Small town hole in the wall... exactly what we wanted! Food is good and prices are fair. Plenty of seating and parking.
Delicious food
Salads good every thing super yummy I would go there every day if I were u
I love this little cafe, the food is really good quality and the vegetables are sourced locally when available. I work in Lexington and on my way home I pass so many restaurants but often I’ll hold off until I get to crab orchard to get my food. A few years ago I wasn’t crazy about how the owners ran the business ( there was several issues with quality and customer service) but I believe it’s under new management because they are great now. Two thumbs up
Great food and always friendly, thank you
Best onion rings I've had in a while. Service was great, we had a cheeseburger and a Philly cheese sandwich, and both were delicious. Kinda rustic atmosphere, newspaper clippings from old issues that detail the history of the area, that was really cool.
A cozy small town Cafe. We visited just as holiday decorations were under way, can't wait to see them all up. Great food, affordable menu, good variety. Service was quick and friendly. The banter of older local couples reminiscent of past holidays was a bonus. Try the chocolate pie Do visit. Tip well. Support small business.
I ate there recently and it was great my hamburger was delicious and the battered fries are crunchy and the best sweet tea... they recently went through a management change and it seems to be doing much better I rate it 7/10
