If you're in downtown Lexington, Sam's Hot Dog Stand is an absolute must-visit! 🌭

I opted for the Veggie Dog with everything, and it was delightful! The combo with a seasonal Ale8 and BBQ Famous Grippos was a perfect lunch. The service was fast and friendly, and I loved the casual atmosphere.

The place feels welcoming for everyone, with its LGBTQ+ friendly vibe and gender-neutral facilities. Plus, the outdoor seating is perfect for a sunny day. Can't wait to return on my next trip! 🌞
