Sunday Brunch Spots
<p>The best way to wrap up your weekend in Lexington? With a delicious Sunday brunch.</p><p><br></p><p>For a traditional brunch with a Bloody Mary or breakfast cocktail, consider the farm-fresh fare at <strong>Haywood's</strong> or the Greek-American specialties at <strong>Niko’s Grille</strong> on Main Street. Another downtown option is <strong>The Palms</strong>, where buttermilk waffles with fried chicken give a nod to breakfast among a slew of enticing sandwiches. <strong>Devils Backbone Outpost Tap Room &amp; Kitchen </strong>serves a lunch-focused menu with burgers, sandwiches, and tacos. <strong>Macado's</strong> on Main Street serves their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with a beef hamburger. Add fruit as your side.</p><p><br></p><p>Order at the counter at <strong>Pure Eats</strong> then dig into donuts, breakfast sandwiches, and burgers on the patio. <strong>Sweet Treats</strong> is known for their desserts and pastries, but savory options are also on the menu. The Gertie’s Special at <strong>Gertie’s</strong> in Vesuvius comes with two pancakes, two eggs, and a side of bacon. Breakfast sandwiches, burgers, and subs are available too.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Breakfasts are the specialty at the <strong>Sunrise Diner</strong> on Nelson Street just east of downtown – it’s behind the Cook Out – and at <strong>IHOP</strong> on Route 11 at Lee-Hi Truck stop. You can enjoy brunch 24/7 at the <strong>Waffle House</strong> at the junction of Route 39 and Route 11 near the Virginia Horse Center.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>For a side of nostalgia, drive south to the <strong>Pink Cadillac</strong>. Dig into eggs, pancakes, biscuits, and burgers as well as The King – a grilled white-bread sandwich with peanut butter, bananas, and honey-drizzled bacon that would make Elvis proud. Full bar to open soon.</p>
Haywood's Restaurant
With its welcoming piano bar and patio, Haywood's provides lively entertainment. Down-to-earth dishes – both small plates and large – feature locally grown, seasonal ingredients.

Start with a shareable french toast appetizer, then dive in to a salmon Caesar salad. Perhaps an espresso martini will wake you up.
