Food is always good here, especially breakfast. Sometimes things run slow because it's a small locally owned restaurant and it can get busy but on the whole they do a great job. They've even been recommended and runner up by Best Of Lexington for best breakfast in town 2023 & 2025 (it's noted by emblems on the entry door). I love that if you have a problem with your food the management will make it right. You just have to let them know. No one's perfect but they really try to make it right. I love the ambiance inside and the outdoor seating in spring and summer. Good place to bring the family. I'm thrilled there are still local places like this one in Lexington that really work hard to give its' best and work hard to keep their doors open in this economy now days. It's not easy as we all know. We need to support our local businesses and cheer them on like this little gem. Thanks, Tack House for hanging in there through thick and thin and still giving us delicious food and great service for so many years! read more

I am a frequent patron of this special place... for several reasons. The food is always good. My go-to is the 2-2-2 special. Check it out when you go. Yum! I often take my laptop and get work done there because it's cozy and never too loud. And locally owned - with a staff that feels like family. [If you go, tell them Special K sent you and get free coffee!] read more

Tack House Pub - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Nice little brunch spot, with plenty of options, but it does get busy and inside can be a bit crowded if the weather is not the greatest. Nice weather is perfect for the patio area, especially because you still get shade from the trees when it's hot. Lots of food and drink options, and they have some fun specials at times, it really just depends. Bourbon roll was delicious, blueberry muffins were nice. Their sausage gravy is pretty good, but it seemed to be missing something flavor wise. I ended up trying the Pharoah, which was deliciously baked potatoes and eggs, rye toast, and guzzling my coffee. Food was pretty good! read more

Tack House Pub - Bourbon roll - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Nice and cozy with a homestyle feel. Great food and service that is not a chain restaurant.

Cute little locally owned restaurant that I was excited to visit. Bourbon Bun was great! Coffee lukewarm. Rest of food was flavorless and lukewarm. Server never stopped to ask how our meal was. I left an honest and not harsh review on fb. The owner suggested I should cook for myself at home everyday instead of eating out. What a strange restaurant business model to tell folks to stay home to eat! I love trying new locally-owned restaurants! It is enjoyable having people cook and clean for me. Will definitely spend the money elsewhere now. By the way, fb comments were 50/50. Some agreed the food and service are subpar. Regulars said I should have "flagged down" a server to have them remake the food. Sorry, I don't wait ten minutes to flag down anyone to make a scene about bad food. If the servers aren't trained to make sure everything is going well. Then I just leave and don't come back. Especially when the owner was brazen enough to suggest I just cook for myself from now on. read more

A wonderful restaurant that offers enjoyable outside seating. The waitstaff are friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. The breakfast meals are delicious. read more

Tack House Pub - Front Entrance - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

Tack House Pub's homemade grits are by far the best grits I've had in Lexington. They're perfectly salted and buttered and the texture was perfect. The rest of our food was wonderful as well, but the grits were the star of the show! read more

Excellent food. Fast service. Lively atmosphere. Our "go-to" for breakfast in Lex. Converted equine tack house with appropriate decor. Outside dining as well. read more

Great breakfast! The chicken tacos are yummy. Love the space and when it's nice outside they have great seating to enjoy the weather. I've been several times and the service is excellent. Great place! read more

Probably the most aesthetic and delicious breakfast and lunch spot in south Lexington. Service is phenomenal, the breakfast large and hearty, and just a cozy place to go. Get out of the hustle and bustle of downtown and get some country cookin! read more

This is a great local place for breakfast. We had the breakfast burrito and coffee. We were able to sit outside on the deck on a beautiful fall Saturday morning. We will make this a regular stop. read more

Tack House Pub - Exterior - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

I was on a mission to find a local breakfast eatery that just can't be found anywhere else. My search led me here to the Tack House Pub. I arrived early on a Sunday morning and was pleasantly surprised to get seated right away, given that there's very limited seating availability. Cozy setting with friendly staff. I ordered some coffee, along with 2 eggs and 2 stacks of pancakes, and some bacon. It definitely did not take long for the food to come out. This place seemed to run like a well-oiled machine, keeping customers fed and leaving happy and full. The food was delicious. I must say that the pancakes had the softest, fluffiest spread of butter that I've ever had. It was a whipped butter that blanketed the pancakes to perfection. Definitely ranks as some of the best pancakes that I've ever had. That being said, however, I'm just not a big fan of the syrup container, as it just never seems to be enough. I had to make due as I couldn't really get the attention of the server to request another one, but it was totally fine. I'm just more of a fan of syrup containers at the table for customers to drizzle on the perfect amount. A great visit, with great service in a great atmosphere. As I was leaving, the list of waiting customers was growing. I had overheard a party of 10 that had called ahead to request a table. I can't even imagine how they were going to make that work. Definitely a good idea to call ahead to see if there is a wait and perhaps get your name added to the list before showing up. read more

Tiny but fun, great place for early meals. Recommend not arriving at a classically busy time. If it's pretty outside, this place can't be beat. read more

We visited as this restaurant was voted best breakfast in Lexington. Not when seated but got busier as we sat there. Meals came out wrong. My husband ate his..but the eggs that were ordered medium well came out very over easy..the white was still raw. Recooked not once but twice. Talked with manager/owner. Her response was well we are busy and if your food doesn't come out right send it back. Pretty poor attitude. Your business is cooking food and it should come out right to begin with. Will not go back read more

I would recommend this darling little pub any day! I have in fact to many. I love to dine outside. The food I've had has been great. Better than anyplace else similar to it. The service was good, pleasant and efficient. The ambience is perfect for me. Down home but up scale. They've hit the nail on the head!!! The last time we were there (a few weeks ago)! Sorry for the delay posting. (Had to spend some time in the hospital for kidney failure). My husband had the Seattle Slew and grits and I had the SeaBiscuit sandwich and tomato soup. Soooo good! Can't wait to go back! Great place to hang out!! read more

A great little breakfast joint - amazing food and friendly staff! Portion sizes are perfect and definitely recommend the breakfast burrito! Recommend heading over early to avoid a long wait, but it's definitely worth the wait! read more

Really solid place for bfast and brunch. Several great choices for all. Cool location as well and they have great service also. Omelets, bfast potatoes etc and really all fast bfast staples represented. read more

This was takeout during COVID 19. I got the breakfast burrito and pub fries. The burrito contains scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, and vegetarian refried beans, though I'm not sure what that means--I couldn't really tell they were there. It was a basic burrito and the tortilla was well grilled. The pub fries were basic breakfast potatoes, a little stale, but honestly, it's takeout, and would have probably been better in house. Meal probably could have used a little seasoning. Did come with sour cream and salsa. This place has a pretty wide variety of breakfast foods, including omelets, egg breakfasts, pancakes and waffles. They also have lunch fare, featuring several hot sandwiches. Nothing fancy, but a decent meal. read more

Small breakfast place serving out of a house. With only about ten tables, calling ahead is a must. Even so, expect a wait. Customer service and food were both good. I ordered the two eggs any style. It came with toast, bacon and home fries. The portions were a decent size for the cost. I thought it was a good deal. We would come again to try other menu options! read more

Tackhouse Pub is my brunch haven, and the hot brown dish is nothing short of a culinary masterpiece. The combination of flavors left me speechless, and I usually reserve that for important things like brunch. The cozy atmosphere and impeccable service make it a must-visit. Tackhouse Pub, where every bite of the hot brown is a step closer to brunch nirvana! read more

What a small gem!! Such a quaint restaurant. We went after church around 9:30 and they already had a 20 minute wait, so that was a great sign. Let's talk food: these pancakes were "better than First Watch" per my boyfriend. And he is an unclaimed pancake expert. I enjoyed the crisp of the breakfast potatoes and how fluffy his pancakes were. To top it off, The service was amazing despite how busy they were! We will 100% be back again. read more

Great omelettes and good service Wife had French Toast and sugar free syrup. Much appreciated.

Fantastic little outdoor dining spot. Great affordable breakfast with great service and a friendly staff.

Average food, nothing special. Our second time having breakfast there. First time service was friendly. This time the server was ok but the hostess and food runner were horrible. The fake flowers on the table are tacky. It's summer-spring for fresh local flowers or don't use any. read more

I had a great experience - Didn't know this was here but I will absolutely be going back for breakfast

Quaint little place, serves just breakfast on the weekends. Hubby got the corned beef and hash, which came with 3 perfectly cooked over easy eggs. I got the chorizo tacos with fried potatoes, they were delicious (coming from someone who eats tacos on a weekly basis at home). The only complaint I have is find someone who can make salsa, or try a variety from a grocery store, but please DO NOT offer Pace Picante--mild. It's an insult to the tacos. read more

This is a quaint little coffee shop with so much more. The food is amazing wether for breakfast or lunch. They have special on there Lattes. Love them! Staff is southern friendly. Which is all good! I just landed and this is the first place we came back to. I have to add that they added dinner to there day. The menu looks interesting. The prices are really reasonable. Shrimp and grits for the app looks tempting. I'm still a breakfast fan but open to trying the dinner menu soon. I love the small quaint size of this place. It's very inviting and a warm atmosphere. It's around the corner from my daughters so it tends to be our go to breakfast place before I head back to RI. I'm here every few months and I've never been disappointed . If your in the area I recommend giving it a try. read more

This place is so cute and adorable. They serve breakfast and lunch. The good: seriously, this place is charming. The coffee was really good. The ok: the food was standard American fare. Nothing exciting. When I say nothing exciting I mean nothing. I ordered the chicken breakfast tacos with pub fries. The bad: when I asked what pub fries were, they told me fried potatoes with no seasoning. No seasoning, no salt. No nothing. It seems that most of the food lacked seasoning. read more

Small seating area but worth the wait. Food was fresh and yummy. No Mimosas but we went on a Sunday and aren't familiar with the laws in KY. When we arrived there was a 20 minute wait for a table. They took our name and phone number and called us when a table was ready. I like that....it was a cool and rainy day so I glad to wait in our warm car. read more

I had a delicious breakfast sandwich with 2 eggs cooked to order (I chose over-medium) and sausage and Swiss cheese. It was the best breakfast sandwich that I've had in a long time and I loved how they chopped up the sausage patty. The makeup and texture of the sandwich was perfect! I also like the atmosphere here as well. It's very quaint and the stone is beautiful. It's nice to sit at a table outside if the weather is nice too. The service is relatively quick and the waits aren't usually too long. read more

Just ok. Sat outside to comply with social distancing, and it was great. Service was good, too. Our main breakfast entrees were just, meh. Hubbs got an omelette which felt like rubber, and I got the chorizo breakfast tacos which were very greasy, but somehow bland. read more
