We love OBC kitchen and always try to eat here when we're in Lexington. The food is always fantastic, the service phenomenal, and their selection of bourbon and wines is outstanding. We both had the fried chicken this time, and it did not disappoint! Crispy, tender, with a bit of a bite. The atmosphere is warm and cozy and can't be beat.

Brunch was good but average for the experience. I wouldn’t go back for a girls brunch or any experience, actually. Apparently, bottomless mimosas happen on Sundays but unfortunately, we went on Saturday. Go to Winchills for breakfast.
