Bear & the Butcher

Fun place to watch a football game. The chicken bacon avocado wrap was very tasty. Service was good and friendly. Happy hour beer special was a good value.

Food is awesome. The rest deserves no stars because no effort was made.I spent 2 hours here. Not willingly. It took ages to get our orders and the go order took about an hour for wings. Just a poor excuse of a place to over charge for decent food. If you are drunk out of your mind, as some clients, it may not matter.

Pretty solid spot for a pre UK football game meal. Came here with my husband, his brother, and hid brother's wife, who are season ticket holders and very graciously invited us. We thought we'd return the favor by taking them out to eat to a place in Lexington they've been eyeing for a while. I had stared at the menu well before we came, and I had a hard time deciding what I wanted. My brother-in-law agreed to split the Chevy Chase Cheesesteak and the Loaded Mac and Cheese. But first, we started with some of the poutine-style fries, which were pretty good. As for the entrees, they were also pretty good. I'm not sure that the cheesesteak warrants the "crowd favorite" trophy next to it on the menu, but it wasn't bad. The mac and cheese was very decadent. The locale is pretty big, going up two stories with an open, sports bar feel. The staff was friendly and helpful. Pretty decent spot, glad we checked it out.

Every restaurant needs a GM like Glenn! His staff is absolutely fantastic as well! He gave us a run-down of their 24hr chicken wing process & excellent recommendations! Charles makes the BEST Espresso Martini! The COCOA BEAR!To start & a MUST the Duck Breast Wontons! Like 5-star Carsons app w/ a perfect portion of duck ratio, corn, cream cheese, bacon & the sauce!! Sriracha mayo & Thai chili sauce. Wow!! A pound of the recommended Wing w/ side of Buffalo & Ranch! Delish!! We also ordered the Poutine. Lovely spot & we cannot wait to come back for Saturday & Sunday Brunch. I highly recommend this restaurant! It is a must!! Thank you all! Happy New Years!Second visit was for BRUNCH!The portions are huge so I was looking for something smaller & the bartender today recommended the Veggie Breakfast Skillet. It was smothered in sauce & basically had one egg. I do not recommend it, but if so, sauce on the side!! Also no lettuce, add another egg. We also tried the 'English' breakfast which wasn't a proper English it Irish breakfast. Basically Polish Sausage & Eggs, lacking the pudding & rashers, but it was good! Overall, the Brunch menu looked good & is served Saturday & Sunday. The Chicken& Waffles & Shrimp Tacos will be the next on my list to try!

Stopped in town and set was recommended this delicious eatery. The restaurant is located off Euclid Ave in Lexington, KY. The big overhead sign outside made it easy to locate the building. I heard it is recommended to call ahead to get a reservation so we did. We were greeted with friendly smiles and a warm atmosphere. We were seated and placed our order, we chose the Steak and Eggs Platter for $16 and everything was cooked to perfection. The ribeye steak was a healthy size and we were satisfied. 10/10 will totally visit here again!

Sunday brunch is a blast. Blood Mary's are outstanding with a delicious accompanying charcuterie. The Portland State Deluxe with buttermilk brine fried chicken, biscuit and gravy, and cheese is top notch. The vibe is relaxed. The staff is attentive. The bar offers a reasonable selection of Bourbon pours and cocktails.

Really fun and sporty ambiance - typical college town energy! The service was nice and friendly as well. All of our food was pretty good! My friend and I shared some of the wings which had very good flavor but definitely needed more sauce! Overall we had a pleasant time! The guacamole bites are super original and super delicious though! Our friends also enjoyed their tacos and Mac and Cheese!

So far I have been here twice. Once for brunch on the outdoor balcony and the second time for a late night snack at the bar. Both times the ambience was amazing with festivals on the street and then trivia inside! Both times the food and drinks were also amazing and well worth the money! The flavor profiles of the dishes are very unique. A must try!

Avoid the Strawberry Spinach Salad with steak. Only three strawberries and a teaspoon of sunflower seeds. Very bland, no seasoning on the steak. It was tough and very fatty like chewing gum. My friend got the same thing and had the same feedback. I've had brunch here in the past and it was good. This menu item is a miss.

We ate here on a Friday at 5:00, and it wasn't very crowded at the time. I had the B&B Margarita and asked the sever if she could make it more tart/less sweet. The drink she brought me may be the best on-the-rocks Marg I've had in a restaurant! The food was piping hot, delicious, and arrived quickly. We were on a time crunch to get to an event afterwards, and our server was amazing at helping us get in and out quicker than normal. I can't wait to go back!
