Dudley's Restaurant opened its doors in August, 1981. The restaurant was formed by converting two of the original classrooms into a bar and dining room. In 1983, an outdoor patio was added which further enhanced the ambience and popularity of the restaurant. Patrons are surrounded by local artists' work in the dining room or by poplar trees as old as the building itself which flank the patio.

I have eaten at Dudleys many times. The service and food has always been excellent. The bar is cozy, the main dining room elegant but very comfortable. Highly recommend

I have been to Dudley's twice recently. The service is awful. The hostess was insulting, the waiter spilled balsamic on my date, the manager never came over to apologize to her, and the food was mediocre at best. I would not waste my time going to such a second rate restaurant.
Pros
+ location
Cons
- everything else

This is a wonderful restaurant for lunch or dinner especially in the warm months when dining outside on their patio is available. The menu features Lexington favorites and new dishes as well. The inside is a bit crowded because of the number of tables, but that is the only downside to this restaurant.
