Minglewood

The food, decor and service are stellar! I was born and raised in Lexington, but moved to Georgia after graduating undergrad where I have remained since. We didn't have anything as unique, inviting with such engaging service when I was growing up and going to school in Lex! This collage is from a trip in 2017 and I still think of this place often 7 years later. I only wish I could stop in at least once a week for a bite and the exceptional, kind and genuine people that work and tend to patronize this one of a kind place! Can't recommend enough - if you're considering just do it!

I've only been there one time. It was with a friend. She asked for a special request and they politely accommodated her. The food was good. I only had a salad... dieting at the time. It was nice and fresh. The service was good nothing bad or exceptional but acceptable. The ambiance is very nice and comfortable. White tablecloth indicated a upper class restaurant which they did. The place manages to make you feel welcome and comfortable with good food which can sometimes be difficult for establishments. Quita did it again! I enjoyed it and definitely want to return. I'm currently on a difficult, renal diet for my kidney transplant which hinders my choices quite a bit. The menu isn't extensive which I prefer but I want to go when I can enjoy myself as f I could. much as possible!!! Nice place to take friends! I give it a 4.5 I

Interesting vibes at Minglewood, I came on a Friday night and it was moderately busy. I called beforehand and was able to reserve a table, but upon arriving there was no host. We found a server who led us to our table. The menu was quite short and seems as though it may change regularly based on the fact it was different from what I saw in previous Yelp Reviews. I did not find very many appealing vegetarian options, but they do have an all-day brunch menu. I had the creamy mushroom pasta with no added meat, it was okay, nothing special. My friend had the nacho appetizer and was also relatively unimpressed. Our drinks were the best part, a blackberry mule which did not have the price listed on the menu (it was $11.50). For the price ($14 pasta), I was not impressed with the food here. The decor was cute and music decent, but I would rather come here just for cocktails next time. PS-- they do not accept Discover cards.

Looking for a funky vibe and friendly faces? This is the place! Our food was amazing and the server didn't bat an eye when I ordered a Cali Burger with a fried egg and no burger! The chef took pride in her food and it was seasoned just right. Bonus, great cocktail!

Fat Man Reviews set out for a local lunch/brunch spot on a hazy Saturday morning. Minglewood is an easygoing, warm stop serving Southern-style comfort cuisine with global influences plus drinks.I started with a Cult of Personality drink made with Cazadores reposado tequila, orange liqueur, fresh mango juice, mezcal blueberry drizzle, soda, and basil. The orange and mango smell hits right away, then you taste the tequila, and there is a fair amount in the drink--the soda waters down the drink a bit and the blueberry is all at the bottom, so it only comes through a little. Once stirred and combined, everything makes for a sweet drink but a little thick. My fiancé tried the Eggs Your Way, which comes with three eggs any way you like; she chose scrambled with cheese. The meal has three pieces of bacon, house potatoes, and French toast. The potatoes are cooked to a crunchy outside with a soft creamy inside and are seasoned well. The French toast was a little stale, with lots of cinnamon, but it had a good chew. The eggs are cooked well, fluffy, and light. Her bacon was thin and had a good crunch to it. The portions are not huge, but it is filling.I had the Cali Burger, cooked medium, with pepper jack, bacon, avocado, fried egg, heirloom tomato, and herb aioli with hand-cut fries. The fries are good and crunchy with proper seasoning. My burger had a good-sized patty, cooked to an appropriate medium with a good amount of seasoning. The burger was on a brioche bun, and the ratio was almost equal from burger to bun. The entire burger and condiments are a big bite, but not so big most people couldn't eat it. The pepper jack is not very spicy, and the sandwich could use the kick of heat. The bacon was crunchy with a slight chew, while the tomato was sliced thick. The egg yolk and avocado combine for a creamy, fatty bite. I wish I could get more of the herb Aioli, as it gets lost under everything else.Minglewood offers a full bar and canned beer. They have a small menu with brunch on Saturday and Sunday. The staff was amiable. This is a smaller restaurant, so there may be a wait. The Fat Man says that Minglewood is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin.

Minglewood is one of my favorite spots, and I had a great brunch experience this weekend! This is such a cool location downtown, and while I'm stillSad for their more limited post-COVID menu, the food quality is still so high. Great deals on drinks for brunch too!

This is a gem located in Lexington. The menu is not big but everything looked delicious. We started out with Bloody Mary's and they were delectable. I ordered the fried egg tostado. The black beans were so full of flavor. It was a fantastic breakfast. Our waitress was adorable and so much fun. The music was the 80s and we were dancing and laughing. Highly recommend and hopefully will be back

We originally stopped by to visit the restaurant next door but they closed early ( SOOOOOO annoying but I understand, it was raining and probably a slow day) but to OUR delight, this cute little spot welcomed us with open arms!! The staff were so friendly I thought we had won the literary! It was really the genuine friendly you hardly ever find. Our waitress recommended her favs and we went with Chicken wings- WHAAAT! These babies were my absolute favorite. They were probably the smallest pieces of chicken I'd ever seen which means it's probably reallllll chicken, the flavor was SOOOO unique and so was the dipping sauce. They were so good we couldn't stop eating them. - the guac with chips- HOW DO YOU MAKE HOMEMADE CHIPS THAT GIVE YOU THE VIBE THAT A CHEEZ IT AND A PITA HAD A BABY?!? The guac by it self hands down the best guac I've had and those unique chips... what... so good!! The burger- while I just needed a dash of Mayo because I'm THAT girl, I was SHOCKED to taste a burger that had a Smokey grilled on the bbq pit flavor made from a regular kitchen!! Such a SOLID burger. It was indeed a unique flavor and the chef came out and explained all she did was put salt and pepper on it. I said NO MAAAAM there's a pit hidden in your kitchen. The tostada- divine! Again all the flavors were just so uniquely place ever so effortless. Wow wow wow! French toast was a passsss. When you stumble upon greatness; your left with wanting more. And that my friends... was a very complete 5 star meal!! I really enjoyed Kentucky as a WHOLEEEE!

If I could give this place 10 Stars I would! My husband and I were traveling back home to Michigan after our trip to Mammoth Cave National Park. We had a fun afternoon of burbon drinking after camping and Desperately needed something to eat. Unfortunately, it was so late everything was closed. In a last ditch effort we spontaneously asked a passing local of ANY WHERE we could eat He immediately pointed us to Minglewood. We arrived an hour before close and quickly and apologetically ordered a couple cocktails and some food. I had the pimento hamburger and GIRL LEMME TELL YOU!!! Iv never had a hamburger more delicious in my entire life! It doesn't stop there, we then had the absolute pleasure of meeting the LADY BOSS (maybe the owner? I was pretty tipsy by then lol) She was AMAZING and after bonding of chef life and hearing how much I love chicken wings, she suggested they had the BEST and proceeded to make us an order HERSELF even tho they were pretty much closed! OH. MY. ACTUAL. GOSH...SHE WAS NOT WRONG! I can't tell you how serious I am when I tell you these were the BEST wings Iv ever had!! We are going to be camping in Smoky Mountains National Park for New Years weekend and have planned our trip specifically to include a stop here again for those wings! Do your mouth a favor and eat here. -Rose & Todd

Very hipster place with friendly and fast service. Small but nice inside, also has nice decor. Loud music indoors, but also has outdoor seating. Great and yummy food. Really enjoyed the Brussel sprout salad. I would recommend but not for big groups!
