Kessaney Melton
the absolute best food and best dining experience i've had in a while. highly recommend!!!!
Judy Riddell
Great breakfast! They have the best pancake.
Myles Barlow
Everything we got was exceptional. The build your own breakfast sandwich with the biscuit was top notch. The sourdough pancake didn’t need anything else on it and was lovely. The cinnamon roll was made from a great piece of bread, and the cream cheese frosting wasn’t too sweet, very tasty.
Mel Berry
I love that DV8 offers second chance employment! The food was delicious. The cinnamon roll is a must try! The employees were nice and helpful.

Amanda Pelesky
This was a great find on our trip to Lexington. If I lived in the area, this would definitely be a frequent stop. The food was excellent. Hands down the best sausage gravy I have ever had and the strawberry cinnamon roll was incredible. Grabbed a jar of the strawberry jam and a loaf of sourdough to go. The artsy ... decor and relaxed atmosphere made the whole dining experience even better. Will definitely stop again if I'm passing through in the future. Read More

Dishes ordered were chicken marmalade sandwich, breakfast burrito, strawberry cinnamon roll, and banana nut muffin. All of which was really good. The fried chicken was very crunchy with a good glaze. The coffee bar was very good as well.
