“Menu is small, but "bourbon and the bird" sandwich was delicious. Great sauce and great texture/breading for the seitan chicken. The owner was funny and personable too. Very casual, order at the counter place. Updated from previous review on 2025-01-03“

“Tried this for the first time today and loved it! Just when I felt there were no new interesting spots in downtown Louisville, a friend recommends InSeason. Yes! Wonderfully flavored and very friendly service by all. They moved fast and kept the place hopping. Very clean, too! Love the farm to table options. We will be back!“

“Great food and service every time. Only disappointment was they were out of one of my favorite menu items. But love everything I have ever gotten there“

“On-line seating request worked great. Until we were seated in the heated outside area. Heat was intense, table was so loose we would not be able to hold it and eat, and table was covered with some sticky substance. We would have asked to move but nobody came to the table. So we left. Sad because the food is good!“

“Our office had the best holiday get together at Molly Malone’s today. We reached out just a couple of weeks ago and asked if the kitchen could accommodate various dietary restrictions, and you guys totally came through for us. I had the best vegan shepherd’s pie of my life and can’t wait to come back for more. Thank you all so very much for making today go great for us. Everyone raved about the food. Thanks again, and we’ll be back soon!“

“Absolutely fabulous food. We loved the chicken salad, reuben sandwich and broccoli soup. Portions are very generous. Atmosphere is very unique and quaint. The reason for a line when you come in the door is the owners personal touch while taking your order. Don't let a line scare you away because food is prepared fresh for each order.

If I could give six stars I would.“

“Food and service were great! We had the ribeye and the chicken fried chicken, both seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Sides were just as good. We will definitely return!“

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!!

“Very very friendly staff & excellent food! Would highly recommend it to others!“

“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 pizza and friendly staff, thank you.“

“our server Brandon was excellent. Very attentive and friendly. food was great and service was fast.“

“My family and I went for Thanksgiving. The meal, from salad to dessert, was exquisite—amazing. The staff was friendly, kind, patient, and downright nice to share our holiday with. The staff helped bring the eclectic environment to life. The whole family enjoyed the evening wholeheartedly.“

“Consistently great food, drinks and service. Definitely a top 5 in Louisville.“

“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!“

“We got married on the CQ Princess 8 years ago, so we celebrated our anniversary with dinner there. The food, service, and atmosphere were great and the yacht was as beautiful as I remember �“

“Never had anything that I didn’t love!“

“Great food, even better owners and staff. Our favorite spot in the city hands down. Nothing more to say besides 10/10 across the board!“

“A great wholesome friends and family diner“

“I stopped over before my flight back home and what a fantastic place. I ordered the pretzels and beer cheese appetizer which was fantastic.

They’ve got seating looking out over the airport which is a fun place to people watch and pass the time.

The real star of the show was the service. Mackenzie was so incredibly kind, polite and attentive to anything I needed. Mackenzie really set this place apart from any other airport restaurant I’ve visited. Good food, good atmosphere and world class service!

Make sure not to miss this gem in the airport!“

“Great service. Food was amazing!“

“Delicious! First time here since they opened in Louisville years ago. Ordered the northern cod meal. The next week I ordered the cod sandwich with premium chili - oh my! Tasty! Plus, the cookies and cream dessert made the rating more than five stars! Absolutely Dynamite!
I Will be back!“

“This place is awesome and I hope they consider coming to Fort Wayne, Indiana!!💜💜“

“We went there for the first time. The wait at 1 pm was only about 10 minutes for 5 people. The crab Benedict was sooooooo good! Delicious! Also had the Mushroom Omelet , it was delicious. 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!!“

“We went here Saturday night visiting from Nashville. Seemed like the best views. We sat at the bar and Sam served us. He was fantastic. The crab tartar was ok. Didn’t have alot of flavor but was still good. I can’t wait to drive back up and eat on the rotation dining area. Ps. Tell Sam the girl who wanted the SNACKS says hi. 🤣“

“Excellent service and the food and ambiance was great“

“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!“

“Tyler and his staff are the best! He makes the best handmade chicken salad and oh those yummy homemade chips “amazing”!!! Everything I’ve had at Kayrouz has been wonderful! Served in a nice friendly atmosphere! Love it here so accommodating! And they cater too. He has catered several events for our family and friends and I always get rave reviews about his food!“

“Fast service. Food was amazing!! Try it!!“

“Been here a few times before. Always been excellent. Decided to take a ride three city’s away just to grab a burger from here. Walked in sat at the bar. May have been one or two other people at the bar. Sat for 6 minutes before getting up and leaving. Had someone acknowledged I was there I’d waited 30 more minutes no problem. Oh well big DQ franchise got my money now instead of locally.“

“We had heard of The House of Marigold from one of my daughter’s friends and it did not disappoint at all. We had the most amazing server named Ashley who walked us through the whole menu so we knew what we wanted. Please if you are in Louisville then stop in and try this awesome restaurant.“

“We really like coming here and will continue however I have noticed that the tables are not wipe down from employees regularly just watch everyone’s reaction when it’s sticky on there tables i seriously got a large amount of a sticky arm I did not see it there and asked if they could wet a napkin for me the water fountain is turned off the manager had a short get together with the girls shaking his head no , they offered a cup of water, thank you I love my wife she wiped the other tables also I’m sure this was a health risk to ask for a wet towel and I apologized“

“So we came out to Bud’s Tavern JTown last night with our children(9 and 13) and about 10 other people all the way from Bloomfield, Ky to sing some Karaoke. The KJ(Mike Boughey) informed my wife that he wouldn’t let kids sing. Finally my daughter was allowed to sing. I just thought it was very unprofessional that the KJ was picking and choosing who was allowed to sing. We have traveled to all kinds of venues for karaoke, and this was the first time this has ever happened. Karaoke isn’t about have just top notch singers! It’s about having a good time, and it shouldn’t matter if you’re a great singer or not! The food was great! But as I stated the KJ was unprofessional!“

“We had an excellent experience at drakes. our server was excellent. Olivia was sweet and helpful and just over all a very good server. she is an asset to the restaurant. we had the chicken sandwich, the fish tacos and the Buffalo mac and cheese. it was served quickly and was very good. we finished it off with a cookie and ice cream. it was all so good. such a good meal, we will absolutely be back. highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Def a cute coffee shop. If your not a Harry Potter fan you might not understand some of the posters and decor but it's definitely an original and a gem. I can't wait to see the expansion and the years of growth.

Update: after talking more with the staff apparently the Harry Potter theme is seasonal! So I'm excited to see what theme spring will be 😁

Update: Aug 6th 2025
Still love coming here. The vibe is nice, so many different people come here and I always leave smiling. I enjoyed the $1 tarot card prediction and sometimes they sell stickers at the register and im a sticker junkie for my water cups. Still love it 🖤💜
Red veil and Stevie Nick's are my go to drinks

“Nice little hidden gem. Drove past this place plenty of times and then my wife suggested that we stop and try their ice cream. Now I try to get by there once a week or so. Good food and the price is reasonable. Give it a try I'm sure you'll like it!“

“I do NOT recommend this place. We went with a party of 15 this afternoon and had a truly disappointing, awful experience. We arrived shortly after they opened. We were the only ones on the outside patio the entire visit (just shy of 3 hours) and the inside dining room never got very busy, but you'd never guess by how terrible the service was. It took nearly 2 hours for (most of) our food to come out, and even then, several orders were wrong. Our drinks were rarely filled. Our waitress and other staff may have been stretched too thin, but did the manager ever come out to speak with us or try to make things right even once? nope! The food and beer prices are high and not worth the price. (Food arrived cool and tasted ok... not worth the prices.) No apologies were offered before we left after paying our expensive tabs. We will not be back. Don't waste your time! They clearly don't care about getting return customers.“
