I stumbled upon this establishment while venturing to the Greyline Station for the Wednesday…read moreevening Farmer's Market. If you're not familiar with the Greyline Station, it's a former bus depot which has been transformed into a miniature mall of sorts, with numerous vendors located inside, and I had read a sign that they hold a Farmer's Market on Wednesday evenings from 5:00-7:00 pm. The facility has an accommodatingly large parking lot with plenty of spaces. Nowwwww, to the REAL reason for this review! Once I parked and exited my vehicle, I smelled the most amazing fried chicken, and immediately searched for the source of such an enticing aroma. As I walked towards the building, I saw two nice gentleman sitting outside of the building, near a sign that said Wing KYng, and AHA, SCORE, I found the source of the wonderful fried chicken aroma! Those two gentlemen happened to work in Wing KYng. I told them once I procured my one sought out item in the farmer's market inside the building, I would be returning to procure some of that chicken. Upon my return to Wing KYng, I began asking my typical questions: do they have anything gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and egg free? The staff member was very knowledgeable and advised me that the dry rubs were my best option. I have a myriad of food sensitivities, so I browsed the dry rub options available, and chose a 6 piece chicken wings with Lemon Pepper dry rub. O M Goodness!!Fabulous is the first word to come to mind! The skin was so delectably crunchy, the chicken was moist and tender, and the flavor was perfectly balanced! The cost was $12.00, which is a great price in my mind for the best fried chicken I've had in a good many years. Although I cannot speak to these items, they offer a wide variety of flavors, dips, and Parmesan coated home cut French fries as well. I witnessed one staff member actually cutting the potatoes for the French fries. Truly nice folks work here, and the chicken was phenomenal!!! I will be returning here for sure!

This place is jumpin'. Then again, I think it goes without writing that any new place that opens up…read morehere, everyone in Lexington goes crazy for like a month or two. I knew about this place because I would come by here to pick up giveaways from the T-Mobile next door. I was a long time Wingstop fan, even going out of my way to drive all the way to Louisville because I thought that was the closest location of one, before this place opened up. I went here today to pick up a T Mobile tender deal and take advantage of the 2 for $2. Man, it was like a zoo! Good thing they had chairs lined up against the left wall because there were people already on the bench (placed at the entrance of Wingstop locations I had been to in Louisville). Also, I am pretty sure the kitchen was way past occupancy from all the people working. Lol. Anyway, my order was ready at around the estimated time it stated when I placed the order. The fountain drink machine looked like it had seen better days. There was one option that was not even labeled. Might want to get that looked over. The parking lot for this place was not made with having ay to exit on both sides of the lot (on Wingstop's side), if one were to go in a circle. So as a result, if every parking spot is filled, one would have to reverse and park in the Liquor Barn parking lot.

I've noticed that I don't get doordash notifications and am usually unable to contact my driver with the problems. They mix up orders all the time, they forget the drinks.

I did find my 5 & 5 of tenders and wings to be GOOD, but not orgasmic. That's my fault for letting my boys set my expectations.

They came with carrots and celery. Also, got some jalapeño poppers. The wings were extremely dry and lacked flavor, not what you'd expect from a wing spot. Honestly, the only thing worth eating were the jalapeño poppers. The service was absolutely wonderful, the staff were very friendly and helpful, but the food just was not it for me. Sadly, I won't be coming back.

My boyfriend and I found ourselves sitting at the bar at this place in Lexington Kentucky…read more We were so very warmly greeted by Stewie, the head barman. He recommended a cocktail for my boyfriend who loved it and he also made recommendations regarding the menu options. We opted for gator bites which were great, along with a generous portion of wings which were amazing. Really the star of the show was Stewie, he and my boyfriend discussed music and singer preferences from way back in the past to present times - who doesn't love Whitney?!?! Anyway, he took amazing care of us weary travelers and kept us giggling with his razor sharp wit - what a breath of fresh air! Stewie is such a valuable asset to this establishment, I hope they realize they have a true gem in him. Stewie we love you and hope to come back to visit you again! Highly recommend!

However, THEY ARE BACK BABY!! The wings I got this trip were nothing short of amazing. I am so happy that I'll be able to get the top quality wings I remember before the world changed forever. Perfectly hot and sloppy - absolute perfection. I'll probably be back this weekend because I had been craving good Hooters. THANK YOU EMILY!!

Not only the physical layout of the printed menu but also the variety of options available. They also offer a tremendous amount of sauce choices as well as dry rubs. My favorite sauces are the Spicy Garlic, Hot and the Caribbean Jerk dry rub. I love their Buffalo Shrimp! It is my favorite meal here. The manager that was working at the time of our last visit was very questionable. There was hair in my bleu cheese and he acted weird about taking the cost of the sauce off the bill. I'm surprised that they can't get better help than that.

Rating: (4.7/5)…read more We've definitely become regulars at Roosters, and it's easy to see why -- we absolutely love the staff and the food. This is truly one of the best bar staffs in the city.

Some of the coldest taps in Lexington, hands down. If you're looking for a great spot with awesome service, great food, and an all-around fun atmosphere, this is it. Highly recommend checking it out!

I was craving soup, so I got their soup of the day which was tomato with a Texas grilled cheese. It was mediocre, soup was underwhelming but the cheese toast made up for it. We had fried mushrooms as an appetizer and those were perfectly done. We also ordered the roosters nest with Korean BBQ and this time it wasn't too bad. I just wish there were more healthier options besides a salad, like more vegetables or meats that aren't fried or drenched in seed oils. If there could be some roasted vegetable or chicken options, I'd be more happy about coming here. Overall, the waitress took great care of our table and everything came out quicker than our last visit. I'd personally not recommend this spot just because I prefer healthier food spots. Just don't want to feel like a bloated cow leaving a restaurant from all the excess grease and bad for you type of oils like soybean, canola, peanut, etc. Other than that, this spot is great for people wanting to watch sports and eat bar type of food. The ambiance is very causal and relaxing.
