Very good pizza! Loved their Margherita pizza! Little over priced though.

Me and my husband were blown away by how good this pizza was! The sourdough crust really makes it have a unique taste. It was a little confusing to find the restaurant but it’s actually inside the Horse & Jockey pub towards the back of the building. I can’t wait to go back!

Oh my, this pizza was incredible! The crust, the toppings and the aroma. We had the Fornax, red onion, Pancetta with a Nduja sauce with basil! ?. Can’t wait to come back and try others. Pizza Week for the win!

So the Fat Man and his wife wanted to have a date night, we felt like getting a little dressed up. So we ventured out to Jeff Ruby's in downtown Lexington, KY. Jeff Ruby's offers prime steak cuts, sushi & a vast choice of whiskeys in an upscale dining space with chandeliers. For our appetizer we tried the Oysters Rockefeller which comes with Spinach, Mornay, Parmigiano-Reggiano, 19 Pernod. The oysters offered good flavor in every bite, and were cooked through with a slight chew. The spinach and cheese compliment the oyster with a little salt and creaminess to the bite. The licorice flavor of the pernod is very subtle but added a dryness to the salty bite. For my entrée, I went with the Barrel-Cut filet with Mac n cheese, Brussels sprouts and a bourbon peppercorn sauce. The steak was cooked to a great rare, perfectly red in the center. It had a good salt level with a great outer crust. It was tender and juicy, the peppercorn sauce is very peppery on the front and backend with a heavy saltiness and good flavor, it reminds me of a gravy. The Mac n cheese noodles were overcooked, and the cheese sauce tasted like it had broken, leaving it gritty. However, the cheesy crust on the top is great with a crunch when digging into it. The Brussels are fantastic, they are cooked tender with a good sweet maple sauce, that is not overly sweet. My wife had the Bourbon filet with cheddar grits and Bourbon garlic shrimp. The grits have a good cheddar taste, but they were a little watery for my liking. The shrimp is cooked perfectly with good flavor, and they were of good size. Her steak was cooked perfectly to a medium rare, and it was tender and juicy. Jeff Ruby's has a full bar, beer and wine selection. The staff was very attentive and well-informed of the menu. I highly recommend a reservation. The Fat Man says that Jeff Ruby's is Fat Man Approved with 3 chins.

Absolutely top notch pizza. A little spendy, but damn good.

We were seated at a high top table in the piano bar area which was last available when we made reservations. The volume of the singer and piano was deafening. No one, including servers, could speak to be heard. Ridiculous. Next up: My salmon was visibility over cooked and tasted like it was going bad. The refire was even worse as it was undercooked and raw in the center. I refused the further attempt to have any other substitution and of course was not charged. My friend’s meal charge was also removed and manager did apologize, which was appreciated. This was my friend’s 3rd negative experience in a row at this location which pretty much means we are out. A shame because it is a beautiful restaurant and I know they can do better.

Tasty pizza with vegan options. The owner, Matty, is courteous and warm.

The guy was serving pizza with his bare hands, couldn't even bother to put on gloves. In addition, the thick crust pizza by the slice he served was burnt, and there was a hair in there as well. This happened during the afternoon of 9/9/23.

This night they nailed everything we had. My New York Strip was cooked to perfection and thus melted in my mouth with deliciousness. The seafood tower, the sides and the butter cake for dessert. O my.

Only eaten here once, but will for sure be back. Not really understanding the handful of poor reviews. The place is cool. Chill atmosphere. Bar top seating IN the restaurant but plenty of tables if you go back into Greyline Station where all the other businesses are. The pizza was very good. Owner has an attention to detail and you can tell he’s proud of the pizza he serves. The Beesting 61 was recommended by him, and it didn’t disappoint.Parking: Plenty of parking in the side parking lot.

This is a tough review as their food is normally great. However, I was there for the T swift trivia and understood the food wait was longer than normal. When my pizza arrived it was burnt and I just ate it to avoid another hour wait.

This is a beautiful restaurant, the decor is over the top! It’s lively and I love the live band. The food however is not as top notch:/ I don’t like the “share” sides. I mean come on that’s so cheesy. My steak was tender but the baked potato was so disappointing. Honestly it looked and taste like a microwave potato? I’m a “gotta have a baked potato with steak” kinda gal. So that’s a deal breaker for me! I hope they will hire someone who can make a good baked potato that will wow me as much as the decor!

This is a great up and coming location. You'll find this restaurant in an old rail station along with several other small shops and local restaurants. It has a similar feel to the distillery district with half the crowd. Rise up has great hand tossed pizza with a fluffy, crispy, and tasty crust along with a bright tomato sauce and any flavor of toppings you want. Small place with a friendly atmosphere.

Great pizza at a fair price. Really liked that you can carry your pizza out to an interesting and friendly common area where you can get beer, cocktails, etc., have other food options, play corn toss, etc. Very cool!
