Mouse Trap

Just coming back to say that this place is as awesome as the last time I reviewed them! I swung by right before the big storm and picked up a few easy sandwich making staples. Their pimento cheese, chicken salad and amazing amazing potato salad always hits the spot for me. Don't forget about them!

A great place to stop in for sandwiches!We placed a to go order at The Mouse Trap with family in town and it made for the perfect lunch. There is a wide variety of bread options, sandwich fillings, and toppings. I had the tuna salad and loved the fresh dill! We will definitely remember this spot the next time we're looking for a good sandwich!

The food is delicious, quick, and easy deli ordering. I hate to agree, but I have also experienced, every time I go, subpar interactions with staff that made me feel like they were extremely inconvenienced to be doing their job. A worker once huffed when I asked to leave a tip on my card.

Apparently you need to call 24 hours in advance to make a DoorDash order. No restrictions on DoorDash in place. Didn't even provide the complete order. Such a shame, since the food is fantastic. Got to love passive aggressive customer service...

A nice upscale place for a good, clean, refreshing lunch.I've had sandwiches there a few times. It is always good.The prices aren't bad, but a little higher than I would expect. I'm sure the rent is very high though.It is located next to the Fire Station on Tates Creek road - inside the New Circle road. Easy to get to and plenty of parking.There are many other items to browse and purchase in The Mousetrap.If you haven't been there before - stop in. You will be glad you did.

A friend mentioned recently that The Mouse Trap has great, homemade soups that change daily, so I decided to head down there for lunch today to see what they were offering--Potato/Bacon and Italian Rice and Beans.I went with the Potato/Bacon and it is truly delicious! Loaded up with chunks of potato and lots of bacon, it really hit the spot on this chilly day. I added a bit of salt and plenty of cracked pepper, which I recommend as potato soup usually needs a bit of both.To accompany it, I got a roast beef and swiss sandwich with horseradish sauce. The price of the sandwich ($8.99) had me a little concerned about the value, but it was absolutely loaded with beef and cheese, easily two meals for me, if I add chips, which I did!If you haven't been there, it's basically a deli-style operation. You place your order with one clerk, who gives the orders to a couple of people who assemble the orders. There were several indecisive customers ahead of me, so it took a while for me place my order. Then, since there were orders ahead of mine being prepared, I had to wait about ten minutes for my order to be prepared. No big deal, they have a ton of great merchandise to wander around and check out. Point being, make sure you have time to wait around a bit if you go during lunchtime.Highly recommended!

These people are so incredibly rude I was SHOCKED. Sandwiches are delicious but served with a large side of attitude.

I have come here pretty regularly for years. It is a combination of a cheese shop, gift shop, deli and gourmet kitchen supply shop. They have high end and imported items and foods. All very high quality.As far as the prepared food goes. Chris is a capable and excellent chef. They offer deli sandwiches and prepared foods like grilled salmon, grilled shrimp, beef tenderloin, crab cakes, personal-sized meat loaves, asparagus, potatoes, quiches, salads, etc. They offer 3 different homemade soups each day and they are always excellent. I had the split pea and ham soup today and I always check to see when they will be making it again. They also do amazing party trays. I love their sauces and Zapp's potato chips. It stays pretty busy all day long but noonish is usually when you may not find a seat. Take out is great too. They even offer prepared dinners that you can pick up on your way home from work.They are known for their Pimento Cheese and they sell a lot of it. It has been imitated but never duplicated. Many of the recipes are from the owner's mother and they were passed down for generations.Nice place. In summary it is a unique experience for lunch and the retail shop is fantastic. Most everything is unique and hard to find. To be fair, I need to mention the downside. The only drawback is the price. It is quite expensive relatively speaking especially when anything warm has to be microwaved except for the soup.. Otherwise I have no complaints.

Pimento cheese is 10/10. I get it frequently and it's always consistent. The female staff not as friendly as the males. Mouse Trap is a Lexington staple!

My wife just got a sandwich for me. I am appalled. It doesn't have all the toppings I ordered, and they are written on the receipt. Lettuce is the number one topping, how do you miss that??!! it's so tiny I would called a finger sandwich. Cannot believe you charge $10 for it.
