Minton’s, a popular brunch spot in Lexington, KY, is moving to a new location in the National Avenue Dining District with a grand opening on Valentine’s Day. The new spot will feature three times the seating capacity, a fantastic patio, and an expanded menu that includes vegetarian and vegan options. The team will also retain their current staff, ensuring that regular patrons continue to receive the exceptional service they’ve come to love.
Calling all brunch fans in Lexington, KY! If you enjoy indulging in delicious meals served with a side of good company, then you’re going to love the latest update around town. Minton’s, known for its delightful brunch and lunch offerings, is making waves by relocating to a new spot in the National Avenue Dining District. And the best part? The grand opening is set to coincide with Valentine’s Day on February 14!
So, where is this new culinary gem going? Minton’s will find its new home at 701 National Ave., just off Winchester Road and Walton Avenue. It’s conveniently located across from Epping’s on Eastside, making it an easy stop for locals and visitors alike. The new space will boast a whopping three times the seating capacity compared to the current hotspot at 760 N. Limestone, which will continue to serve patrons until the end of January.
One of the standout features of the new location? A fabulous patio! The outdoor area will accommodate up to 30 seats downstairs and another 30 upstairs—perfect for those warm weather days when dining outside feels just right. With more visibility and easier access, Minton’s hopes this new site will attract both regular guests and new ones looking to explore Lexington’s vibrant food scene.
Chad Walker from Walker Properties shared enthusiasm about Minton’s addition to the town’s culinary landscape, emphasizing what a welcoming neighborhood it is. It’s clear that this move not only aims to enhance dining options in Lexington but also to foster a sense of community among the local foodies.
Now, let’s talk about the food! Minton’s menu features an array of brunch and lunch choices, with something for everyone—including those with vegetarian and vegan preferences. You can expect mouth-watering highlights like the famed Weisenberger Mill buttermilk biscuits slathered in savory sausage gravy. For something sweet and indulgent, the signature Elvis Pancakes (a heavenly stack of peanut butter pancakes topped with bananas foster sauce and candied cayenne bacon) are a must-try!
Another crowd-pleaser is the Little Brother, which features a delicious pan-fried smoked sausage on a hoagie bun accompanied by freshly made mac & cheese. And guess what? Minton plans to expand the menu even further to include appetizers and the return of popular desserts that regulars have been missing!
In addition to the mouth-watering menu items, Minton’s will work on obtaining a liquor license to be able to bring back alcohol sales at the new location. This means that guests will be able to enjoy brunch cocktails along with their meals—a combo that makes any dining experience extra special!
One reassuring note for fans of Minton’s is that all of the current staff will be retained at the new location. Not only does this keep the familiar faces around, but it also means continuing the exceptional service that patrons have come to know and love.
The new building has an interesting backstory. Previously, it was home to the El Cid Mexican restaurant before being evicted last year and had served as the Sportsman’s Liquor store dating back before 2015. With Minton’s innovative vision, it looks forward to revitalizing the space as a lively spot for dining.
Minton’s new hours will run from Tuesday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., closing on Mondays. Not to mention, come April, the team plans to unveil an open-air rooftop patio available for events and rentals—giving you even more reason to look forward to the warmer months!
