I was a long time customer of Alfalfa, when they were on campus and even as they moved to downtown Lexington. However, their service has become atrocious. I was willing to give them another chance but they lost it. We arrived mid morning on a Sunday and were given a 45 minute wait (to be expected). The 45 minutes turned... more

I went there with my fiance for brunch on a Sunday. It was VERY busy. They offer vegetarian dishes and lots of healthy food - but I still got my bacon and eggs (thank God).

I will never return to Alfalfa's! I have had horrible wait staff, served cold food and when I complained they heated it up in a microwave that was visible to customers, no refills, waiting over 45 minutes for a check while the waitress goofed around with her friends and just mediocre food (if it was even that!). If the food... more

Alfalfa's is a local treasure. There will be a wait for sunday brunch, but the service is usually friendly and great. Love the Avacado grill, have salivating dreams about it sometimes. :) more

Expect a wait for Sunday Brunch, BUT they serve coffee to people in line. It is worth the wait so enjoy the cup. more

This is an old favorite of ours. My husband and I have been eating at Alfalfa's for many years. This particular evening I had the Alfalfa Avocado Grill with their cold cucumber soup. My husband ordered the Hoppin' John and cold cucumber soup. To start off with the soup was fantastic. Very refreshing. My sandwich was great, as always, it... more
