Steis’s Village Inn

We ordered 3 pizzas to-​go on a Friday night: plain cheese, veggie and deluxe. The dough is too thin for my likes. The dough, like the sauce, was a bit too sweet. They didn’t put the green peppers on the deluxe (which was kind of funny since the menu says you cannot make substations on the specialty pizzas). Maybe the green peppers were bad that day. I think they tried to compensate with giving us a TON of mushrooms on it, which if you like canned mushrooms, that would be a wonderful thing. Since I don’t, it was a bummer. The quality of the cheese was okay, but they were stingy with it. Even on the just cheese pizza. The veggie had some great things on it: cauliflower, banana peppers, red peppers… but again, the menu said it should also have broccoli, and I couldn’t find any. I did like that they sprinkle oregano on the pizza. Maybe I was extra disappointed because years ago we had pizza from here and I remember i being so awesome that I think I ate a whole large by myself… or at least tried to.
So Saturday afternoon around 3 –4 pm, almost everything else in Lexington is closed and we find ourselves dining in at the bar. We looked the menu over the night before for our take out, and it seems like it has something for everyone. Kinda dicey, but not in a horrible way… I found it odd that the speakers were all playing the Lion’s game, but not one of the 4 TV’s in the area we were in were on. If I leaned to the left and tilted my head, I could see most of the TV over the bar… My husband and I didn’t really like what we ordered: the cheese soup was awful (barely warm glue with cajun seasoning sprinkled on top of it), my husbands walleye was overcooked to the point that it had a strange texture (and yet the batter was not super crispy), and my patty melt was just okay. It looked awesome: huge patty on good bread with caramelized onions. But the meat patty had no seasoning on it and the I couldn’t taste the onions for some reason. But the patty was cooked perfectly (I hate burger patties that have too much pink in them). The rest of the gang all said they liked what they had (perch basket, beef sandwich, and a chicken dish). The best thing there? They have AWESOME 5 star fries. I would actually go back just to get some. But just the fries. Service was lacking; my friend asked for a side of ranch when he placed his order and never got it. She brought a single soda refill to the table and then had to go back to get the tartar sauce someone asked for when she grabbed my cup to get the refill, 2 of us got our food before the rest of the group did, which is always a little awkward…
Next time I am in Lexington i will have better planning and bring a cooler…

Delish perch dinner here. Super busy but still wonderful service, …highly recommend. My husband use to work at a fish market and said perch was fresh and tasty.

Was here recently and planned on spending the evening listening to a band. I don’t eat pizza, but I hear that is their specialty-​I should have skipped the steak. So I’m done with my meal and sit around for two hours not approached once to buy a drink. I’m thinking ok it will be an inexpensive evening. Then the waitress arrives at our table at 1am to ask if I need anything. I told her it’s a bit late to start drinking now ditto my wife. They missed a good bet selling premium vodka all night, but I guess they were trying to insure I had a safe trip home?

Grew up in the area and remembered this place being much better 10 years ago. Went there with my dad today and it took awhile to get a server. Our server was nice, but I can’t say that I got a friendly vibe from anyone else. Drinks and food were mediocre. We left and went across the street to the Cadillac House and had a much better experience

Food was mediocre at best. Walleye dinner was ok, not fabulous. I asked for more lemon and got ONE slice. Dinner salad was lousy with the bowl half full with wilted lettuce and the only cucumber wad rotten. Waitress brought the salad with my dinner instead of before. What really ticked me off was the iced tea I ordered for $ 2.00. I asked for a refill and the waitress informed me there was a charge for refills. Terrible service. Really wish there were more restaurant choices in Lexington.

the service is slow and the beer in mason jars is a let down, but steis’s was one of the better places to get pizza in the area for a long time. it’s a dive of a bar and most of the regular food is terrible. and the pizza is now overshadowed by the detroit-​style pizza you can get down the street at Oliver’s. if you prefer a thinner, sweeter-​sauced pizza and you’re looking to try something local i would say to give it a whirl if you live in town or close enough, i would recommend olivers.

Can’t tell you about the food. It was 7:15 on a wednesday night We waited 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge our existence. I finally cornered a server and asked is this seat yourself she said sure and it was ok to sit in one of the booths in back. We then found a seat in the back and started to bus the table ourselves. Another server later informed me that he purposely did not bus this table because the table was reserved and chased us away. Do not go here unless you are looking for rude service.

Steis’s is the quintessential local bar in this area. The best thing on the menu is the pizza and breadsticks, beer is served out of mason jars, and there’s a DJ and sometimes karaōke on the weekends. Around dinner time this is a good family restaurant to bring the kids to, after about 10/10:30pm it turns into more of a dive bar atmosphere. Cheap alcohol, good pizza, and a DJ who will play almost anything you request makes for great Saturday nights in Lexington!

Ech… I have had better, a lot better.
This is more like a neighborhood bar with a menu that covers just about everything.
Small town feel, but hey, it is a small town.
Nothing to write home about.
