50 Best American Restaurants near Floyds Knobs

“A great little spot in the middle of a subdivision. Not many people on a Wednesday afternoon, but the bar tenders were very friendly and the beer was cheap. Plus they have decent burgers for a bargain price. Plenty of seating, and great views.“

“Amazing seafood, appetizers and desserts (bread pudding is phenomenal)! A must is having Samantha at Sam’s Food & Spirits as our server. Hands down the best food and service anywhere around! We are so glad we stumbled on this place. The manager Sam came and met us personally as well. The entire experience is worth the drive!“

“It's one thing for a buisness to be courteous to paying customers. It's another when they treat the vendors (me) with that same care. I inspect3d their fire alarm system and David and Floyd were grounded and kind people. Personal and open about themselves, leaving me with a lasting impression.

I'll be coming back for sure.
Thanks guys,

“This place is such a gem to be at the airport. They have great selection for bourbons and delicious food. My service was very pleasant with Quita. She was very attentive and provided very professional service. I am glad to have found this little gem on my way home 🥰

If you are a fries lover like me, you have to order one. It is soooooo good ❤️“

“Salma was amazing! 🤩 5 stars! Chips and salsa were legit!“

“It's rare that we have a date night on a weekday with two young children, but tonight was the exception. When I realized our anniversary was falling on a Wednesday, Perso was the first place that came to mind. Perso's Prix Fixe Menú is available every Sunday through Wednesday and offers a three course meal for $29. It's no secret that I'm a fine dining enthusiast; but who doesn't love a bargain? If you're looking for a nice night out without breaking the bank, this is your spot. Perso sits at the corner of Oak and Shelby in the same location as the former Square Cut Pizza. The giant windows in the front provide an abundance of natural light. The interior has a modern industrial vibe with painted exposed brick, plants, and Edison bulbs hanging on pendants. One wall with wooden slats gives a Scandinavian feel to the main dining area. It's a small-ish intimate space with a beautiful patio. For my first course, I chose Crostino Di Tonno- olive oil poached tuna, stracciatella, pickled celery, and Calabrian chili. I followed my first course with olive oil poached swordfish, corn chowder, and golden zucchini scapece. For dessert, I had the chef's choice: apple strudel with whipped cream cheese. My husband chose heirloom tomato with roasted eggplant, bagna couda, and fine herbs. For his main course, he had pork tenderloin with edamame, beef dashi, and fine herbs. We both opted for the chef's choice for dessert. I tasted each of his courses and they were every bit as delicious as my own. The edamame provided the perfect texture and his tenderloin dashi tasted gravy-esque without being overly heavy. Mostly notable, besides the insane deal for such decadence, was the fresh flavor combinations throughout. Our table had fresh rosemary as a centerpiece. The corn chowder was right up my alley. I could've licked my bowl if I wasn't trying to pretend to have a bit of class. The swordfish was tender, juicy, and not overly fishy. The tuna flatbread was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The mint on top of my whipped cream cheese truly set it apart. My lavender Manhattan was earthy and smoky, not just in flavor. It was literally smoking. My husband had an old-fashioned. Neither of us were disappointed. Our server, Amanda, was phenomenal. She offered recommendations. She visited our table to ensure we were satisfied the perfect number of times. Her warm demeanor was professional while also being personable. She was everything we hope for in a server. Perso's Sunday through Wednesday Prix Fixe Menú is hands-down one of the best opportunities for an affordable night out. That being said, once you get a taste of what they have to offer, you'll be sold on splurging any day of the week.“

“amazing food and drinks. loved the lobster Mac taco!“

“Very good idk“

“We visited Louisville for a long weekend and stopped in for dinner on a Friday evening. The place was packed. Kait was our server. We started with the beet w/mixed berries and the cast iron rosemary foccaia--so good! The bread came with a berry custard/cheese butter mix spread--ridiculous! For dinner we ordered the half chicken and the risotto w/rock shrimp. Both were outstanding!! Katie did a great job and the staff really worked well together.
(Just FYI...they make their pasta in-house). Highly recommend!!“

“really good place to service is on point and the food is delicious.“

“Amazing food and atmosphere. The beer selection is always on point!“

“Amazing food with spectacular views!“

“We used The Copper Room at Orange Clover for a baby shower for a first time momma to be. I just cannot find the words for how wonderful the experience was. First off, the staff, absolutely phenomenal. Every single person I talked to (I’m sorry I don’t remember names, my memory is lacking currently) was so sweet and helpful. I appreciate every single one of you. Second, the food was perfect and delicious. Third, the room itself was everything I hoped it would be and more. The team working helped us make everything absolutely perfect. I cannot imagine a better place to have an event-from the staff, the food, to the location and the service. Beyond grateful for you all! Thank you so so much! ☺️“

“Awesome stop for a custom whiskey flight. I hit the jackpot with expert bartender CC, who took my request for a custom whiskey flight as a challenge and knocked it out of the park with three choices setup in the perfect order. She knew the story behind each one and quickly looked up some additional details on her phone when she wasn't sure. The bar is clean and spacious and full of light. Whiskies are arranged by family for easy identification. She described a "Black Manhattan" that sounded delicious, but I'll have to try that next time. Proof on Main makes the perfect place to treat your taste buds while waiting for a distillery tour. Slainte!“

“Our food was good but we took some home and my turkey and dressing dinner didn’t have any dressing. 😂“

“My wife and I took in the tour with tastings and chocolate today. CJ was our tour guide and was fantastic! We received a great education about Brandy and C&K’s process. Their facility is beautiful and the staff was super friendly. I highly recommend the tour which is a great way to compare and contrast Brandy with all the bourbon distilleries in the region. Can’t thank them enough for a memorable experience on our trip to Louisville.“

“great appeal, friendly service! food was okay but didn't like the tomato jelly on the burger. Will def omit that next time or try something new! overall, a good experience!“

“This place is a diamond in the rough kinda place tucked away!! Really delicious and drinks! Staff wonderful knowledgeable about what they have and super friendly!!! Definitely will go back!!!“

“We visit often happy hour is a must! Margaritas the best! Happy hour is great $6 margaritas Brunch is great! Dinner is fabulous every single time Thank you naive family!“

“Not only was the food creative and delicious, the restaurant offers a true dining experience with great attention to detail. Extra credit for the fact that they did not rush me at all even though I was dining solo but instead took the time to make me feel as welcome and special as any other diner. A truly memorable dining experience. Worth every penny and then some.“

“Always delicious and very clean restaurant with stellar service. Delicious sandwiches and breakfast.“

“Love the food, every dish we have had was excellent and the coffee..the best!!“

“Stopped in to this place before a concert - it was fantastic! I can’t stop thinking about the Mozzarella sticks!! The burger and sweet potato fries were delicious as well. Highly recommend!“

“The owner and his staff are very friendly. The restaurant is really clean on the inside. The first time I ordered, I got a rib tip dinner with greens and Mac and cheese. The second time, I only ordered rib tips and one of the staff asked me did I want sides. I told them no because I had sides at home. I let them know that the Mac and cheese was not so great and the owner came out and apologized for that and gave me a free slice of cake to make up. I thought that was really nice of him. He told me that he appreciated my feedback. I still visit every weekend and I get rib tips, greens and potato salad now and a slice of cake but I gotta get it early before it sells out.“

“Really nice bar with a great atmosphere.“

“you want home cooking this is the place! food is always hot and delicious 😋“

“Great ice cream and service!! Much better tasting food than that place in Borden that pretends to be an ice cream shop !!“

“Went Wednesday and Thursday while staying at The Galt House Hotel but had terrible experience today, Friday, terrible service and nachos so salty we couldn’t eat. Server and manager didn’t seem to care.“

“Amiyah was a wonderful server and our food was good. Thank you so much“

“Highly Recommended. The food, drinks and atmosphere were amazing. Can’t wait to go again“

“The best fast food restaurant in all of Louisville!! 💯“

“They are a convenience store, they also sell chicken meal. At least there's not a lot of people hanging around it front or in the facility. It's a am Indian family owned business, they have vapes, cigarettes, lottery, chicken, and convenient snack food... Nothing healthy though fyi“

“Before I played trivia on Wednesday nights I couldn't read, and I only had a rudimentary understanding of Calculus. After 6 short years, I have expanded my vocabulary by 57 words, I can also tip without using a tip calculator! This glorious restaurant offers outstanding food to go with one helluva bar! The best staff in the city in the best atmosphere in the city, VIVA LA BARD'STOWN!!“

“Wild Eggs has a story that fits the personality of the place: bright, welcoming, and proudly rooted in Kentucky. The chain began in Louisville in 2007, created by founders who wanted a breakfast-and-brunch spot that blended creativity with comfort. Over the years it has grown throughout Kentucky, Indiana, and neighboring states, building a reputation for generous portions, inventive twists on classics, and a menu that ranges from hearty skillets and omelets to fresh-baked breads, pancakes, waffles, and their well‑known “Eggs-traordinary” Benedict variations.

My wife and I enjoyed a delicious breakfast during our visit. It was a busy morning, so joining the wait list before we left our hotel turned out to be a smart move. By the time we arrived, the place was buzzing, but we were seated quickly and settled in for a great meal.

The service was outstanding. Darren was kind, patient, and attentive throughout our visit. He checked in at just the right moments and made sure we had everything we needed. Offering a coffee to go at the end was a thoughtful touch that left a lasting impression.

I ordered a classic Belgian waffle with a side of crispy bacon, both prepared exactly the way they should be. My wife devoured her omelet, which was packed with flavor and cooked perfectly.

Parking wasn’t the easiest, but we were fortunate to find a free street spot practically in front of the entrance since it was Sunday.

Wild Eggs continues to deliver on its reputation for warm service, memorable breakfasts, and a menu that honors its Louisville roots while offering something for everyone. A wonderful start to the day.“

“Moved to the area a little over a year ago and always wanted to try First Watch but with their hours and our schedule never aligning we never got to go until today. We ordered the million dollar breakfast sandwich and the choose two with the turkey avocado sandwich and the chicken chopped salad. We also got the dragon fruit drink, the honey cruch iced coffee, and the salted caramel doughnuts. Drinks were very good. Food was good except my order was wrong they gave me the Cobb salad and when I told our waitress the issue and the mistake and all she said was that she could bring me some chicken for the salad. I declined because we were already done eating and I didnt see the point of the chicken when they were two completely different Salads and toppings. I don't like blue cheese which was all over my salad so I picked around it and ate what I could and my half sandwich. Other than that the experience was good. Just disappointed and not the happiest with the resolution.“

“My boyfriend and I stayed, we had an issue in the beginning with our room accidentally being double booked but don’t be discouraged by this comment! Because this staff went above and beyond to fix the issue which we weren’t upset by any means. But I highly would recommend the stay! The staff was excellent, apologetic, and entertaining. Deserves raises to be honest. We 1000 are returning next year. Thank yall for such a generous and enjoyable experience!“

“We had a great experience! The buffalo chicken egg rolls are a must get!“

“My husband Steve and I ate there today, to celebrate our 33yr Anniversary of the day we met...We had the Monday Daily Meal Special, Lobster and Shrimp Scampi. It Was DELICIOUS!!! Our Waitress was very nice and helpful in getting our gift cards...and we even met a very nice staff member, Stacy, on our way out!!! Was A Wonderful Day!!! Best Life Ever!!!“

“Ate here on Saturday evening. Food was delish! I had the breakfast sandwich with those fabulous fries and my daughter had the chili dog and fries. I could make a meal with just those fries. That Magic Dust sure makes the delicious!“

“Always delicious food. Service is top notch.
Usually it's pretty quiet, but today there was a screaming toddler. The father finally took the child outside to calm down. The kid was just really tired and needed a nap 🤷“
