50 Best American Restaurants near Fern Creek

“The food was good, not great, but good. Service was really good. Waitress stopped by to apologize about taking extra long to get food due to two large groups, which was good communication on her parrot. Parking was not the best, but considering they are boxed in, the only option that could help would be to have workers park in nearby parking lots. Atmosphere was nice...nothing special to set them apart. Could offer a better variety of steak options since they all seem to be the same cut. Not a bad place to visit from time to time, but not at the top of our list. Just somewhere different to go occasionally.“

“☘️Always outstanding service and food. Shelby is excellent!“

“We can't wait to go back next month. If you want some of the best food most made in house, Then you need to go to this wonderful, Charming place. Your treated like family and the food is Heavenly sent. You won't regret it and neither will your taste buds. Don't forget to try one of their cookies or slice of cake. 5 stars all the way around.“

“Our server, Abby, was terrific. Our bartender, Mike, is best in class and makes perfect recommendations. The chef, Jeremy, makes the best shrimp and grits I've had. Everyone there is incredibly friendly. Jeremy talked with us after the kitchen closed and was really charming. If you live in or visit Louisville and don't eat here, you're missing something special.“

“We were greeted by friendly service,, and the food was delicious.“

“Highly recommend this iconic place! We celebrated our anniversary last night and had a wonderful time. Great food and service! I had the chicken and my husband had the pork chops both delicious. The drinks were made well and our dessert was the flourless chocolate blood orange cake. The evening was perfect!“

“We took our out of town guests yesterday. Our server Jessica was amazing! She really made our night! (If you are reading this Jessica, y’all/yins did a great job! Lol.) Everyone loved their cocktails. The pork chop was very tasty and perfectly cooked, loved the shrimp and grits… so flavorful! The salmon was also delicious! We had the cheese and hummus plate as a starter and I was not a fan. The hummus was gummy and had an odd flavor. The rest of our group didn’t mind it. I could have had the bruschetta as my meal… yum! For dessert we had the bread pudding and asked to have some bourbon to pour on top (so good!), the lava cake (wow) and the brûlée (coffee flavored and very nice). We were the last to leave and Jessica and the rest of the staff treated us if we had all the time in the world. We so appreciated that! Our experience was so special! Thank you!“

“Great service, management is top tier here and it shows in staff morale! Thank you for quality service and attention to detail! The food is quite tasty!“

I ordered the little 3 fish sandwich sliders and fries. The fish was OUTSTANDING!! This is the first time that I've actually eaten everything in an order since I started there 6 months ago. They regularly order from various restaurants up and down Frankfort Ave and for me, its always disappointing...but not this time. As we unpacked entree after entree everything looked and smelled WONDERFUL! This was the first time eating from DRAKE'S...but it won't be my last. I highly recommend the fish!!

“All I can say is wow. Been here twice in a week. The Shepherds Pie is insane good. The Scot egg, Mac & cheese, and beer cheese are all incredible. Great great food!!“

“Great pizza and friendly staff, thank you.“

And the Avocado BLT. Food was great, mimosas and Bloody Mary were great. Our waitress was so nice, attentive and so sweet! We will definitely return!!“

“It’s Father’s Day and we decided to go to the blind squirrel. It busy and we knew it may be a minute. Our food took a little longer than expected but nothing crazy. Some sweet man from the kitchen brought our food out and apologized for the wait and told us that the food was on him. Such a generous gesture. I would highly recommend eating here. The food was good and the service was excellent!“

“Small eating area but that doesn’t matter to me. The food is delicious! I had the fresh crab cakes, fresh Brussels sprouts…omg amazing. I didn’t have room to eat the fresh asparagus and I ordered a California cobb salad with jumbo shrimp and fresh lobster claw meat with avocado which I will have for lunch tomorrow. I placed my order online late last night when I read about the fresh crab and scheduled to pick it up at 4 today. He cooked it all right there in front of me, everything fresh and tasty. Highly recommend!!“

It's a burger with bacon, an egg, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo! And it's delicious. The server Tony was fantastic. I'll be back sooner than later.“

“Fun, clean, safe atmosphere! Great place to grab a bite with the kids and then a beer (or several) later on. TV set up is solid, great bar games (Pool, Golden Tee) and it has the #1 ranked burger in the city of louisville!“

“The food is wonderful, service is great, and always fun! Beer is always very cold!“

“great service, great prices, friendly“

“The table next to us, one of the women was extremely loud & cursing. Too bad I was out trying to have a nice lunch with my sister & Mom. Also, I was freezing as the fans were whirling away. I had to keep my jacket on the whole time. If I go back, I will definitely ask to be seated where there aren't any fans on (it's November) lol.“

“Yummy food as always! Wonderful staff!“

“I had not eaten here in over 20 years. Meatloaf: spectacular as always. Chocolate brownie torte: The best there ever was. Thank you very much Ditto's for still being amazing.“

“These guys work very hard to ensure quality. I recommend trying them.“

“She did wonderful with my dog’s nail trim!!! My dog doesn’t do well with anything grooming related and it’s hard to find someone who has the patience to work with her.“

“The wait to be seated was about 15 minutes. We arrived at 12:15 pm. The server was at our table almost immediately to take our drink and appetizer orders. When appetizer arrived we placed our order. Just as we finished our appetizer our food arrived. Food was freshly prepared and hot. Everything was delicious. Server checked on us several times and kept our drinks filled. The manager ( Stephanie)even stopped by and checked on us. The whole experience was wonderful.“

“Excellent service, warm and inviting atmosphere and SUPER DELICIOUS food! Will definitely be back!“

“Wha an amazing place! The drinks are amazing, the food is incredible, and the service is some of the best we’ve ever had. We will for sure be coming back each time we are in town. Highly recommended!!!“

“We have been to the restaurant several times. I have never tried their steaks so I decided I would this time. I ordered the Maui ribeye. The flavor was good but it was very tough. I ordered it medium and it was cooked properly but there was a lot of gristle which made it hard to eat. For the high price it was very disappointing. My husband ordered the hamburger which was excellent. We also ordered a side of broccoli cooked perfectly. The carrot cake was great as always.“

“Great Kentucky Hotbrown!!!!!!“

“Best place in town to watch any type of games on TV. Anywhere you sit you have a great view of the game. Beer is cold and many varieties on tap and in bottles, I have never been disappointed with my food choice and have tried almost everything on the menu. Friendly staff, fast, attentive service you won’t be disappointed, enjoy!“

“Was exceptional food. A wonderful place to eat. Atmosphere was wonderful! Servers were awesome.“

“I was going to give 6 stars if possible. Great, local place to unwind with friends and have some great food and well priced beverages. We held my wife's retirement party of here and Erik was beyond accommodating. The event went off without a hitch and 64 guests arrived with plenty of room to socialize and drink orders were all spot on. I honestly could not have asked for anything to have been done better. Only a few of our out of town guest were first time visitors, and they could not get over the vibe.“

“Culver's frozen custard at 11801 Interchange Dr in Louisville, KY, offered a delightful treat during my road trip. As a self-proclaimed frozen custard snob with a penchant for Planters chocolate in WNY, I was pleasantly surprised by Culver's hand-scooped version. While it lacked the familiar soft serve texture, the custard was undeniably rich and sweet with excellent flavor. However, Planters still reigns as my gold standard in the world of frozen custard. Nevertheless, Culver's provided a satisfying and enjoyable experience on my journey.“

“The owner was very active and engaged with tables, and clearly was very proud of their restaurant. And they have good reason to be, the service was solid, but the food was incredible. There was a perfect balance of flavors in nearly every bite, and I had the best pork chop experience of my life. WILL be back as soon as I can.“
