The Tastiest Sandwiches in Lexington

King Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7)

"FRESH donuts! This little place is loaded with fresh made daily donuts and pastries. The glazed yeast donuts had a satisfying fluffy, doughy texture with a perfect sugary glaze. I only bought a half dozen to share with my family and everyone was so impressed, I'll be back tomorrow morning to buy a cool dozen! As you can see in the pics, there are quite a few varieties of glazes and toppings. Also, cake donuts, eclairs, and more. There is also a small breakfast sandwich menu.The place is clean and the gal who prepared my order was friendly and professional - I'm guessing she is the owner of this fine establishment.Located right beside my go to nail salon, Corbin Nails, I'll be visiting often!"

Mainstrasse Deli & Carryout

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"Jared is the nicest guy, great selection of necessities, and the sandwiches are KILLER. A gem for the neighborhood."

Tomcat Bourban & Brewhouse

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (10)

"Good food and drinks had a band good evening will be back again. Food was a little high priced but good."

I AM Coffee

★★★★☆ 4.1 (25) • $

"So I had an appointment up this way and figured I get a coffee. I was just going to go to a Dunkin' or place like such but I seen this on Apple Maps and I am so happy I did! Parking is a bit hard to find but there was a lot up the street a bit. I got a Milky Way iced coffee and boy o boy it was amazing! They even had almond milk which I was happy about. I had a cranberry muffin as well and it was very soft and moist. But wait that coffee! I'll be back today to try another flavor cause I have to head that way again!"

The Downtowner

★★★★☆ 3.8 (112) • $

"I had the grilled cheese which was delicious and my husband had the hot brown. Both were delicious. I did think the price was a high considering plates and utensils were plastic or throwaway. Napkins were paper towels. Chips were a Ruffles bag. Homemade Cookies ended the meal and were fantastic and a steal price wise. I would go back though."

Subway

★★☆☆☆ 2.2 (12) • $

"Went through the drive-thru at 4pm, and I have to go along with the other reviews...slow as Christmas. Plus, if you're traveling toward the I-64 exchange, waiting on traffic will add even more time to your stop. So, if you're thinking you'll hop off the interstate and make a quick stop for Subway on your way home, think again. That quick stop could take you almost 30 minutes. Plus, it just wasn't good quality. Skimpy meat and toppings, and the bread was dry and tough. Hold out for Jimmy Johns or Blimpies once you get to Frankfort."

Rolling Oven

★★★★☆ 4.1 (97)

"Good food made by a trustworthy team that wants to make their clientele happy and will work hard to get your order right and timely to your table. Rolling Oven does a fine job of preparing pizzeria based items along with typical appetizers. Should there be an issue, they're quick to work to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. They have a friendly, efficient staff located in both buildings at the National ave. location in Lexington. Prices are typical for pizzeria places."

Coffman Station at Trail Suites Inn

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Service was great. Our server was very friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable of the menu. All of our food came out quickly. The menu was diverse with something for everyone. Desserts are made in house and change regularly. We didn't order cocktails, but it looked like they had a fully stocked bar where you could watch a game. We'll be back!"

Brenda's Smoke Shack

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"Great BBQ! Had the pulled pork sandwich and a side of potato salad. The sandwich was hefty with a good portion of pulled pork. Service was great. If you're passing through, stop in!"

Mirage Mediterranean Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (335) • $$

"I have driven past Mirage on Preston Highway a dozen times over the years and finally had my chance to try it this week with co-workers since we had an event at a hotel nearby. We are all fans of Greek food and Mirage did not disappoint. We had quick and friendly service with a fantastic lunch spread. We tried a little bit of everything--hummus with hot pita bread, baba ghanoush, chicken Shawarma, falafel. All tasted fresh and delicious."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 3.7 (24)

"So, this is weird review for me. Jersey Mike's isn't local. Most probably wouldn't consider it remarkable enough to write about. But, I'm stuck recovering from a major surgery. I can't get out and I don't have much better to do than to try sandwiches that that have gone viral on TikTok.The number 7, Mike's way, swap out the bread for rosemary parmesan, cherry pepper relish, and pickles. I'm not normally a soda drinker, but Agave Vanilla Cream Soda sounded interesting enough. As for the sandwich, the rosemary and the spice from the cherry pepper relish were an interesting combination. I liked it. I would reorder it. The sandwich was a bit sloppy, but that doesn't bother me. It had a decent kick to it, but it definitely was not overtly hot. I'm a bit indifferent about the pickles. They normally really elevate a sub for me, but I could eat this one with or without. The soda was decent. I'm not really into sugary drinks. It didn't have caffeine. There was another one I would try, black cherry tarragon I think? I bet I wouldn't try either sodas twice."

The Parthenon Greek-American Eats

★★★★☆ 4.4 (34)

"I only have one complaint...everything I've had here is phenomenal. My only problem is having to decide what to order!"

Country Crust Bakery

★★★★★ 4.7 (32) • $

"Yum, what a fantastic find! This is a nice large bakery packed with goodies: pies, donuts, soft pretzels, brownies, cookies, jams, pastries, little gift items, and a made to order counter for hot sandwiches and pizzas. There are so many choices! We ended up with a pepperoni pizza, cherry pie, two glazed donuts and a Reese Dreams (2 cookies with a frosting filling and a topping with chocolate drizzle). Everything was very tasty and the donuts were especially good. The Reese Dreams was very decadent! The bakery has a really nice patio set up out front, with a variety of picnic tables and tables and chairs. There's a decent sized gravel parking lot, as well as an overflow parking lot. The staff were friendly. Bring cash!"

County Club

★★★★☆ 3.8 (277) • $$

"My recent experience of having brunch with a friend here was one of the very best. I've been several times over the years and always had delicious food but the latest was way above expectations. I was hesitant to get the brisket pho for brunch at first but wow was I happy with my choice. This dish was expertly created with their fall-apart melt in your mouth brisket, a fried egg and a toasted bagel to top it off. Some of the typical pho toppings like bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, and jalapeños, made this dish taste quite familiar, yet having this brunch version was interesting. I love the take on one of my favorite Asian dishes and had never seen it brunchetized before. I would highly recommend to any pho lovers who are open to a unique take on this Vietnamese cuisine to give this a try."

Dry Stack Roastery & Coffee Bar

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"My son has been staying in Danville and suggested we enjoy Dry Stack before heading back to Louisville. Fantastic choice! My family of 4 enjoyed lunch and drinks. The space is large with several seating options, including swinging egg chairs in the front window. We were excited by the food menu and couldn't resist ordering. The homemade biscuit with bacon, egg and cheddar cheese was phenomenal. Same sentiment for my iced lavender latte. My son complimented his moch frappe and my husband enjoyed his chicken salad croissant, which came with chips. This is only a sampling of the menu. If we lived nearby I'm sure we'd continue trying the rest of the items (biscuits, sandwiches, pastries). Merchandise is available for purchase. Some seating areas offer long tables for study groups or board games. Street parking in front of store. Staff was friendly and helpful. My son noted this has been the same experience during his visits. This shop introduced him to options he's not tried before. Danville, take good care of this spot!"

Robo's Drive In

★★★★☆ 4.4 (32) • $

"Love the new grilled chicken wraps! The food always comes out fresh and taste so good. Great milkshakes too!"

Domino's Pizza

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (4)

"They get the orders done quickly. You can track it from the time you place the order until it is picked up or delivered. I've ordered online as well as in store, and my order has always been accurate. The pizza has been a little dry lately, but no major complaints."

Sub Station II

★★★★☆ 4.1 (64) • $

"Got hungry on our drive from MI to TN. Drove by two national "sub" shops on the "way" to Sub Station II. So glad we did! Ordered the Ultimate and was not disappointed. So much meat! My wife chose the 3 cheese and veggie. 2 halves was plenty to fill us both up. Had a great conversation with the owner about driving and eating. He said he provides special bags to keep all the goodies from dripping on your lap on the road. He was not wrong... great customer service with an owner and employees who care. Who wouldn't want to support them!"

Big City Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (19)

"The pizza is very good but unfortunately I don't always have an hour and a half to wait for pizza. I'll be back for sure but definitely don't go for a quick bite because you may be there for a while."

Shamrock Bar & Grille

★★★★☆ 4.2 (156) • $

"It rocks! I love their O rounds and chips !Have been going there for over 20 years and have never had a bad meal"

JK's At Forest Grove

★★★★★ 4.7 (37) • $

"Seems small but the food has a big taste. I ordered the open face roast beef with coleslaw and a little peanut butter pie for dessert. Everything was served quick by friendly people and the food was delicious. Give this place a try."

Crave Cafe And Catering

★★★★★ 4.5 (79) • $

"I'm from NKY and my son goes to physical therapy 3x a week at Frazier Uof L . While he's doing his thing I have been checking out the town and this restaurant cafe was fabulous! Home made soups were superb and their selection of hot and cold sandwiches were amazing! Service was quick. There's an alley behind the building that leads to a parking lot behind the building. Order at the counter and they will bring your food to you. I will definitely go back!!"

Soupy's

★★★★☆ 4.4 (90) • $

"Soupy's is a hikes point community sandwich and soup shop in the city of Louisville Kentucky. After seeing this establishment for several years and curious what they have to offer I finally stopped in to check them out. We parked and I was walking towards the door and I can see a worker walk up to make sure the door was locked by aggressively yanking on. Kinda a rude way of informing someone it's drive thru only. However, I was here and didn't let that rudeness stop me from doing through the drive thru. We were the only ones there at the moment so we processed and got the order really quickly. I personally ordered whole ham sandwich and got a side of chili. My wife ordered a tuna salad sandwich with some chicken and dumplings. I will say they are fairly priced. Not too expensive by any means. We got our order and parked in the parking lot and ate in our cars. My wife chicken and dumplings was super watery. Said it had good flavor but way too much water. Her sandwich she said was just ok. Pretty standard run of the mill and she said "it's not like it's terrible but it's nothing I'll run back to try". My ham sandwich i felt the same way. Pretty standard. Not bad by any means. But it very much had the i stopped by the deli market and made a sack lunch sandwich for my kids school field trip vibe to it. The chili I enjoyed. Wasn't anything ground breaking but I do love the fact that they offer chili with or without noodles. Team noodles over here. For those who said if you add noodles it makes it spaghetti mu counter is always if you don't have noodles it's just tomato soup with meat. Overall this is a solid and cool little hikes point land marker. The food here to me was just ok. The service annoyed me slightly. The pricing and the fact that there chili has noodles in it is my two favorite things."

Norman McDonald's Country Drive-In

★★★★★ 4.8 (10) • $

"We love Norman McDonalds! This country gem is worth a little drive out of Owensboro for an awesome meal. The service is great, food is great, prices great and yes the atmosphere is true dining in a little country diner.Try the corn doggers, wonderful burgers, fries (curly or straight cut) delicious fresh salads and fried green tomatoes. Save room for a chocolate malt or other delicious treat."

Big Papa’s Smokehouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (9)

"I have been spoiled y'all. Big Papa's Smokehouse in Lebanon is hands down THE best BBQ I've ever had in my 50 years on this planet. I'm telling you I'm gonna make the drive more often. You can tell they take pride in their craft and that is smokin meat. We ordered the Big Papa's Smoked Meat Sampler and shared it. It included brisket, pulled pork and ribs. When I tell you it was tender it was tender. Full of flavor from start to finish. The ribs fell off the bone and I swear I probably looked like a caveman eating them. I swear hands down perfection. And it was a first for me in regards to Smoked cabbage. I've never even heard of smoked cabbage before; but, by golly, it's phenomenal. You know the meals that stick out as dang good food and memorable???? This is gonna be one. It's that yummy!!!!!! They are gonna be moving to a new location across from Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken soon which we're told is gonna have outside seating and be a more intimate setting. Right now it's in a shopping plaza. I'm excited for them and I appreciate their passion for meat. They really have the meats!!!Please go see them!!!!"

Mr D's Wholesale Pizza & Supplies

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Best pizza in town without a doubt, hands down. You can taste the full flavor of the ingredients and not just the taste of cheap pizza sauce and crust like the national chains."

Tacolandia

★★★★★ 4.6 (5)

"Our food experience was enhanced by the delightful arrival via the Kitty Cat Robot, which delivered everything with remarkable speed and quality. I ordered the Cubana torta, which was not only enormous but also steaming hot, accompanied by perfectly seasoned fries. My partner chose the El Maximo, filled with delectable pork al pastor--it was truly the largest burrito we've ever encountered! We ended up taking half of it home with us. After such a satisfying meal, a nap is definitely in order. To complement our dishes, we had fresh horchata and pineapple frescaa, both absolute perfect additions that made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Go there now for something special and new in Louisville!"

Big City Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (26)

"Cute little hole in wall. Good pizza, good vibe. Service was great!! Very friendly staff"

Murrini Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (5)

"Murrini is an expansion of the Arts Center of the Bluegrass, also adjacent to the "Fern" gift shop. This is more of a lunch/small plates venue. Nice meeting spot for the area, bright and open, with a decent selection of charcuterie, small sandwiches, soups, and salads.We had the charcuterie board, with three cheeses, two meats (salami and country ham), crackers, bread, grapes, olives, nuts. Very large board. Was bummed there was a large hair in some of our cheese, but things happen.We also had the pimento in greens. Pimento was creamy, but lacked seasoning. The Murrini trio came with the previously mentioned pimento cheese, hummus (also under-seasoned, but also creamy), naan, crackers, and pickled veggies. The pickled veggies appeared to be made on site and were great!The deviled egg flight we had, supposedly three different flavors, also lacked pizazz. Not bad, just not much else either.We also had tea, water, and mimosas (Prosecco out of the bottle into orange juice).They also have lemon and basil burrata, a roasted veggie sandwich, a turkey club. Their dinner selections are limited to: pasta and spinach, pot roast, a toasted sesame salmon bowl, and the seared seafood salad.You go up to the counter to order. This is not a spot where you have a specific server to your table. Service was as good as it could be. There were two servers/cashiers. Both very kind and helpful, but very young and basically doing the best they could without any sort of oversight or management.I would come here again for a meet up or basic light lunch. But it's not a place you'd take your out of town friends or take people to impress them."

Rocky Tops Pizza

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"From the very first order, this Pizza joint has stood out. Their pizzas are always delicious. With generous toppings, never having received a burned pie, and the staff are always friendly. It's always clean with a laid back vibe and the aroma of those delicious pizza pies cooking is amazing!! Go get a Rocky Tops pizza, you'll be glad you did!"

Kitchen 1883

★★★★☆ 4.3 (275) • $$

"Great find near a Kroger. 3-6pm is happy hour with a nice array of appetizers. The $5 beer cheese with pretzels is great. Hubs had the ribs with smashed herbed potatoes. The ribs are rubbed and sauce is on the side. I had the chicken and waffles. It came with a cayenne maple syrup. The spice level was not too much. They were sandwiches that looked really good and the salads were huge. Stephanie our server kept our tea full. We have enough for a midnight snack or lunch tomorrow."

Woo Hoo II

★★★★★ 4.6 (133) • $

16th

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7)

"We arrived when they opened at 5:00 so we walked right in and they quickly filled all of the tables! My husband ordered grilled pork tenderloins and broccoli soup which were delicious. Such a nice clean, upscale ambiance where we actually enjoyed conversation without raising our voices. Planning to make that brief drive from Elizabethtown agin!"
