50 Best Burger Restaurants in Louisville

“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!!“

“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!“

“I got to say we have been here a few times and when i say best burger in town i mean that everytime i come to Louisville i make sure i get one and owner is super nice and take very great care of his customers“

Already can't wait to come back next time I drive through town!“

“The best fast food restaurant in all of Louisville!! 💯“

“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.“

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

“We’ve been here so many times and have always loved it.

Tonight, we tried to just our fantasy football draft with them but our league failed to show. We’d planned on 15 but not even half showed up. But this team still honored their fantasy football draft party for us - gave us a TV to watch the game we wanted (and this went way beyond the call of service) and they still honored their discounts.

We had actually no idea they did these thing for fantasy football drafts, so if you are drafting soon. You need to go here! Last minute. Amazing management and waitress staff.

We love bungalows and will forever be customers.

Killed it guys. Amazing work.“

“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. ❤️“

“Upon walking in @grindburgerkitchen I immediately caught the vibe - new age, hole in the wall burger joint with some killer artistic flair. The ambiance was welcoming and perfectly slow for a Wednesday evening. My good friend Nate and I sat down and conversed over some of the best food I’ve ever had in Louisville. I pulled out my supplies and begin to draw and paint. In his collaborative style, Nate began to snap a few candid photos as I created. Slowly the waitresses notice my work and send a compliment. I explained more about the piece and how I’d like to trade when the General Manager introduces herself and peeks at the piece. She seems quite excited and runs to the back to find something to trade me for the art - a pink disco cup. Thank you, Grind Burger for the amazing food & friendly faces. We’ll be back!“

“Highly recommended really fast service and I mean fast. Drinks refilled fast without even have to ask now thats service! 💯 anyone looking for a great meal thats fast well cooked and delicious come here. There sodas are cheaper then other restaurants which is a plus 💯.“

“I want to say no, I don't remoend so this hot spot stays low key, but I cant, this place is amazing! Old school tavern feel in an old building, sports TV and laid back feel. Best...the food is amazing and I can't wait to come back and try another dish. My new favorite place while in Louisville.“

“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!“

“Cookies is wonderful also first time we ate there o my god I will be back“

“My wife and I went for Valentines dinner. She had the Shrimp and Lobster pasta while I had the prime rib, both were delicious. Since they had a special menu for the holiday we are anxious to get back and try the regular menu.“

“The Highland Not Brown was fabulous!! Perfect for breakfast or lunch.“

“Jaylen was our Cashier/Server he had a great attitude. Brought out our food hot and fresh and was very pleasant.“

“Great ice cream for a good price!“

“Their food is good but I’m disappointed that the cheese sauce recipe has changed. It was one of my favorite parts of the meal 😢“

“The “tronuts” will make your eyes roll back in your head! Absolutely addictive! You’ve been warned. Plus the owners are lovely friendly folks!“

“Gotta be one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten hands down.“

“I'm not a barbecue guy but I gotta say that Martin's turned that attitude around really quick. I love the decor and the fact that they have a deck that's half open and half screened in giving you the choice to sit on either side you like. The barbecue was amazing, hands down the best I've ever had, I honestly can't wait to come back - I had the brisket burger and Mac and cheese and it was immaculate. Highly recommend.“

“This is a definite must I have been here twice and both times I have had excellent service and the food is excellent“

“While it is true that bugs tend to get inside frequently, I thought the food and hospitality were great!“

“So…. This giant was standing in front of the building shouting across the street at me about how this place had the best burger in town. So I calmly said I would be back to talk about it. Went to the cross walk and waited for the light and bee bopped my happy butt back up there to speak with him. He went on to claim that the double Colorado with bacon and fried egg was the best burger ever. Hmmm. We will see about that. Long story short….. after a short wait I was presented with this huge nasty good looking 🍔 burger. Geeeeezus. It was some kind of yum. And the fries with rosemary, garlic, and olive oil. Wow. Anyway. Now I’m stuffed. Very good burger. It’s a belly full. Will be back for another one. Oh yeah….. If the giant had not been on the sidewalk showing such enthusiasm for the burgers, I would have never Even noticed the place. Congrats to the big guy. 👍😀“

“Exceptional Management, service and food. Can not recommend this restaurant enough. Please go eat! 5 stars“

“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!“

“We always have a great time here.“

“this place is awesome! their fried pickles are the best I've had from anywhere ever. all the food and drinks are reasonably priced and portioned pretty well. the staff is great and always gives good service. the place is dog friendly as well. it been a favorite weekend hangout for some time now. if your in the area, you should stop in.“

“Ok Bambi bar. Your pictures of what you call a fantastic cheese burger lured me in!

Here’s the skinny. It was good on the one bite scale. 7.2 all day. Onions were on point and if I am getting down to it the wand soft drink was good. That’s more unusual than anything else.

Atmosphere 5/5. Now remember this is a dive bar. Please do not confuse cleanliness with atmosphere. Again repeat it with me. Dive Bar. Ok with that said it was not gross or anything but I would never go to McDonald’s and expect 5 Guys. I think that’s fair personally.

To summarize if I lived in the area I would happily pop in here over fast food any day other than week. I probably would not drive 45 minutes to try it. However put a pin in it and when you’re on Bardstown road for lunch drop in. Or if you a partying extra hard and need to sober up I think they got you. Or get more beer I ain’t your parent. Cheers!“

“Henry is the best worker that I have ever met on the whole planet. he deserves a raise, or at least a bonus. he truly does his job amazingly. I always let him pick my food when I can't decide. he always picks the most expensive thing, but it's too good to say no“

“Great spot“

“I was traveling through and a stranger recommended this place to me. I’m solo and with my dog, and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. We sat outside, they brought us a water bowl and treats for my pup. And beyond that, the brisket sandwich was the best brisket I’ve had in a long time. It’s not easy being a solo woman traveling with a dog, I’m so glad I found this place. To be able to eat well and have a great experience made my trip extra special. Kate M took care of us and between her, the kitchen manager, and the hostess, I’m definitely coming back before we head home! Thank you all“

“Burgers are top tier and their sauce is perfection“

“Thank you so much ! 💓 They went above and beyond to help and accommodate me for dietary needs. Alpha Gal friendly- this is rarity and much appreciated. You have my gratitude“

“THAT PHILLY IS EVERYTHING 🤘🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥 HANDS DOWN BEST I'VE EVER HAD!“

“The best place to watch sports and eat good food and drink good drinks.“

“Today was the first time myself and my friend ever ate at Freddy’s. I’ve only heard good things about that place and now personally see why. Food tasted fresh but the attentiveness of the staff and their seemingly positive attitudes totally made the first experience great. Thanks so much for a refreshing lunch. May your establishment stay prosperous for many days to come. :)“

“Today was my first time here with my fiancé. I ordered the smoked wings ( flats) with fries and the bartender, Jessica, suprised me with a new drink called " the killer kool- aid). Everything was delicious, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. I loved the atmosphere as well. We will be returning like ASAP.“

“This place has literally been part of my life for over 30 years.“

“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“

“Ice cream is so good! And an amazing selection of items“

“I absolutely love emmysquared pizza! Yummy for lunch or dinner. Our server, Shannon Scanlan, did an excellent job! I recommend it to my friends.“

“I’ve never wanted to write a positive review so quick in my entire life!! I heard about this place through TikTok earlier today and I just had to try it! I don’t have a car so I DoorDashed it and the burger went above expectations! It was juicy it was flavorful. The fries were amazing. Please support this burger joint!! You will not be disappointed! The only thing that would make it better is if I could eat inside!!“

“Dylan was a wonderful server and my husband and I had an amazing meal. The mussels were incredible the ribeye was tender and cooked perfectly. The salmon was absolute perfection as well. Cocktails were great! Dylan was kind, polite and extra helpful and knowledgeable when it came to the menu. Will 100% be back next time we’re in town.“

“Received EXCELLENT service from Chris & Lisa …showed up at the window at the last minute & could have easily turned me away but instead was kind enough to serve me with a smile! Cant say enough how much I appreciate awesome workers & they are the BEST! Would recommend 100%“

“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.“

“My husband and I went there tonight for a spontaneous late night dinner and it was amazing! The bartender was so nice! The food was soo good! We were impressed and will definitely be back!“
