“This place is the best I don't even know where to start. We stopped here yesterday early in the morning after 17 hours in the car. The employees were so friendly and welcoming. We were starving and they had buttermilk biscuits- the BEST biscuits! We were on a 48 hour trip. All we could think about was getting back to Lexington to have another biscuit. We arrived at 5:00 am, and of course we were greeted with open arms. The ladies were so happy to see us back. Again we were starving- they don't serve breakfast until 5:30, but the sweet ladies made our sandwiches on their delicious biscuits. They made us feel like we had been visiting this store since we were kids. This place really is amazing! If your in Lexington- definitely stop in.”
