In Lexington there are some great spots: Winchells - This is a great casual spot. The fried chicken is outstanding and, if you're there for breakfast, they do specialty pancakes in addition to a great menu. Sawyers - Burger place downtown, lunch only. Best burgers around. Coles - Looks like a casual spot from the outside, but it is more fine dining. Great seasonal menu. Tomo - Fresh authentic sushi/Japanese. One of my favorite spots. Doodles - Breakfast/brunch only. The shrimp and grits are a favorite, as well as the beignets. Tony's - Chicago-style steakhouse. I've heard rave reviews but haven't tried it myself. Merrick Inn - Try this place for the fried chicken (even better than Winchell's) or steaks in a casual fine-dining atmosphere. Good patio bar. Palmers - There isn't a lot of good seafood in Lexington (for good reason) but Palmers probably does it the best. Great patio/outside bar. Old San Juan - My favorite place in Lexington. In a strip mall and next to a laundromat, you would drive past this place 10/10 times. But you would be missing amazing authentic Cuban. Black beans and rice, fried sweet and green plantains, ropa vieja, picadillo and fresh baked Cuban bread. Was run by an ancient Cuban man and wife and all food was served on styrofoam plates. Recently taken over by their kids and now they use actual plates. Food remains amazing.
