The food and drinks were great, but the portion size was small for the price. Our waitress was excellent. Very prompt.
The restaurant was very warm inside. Fortunately, both of these minor issues are not a deal breaker. We'll definitely come back when we're in Louisville again.

I went for breakfast and was seated VERY quickly! My waitress, Lisa, was extremely nice and attentive. I had the Big Bad Breakfast Skillet with a pancake as my bread. The skillet was hot and AWESOME while the pancake, while pretty damn good, didn't blow my socks off. I'm a pancake guy so I'm pretty tough when reviewing them. I will be returning soon though.

i was going to take a picture but i ate my skillet too fast haha. i’ve had a lot of skillets in my life and the big bad skillet is hands down one of the yummiest skillets ive ever had. AND i got gluten free toast that was really good and soft. i’m just visiting KY but know where I’ll be going every time i come back.
