Merrick Inn Restaurant

Everything about the Merrick Inn was fantastic, from the moment we walked up to the entrance to the bar area and dining room. The service was really good but the food was the star of the show. I had the chicken and waffles and that was some of the best fried chicken I've ever had. The Mrs tried the French toast and it was delicious. The couple with us tried the omelette which was perfectly cooked and the shrimp and grits were done of the best they had ever had! All in all it was a great choice and we will go back again for the Sunday fried chicken.

Merrick provided an awesome dining experience! The drinks,apps, and entrees were all very well prepared. Service was attentive, and we really enjoyed the covered outdoor patio!

Staying in Lexington overnight and found this wonderful restaurant on Trip Advisor (good at finding the best restaurants). Loved the heirloom tomatoes and the Kentucky Hot Brown. Both absolutely delicious. We split the heirloom tomatoes and should have split the Kentucky Hot Brown. Lovely restaurant, great service from Nathan and nice atmosphere.

Came here post wedding. Was some of the most tastiest and best prepared food I have ever had! Definitely will try the fried chicken next time because the table next to me only ordered that.

I never give a 5 star but we had such a good combination of family time, food and service I had to bend. We spent our Easter breakfast out of town here and it felt like I stepped into a country club. The service was terrific and topped by awesome food. We had a really great time and would certainly go back when we are in town again. I felt like a guest at a family dinner. We sat in the pool(?) Bar area, furthest from the main entrance. There isn't a pool anymore but that's the best description I can give. Shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles, French toast, eggs Benedict and the egg breakfast were consumed with gusto. We took some leftovers but they didn't last past evening. We also got candied bacon (yummers) and the bengniet, couldn't make a better choice. Before I could remember to take a picture, they were all gone.

My wife and I visited for the first time today. We had reservations for 2:00. When I saw the brunch menu I was disappointed. But I thought I’ll make the best of it. I was extremely pleased with everything from the food to the service and the atmosphere! The decor was great too!! We will be back to try the dinner menu soon!!! Thank you!

We wanted to do something special and different for my mom’s retirement. My SIL had been here before and she arranged everything and got our party of 10 a private room. All of us were more than pleased with the whole experience. There were a variety of different meals chosen and everyone could not stop talking how delicious everything was. I got the New York strip and it was honestly the best steak I’ve ever had. Our waitress was Emma and she was very sweet and did a terrific job and made my mom the priority by taking her order and bringing out her dishes first, while also being very attentive to everyone else’s needs. Highly recommend! Pictured is the pound cake my mom chose.

Everything about this place is spot on. We had a reservation for three an were seated immediately. Our waiter, Adam, was on the spot when we sat down and throughout the meal....I mean he was what you dream about in a waiter. Old school knowledgeable about the food, drinks and establishment. Adam engaged with us enough to let us know he cared but not enough to interfere with the three of us having a conversation. Not a notebook anywhere - he knew the food specials from memory and took our order with nothing written down - old school ability that is lost in todays fast food world. Adam asked about drinks and was quick to answer any question we had about anything. The food, well it was amazing and was flawless out of the kitchen. Meat was cooked perfect, Hot Brown was delicious and so much food and the fried chicken was out of this world - perfect crisp. We did the peanut butter pie for dessert and it was simply luxurious. The experience was worth every single penny and would do it again tomorrow. Love this place, the atmosphere and the service.
