They have limited hours weekly - they are open 9 hours a week. Plan to arrive early in the day because they prepare a daily menu and once they're out of that item, that's it. If they have the peach cobbler, don't miss it!

The quality is fantastic, but it didn't really "wow" me. I've heard so much about this place but it…read morereally isn't as good as I thought it would be. Also, in terms of value for the food, it was expensive for the portions you get. I paid around $50 for the meal in the photo attached. When we are surrounded by BBQ places that just do it better at a significantly lower price I can't recommend this place. Though I would highlight that the workers were amazing and incredibly helpful. The place itself felt very home-like (cozy) which was nice. A little small though for how busy it gets.

Every single part of it (I honestly think the marrow in the bones would even have flavor lol) is full of robust flavor and is juicy. You can taste the expertly balanced spices and fruit juices in the marinade and rubbed on the skin. Large portion and the sides were delightful too. The owner/chef came out and introduced himself-so warm and kind. He is very active in the community which just makes it even better. Yall this place is a gem!!! Don't pass it by. Hands down some of the very best food in Lexington. Any other "normal" chicken will never be the same. .

My wife and I came in at an unusual hour so it wasn't busy and this establishment strikes me more…read moreas a tavern than a restaurant. The atmosphere is very casual but I can see this place getting very loud. The waitress was attentive but not hovering. The owner came for a chat a couple times and was a real gent. The food however was a big... meh. I had the cod and while it was tasty was the size of a filet o fish. which was very disappointing. This was better than my wife's order of tri tip, which was much more like roast beef. We are both of the mind that sometimes mistakes can be opportunities so we just accepted it without complaint. It wasn't bad, but it was. Just ok. So overall, the experience was simply just that. Ok.... $50 of ok. I just don't make enough to have $50 ok experiences.

I was wanting a burger & this place has an unbelievable 1/2 pound burger with cheese & pulled pork on it! They have a BBQ sauce station with warm sauces. You can tell the pork had been smoked for hours with the great flavor complimenting the burger. Huge delicious sides & free refill soft drink station. The BBQ smell was intoxicating! Several TVs around the restaurant & they even have beer! Everyone was friendly & the food came out quickly. Could be a great place for Gameday! I'm sorry I didn't take a pictures of our food before we ate it. I didn't think we'd enjoy our lunch as much as we did. It was delicious! We will be back!

The food was absolutely delicious--from the appetizers to the drinks and our entrées. Everything was flavorful and prepared perfectly. We were so full that we didn't even have room for dessert! What truly made the evening special was the outstanding service. Our server, Will, was training a new server (I wish I remembered her name because she was wonderful, too). Will was incredibly professional, patient, and attentive throughout the entire meal. He did an excellent job mentoring her while still making sure we felt well taken care of. They both made us feel genuinely welcome. This was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last. Cork & Cleaver has earned two new regular customers, and we look forward to coming back again soon. Highly recommend!

From the moment we walked in, the service made the evening feel special. Our waiter was genuinely kind, attentive, and never missed a beat. The food? Absolutely incredible. The filet mignon was cooked to absolute perfection, tender, flavorful, and one of those steaks you don't want to end. The asparagus and broccoli were perfectly prepared, the bread was fresh and delicious, and the shrimp cocktail was the perfect way to start the meal. The drinks were just as impressive. My wife ordered the ribeye and couldn't stop talking about how good it was. The portions were generous, we left completely full, and honestly... I couldn't stop eating because everything was that good. An unforgettable meal, amazing service, and the perfect place to celebrate a milestone. We'll definitely be back!
