Windy Corner Market Review

Neat place to visit. Food is average. If you like bourbon flavored sauces etc they have those in the store.

This is a small, locally owned restaurant in eastern Lexington. They have a large selection, spanning salads, meats, and sandwiches. The sides were good, and the beer cheese pretzels were excellent. I went on a Friday, and they were exceptionally busy, so plan for a wait. I definitely recommend Windy Cornwr.

We really wanted to like this place, based on other reviews. It's a pretty location with outside picnic tables. We ordered to go. They prepared it for eating in, so had to box it. By the time we got it to our hotel, the food was cold. I expected it to not be piping hot, but the time to re-box it took too long. My pulled pork basket came with beans (not the typical baked beans, but tasty), coleslaw (pretty bland), pulled pork (very dry with just a dribble of barbecue sauce) and a hoecake (dry pancake). My husband's Kentucky Boy was tasty, but dry meat and not enough sauce to save it. Do not recommend this place.

Everything we tried was excellent. I'm probably alone in this but I did think it was a tiny bit expensive for what it is. I'm sure it's quality stuff but our lunch cost what a dinner at a nice steakhouse would run. We'll still go back, there's other things to try. We'll just have to plan accordingly budget wise.

Went there for the first time today with my boyfriend for my birthday! The place is very cute, small but cozy. Love the area it's in, very pretty. The food was good! We both got Po boys and the dessert. The people there were very nice as well. They didn't use the pandemic as an excuse to avoid customers at any costs lol. Will be going back!

Food Fun Adventure Saturday first took us out to the Windy Corner. I think this place is a neat looking place with a lot of outdoor seating. The staff is extremely nice. The food on the other hand is just not that good.
We started with the fried pickles. The batter is not bad even if it was slightly salty, but they were fried to a golden brown. The pickles were thicker than most fried pickle orders and the outside skin was very tough and hard to chew. They serve them with ranch dipping sauce that was decent though.
I tried the Windy Corner burger and I added bacon jam. The bacon jam was okay, but I like mine a little sweeter. The part that I found lacking was it was only on half of the burger and part of it dropped onto the basket soaking the bun and making it mushy. The french fries that were served with the sandwich were under cooked and mushy as well.
We also tried the Catfish sandwich. It was overcooked and rubbery. The sauce they out on the sandwich really did not have any taste and only added a greasy taste to the sandwich. The same pickles were on both sandwiches, and they were still hard to chew. The bread however was not bad that the catfish was served on. The peanut butter cookie we tried was pretty good, and it is a huge cookie.
This is the second time that we have tried this restaurant and I do not believe we will go back. Like I said everyone is extremely nice, and it is a cool looking place. I just do not feel the food equals the ambience or the location. Feel free to try this place out on your own.
The fat man says it is Not Fat Man Approved.

Really great outpost in rural Fayetteville Co. and well worth the trek. Portions are huge and price is reasonable. Atmosphere is laid back and friendly. Besides the food, one of my favorite things is that you pay up front, and there s also products available for purchase to take home (like pickles, chocolate, salsa, coffee, and more). Hit it up y all.

Had the pulled pork sandwich with a side salad and unsweet tea. Order process was easy and food arrived quickly. Delicious! Oops, forgot that I had butterscotch soft serve ice cream for dessert.

What a fantastic hidden treasure. The barbecue plate was delicious. Can't believe I have never been here before. Will definitely come back!

Small, out of the way local shop/food place in an old area building. Only tried the fries pickles and those were excellent. Need to go back when hungry :)
