Jackie’s Favorite Local Food Spots
Our favorite local food spots in Lexington.
The best place in town for handmade fresh doughnuts. Aside from the classic glazed doughnut, they also have daily specials like Bourbon Caramel, Maple Bacon and Espresso Chip. If you get there early, they're even more amazing straight out of the oven. We suggest getting a variety, you won't regret it!

Josie’s is voted one of the best breakfasts in Lexington. They serve breakfast all day. Omelets (including a veggie version), hearty breakfast plates, sausage, bacon, breakfast potatoes, pancakes, waffles and classics such as quiche of the day and sausage gravy and biscuits. Best cheesy grit casserole you'll ever have. There might be a bit of a wait but definitely worth it!

Smashing Tomato was homegrown in Lexington. They offer delicious authentic wood fired pizza. Their soups and salads are delicious too! We recommend the Margherita Pizza with a cup of tomato basil chicken soup. So good! Friendly staff, lots of seating and parking.
