Reviews for The Southern Deli & Tavern in Lexington, KY
Never been here, but stopped in for something different. Place was very nice; loved the décor. Not knowing what to do when... I walked in it took me a minute to realize I had to walk up to the counter to order and seat myself at any open table. Noproblem, just through me off. So, just throwing out a choice and not really reading into it I ordered the "southern". It waseverything the menu said it was. LOTS of meat, I had to eat it with a plastic fork because it wouldn't fit in my mouth.. Served on paper plates with plastic fork and knife. It was good, not amazing but that is on me. I am not much on pimientocheese with a hamburger. should have noticed that on the menu. You get a lot of food for what you pay, but be prepared topay. I had the Southern and a Dt Coke and it was $23.00 with tip. as you can see from the pics.. it was a monster. Iwill be back to try other things. Staff was cordial and I did not wait maybe 5 min for my food. Again, I will be back to tryother things. Read more
This place is great! Very cozy and the staff super friendly. The burger and wrap was very good with obvious fresh ingredients.... Meat is also locally sourced and very tasty! Read more
We had never been to the Southern Deli & Tavern so we stooped in for lunch one day. The staff was friendly and our food came out... quickly. It wasn't very busy. The club sandwich and burger we ordered was okay. The club was definitely the better of the twobut would have liked a little more love cooked into everything - the sandwich had one piece of bacon broken into thirds andplaced on different layers, it didn't necessarily look like food/menu images I had seen online and was kind of thrown togetherextra quickly. A little pricey for lunch - for 2 sandwiches that came with chips (we subsituted fries and a very small side ofcucumber salad) with two west sixth draft beers, it was around $40/$45. Read more
Awesome restaurant, very welcoming with great staff. The food is very fresh and well prepared. The San Clemente was spot on.
Stopped by for lunch while exploring Louisville. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, great food. If in downtown take a short walk... check them out. Read more
I have been attempting to try this place for a few months and finally managed to get downtown to do just that. At first glance... you have to be looking for the restaurant because although I like the front entrance the sign is not very large in size and ifyou are just driving by you may miss it. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and asked if I was dining in or looking fortakeout and then handed a menu. The woman behind the bar was very personable and was chatting with a few regulars. I ordered theNashville with french fries at the bar and paid immediately then sat down and waited for the food. Food came nice and fast. Asseen in pictures attached it is a large plate of food so certainly a solid portion. I enjoyed the meal. Chicken was cooked welland not over saturated with the Nashville Hot sauce and a good flavor. The Fries had some type of seasoning that was also a goodflavor. All in all the food was good and was a good price especially for the portion size. Only feedback I could give would bearound the service. The food was dropped off by I am assuming the person that cooked it and possibly the owner. He did checkback with me once to ask if all was okay. Beyond that no table service at all. Any refills you need are on your own and I didn'tknow until after ai went back up to the bar to get a refill and then was told I could refill myself over in corner. Nothing thatwould prevent me from coming back and I enjoyed the overall feel of the place. A few unique offerings and this is someplace Iwill try again. Read more
Nice deli! The sandwich was delicious and the side potatoes were a bit spicy and seemed to go well with alcohol. There were many... types of lemonade, all of which were good. Read more
