Nic & Norman’s, co-owned by Norman Reedus and Greg Nicotero, creators of AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” has become a favorite among food enthusiasts in Kentucky. With its first location opened in 2016 in Senoia, Georgia, followed by another in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the Lexington branch opened its doors at 135 W Main St. Notably, the duo has plans to expand with another restaurant in Louisville.
As you enter Nic & Norman’s Lexington, the atmosphere of a cozy pub with brick walls, framed photos, and stills of the celebrity proprietors greets you. The menu offers classic pub fare but with a touch of refinement, featuring items such as smashburgers, BBQ pork sliders, brisket flatbreads, fried chicken pot pie, and mac ‘n cheese. The starters and sides are equally impressive, with options like pickle fries, brisket nachos, crispy Brussels sprouts, and sticky rib tips.
For dessert, Nic & Norman’s Lexington does not disappoint, with a range of delicious options, including the must-try peach cobbler, served in a mini mason jar. Whether dining alone or with a group, sharing plates or going solo, Nic & Norman’s creates an unforgettable dining experience. So, if you find yourself in Kentucky and craving a delectable meal, this restaurant is a must-visit.
