Visiting Louisville for the weekend…We had 2 lattes and the biscuits and gravy and the peach French toast. We just kept saying…this is so good , this is so good. I never write reviews. This place is amazing. We are going again this morning.

This place used to be so nice. They have been serving smaller and smaller plates over the past two years and the quality has gone down too. For a place that serves few patrons at once, is self-service, and is quite pricey; the portions and quality is just kind of bad.

TL,DR: the price is bad for what you get

Dined in on a Wednesday at 11am. Parking was easy to find. Seating was available immediately. The server was polite and helpful. The atmosphere is cozy. The Biscuits & Gravy put all others to shame. Just... depth of flavor. It is an odd word to use, but there is a certain "lightness" to the gravy I've never encountered in other versions. I was skeptical of "sage" listed prominently in the title, but pleased with the amount used. I asked for the syrup to be on the side. It's unclear how heavy handedly they would have applied it. However, a conservative drizzle is a fantastic addition that I had never considered on B&G. My only criticism is the somewhat conservative portion. The fried egg is unnecessary, and I would ask for it on the side in the future. The Smoked Bacon is fresh and delicious. The Blueberry and Basil French Toast is a decadent offering in a generous portion. Prices for all dishes (B&G $15, French Toast $16, Bacon $5.) were totally reasonable for both the quantity and quality. We look forward to our next visit, and we do not hesitate to recommend Gralehaus.

EVERYTHING was absolutely delicious!!!
Ordered the honey bee latte, eggs and grains, ugly frittata and peach and vanilla French toast (with cardamom mascapone). Everything was really good ??- I would recommend the ugly frittata and the French toast. I would come here daily if I could!! The service was good (you order at the bar and they bring food , water etc),and the atmosphere was really nice too!

Wonderful customer service (I have to eat dairy free and they accommodated that well with the frittata), excellent food from local farmers, tasty coffee! I loved the maca mocha latte and my husband enjoyed a cortado. Onyx and Methodical roasters used. Adorable little cafe in a cute neighborhood. 10/10 recommend!

Sept 21, 2024 - I recently came back and a little disappointed. There are too many options in Louisville to have to wait 1.5 hours to be seated then wait again for food. If you have lots of time to kill then you’re at the right place. It’s also gone from pricey to pricier; and I really did not notice an improvement in menu or quality.

We had a Grailhaus burger with Egg, a PBLT (Peaches BLT), the French toast with Peaches (which were on the menu Sept 21, 2024) I’m confident the owner will correct what we ordered. There are current pictures of the bar (which hasn’t changed , since the last time I was there).

It’s popular, it’s trendy, it’s pricey…good luck.

Previous review:
Small place, off beat location with great food and character. This place is worth the trip.

The burgers are delicious, but try the fried bologna sandwich and a cold beer.

They also have very good espressos, desserts and pretzels.

Really great atmosphere, super busy on a Sunday for lunch. Be prepared to wait if you don’t get there early (we waited 30 mins at around 10:30 am but as we left around 11:50 we overheard the wait was 2 hours?! Maybe we heard wrong - so double check).

Food was delicious. Summer salad was delicious, frittata good (not very good - so could skip), grits were very good but maybe a little too much butter, sausage was delicious, and we had two mimosas but the sparkling wine was flat.

You order at the counter and it gets delivered. No issue other than on a Sunday it is super busy so I think it took about 45 mins for our food to arrive .

But if you are not in a rush (we had to hurry a little to catch a flight), then it could be nice leisurely southern lunch. Atmosphere definitely great, so overall highly recommend.

Loved this place, the food all looked great, although it was a long wait (about 30 minutes after ordering), food was worth it though and staff were friendly.
