   It was busier than we expected for a Monday, which did impact speed of service some, but the food more than made up for the mild wait. Highly suggest the fork and knife chicken! Hubby lived in Atlanta for a few years and knows his fried chicken, and this version blew up the senses! Cozy, casual atmosphere, good beer, and great food.

   We’ve dined at the Westboro location several times. This was our fist visit to the Clarence location. We have found our new favourite. Much better ambience. Easier parking and to be honest, better food.

   Service and ambiance we great but the brisket and the pulled pork Mac N’ Cheese were very very dry. Disappointed for a smoke house. FORK chicken was amazing though! Definitely a must order!

   The food at Lexington is always delicious, the Clarence location was able to accommodate our party of 8 that was booked on the Tuesday for the Saturday.

   My husband and I went for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. We loved everything about this place. The food was amazing, the service was excellent. Our waiter was very diligent about our food allergies. The cocktail I had was delicious, and the cheesecake for dessert was to die for.

    Really nice ambiance and decor. Service was a bit slow, but they did seem quite busy. Food was excellent, but took a bit longer to prepare than I would like. Close to 40 minutes I would say. But well worth the wait. We each got the BBQ Platter @ $36 which is a steal at today's prices given the amount you get. Was a very good experience. Wil be going back for sure!

    We actually ended up cancelling our reservation as we arrived in the midst of a 90s style party brunch. Folks seemed to be having an excellent time but with nightclub volume music, it was not the right venue for what we were intending as there was no possibility of conversation. Even with full on yelling we couldn’t hear the person next to us. Ive had positive brunches at the wellington location in the past but would be unlikely to rebook in future. I will say - I think this could absolutely be a plus for a number of folks, but wasn’t for us. I would recommend people check activities in advance to make sure it’s what they intended to reserve.

    It wasn’t exactly the restaurants fault that the noise level was so loud you couldn’t hear the music, but because of this reason I’d give the ambiance a 3/5. The other Lexington location is more of a vibe, it’s dark, spacious and not filled with rowdy weekend goers. The food was delicious. My boyfriend ordered the BBQ platter which included the fork and knife chicken (10/10 recommend) and the brisket - also recommend. We ordered a kale salad and received a spinach salad. We didn’t bother saying anything because it still tasted alright but it would be nice to be informed that we’re receiving something different from what we had ordered. The waitress was kind and had good spirits even though the place was packed. We’re looking forward to coming again to try the brunch.

    First time to the clarence street location. Nice that there was not any variance in the food from one location to the other. Was delicious and good portions. The only comment I have is the ambiance in the west end location has a bit more personality. This one need a little extra… Nonetheless, great experience, will be back.

    This establishment is geared to service drinks and cocktails to the younger crowd. The food was almost not edible. As foodies we were looking for good quality smokehouse style food. The Ribs failed completely and the 1/2 chicken tasted nothing like a jerk seasoning. There is no sense going into great detail of why but I will say that we both cook far beyond what was served. The Waitress kept referring to us, Love, Darlings, Dears and a 20-something should not say words like this to people who are older than her parents. The Dj stated at 7pm raising the already loud volume to a level of not being able to communicate at our table. This was a very poor choice based on the google reviews that we read about each location. Should have taken hid to the negative reviews.

    Food and drinks were excellent as always. The knife & fork chicken never disappoints, and the cost of menu items are so reasonable. Comfort wise, seating was comfortable but the music volume of the live DJ was a bit loud. Overall, a very, very enjoyable dinner experience.

    Visiting from Toronto we stopped in at Lexington on Clarence not sure what to expect. Found great attentive service, a large menu of choices very reasonably priced for what you get at great quality. We did the bbq platters, 2 meats, 2 sides for 36$. Try the fried chicken! We’ve eaten at many restaurants and found the chicken to be trash and with a light , pure battered flavour not bogged down in seasonings. If you want a taste, a slice of fried chicken comes with the delicious Caesar ! It was a meal in itself. Thanks for making a great night out with a another couple on the patio a Thursday night in the market . Will recommend to friends for sure !
