We came here on a Thursday evening, and it was packed. The Thai chili chicken wings are delicious. The Brussels sprouts are also delicious but a bit too oily. The fries that come with the fried chicken sandwich is really crispy. The wedge salad is great. Overall, we had a great dining experience here.

Wings were flavorful, French fries were cold and soggy, Mac and cheese was crispy but almost no cheese, pickles were delicious and very garlicky, soda was good but unfortunately was never refilled. Parking was difficult to find and there was a long wait more due to slow servers. Multiple tables were ready to check out and seemed to just be waiting around for their server. Likely wouldn’t visit again.

We really enjoyed the food. Smash burger was great, ahi was really nice and steak was delicious. Atmosphere: decor was cool but simple, but it was so noisy it was hard to hear each other. Very tight and compact area that could be better tabled. Maybe the plan was to be more of a bar but the food is too good to be bar focused. The customer interaction as we came in was a little awkward but once we sat at our table it normalized. The outside is adorable and welcoming. Theme fits in Lexington very well. We’ll be back.

Beautiful quaint restaurant and bar in downtown Lexington. The drinks were very good, we got dinner, the mac n cheese was my favorite. We also got the wedge salad (phenomenal, love the dried tomatoes and the cheese crisps on it. ), the garlic sandwich (very garlic heavy, but if you like that, it’s very good), and the fried chicken sandwich (the cucumbers were a little weird but in a good way. The chicken was very crispy.) The sandwiches came with shoestring fries, very crispy (if you like soft fries, definitely not for you.) Great atmosphere and the waitress gave great suggestions.

Amazing place! Tiny but snug in the beautiful Lexington downtown, I really enjoyed the smaller menu and amazingly interesting offerings. I tried the steak sandwich – divine. An odd sounding lemon aioli made this one of the best sandwiches ive ever had. Even the fries came with a unique and delicious dipping sauce.
No, food was not this place’s issue. In fact, the only area this place consistently missed on was greeting and seating. I watched several new parties repeat my intro experience; walk in, wait a while to get noticed and then helped by a friendly server. No host/hostess, nothing to indicate if I shout sit or wait to be seated…it was just clunky. My server was great, but this first impression means they had some catching up to do out of the gate.
All told, a GREAT experience. I cant wait to go back, and I see many visits to Lexington in my future! I look forward to dining there again.

We went here for Valentine’s Day and the wait was worth it! I had the lamb chops and they were incredible. My husband had the Korean rice bowl – also super yummy and fresh. I got two different mocktails that were delicious and we split the churros for dessert which was the perfect end to the meal! The owners are so nice and they’ve done a wonderful job making an awesome dinner spot. Would definitely come back!

The food is truly delicious; it reminded me of Mexican flavors, especially because of their famous macha sauce, and the cocktails are also fantastic. I would definitely go back.

Such a cozy spot with delicious food! We shared the steak sandwich, Ahi tuna tostada, Thai wings, and Brussels sprouts – everything was perfect. The food was hot upon drop off and everything was an explosion of flavor, including the cocktails. The menu is imaginative, unique and a true slice of heaven in Lexington. Every time we travel from Texas, we have eat dinner here. It’s all very affordable too, and the quality is fantastic. Can’t recommend enough!!!

Some of the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had. Very good cocktail called The Firm. Korean rice bowl also delicious Sat in 2 seats at the bar, which worked well for dinner. They were playing the Olympics on TV, which was fun. Small and somewhat loud.

Whenever I see a small menu, I think that the chef is putting all of his efforts into making what is offered excellent. This certainly is the case here at Harden’s. The food is excellent and served in a classic and classy atmosphere. Although I did not try the cocktails, the descriptions looked creative and like they would be delicious. I can’t wait to come back and sample the rest of the menu and cocktails.
