Exciting New Eateries Set to Spice Up Lexington’s Dining Scene!
Lexington is gearing up for a tasty transformation! Two exciting restaurant openings are on the horizon that promise to add more flavor to our already vibrant town. Get ready to welcome a brand-new Wingstop and a modern steakhouse, both set to delight your taste buds!
Wingstop Wings its Way to Town Square
First up, Wingstop is all set to crack open its doors at 736 W. Main St. This popular chain will be located in the Town Square shopping center, right next to where your weekly groceries might come from at Food Lion. Talk about convenience!
The development plans for Wingstop are currently under construction. In the town’s planning and zoning actions last August, officials disclosed the details, generating buzz among local food lovers. Mayor Hazel Livingston even included the new eatery in her September newsletter, giving it a nice shout-out!
If you’re familiar with Wingstop’s reputation, you know they specialize in a mouth-watering variety of chicken offerings. From delicious wings and boneless wings to tenders and tasty sandwiches, there’s something for everyone. And let’s not forget about their famous sauce flavors! Ever tried lemon pepper, mango habanero, or hickory smoked barbecue? If not, you’re in for a treat!
Lexington residents won’t have to travel far, as there are already nearly 2,000 Wingstop locations nationwide, with some nearby in West Columbia and Irmo. Plus, with over 47,000 cars whizzing by daily on that stretch of W. Main Street, Wingstop is sure to attract plenty of hungry patrons looking for their next favorite meal.
A Modern Steakhouse to Complement the Feast
Leading the charge on this new venture is a talented trio of restaurateurs from the Midlands: Steve Cook, Joe Walker, and Ryan Jones. Cook, known for his ownership of several local favorites including Saluda’s and Al Bucato Pizza, is bringing his expertise to this upscale yet approachable dining experience.
On the other hand, Walker has quite the background, being a U.S. Army combat veteran who operates several locations of Marco’s Pizza and Scooter’s Coffee. Meanwhile, Jones has a wealth of experience as the former general manager of Columbia’s Hall’s Chophouse. Now that’s a culinary dream team!
This steakhouse aims to be a spot that’s both classy and welcoming, focusing on providing a memorable customer experience. Patrons can look forward to indulging in hand-cut steaks, homemade pasta, fresh seafood, and a selection of seasonal dishes crafted to perfection.
As for the ambiance, interior renovations will be carefully executed to preserve the historic charm of the building. Boyer Construction and designer Ashley Scott St. John are overseeing the project, ensuring that everything is just right. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates, including the name and delicious menu offerings as renovations progress!
Game Day Highlights and Local Favorites
Other local favorites in Town Square include RF’s Corner Grill, Musician Supply, and Lizard’s Thicket. When planning your game day outings, be sure to call ahead to confirm details and make reservations so you won’t miss out on any of the action!
Get ready, Lexington! With these mouth-watering additions coming soon, our dining scene is about to get even more delicious!
