“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 had the Zarzuela de Mariscos. It was recommended by our awesome waitress. It was absolutely perfect! One of the best seafood soups I've had. The atmosphere was really neat too. This is a really good place.”
“We went in for a birthday celebration and were not disappointed! Our servers Keith R.(aka Steve) and Mason W (aka Larry) were impeccable. The food was what you would expect from a high end steakhouse - steaks were cooked to order and the sides were awesome. Thanks Steve and Larry for making our celebration extra special - we had a great time with you!”

“Lowkey, low lit restaurant with amazing food and well-paced service where you can enjoy a dinner with friends and family! We love eating family style so we can all try a few things each time.”
“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.”

“I’ve been going to funtea since they’ve opened and it is one of my favorite places of all time. The owner, Amy, is the absolute sweetest and everyone there goes above and beyond for the drinks, desserts and service. We go here almost every weekend because of how much we love it!”
“One of my favorite places to eat! Good fresh ingredients, love that a lot of items are homemade! I cant get enough of this place!”
“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.”
“Just started working in Louisville, decided to try what I would consider a whole in the wall Mexican food place.. this place is super clean super authentic. Great food great service. I come here couple times a week for the great tacos. If you’re in the area I would give Luna’s a try”
“I love Martini's The food and company are spectacular. I have tried. a mixture of many dishes and they all have been wonderful. The wait staff is fabulous and friendly. Jason an s Kya are incredible. They make me feel like one of the family. It is worth every penny!!!”
“All total a super eating experience. Manager and Waiter were very attentive and service was fast. Loved the tropical ambience and Latin Caribbean music selection.”
“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!!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Had a pharmaceutical event there today and the service was top notch ! Great food and the drinks are fantastic 🍷”
“We were sat promptly and had wonderful service throughout our stay. Our waitress, Danielle, was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly and accommodating. Jasmine and John were wonderfully attentive to our needs, clearing plates and refilling drinks. The food was deliciously prepared. Highly recommend the house dessert! Thank you for a wonderful dinner experience!”

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”

“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”
“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.”
“Late night pickup order submitted online. Good food, only hiccup is the server never called the order to the cooks, so they had to pull the history up to get the ticket. It made the wait a bit longer, but it was just an accident. I'm happy overall, they got good customer service, plus my food was fresh and cooked perfectly.”
“The staff was outstanding very attentive but not overwhelming. They took my order promptly and had my food in front of me with lightning speed. And the food was excellent!
It was prepared precisely as I ordered it and was as delicious a meal as I have ever had.
When I come to the Waffle House I have moderate expectations, today those expectations were shattered.
Thank you Waffle House for a wonderful dining experience.”
“I just want to shout out Olivia at the Saint Matthews location. I have never received better customer service in my entire life and I have worked in food service and customer service For 22 years. Last night at about 6 o’clock I ordered a six pack of the regular size Dubai chocolate cookies from the Saint Matthews location. I live in Fairdale and every other location you know relatively not all of them, but most of them were sold out and I was like well I’ll just go to Saint Matthews so I ordered them. I need the store didn’t close till 10 so I decided not to leave the house until eight thirtyish and I don’t drive. I took an Uber. So we get all the way there after paying you know nearly $60 for an Uber and almost 40 for cookies. We’re coming up to $100 just for these cookies at this point we get to Saint Matthews, my youngest daughter and I, and when we get there, the Baker tells us that they do not have any of the regular size Dubai chocolate cookies they only have four minis and I was like OK well can I get a refund and she said we can’t do it without my manager here and I was like some options are cookies I don’t want or no money back and I’ve already spent $100 like I was pretty bummed I wasn’t rude or anything and but I was just really bummed I felt super letdown so that I called my other children and had them pick out what they wanted and they weren’t too excited but you know she could hear their voice is like I guess I’ll take this now. I guess I’ll take that. Well. I alternate between all three of my kids Crumbl points so that they each can accumulate them and get little rewards and things so yesterday was my middle child’s Crumbl point day and my youngest daughter and I leave Crumbl with the cookies. We weren’t really excited about because we didn’t get the one so we wanted and go to target across the street and before we finish at target my middle child calls to tell me that the manager Olivia called and said that she understood where we were really disappointed by not getting the Dubai chocolate cookies and that she wanted to make it up to us especially because we pre-ordered them and came all the way from across town in an Uber to make it up to us and she was going to drop some off to us personally and I was like well that’s great thank you… And I was thinking she meant 10:30 in the morning because you know nobody wants to go across town after work you know after they’ve worked there their little buns off all day so we get home and 🦋💙👩👧My Daughter’s like oh well Miss Olivia’s gonna be here the manager and I was like when is she coming? She said oh she’s on her way. Olivia went above and beyond in every Single possible way. Not only did she come with cookies she got all of them to buy chocolate cookies and she made us a gorgeous little cute little box and she also brought a little goodie bag with two chocolate milks, and two white milks and then another little goodie bag she brought two Crumbl Tumblr cups two Crumbl pop socket sands two Crumbl sunglasses Crumbl tattoos and Crumbl stickers I mean she literally just went above and beyond oh and Crumbl keychains and not only that but she drove them all the way from Saint Matthews To Fairdale at 11 something at night she didn’t get to my house till 1130 so I know she didn’t get home until after midnight after working all day long and I I’ve just never had somebody go above and beyond that way in all of my entire life and she really just deserves a shout out. Not only should she get a shout out like she gave the kind of service that I will gladly pay an Uber to take me all the way across town to Saint Matthews. If it means going to Olivia‘s Crumbl.”
“J. Grahams Cafe was superb. My mother loved it. The staff were helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back.”
Takeout Restaurants
“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!!”
“I’ve been a few times to Better Blend and I have to say the last time I went was to the Louisville location. It was by far my favorite, the staff were very friendly, and the menu items we tried were the best I have had yet!! The business was very clean, and it made me feel even better about picking the healthy food options we had ( I had the peanut butter Oreo for the first time and it really hit the spot!) I recommend if you are in the area and looking for a fresh crisp healthy choice stop by and give it a try!”
“We came from out of town for a work dinner and we were blown away! Our sweet waitress Karolina was predicting all of our needs and so hospitable. Incredible food and one of the most unique desserts we have ever had. Absolutely recommend!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“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.”
“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.”
“Amazing place! Excellent customer service, delicious food, delightful drinks, and festive atmosphere! I love their menu, and am so grateful for their vegan options and creativity. I love the variety of drinks, the fries were well seasoned and crisp yet fluffy, and the burger was so good! The sauces were so flavorful! love love love. Already can't wait to come back next time I drive through town!”
Fine Dining
“So the last two visits to capital grill have been lack luster mainly due to service - our waiter was ok but had to request water twice and service was slow then to top it off I never received my leftovers - he said he would package them up and my hubby got his but mine were not included! I ate 1/3 of my $86 steak and should have had spinach and mushrooms as well! Very disappointing! Would expect that service level at Outback but not the capital grille!”
“Brilliantly planned and conceived menu that featured high quality food that was creatively prepared. The portions were generous for a tasting menu. We really enjoyed that we were not at all rushed through our meal nor was there a long lag between courses. A truly memorable experience.”
“Ordered a smash cake and a sheet cake for our daughters first birthday. So glad we chose Sweets by Millie! From the beginning, the process was so easy and she understood exactly what I was picturing in my head. The pricing is upfront and matches the quality of cake you will receive. Definitely will be ordering again in the future!”
“My husband and I each had the steak & frites in addition to sharing a burrata appetizer. The food and drinks were excellent, the price points were fair and the atmosphere was great. Grateful we ate here on vacation!”
“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!”
“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.”

“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!”
“Visiting Louisville and two days in a row coming to this fabulous establishment! Absolutely amazing food and Lexi at the bar offered the best service!”
“We had a group of 18 people to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. It was a great time. The food was delicious. The show was very interactive and entertaining. I highly recommend it. If you have a chance, the Suspct package was worth it.”
“Excellent experience! Amazing fresh authentic food, incredible service and adorable ambiance. 5 stars!”
“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!”
“The Bottle store has so many options if you are a bourbon enthusiast. What an amazing collection, great people, great prices and I was able to get a few things to bring home.”
“We stopped by after an early bird Valentines Day. The staff was so welcoming and lovely. The decor is great and matches us perfectly; he loves bourbon, I likes wine. The game corner with cozy couches was a great place to unwind. The 6 flights were a great option to sample the extensive wine list at a super reasonable price. We are so sorry to have slept on this gem for so long. They hold several events, tastings and socials. Looking forward to adding to our regular rotation and checking out the calendar!”
“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!”
“Delicious cookies and clean place to eat desserts at. I would recommend these cookies.”
“The food is wonderful and you get to cook the meat yourself at your table! Pretty awesome!”
“We were traveling and got a recommendation to try Osteria. The evening could not have been better. Our server Kristy was wonderful and had a great knowledge of the food offerings and their preparation . The food was fantastic. The experience was a 10 out of 10. Thank You Osteria”
“My sister and I had lunch at Ramsi’s today. The crispy pedal salad is consistently delicious. I highly recommend it. The entrée that I ordered today was good but the chicken was overdone. Ramsi the owner came out to apologize and made it more than right for us . TOP NOTCH CLASS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE! Thanks Ramsi we will definitely be back.”
“My sister and I shared a wonderful evening at Cuvee last night. We overindulged on some recommended reds, and thoroughly enjoyed sharing a few small plates and the dinner special of salmon over fettuccini pasta. We were pampered by the staff and treated to a birthday dessert. We can't wait to come back.”
“We did a weeklong road trip with lots of fine dining along the way including a Michelin Star restaurant in Chicago, and this was the best food on our trip. Everything was delicious. Food, drinks, and service was all amazing. Do not pass this by if in the area!”
“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!!!”
“One of my favorite restaurants! The food is always so good and the staff are consistently welcoming and friendly. And did I mention how amazing the food and drinks are?
The patio is a huge plus, spacious, covered for rain, and heated when it’s a little chilly, which makes it comfortable year-round.
Always my first choice for dinner out!”
“Ryan was our server this evening and he was absolutely amazing! We had a large group for our kiddos graduation. Thank you for the great food, atmosphere, and drinks! Was well worth coming from Texas 💕”
“We stopped for brunch on our way through town, we wanted to see the historic Brown Hotel. There was a variety of foods offered on the buffet, including a made-to-order omelette station. My husband ordered the Hot Brown and we both thought that was very good. We had vodka bloody Mary's that were topped with house made picketed vegetables; they were perfect. Our service was excellent as well.”
“The only word I have to describe this restaurant is perfect. The sushi and sashimi were perfect. The sake recommendation was perfect. Dessert was....yes, perfect. Hands down, the BEST sushi restaurant in town and definitely recommend getting the omakase.”
“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.”
“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.”
“French toast casserole with apple butter and syrup, amazingly wonderfully good! I travel quite a bit and this place is uniquely special. Looks like a house but Uber took us right here.”
“Food is excellent, the service is impeccable and the atmosphere is perfect for a special occasion. Love it here.”
“Lovely atmosphere. It was a slow weekday, but the staff was great. Waiter recommended the pork chop, and it was very tasty. My family enjoyed their meals as well.”
“What not to like, service and food is wonderful. Just priced a bit $$$$$$. But, why not.”
“Just moved to Louisville 2 months ago and I can’t get enough of this delicious food. Easily one of my favorite places here.”

“AMAZING pizza. And everything else. Everyone I’ve take there LOVES it!!!! My favorite pizza in Lville.”
“Food was prepared so well!! All our dishes were nice portions, excellently prepared. Sangria was better than we had in Spain! Waitress was very busy but served us well The only big negative was the noise level. You could not hear folks at your table We would return considering the food was top notch! Yummy mushroom soup, crepe, meat croquettes, empanadas, etc.”

“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 wife and I had dinner with our youngest son earlier this evening. The service was friendly and helpful and the menu offered a ton of options. The food was SPECTACULAR! The yellow curry with shrimp was the best curry I’ve ever eaten! My wife raved about the Pad See Ew and our son loved his red curry, too. His cobb salad with an *incredible* ginger soy dressing was delicious. We will be returning to this wonderful, casual restaurant, and often. tl;dr the food is so, so, sooooo good”

“We had a party of 7 on a very crowded Sunday afternoon on Memorial Day weekend. Our food was delicious and came to our table in a timely manner. Our server, Marley, was the star of the show! She was attentive, professional, and made everything about our dining experience go smoothly. We will definitely return the next time we’re in town!”
“Tiffany and Dallas were awesome and to wonderful care of me while I waited for my flight. The big breakfast was great even with a pancake! I'll stop here the next time I'm here in Louisville!”
“My husband and I visited for Valentine's day. I generally enjoyed the experience. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere was rather pleasant. Of course the meat just kept coming, although I'm not big on eating that much beef. For my expectations and taste the steaks should have had more tenderness. It seemed to have been overcooked. The sides and salad bar were delicious. The only other downside is the 20% gratuity that was automatically charged when it was stated on the menu this was for a party of six or more, it was just two of us. I feel we should have been made aware of such a charge. I didn't notice until I got home. I do plan on returning bc my husband loved it, for my taste I'll stick to the chicken and the salad bar.”
“Started a birthday tradition last year. We are heading back this year in a few days to continue the tradition. Great food and service! I can't wait to celebrate here again. Counting down the days!”
“This place was wonderful! Yesterday was my first time coming to Grassa Gramma and my husband and I went for an early Valentine's date. The decor and atmosphere was breath taking! Just so gorgeous! Our waiter was kind and gave us the specials for the day. I ordered the baked seafood scampi and my husband ordered the cacio e pepe and we loved it! I even reheated my pasta today and it tastes just as delicious as it did yesterday!”
“Megan is a fantastic waitress. She anticipated our parties every need. She knew everyone’s drink and kept everyone filled. She not only cared for our table of 12, but also several other tables. We will always ask for her by name! Love the vibe in this restaurant.”
“Hell of a good place to eat and drink!! loads of draft beer to please anyone!! Joey and Rodney are as good as it gets!! If your in the area you need to check this place out!! we will be making the hour and 20 minute drive back down here in the near future!!!”
“First off kuddos to the Chef!! We had an absolutely phenomenal dining experience. The staff was amazing and so attentive. Special thank you to Ashley the owner, your energy was amazing and you were so inspirational and motivating to your team. Thank you for seating us at the chef's table it was a one-of-a-kind experience! I wish you and the team nothing but success in the future you guys were all amazing!! GD”
“World of Beer, the name says it all. But there is a hidden secret, and that is the food. The food that this wonderful place produce is nothing short of a 5 star restaurant and beyond that. The taste, the quantity and most importantly the consistency of the food that comes out of their kitchen is unmatched. WOB When you guys read this, please give my compliments to the chef and his team. Truly Amazing. As far as the menu is concerned my family and I have most of what's on the menu and we are still waiting to be disappointed. Everything on the menu is phenomenal. Their mahi mahi fish sandwich is to die for. A Fish Sandwich so nice had to have it twice that day. Their fried Mac and cheese balls though, OMG there is no place in the Ville that has Mac and Cheese balls that come even close to the ones at WOB. The staff is amazing, when I eat there with my family we have two waitresses and man they are on it. Sorry ladies I'm bad with names but in my next visit I will update this.
Overall phenomenal place. Now go and get some grub.”
“My wife and I have been coming here since 2018 or so, we have loved it every single time, enough that I proposed to my wife in the restaurant! Great food, kind staff, excellent decor. All around a great date night location!”

“I’m an old-school guy who believes in salt yes pepper yeah butter yes maybe a mushroom the other nonsense on my steaks no way! The menu had a reference to their coffee cured filet…ordered one for the table. It was the hit of the night. Enjoyed the sides. enjoyed the atmosphere. I definitely will be back!!”
“I've lived in Louisville Kentucky my whole life and this is one of the best places I've ever had I was very blessed at the time to be able to enjoy their food and their hospitality believe you me if I wasn't homeless I would ask for another order of oysters”

“We were in Louisville and decided to try Homerun Burger at 5608 Outer Loop. The little guy that was working the drive through was so nice. The food was a little pricey $10.05 for Double beef cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese and a vanilla milkshake $4.99. However, the food was delicious my milkshake was perfectly not frozen solid but not runny, perfect consistency. It was worth the extra money because you are spending at least $10.00 a person at a fast food place that can't get your order right, slops your food together and are going to be rude on top. Would recommend”

“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!”

“My wife and I brought our two daughters to Le Moo tonight to celebrate our youngest turning two tomorrow. We didn’t reserve a birthday table or expect anything special, but as we were leaving I politely asked the hostess if it would be possible to get two balloons for our kids. The hostess kindly grabbed two balloons and was about to hand them to me when her manager stopped her and told her she was not allowed to give them to my children. The hostess was clearly embarrassed and apologized. I told her it was no big deal and didn’t make a scene, but I’ll be honest — it was disappointing. As a business owner myself, I fully understand that you can’t accommodate every request, and policies exist for a reason. That said, after spending around $500 on dinner, and having two young children who were the only kids visibly in the restaurant, being denied two balloons — something that likely costs pennies — left a sour impression. My family has spent thousands of dollars at Le Moo over the years, and this was one of our more disappointing experiences. I do want to be very clear that our waitress, Kay, was absolutely fantastic. She provided excellent service and made the dining experience enjoyable up until that final interaction. I’m sharing this not to demand anything, but simply to provide feedback. Small gestures matter, especially when celebrating moments with young kids. Unfortunately, this was a miss for us tonight.”
“For my sons birthday, Jacob Withrow ,he wanted family to meet at the Village Anchor (10 of us ) We all have been raving over how good the food was after we left there yesterday. It all came out in a timely manner and done the way we asked , and Bravo to the chef. Our waitress Melissa was fantastic she was on to of everything and made sure we all were taken care of and happy . My husband is very picky when it comes to food and he was absolutely gives 10 stars to the Village Anchor. We all said we would make the 2 1/2 hour drive to eat there again. This was a great choice my son Jasob Withrow made. You did very well Village Anchor !!!! Peggy Hubbard, Somerset Ky.”
“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.”
“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!”

“Found this absolute hidden gem and I’m so glad I did! This was my first time visiting Goldies, and the experience was 10/10. The coffee is amazing—easily some of the best I’ve had lately—and the customer service was wonderful from start to finish. I really loved the 'grown' vibe of the space; it’s sophisticated, relaxing, and exactly what the area needed. I’ll definitely be back!"”
“This is by far my favorite Mexican Restaurant in town, for both quality burritos, great meat options, authentic drinks, and at a fair price. They have a lot of choices you don’t commonly see anywhere north of Mexico. Honestly underrated and more people need to discover this restaurant. My recommendation: Chile Relleno burrito with Barbacoa 🌯.”
“I spent my mornings here during my stay in Louisville during Louder Than Life. There was no better way to start your day than to chit chat to the beautiful owner of this place. I am missing my morning Americano brew and a yummy sandwich as I get back to my "normal" life here in Canada. If you are in the vicinity of this cafe, please do yourself a favor and drop in. I hope I get to make it back next year for LTL and a fresh brewed cup.”
