First, as far as I know, this is the only place at Lex which serves fried mushrooms, which I love! It’s juicy and delicious!

We also ordered tenders which were a bit over fried. The pizza was good though.

They were late in bringing the starter bread. They originally forgot and we asked them to bring. Then, they brought after 3-5 minutes.

Generally, I dint like the atmosphere. The tables are placed really closed next to each others and the lights are not good at all.

Me and my boyfriend stumbled upon this restaurant and it is a gem! The service was wonderful. Collin, our server, had great conversation and was very welcoming, making the experience memorable. Every dish we had was delicious full of flavor. I had the manzo parmesan pasta, and it was amazing!

If you’re after great pasta and even better service, this is the place to be. Highly recommended!

P. S. We are even coming back for lunch tomorrow seeing as they offer lunch deals.

Went out to dinner tonight for my husband’s birthday. The food was not only incredible, but we had the most fun time with our server Colin. He really amplified the experience for our party of 6.
Favorite dishes:
Eggplant Parm (highly suggest trying with the vodka sauce)
Bourbon barrel burger
Chicken alfredo

Do yourself a favor and leave room for the bread pudding!

Collin is the best!!! I’ve visited several times now, as he recommended by far one of my favorite Vegetarian dishes. He goes above and beyond across the board! My food, always right on the money. Best quality service and food, so much, I keep coming back! On my birthday, Collin really touched my heart. I love his Spirit! Thank you!!

This place is amazing. I loved everything I’ve had over the past two days and will definitely keep coming back to try more of the menu.
The service was outstanding. Colin was super funny, welcoming, and gave great recommendations. I came here one day, loved it so much, and had to come back the next day.
On my first visit, I had the pasta alla vodka and the meatballs, and both were excellent. I highly recommend the meatballs. My girlfriend ordered the Manzo Parmesan Pasta, it was so creamy. On my second visit, I got the chicken parm and my girlfriend ordered the spaghetti. The chicken parm was fantastic, it had perfect adhesion, was so crispy, and so good.
We also tried the pepperoni pups, which were amazing, crunchy, cheesy, and served with an incredible marinara sauce.
For dessert, the limoncello cake was very lemony with the perfect texture. I also tried the bread pudding and tiramisu, and both were really good.
My favorite items were the meatballs, Manzo Parmesan Pasta, and the limoncello dessert. Sorry for rambling, I just had a really amazing experience.

We arrived late In afternoon when restaurant was not busy. After we stood at the entrance for about 5 minutes someone came to seat us. Not sure if he was the usual server or manager, but he was nice. Our drinks had little ice in them and I guess we drank fast because we waited a little too long for refills, especially when the main course was out. On a positive note most of the dishes were pretty good. I expected more olives etc in the Chefs salad but there was a good portion of meat in it. Bread was crisp and soft inside, dipping oil was bland but we added more pepper. Sandwich was more like Subway than a restaurant style sub. Mushrooms were perfect and the stuffed pepperoni ball was an interesting surprise. Overall some minor improvements needed but nothing major. Bathroom was clean and smelled really nice and the restaurant ambiance was fun to look at.

Our first time here, and we couldn’t wait to leave. The service was absolutely terrible. I hate to say it, but it seemed like our waitress was on something. She brought garlic butter and plates for the starter bread and we never got it. Didn’t have Diet Pepsi, fine we’ll take diet mt dew. Didn’t get it for 15 minutes. The waitress never checked on us until the food came out. The appetizer came out with the mains. Shrimp Alfredo was very bland but chicken parm was pretty good. We were gonna get the tiramisu, but we didn’t want to see how long it would take to get it. Even if we wanted it, she brought the check without even asking if we wanted dessert. We’re getting froyo instead.

Just a great hometown place! Friendly service. Great food. I don’t know what more you could ask for. They make their dishes from scratch. Usually the owner is walking around. I don’t find I’ve ever had a bad experience.

Pepperoni pups are delicious, bread is just enough to get you primed, Lasagna is devine, chicken gorgonzola has amazing flavor, and the garlic bread has the perfect amt of garlic and cheese. The chocolate cake is a little dense and rich but good, definitely share it!! Definitely recommend. Ash was a fantastic waitress as well!

I took the family here for Mother’s Day 2024, and this was our first experience with Sutton’s. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess who seated us moments later as we had a 7 PM reservation for a group of four. I get the feeling that they were understaffed as people were waiting, yet not all tables were full. Perhaps Sutton’s is experiencing some of the same difficulties as other establishments are with finding people who are worth training who will work. We were greeted promptly by our server, and drink orders were taken. Soon after our food orders were taken and the food came out shortly after that. All of the dishes ordered were good. The pasta wasn’t overcooked, and the sauces were flavorful. The only complaint made was made by my lovely wife, who, on Mother’s Day, didn’t get enough sauce to go with her pasta that was supporting her chicken parmesean. Aside from the sauce issue, we all enjoyed ourselves. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Update to my earlier review from Mothers Day 2024, 7/16/24. My family and I were all greeted with smiles and welcoming greetings. The manager came over and introduced his name and listed the specials. Drink orders were taken and shortly returned.

The food and the portions were very good, and no one left hungry. Our waitress was very attentive to us and our orders.

I must say that this was the kind of experience that I have come to expect from the nicer restaurant. I will be returning to Suttons again. Great work, Sutton’s!
