I have been to the old Minton's a few times and wanted to check out their new location on National. Grabbed my daughter (her first time) and had some lunch! We ordered the Brunch on a Bun and some Pancakes with cinnamon roll icing on top along with Applewood bacon and a coffee (French Press). All new foods vs. what I have tried at Minton's before. FANTASTIC! The new location is a huge upgrade for space so much easier to enjoy a more private feeling meal and of course the service was also great. Assuming it's the owner that was our server, he has been my server every time I have gone at either location.

I went to Minton’s on a random Wednesday morning for brunch. There weren’t much people, because it was a random Wednesday obviously. The server was very friendly and we got seated pretty quickly. I got bottomless drip coffee on their hand made cute coffee cup. I got chorizo tacos with a side salad. It usually comes with Tater Tots but I substituted it for side salad (the least I can do to eat healthy lol). My wife got Tiramisu pancake and scrambled eggs. Overall, a good brunch afternoon!

In a world where it’s easier to complain than to compliment, this place deserves to be celebrated. ❤️ From the moment you walk in, the service is warm, attentive, and genuinely kind—something that’s becoming rare these days. The staff clearly cares about what they do and about the people they serve, and it shows in every fun sincere interaction. The food is consistently excellent—thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and made with pride. You can tell this is a business that puts heart into their work, not just checking boxes or rushing people through. . They show up, they treat people well, and they deliver quality every time. Lexington is lucky to have places like this, and I’ll happily continue supporting them and recommending them to others. Keep doing what you’re doing—you are appreciated more than you know! Love the new location

Need an easy place to go have brunch with a friend? This place is perfect. Need a place to celebrate a milestone event like graduation, wedding, or birthday? This place is perfect. Do you have no idea what you want or need in life, let alone for food? Again, this place is perfect. The staff will be able to provide you with recommendations and information that will allow you to leave the restaurant feeling like you just made the best food related choice of your life. They are also highly accommodating to food allergies and sensitivities. Each time I have left here I look forward to what I want to try next time. Can’t decide between indoor eating, outdoor eating, or kind of in the middle? Again, they have you covered. Even the bathrooms are clean enough you could probably eat in them if you really wanted. Afraid someone asked you to go out to a restaurant with them so that they could deliver bad news in a neutral place? The quiet and cozy atmosphere will instantly deter any sane human from creating a scene. This space is a quiet break from the noise of daily living. Great for getting a little work done for remote workers, students, and double-taskers. There is a parking lot right next to the building with free parking, so it is easy to get in and out. I highly recommend giving this place a shot!

We made a stop at this very cute local place on our to the airport after a conference. The service was amazing. Our server was attentive, had great recommendations and was very helpful. The atmosphere was airy and the food was delicious. I hade the fried green tomato BLT and the mocha martini. Bother were amazing. I recommend making this an intentional stop when come to Lexington.

This place has been on my list and it was the perfect fall morning to sit outside with company. The atmosphere is really relaxing and the menu is incredible. Our waitress Lexi was very accommodating. I wish Lexington had more brunch spots like this one.

Food was amazing! I tried biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, potatoes and French toast! That gravy was homemade, you can tell by consistency and sausage chunks. The best part for me was the mixologist! I had a coffee drink that's similar to an espresso martini but better! And one of the best French 75's , I've ever had; perfectly balanced using a Japanese Gin! I will be back for brunch and to experience their dinner service.

1st time experience. Our take away was 10 out of 10! We got sweet potato waffles and savory french toast. The food was amazing, the coffee was great, the service was superb, the atmosphere is stylish and cozy. Definitely will be back. Rooftop patio set to open come spring and they're now serving dinner menu on the weekends. I highly recommend.
