This place is great. I am reading other reviews and people are saying that is expensive to eat her. Coming from a New Yorker, I think is inexpensive for the beauty of the place and the food you get. We ordered a cheese board ($22), fried pickles ($10) from appetizers and a Greek salad (large for $12). Everything was delicious. The cheese board has 5-6 high quality cheeses, jam, honey and pickles. There was also grapes, blueberries and a strawberry. I never had fried pickles before and I will definitely eat them again. Greek salad was great with feta, olives, tomatoes and a tasty lemon orange vinaigrette. We also had a glass of muscadine sweet red and rose. The wine was sweet and easy to drink. We also had banana pudding and autumn orchard dessert. Both delicious. If we are ever back to this part of the country, we will be back here.

For the past four years we have been bringing our Daughter here for her birthday during Christmas PER her request. The first year the food was wonderful, second year was pretty good, third year terrible now this year Dec 2025 terrible!!!! There is only three entrées, nothing for someone who doesn’t eat meat. I can promise you they don’t care to fix vegetarian meals without meat. They have no pasta dishes, no butternut squash gnocchi, like they had the first year, which was wonderful!! The flatbread was mainly just bread and loaded with goat cheese and arugula nothing else!!!! Three people in our party had tuna tacos and they said there was barely any tuna and it was terrible! We had to wait for over an hour for our food. For what the prices are you expect more too. Again if it weren’t for our Daughter requesting to come here for her birthday we would not be coming here. Very sad! Bistro at Childress please do better!!!! I’ve asked you guys this for at least three years now by my reviews, emails and even calling to complain and nothing yet!!!!!!

Used to be wonderful before they moved into their new building. My advice is if you're looking for an overpriced, snack size plate where you'll have to wait an hour for your food, this is your place. You'll only get a 2×2 cut of Salmon should you order the $20 petite salmon. My other half was literally sitting on the plate next to me who ordered the same thing. Say what??? Mediocre service at best, limited mimosa options and you'll get charged a whopping $3 for a mini muffin should you want some bread while you wait. Oh, reservations are required with a $15 deposit. Are you even kidding me??? So many better options out there...don't drive to Lexington for this. There - I've warned ya!
