Merrick Inn

Dinner was very good, menu was a little sparse. Assume that will be expanded as they come out of COVID issues.

Great service! Food was good. Was a little dark inside and hard to read menu.

Excellent service, food, and atmosphere. Merrick Inn has consistently held its place in the Lexington dining scene for over 40 years. As other restaurants have come and gone, Merrick Inn has held true to its timeless , classic traditions. It’s the best in Lexington!

The Merrick Inn patio is one of our favorites. The Canadian salmon and the fried chicken are excellent choices.

Our dinner at Merrick was spectacular in all aspects. We couldn't have had a better evening. Both the food and service was exceptional. The banana peppers and fried green tomatoes were delicious appetizers and the fried chicken was 2nd to none!!! Our server was so friendly, attentive and anticipated our every need. It was such a wonderful evening out and exceeded all of our expectations!!

Always wonderful! A little noisy on the covered patio.

The food was really good and prices were reasonable. Great service and a really nice atmosphere. No diversity at all in the diners but maybe it’s a well kept secret.

Menu items need to list ingredients. If something has onions in it it should be in the description. We ordered the cab and lobster nachos and they had raw red onion in them. Also, the nachos were heavy on chips and not so heavy on lobster/crab which was more of a lobster crab salad with lots of Mayo. They remade the nachos without the onions but then they left out the lobster and crab. Since the onions were only in the salsa this didn’t make sense. They were very nice and didn’t charge for the nachos and then comped another appetizer. You live and you learn, I guess.

Great service and the food is off the charts! The atmosphere is wonderful, whether you are dinning inside to a more peaceful tone or outside where it feels awesome

Excellent service and the food is always amazing

Father’s Day

Went to Merrick, had the best service, ever, Ashley the bartender had us laughing the whole time, great drink recommendations, steak was cooked phenomenally, can’t wait to come back. 10/10 would recommend

Ashley was a wonderful server. Friendly and personable. We all ordered something different and equally enjoyed our dinners. The pork shop was so moist, tender, and flavorful. And the almond joy bread pudding was a unique preparation on a standard dessert. Loved it all!

32 years we have been coming to this restaurant; never had one complaint!

Always a great time! We enjoyed our happy “hour” in the bar, our server was excellent and we look forward to coming back! Hope we weren’t too loud, we were having fun catching up! 🤗

Best ribeye I've had in Lexington. Would def go back again!

We had a great evening

Great meal ! Excellent food. Had a breakdown in service in getting our check, but we love the Merrick!

A truly grand night starting with Lobster Crab Nachos and a dessert finale of a decadent bread pudding and key lime pie.
We each had a different entree including the seafood special. Not a bite was left on any plate! The steaks were to savor and the grilled fish delicately flavored and cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the crab cakes appetizer as my entree. You immediately sink into an abundance of fresh crab spiced and cooked to perfection. I had the last two of the night as only a set number are available in order to maintain such a high degree of quality.
I wish I could recall the name of our server; instead I will refer to her as “Kelly’s mom” as Kelly is the name of her precious two year old. She was such a delight in her genuine concern that each of us have a memorable experience at Merrick Inn. She made it clear that she was proud to work there and that she valued being a part of a team that holds every aspect of your experience as essential to your experience. She exuded delight and pride in her job which was the perfect accent to each and every aspect of the meal.
Well done, Merrick Inn. I am so glad to have selected your restaurant to celebrate my husband’s birthday and his championship over several significant health hurdles since January of 2020. It could not have been more perfect.

Merrick is consistently good! Great for adults and kids, and our server was fantastic (Whitney I believe). Highly recommend! The calamari is to DIE for, and the fried chicken is amazing!!

Service and food was fantastic! The renovated outdoor area was perfect for celebrating a friends birthday last night. Merrick is always a favorite for all of us!

We enjoyed our table location. The waiter was very good. Drinks were delicious and served wonderfully. The food was a bit uneven in quality. Some dishes wonderful - grouper, steak, chicken, corn, asparagus Some not so good cod sandwich Overall a good night.

Food was ok- definitely nothing special! Pineapple martini’s were good!

Family dinner. The food dnd service were excellent. A lovely evening.

Went here for wedding anniversary dinner for the first time. Sat on the patio which is a filled in outdoor pool and pool deck that is well done decorated nicely. Fairly intimate setting, even outdoors. Service is excellent and food was terrific. While the place has been around a long time, it's still kinda under the radar. Well worth the visit and will go back to try other dishes. Recommend the bourbon slush!

Delicious food, great service and wonderful atmosphere!

We stopped going there last year because the brown outside chairs were uncomfortable. We thought we would try again this year. Fortunately we were set in the grey chairs. We will be requesting them from now on. You may need to listen to your patron about this issue.

This was my first time to Merrick Inn and I will definitely be back. The service was excellent.

We had Nathan Schnurr as our server tonight and mannn was he outstanding! Provided service with a positive attitude, checked in with us frequently, and showed us a great time at The Merrick Inn!

We had a delightful meal and our server was great! The food was very reasonably priced and very good - especially the fried chicken.

We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and our server recommended the lightly blackened Halibut over Parmesan Cheese Grits covered in Shrimp Creole. It was an excellent recommendation. The fish was perfectly cooked and the included sides of Corn Pudding and Asparagus with Hollandaise complimented the meal. We enjoyed New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and followed the meal with Key Lime Pie. Service was impeccable and the price was very reasonable.

Delicious fried chicken, calamari salad& special appetizer.

We were outside and enjoyed the wonderful weather and food. No complaints at all. Our favorite place to dine!

Sitting outside is always a great atmosphere. Our server and the food were great. The peach sangria was amazing!

Alex our server was somewhat new but did a great job!!

The waiter was very attentive and nice. The food was good. Love the outdoor dining.

Wonderful restaurant. Delicious fried chicken and great Keylime pie. Friendly staff and great service.

Tom was our server and it was the best service I’ve ever had at Merrick. Usually not nearly as good! Keylime pie was incredible.

Wonderful there!

Service was very good. Food delicious! We always enjoy the Merrick Inn never disappoints us. Thank You
