls, and the white bear near the entrance. This seems lake a place where people know each other and come here frequently; several times, I saw servers greeting customers by name. The complimentary bread they served was delicious. Nobody else in our party wanted the leftovers, so I was the lucky recipient of 3 loaves! I ordered the whitefish on a plank. It was a huge piece of fish served with mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli that was cooked just right; it didn't even need any seasoning. It was big enough that I was satisfied with just half and I took the other half home to enjoy later. We also shared an ice cream sandwich -- coffee ice cream sandwiched between 2 chocolate chip cookies, with some whipped cream on the side. It was good but too sweet. The only negative to me was that the water was well water, an overwhelming taste that, as I suburban dweller, I never got used to.

The bar was full too. Luckily, we had reservations so we were good. We started off with the fried morel mushrooms. Helloooo! These were so delicious. Additionally, we got the whitefish bites and the complimentary bread. So hard not to try everything, but it makes it easier with a bigger party. For dinner, I got the smaller portion of walled eyed. The fish was so fresh! I didn't think I had room for dessert, but we shared a slice of carrot cake. It was worth it! Highly recommend this place for a special occasion. Such a beautiful place!

You can get a turkey dinner and all things turkey.... Turkey noodle soup, turkey melts, turkey wraps, turkey burritos, turkey quesadillas, and more. There are non-turkey options too. Why go to the gobbler and not get turkey?! There is some outside seating - two tables in the back and one across from the restaurant. We were able to find a shaded spot in the back so we could eat and sit with our dog. We ordered the turkey Rueben, the turkey melt, and the honey apple turkey wrap. The homemade desserts were a must! The carrot cake! Delicious! Couldn't say no! Love that it's right off the highway. Easy to park too! Ample parking. There was history about the restaurant located inside near the cashier. So cool to see there was an airport in the 1930s when aviation was starting to grow.
