A nice place to eat, caught up with an old friend who lived in Lexington. I had a pattie melt, which was cooked perfectly with fries. My friend had a taco salad. Reasonably priced, the owner was nice, and the service was good. You order at the bar. Pay at the bar. Nice and clean, and it is easy to carry on a conversation. If you haven't tried it yet, go there. Service: Dine in
