Restaurants in Louisville

“We absolutely loved our visit to Ash & Elm before a Fort Wayne Fever game. We came into town from Fort Wayne. I had googled gluten and dairy free friendly restaurants and discovered Ash & Elm. The place far exceeded our expectations. The environment is very cool- old warehouse vibes with cute decor. We especially appreciated the pride flags and messages of kindness throughout. Our server was awesome. All 4 of us ordered cider flights and told her to choose for us- she did a great job. We loved every selection. The Devour Indy menu was also available and 2 in our party took advantage of it. It was a great value.”

“Wow. The food here is nothing short of amazing. Had a Cuban braised pork dish with black beans and plantains and it was delicious. Mojitos are made there and look as good as they taste.

Highly recommended.”

“Amazing food and service! If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food, The Charcoal Restaurant is a must try!”

“This place is awesome!! The food is great the vibe is also but the people are even better!! My server Jolene was just perfect very attentive and on top of it!! Will for sure be coming back!!”

“Mannnnn. This place is EXCELLENT. My second time here was just as amazing as the first. Eve was our server and she was fantastic. We had a group of seven and a lot of us split our entrees so we could try everything. There was literally nothing we didn’t love. We live three hours away and I would drive here just to eat dinner. Kudos to you guys and thank you to eve for the fantastic service! If you have an opportunity to sit outside on the outdoor enclosure do so! It’s a tropical paradise in Kentucky!”

“10 outta 10 would recommend!! What a great restaurant with amazing food!! Family friendly and the owner and his family were so nice! While we waited for our food to be made, we got to put our names on the wall and got to enter act with their son, who was so cute!!”

“It's almost the end of 2024 and I've been having Clean Eatz this entire year. I'd say 90% of everything I've eaten this year has been CE. To say it's been a huge game changer for me is an understatement. I had a stubborn 10lb that wouldn't go away from the Covid years. That was gone in the first couple months. I was also able to set PRs in all distances-5k, 10k, 15k, half marathon and marathon. Having healthy food from Ce definitely played a huge part in that. Prior to this year I'd never ran more than 1200 miles in a year and I'm coming up on 1800 for the year! Also I haven't been sick this entire year where I'm normally sick at least one or two times. It all starts with your diet and I'm so incredibly blessed that I discovered CE.”

“One of the finest meals I've ever had in my 40 years on this earth. My date and I had a fantastic evening due in large part to our server Patrick, who was PHENOMENAL. He was top notch in all respects. His assistant, Moreblessing, was equally awesome. They were truly incredible the entire time. The food was amazing, the service was even better. This type of dining experience seems to be going by the wayside these days so it was very refreshing to have such amazing service. If I'm the owner/GM I'm giving Patrick and Moreblessing a very large raise. I can't imagine their other customers would write a review any different than my own. They are that good. We will definitely be coming back!”

“I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I had chicken tandoori with rice and the flavor was amazing. It was a touch spicy but the gentleman warned me before I ordered.
The only negative is they do not have ice and I love ice in my beverage.”

“We always enjoy our experiences at Volare’. Fresh seafood dishes flown in each Friday for another one of their exquisite seafood entree’s. Large portions are in order and our favorites are the steak with bourbon glaze and salmon with a hot pepper sauce. Don’t forget to order their decadent desserts, even if you take it to go. Caring staff that make certain that your visit is flawless.”

“Gigantic slices that are delicious! If I lived in Tullahoma I would eat here everyday.”

“Let’s start with atmosphere. It was well kept with nice decor but I wouldn’t consider it fancy. We ordered the lebnah, liver mousse, and tuna tar tar. The mousse was the clear favorite out of the 3 amongst us. The tar tar was a bit over seasoned with chili or cumin. For the main, we got chicken shawarma and lamb meguez. They were quality and well cooked, but lacking that pop for the price. Overall, I would recommend this place to friends and family for its variety and ethnic background. However, it is a bit pricey.”

“Had an amazing experience at The Mayan Cafe! Their food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I also really appreciated how accommodating they were with allergies. The staff was knowledgeable and made sure everything was safe for me. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back.”

“My server Amanda on a scale 1-10 she was a 10! I was satisfied with her appearance an he approach she's great she handles everything wonderful! Customer satisfaction!”

“Great food. Great atmosphere. Loved it”

“Been to this restaurant several times and the service and the food is always top notch! Nice atmosphere where you have soft music in the background and you’re able to have conversations without having to raise your voice.”

“Definitely a 10/10 experience!”

“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.”

“This place is a 10/10! The atmosphere and staff were AMAZING!! We came to Louisville for the day to find my wedding dress. After I said yes to the dress we decided to try Mussel and Burger Bar! They made my day 1000x extra special, took care of my food and drinks, and even gave me a platter of desserts to try! We are coming back to Louisville for my bachelorette and we will definitely be visiting this place again! The seafood burger was also delicious!”

“My friend and I went to Jeff Ruby‘s in 2024, and we were very impressed. The food and service was phenomenal! We will definitely go back there again.”

“We had a fantastic dinner here. Food was great tasting, service was fast but not rushed. We enjoyed this place very much and will be back when we return to Louisville.”

“Just had a wonderful experience, the staff was awesome at explaining everything to us as newbies. Took my husband axe throwing for Father’s Day and we had a blast! The atmosphere was lowkey and unassuming, and the other players were awesome at rooting everyone on despite us all being strangers. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose you’ll be guaranteed to have fun no matter what. The whole setup is so innovative but also very user friendly. We will definitely be back!”

“Great intimate vibe. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted with waters and menus. The housemade chex mix was a great touch. The bartender was very kind and attentive and talked through the cocktails with us until we found a drink that seemed perfect. Each cocktail we perfectly executed and so tasty! Went with a group of friends and would definitely recommend a reservation for a larger party to make sure you are all seated together. Can't wait to go back for a date night.”

“We went for brunch! It was heavenly. The espresso martini didn’t depresso. Excellent! My Hubby had a dish with their red sauce & I cannot wait to return for dinner for THAT sauce.”

“I have tried Indian food a couple times before (years ago), and did not like it. My husband loves Indian food, so we tried this restaurant for dinner. I cleaned my plate! Shrimp Tandoori was delicious, Naan, Tandoori Rito, Lamb Saag, Basmati Rice, Samosas, even the Chutney was wonderful, and let’s not forget Mango Lassi. The staff is also very friendly and attentive; we cannot wait to come back.”

“A few years ago I was in Savannah, GA and everyone was raving about Mrs. Wilkes Fried Chicken. I tried it and I considered it the best fried chicken that I’ve ever had. That was until a couple weeks ago when I went to ata restaurant Louisville for the first time, I was told the Fried Chicken was delicious and I needed to try it. IMO, the Fried Chicken here is hands down the absolute BEST that I’ve ever had!! It was so good that I ordered two more Fried Chicken dinners to go to take home 4.5hrs away the next day. It is a must stop every time that I’m in town. If you haven’t been here yet, I highly suggest that you try it soon. Thank you, Chef David!!”

“Everything was amazing, the food tasted so fresh and the bourbon cocktails was the best I’ve ever had. Our server Jack was incredible and definitely deserves a raise!”

“loved the Caesar salad!! Marg. Pizza was also great.”

“So much easier on our emotions than visiting a shelter, so you can interact with the fur babies and relax until you reach a decision. Great coffee from Quill's Coffee and yummy snacks! Amazing volunteers who help to make the entire experience very relaxed and chill.”

“Leland did such a wonderful job today! Definitely will come back!”

“Went there late one night and Candace was there all alone. At first we were the only one there and then a mob of people came in but Candace helped them all and was super sweet to everyone. She rocks and we will definitely be coming back to see her again!”

“Delicious food that is affordable. The wait staff is attentive and the cooks were prompt. Our food was hot and fresh!”

“Chrispy fried chicken that's moist and juicy. Love this spot. Chicken always hot and ready. Its so good you wont need sauce. Highly recommend this place. The biscuit is very moist as well. They have chicken gizzards as well.”

“Dear Jeff's Donuts. I regret to inform you, I can only give you five stars, just know you deserve every single star in the sky. I hope this letter finds you well. The day is Friday. January the 10th, year 2025. Today, Brooklyn and I decided to get donuts for us and the kids, as she wanted to start preparing the chili early. Dunkin’ Donuts was closed, and the order promptly canceled. We debated on making homemade donuts for a short time, before deciding to venture out and try something different. There you were. Shining like a lighthouse in a dark, foggy sea of plain looking donuts. It’s beacon of light piercing through the veil of confusion and blandness. The chaos of ordinary cookie cutter style donuts, never stood no chance, really. Upon inspecting the diverse list of offerings, something caught my eye. The Cherry Dream Long John. I must admit, I was hesitant at first. Cherry is something many do wrong. Alas, I could not resist my own curiosity. The craving for proper cherry took over and consumed my ability to control my impulse. I added everyone’s order, and sent forth the courier of deliciousness promptly to your location. I had to have it, and I had to have it now. A short time later, the courier arrived, carry what was quite possibly the biggest donut box I’d ever seen. It was then, at that very moment, I knew deep inside of me that these truly were going to be no ordinary donuts. I quickly flayed the tree pulp and adhesive bondage from the chest of donuts, with the utmost anticipation. Not knowing truly what to expect, but having the highest of hopes. I opened it with the utmost care. At first glimpse, I was overwhelmed. I immediately closed the box in disbelief and looked at Brooklyn. She understood from my expression, that this indeed, was no ordinary box of donuts from no ordinary donut shop. It took a second, but after the shock and excitement faded, I re-opened the chest of delight, and we handed them out. The kids got chocolate frosted sprinkle donuts, which were absolute behemoths. You could tell, they were iced in all of their glory and size, with care and intent. Brooklyn withdrew her blueberry donut. She was pleased. Then it was left to me. I picked up my Cherry Dream donut, and stared at it for a minute. Marveled by its creamy, fresh and delicious appeal. Almost entranced by the faint smell of cherry and freshly cooked dough. I tried my first bite, and immediately knew not many would follow, as I couldn’t contain myself. It was perfect. From the creamy, fresh soft icing, that was a perfectly balanced flavor profile of cherry. Not the overwhelming fake cherry that becomes too much to bear after the first few bites. The sweet, delicate taste of cherry done right. Just enough to leave you craving more. It was that profile, mixed with a soft, fresh, airy dough that had such perfectly placed and crafted air pockets inside that it couldn’t possibly have any other explanation than god himself, wanted them to be there. Alas, I had acquired the perfect cherry donut. Jeff, from my heart to yours. To you, and your crew of artesian donut crafters as well, I’d like to say thank you. Thank you for this experience that has filled me with so much joy. Thank you for these children, being able to experience what a TRUE donut, really is, in all of its glory. I could not recommend Jeff’s donuts enough. I must abruptly end this, and I am sorry. There is now a strawberry donut calling my name. I cannot refuse its calling. I cannot ignore its voice, like a siren in the sea. I cannot ignore its succulent temptation. I must indulge.”

“Great food and good service”

“Restaurant is clean and the staff are very friendly I would recommend 2nd shift for a less busier lunch or dinner though the new cooks they have are very very good and make the food very aesthetically pleasing 10/10 would highly recommend this location”

Dietary restrictions: Lots of meatless options.”

“So welcoming, clean and super yummy food!”

“Limited menu, but great food!”

“The Taylorsville Rd location is one of the cleanest and friendliest Waffle Houses I’ve been to. Had very excellent service from Malcolm at a recent visit, and a nice chat with Brandon and Malcolm during our visit. Both were very friendly and explained the extended menu options. Malcolm made sure our order was made perfectly and he made sure our beverages were filled. Thank you for the excellent customer service!”

“The employees here on 2nd and 3rd shift are so nice. Sorry 1st shift we have not met you yet. Food is always exactly what we ordered with no issues. Will be back!”

“I go here all the time and tonight was the best customer service I've had from Aaliyah and the 2 cooks the other waitress decided that she wanted to sit and watch her crew work.. Anytime now that the 2 cooks or Aaliyah isn't there I won't go.. Great job u 3”

“Chicken fajitas were very good! great premium Margarita and prompt, excellent service!”

“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!

“we went for breakfast yesterday, great food, service, clean and stylish!!!!!”

“this was our first time there we surprised my oldest son who turned 13 today (4-17) the servers were very nice and food was amazing”

“I pick up some of their cookies when I’m in the area. The cookies and cream and chocolate chip ones are delicious. Always fresh! The employee was not very friendly. He didn’t seem thrilled to be there. Maybe he was having a bad day. I will be back for the cookies!”

“So glad I found this spot! Great flavors, great deal! Bring the whole family! Lots of options not just froyo”

“Delicious cookies and beautiful merchandise,crumbl cookie has it all! They have new Delicious flavors every week! Great if u want a quick treat or a yummy treat for celebration,so try the Delicious crumbl cookies 🍪 😋”

“The pizza was amazing. It’s for sure a good pizza spot if you are pregnant and craving pizza. They wear gloves bringing your food and the music is fair it’s not to loud”

“I cannot recall the name of our serve, but he was great. Brought me a sample of the apple Carmel slushy. Was not a fan; however the whipped pineapple slushy was delicious.”

“Fresh, homemade, delicious healthy food. Obsessed with the soup, lamb kabobs and grilled veg! Owner is a lovely altruistic man. Highly recommended!!❤️❤️❤️”

“Always a favorite place to eat at . Food is always delicious and service is great .”

“I have had several of the Middle Eastern menu items multiple times. Without a doubt it’s one of the best places here in Louisville. If not the best. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are healthy. I need to try some of the Italian dishes. The owner used to work in a top rated Italian restaurant for 17 years.”

We take all reviews seriously, and yours is no exception. We have reviewed your comments with our team to ensure accuracy and to identify areas for improvement. According to our records, we seated you at 6:45 p.m., and the check was closed out at 8:47 p.m., which aligns with the standard two-hour window we strive to provide all guests to enjoy their dining experience, even during busy evening hours. When you called for your reservation, our staff informed you that we were fully booked inside and offered seating at the bar, which you declined. You opted for outdoor seating instead. While we do our best to make our outdoor space as comfortable as possible within the confines of Goss Ave, factors like foot traffic and noise are unfortunately beyond our control. We have not received previous complaints about joggers and certainly not 30 joggers, nor have we had any complaints about the outdoor lighting, which was carefully considered when designing the space. We sincerely apologize for missing the late complimentary champagne toast. It’s unacceptable that it arrived so late in your meal, and we are addressing this internally to ensure it does not happen again.

We began with an appetizer featuring a beautiful selection of raw and cooked oysters, each one more delightful than the last. The raw oysters were fresh, briny, and perfectly chilled, with a subtle sweetness that made them irresistible. The cooked oysters were equally impressive, rich with flavor and topped with a delicate balance of seasonings that elevated the natural taste of the seafood. Opting for the chef’s choice for the entire meal was an inspired decision. Each course was thoughtfully curated, highlighting seasonal ingredients and creative pairings. The dishes were a perfect balance of flavors, textures, and presentations, keeping our palates intrigued and satisfied throughout the meal.

“Very good idk”

“EXCELLENT food! Great portions. The salads are fresh and the chicken is flavorful and tender. My go to dish is the Athenian broiled chicken. It’s out of this world delicious. I haven’t written a review for any restaurant in a while but had to post about this place bc it is amazing. Definitely recommend but I kind of hope this place doesn’t get too busy! It’s such a gem 💎”

“Connors has been a longtime favorite of ours. Over the years, we have had several good meals here, with service that often went above and beyond. I know how hard restaurant work is, and I’ve always appreciated the care the staff put in. But our most recent experience left us disappointed. The service was unexpectedly inattentive. We ordered a nice bottle of wine, but our server never returned to refill our glasses. A French fry order was forgotten, and when we asked about it, things seemed to unravel. The server was visibly exasperated. A supervisor eventually stepped in, handled things professionally, and assigned a new server—but by then the mood had shifted. This wasn’t just any lunch—it was a farewell meal with a dear friend leaving town, and I’d hoped for a flawless experience. At over $230, I expected more attentive service. I don’t share this lightly. Connors has been a place we’ve enjoyed many times. But this visit left me disappointed, and I won’t be returning anytime soon. There are many excellent Sarasota restaurants where $250 buys not just a good meal, but service that feels genuinely welcoming.”

“Great food and great staff always!!”

“Such a comfortable friendly place!”

“I did work for the person that owns this restaurant they're avoiding me trying not to pay me I wouldn't eat here they don't pay the people that do the work on the place for them to charge so much money for such low quality and I heard them bragging about watering down their liquor”

“our waitress was so sweet!! I went with my best friend and her family today and got the spicy tuna roll and yum yum roll, it was some of the best sushi I've ever eaten!! will definitely recommend in the future to anyone looking for a new place to try.”

“This is an Old Louisville gem! The menu is diverse, fresh, and always super flavorful. I love the frequency and creativity of their specials! And the staff and space are always super inviting. It's a fantastic neighborhood ramen shop with amazing charm and food! I'm so thankful they moved in!”

“We had a memorable meal on our anniversary. Food, wine, service, and ambience were top-notch”

“Made a custom cake with brown sugar pound cake with Bourbon Iceing for my Dad's retirement from the Air Force and came out exactly how I imagined! I definitely plan on buying more cakes from Millie. Thank you again!!”

“Fantastic food! Great service”

“How could we rate Ruth’s anything other than 10/10. My Wife graduated college yesterday (Thank you, Thank you) and our experience at this establishment felt personally catered. Khalil, Ricky, Kiki… this is exactly how an upper echelon dining establishment should be run. Multiple service checks, casual conversation, fast cooking, and the food was of the quality to which we paid. I couldn’t be more grateful. For the sake of the readers I’ll keep it simple, take a night out at Ruth’s. When you do, ask for the servers listed above!”

“On top of an exhaustive wine selection, Matt Winn’s Steakhouse boasts one of the largest bourbon collections in Bourbon Country, paired with a fine dining experience that overlooks the historic equine racetrack, Churchill Downs. Upon arrival, you are ushered via golf cart from the parking lot to the restaurant, located on the 6th floor. Immediately entering, you are overwhelmed with a southern hospitality and a selection of beverages par, none. The interior is modeled in typical Col. Matt Winn’s style of the 1920’s; you will find bourbon barrels, stained glass, and low hanging crystal chandeliers adorning the space where you can have private conversations without feeling like you’re at someone else’s table. The menu is simple, yet leaves nothing to want. Many accompaniments are available for a variety of items and the sides are portioned to share with the table. Service includes a delicious focaccia, and the staff operates in a way that does not interrupt, however you will never need for anything. Consider Matt Winn’s for your occasion dining, business meals, or treating your date to a fine meal that will not soon be forgotten!”

“the coffee, the ice cream and the vibes are on point”

“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”

“We had a great visit - the service and juice selections were great!”

“So glad we happened upon this wonderful gem!”

“I moved away from Chicago almost 20 years ago. this brought me right back. I haven't had a real combo beef since I left. this wasn't just wet, it had a full on baptism! well be back soon!”

“Great food and Great employees. I give five stars ***** to Kaitlyn Grizzel. She was Great.”

“I went to the Blak Koffee restaurant on April 28, 2025 and I was impressed! I’ve been knowing the owner for years and he is a great person. I highly recommend this a establishment to everyone.”

“It’s was our first time eating here. Oh my gosh the food was delicious and amazing! The owner was so nice and sweet to us. The Ube Turon was so so so so good. I just know my husband and I will definitely be back!”

“Im absolutely in love with this place, Im so mad at myself for not stopping by sooner, I come here for lunch and bring it back to my office and all my co-workers and customers said it smells delicious! We will all order soon! I love this restaurant!!!”

“i follow a blogger on youtube that travels the world. he is visiting Ethiopia and through watching it learned that Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. So i googled Ethiopian coffee shops in Louisville and found Abol cafe. visited today and had some pour over coffee, it was the best coffe i've ever had, and i have tried coffee everywhere!!!! believe me when I say this place has the best Coffee around. This place more than exceeded my expectations of Ethiooian Coffee!!!! I will be visiting this place alot more.”

“We were in Louisville for just a quick trip and our family was looking for a good authentic Mexican place to eat. We were SO GLAD to have found this place! The ambience is amazing and so beautifully decorated. The service was perfect, but the best part of all was THE FOOD. The specials were Caldo de Camaron, Pozole Verde, and Chiles Rellenos all super authentic and tasted just like one would make it at home. The drinks were fantastic, we had agua de horchata and jamaica and both were sooo fresh and tasty. Overall, we were happy that the one place we chose to eat was here!! If you are hesitant to stop by, don’t be, just go!!”

“The pizza is lit. Service is efficient and dude is super nice. I really wish the ranch was better and did not care for the type of cheese on the white pizza but other than that I cannot complain- I love all the other slices. The texture/chew/crunch of the crust is perfectly balanced, the flavor is spot on, and the options, value, and recipe are right on point. I stopped going to The Post when I found this place- this pizza exceeds Spinellis, The Post- better than any other NY style pizza around here. Plus, Locally owned and operated ? ❤️”

“The menu prices are outdated. Add roughly $2.45 for the sandwiches and the combos. The brownies are now $2.50.”

“This place is amazing. Cocktails were some of the best we've had in Louisville. Great service. Bartenders are super cool!!! Piscp sour and Paloma are incredible. Will definitely return!!!”

“We had an incredible dinner at Eden & Kissi for my son’s birthday. The Curry Chicken was rich and perfectly spiced, and the smoked Red Snapper was absolutely wonderful—flaky, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. What made the experience even more special was the staff. They were so lovely and welcoming, it genuinely felt like we were being invited into their home. Their warmth and attentiveness made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy authentic flavors and heartfelt service. We’ll definitely be back!”

“I like Brian the bar tender. He is nice, friendly and does a good job. He sure knows how to make a good manHatton I would recommend this place to every body.”

“This place is awesome!! The food is great the vibe is also but the people are even better!! My server Jolene was just perfect very attentive and on top of it!! Will for sure be coming back!!”

“This is my most favorite restaurant. I wish they would get on to doordash so I could have it delivered across the bridge to Jeffersonville Indiana. When I worked downtown Louisville at Humana we would eat there at least three times a week. All of the employees loved this restaurant. Please consider going on to doordash. I am disabled and cannot drive anymore so I cannot go to the greatest restaurant in Kentucky or Southern indiana. Thank you”

“They're in a food court. There's nothing they can do about the atmosphere. The food and service are great!”

“Good food & very attentive server Steven with trainee Chloe! Brandi stopped by to make sure all was ok. We really enjoy eating here.”

“Dear staff, thank you very very much for your great hospitality: We enjoyed your generosity and kindness on 18 february 2025. Very good and fresh made food in a really nice corner! Best regards from Family KERN from Cologne, Rhineland/Germany!😃”

“The food was enjoyable. The unavailability of beer was uncanny specially, no availability of the only one Italian beer offered. Cost way too long to be taken to the table. Some of the staff are welcoming. Others seem a little too good to help certain customers..”

“I’m actually afraid to tell how special this place is! Because I’m selfish like that. But I’ll share. I have never had a negative experience here! Food great , service great, environment great!”

“Was a great little cozy bar with awesome drinks. The bar girls made old fashions like no other. Highly recommend you try one”

“By far one of the best bakeries in the US. Chef Jackie is exceptionally talented and everything she creates is delicious. The staff is wonderful as well.”

“Can’t go wrong with this place”

“Delicious hand patted burger and the brioche bun was perfectly toasted. I had the Southend burger, which came fully dressed with patties and a fried egg!. The fries were nicely seasoned and plentiful. Meal includes your choice of different flavored lemonades. I got the watermelon, but would prefer a diet option because it was super sweet. We will definitely return!”

“The staff were so attentive and kind. The food was to die for! Portions were large and enough for two meals. Everything was very fresh. They have cocktails as well! Full bar. I highly recommend it.”

“Great surprise! The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and we enjoyed meeting Liz, who helped us understand the full range of dishes. Easy to park. Spread the word.”

“Our food was amazing! Best fried chicken ever!!! Our server Will was the best!”

“Highly recommend! Food was incredible! Service was just as impressive! What a way to wrap up a great visit to Kentucky with some friends!!! Thank you!!!”

“How could we rate Ruth’s anything other than 10/10. My Wife graduated college yesterday (Thank you, Thank you) and our experience at this establishment felt personally catered. Khalil, Ricky, Kiki… this is exactly how an upper echelon dining establishment should be run. Multiple service checks, casual conversation, fast cooking, and the food was of the quality to which we paid. I couldn’t be more grateful. For the sake of the readers I’ll keep it simple, take a night out at Ruth’s. When you do, ask for the servers listed above!”

“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. 🤣”

“We had a birthday dinner with 17 people 3/15/25! The waiter was awesome and the food and atmosphere was fabulous! We ate breakfast the next day at Doc Crow’s 3/16/25 it was delicious!”

“we went for breakfast yesterday, great food, service, clean and stylish!!!!!”

“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.”

“Been to this restaurant several times and the service and the food is always top notch! Nice atmosphere where you have soft music in the background and you’re able to have conversations without having to raise your voice.”

“We stopped in to Store #417 with a party of 5. Tina F did an amazing job taking care of us in a timely manor.”

“absolutely 10/10 recommend. our sever Becky did an amazing job and was the absolute sweetest! the food was AMAZING 👏 Wes sat down and had lunch as a family. poutine, angry alfrado, the kentucky brown, chicken and waffle, and chicken strips!”

“This place is awesome!! The food is great the vibe is also but the people are even better!! My server Jolene was just perfect very attentive and on top of it!! Will for sure be coming back!!”

“Tonight was our first time at 80/20 Kaelin's and we'll definitely come back. I had the fried chicken and brussel sprouts. Both were excellent but especially the brussel sprouts. Our waiter was phenomenal. I didn't get his name but he was a red haired gentleman. Not only did he make sure we always had what we needed but he kept us laughing. From his favorite football team, to getting cut off by a Packers fan, to what he does (other than being a waiter) for a living. The laughs didn't stop!! That, to me, is priceless. I hope he reads this and knows how much he was appreciated tonight. ❤️”

“Our visit to BTS was awesome. This place should be awarded a Michelin star! Everyone in the group arrived separately and was brought to our table. I started with a caesar salad with chicken which was a nice addition. The parmaesan cheese tasted like it was just freshly cut! Our entrees arrived and mine was cooked to perfection. The red sauce was soooo tasty! Everyone in our group enjoyed themselves. The decor is gorgeous and the presentation of our meals was upscale. Patty was excellent, refilled our drinks promptly and overall just took great care of us. For those reading there is a big parking lot in the back which I had no trouble parking my truck. Also our previous visits we didn't book thru Open Table since it was just us 2, but those were just as good!”

“I am gluten intolerant and while the menu is not GF specific the waiter understood gluten intolerance and suggested dishes I would be comfortable with.”

“Fantastic food! Great service”

“Great food! Great service! We will definitely go back here to eat!”

“First of all, we are not even sweets eaters. But, after our recent trip to Italy for the first time, we have been longing for authentic gelato. Stopped in tonight to get some to go, honestly was trying to keep my hopes reasonable. Bought mint choc chip, salted caramel and orange creamsicle. Tried two and oh my!!! The creamy texture and flavors took us right back! Love this place and will return!”

“The grilled chicken sandwich was tender and juicy! The vanilla milkshake was so good, I went back again that day and bought another one. Fantastic food choices from Chick Fila 😋 🔥”

“High praise. The new management has lowered the prices since I was last there.

Being all-you-can-eat, THE most inexpensive sushi in the city, with a great assortment and pretty good flavor.

Good service and friendly, respectful staff.”
