My daughter, grandson and I went for Brunch. It was very tasty. The pancake and bacon were spot on. The ice coffee was a big hit with my grandson. Our server Jer was excellent!!!

First of all if you are here for breakfast don't pass on the biscuit basket. Light, fluffy, crispy and buttery. Our classic breakfasts were perfect! Excellent gravy! The hashbrown casserole was delicious! What a fun place! It's an old firehouse. The stack of LP's in the corner were rotated through on the record player and kept us thinking of Marty Robbins. Staff were funny and attentive. Decently priced. Will definitely come back for lunch or dinner.

Johnny, Colson and Nate. What a team. Amazing service, food, and whiskey selection. Had an absolute blast and those guys made it unforgettable (no matter hiw many bourbons deep).

Banana pudding, pecan pie are not home made. Store bought. Drinks could have been better. Fried pickles were AMAZING!!!! Brisket had a fiber in it, but they replaced it! Great service! Ambiance was low-key!

Start the timer! Seated at 7pm. 7:02 menus and water brought to the patio. 7:03 returned and drinks ordered Old fashioned. With Makers mark. 7:07 dinner ordered! Chicken and Waffles, Steak Frites. Ok we tried the Old Fashioned's and wow, we had a struggle not to just chug them down! Perfectly smooth, slightly smoky and sweet with not too much bitterness. A muddled orange peel but no cherry. It wasn't needed anyway! Made by none other than Charles, our server! 7:30 dinner delivered and it looks great, until we cut into the steak(which looked cooked perfectly on the outside, but turned out to be well done and though we hated to do it we just had to send the steak back. In the meantime, munched on some of the best fries in Louisville, the Truffle Fries with that steak Frites plate. Wow. Perfectly crisp on the outside, just the right amount of give in the middle, and not overly truffle in flavor. Perfect New steak at 7:46pm. Cooked as expected and bursting with flavor. Issue rectified. It happens. 7:55pm asked for check. 7:58pm bill received and paid. Thanks to Charles, our server!

The food was ok but overpriced. I had a burger and tator tots, which was $18. It's not overpriced, but I'd expect better for that price. The thing that pissed me off was the nickel and dime pricing on everything else. They charged me $2 extra for soda on a, already Very profitable $13 Buffalo trace, so sleezy. My wife got a black bean burger. They charged me $2 for the gluten free bun And an extra $1 for vegan cheese. Neither of which we were informed prior to the bill.

Great food and very reasonable prices! The veggie burger was excellent, as were the tots.

Just simply tasty food, nice service, and unique venue. VERY extensive liquor menu, especially bourbon. They offer a very reasonable deal on a Buffalo Trace tasting flight including Pappy (reasonable compared to anywhere else around).

Everything about this place is great. Food is wonderful - especially enjoy the sweet potato toys. Service was appropriately attentive, and the atmosphere was relaxed. We've eaten both brunch and dinner here and highly recommend both.
Before the pandemic, this was a go-to place to take folks from out of town. But like most places their menu was reduced and things just weren't as great. They have been making strides though. A year ago, I was unimpressed with them and had become resigned to the fact that maybe it would never get back to where it once was. But tonight I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed eating here more than I have in years. The chicken and waffles were fantastic, and the tots were great. Always great music selections, and just a great place to enjoy good company. Totally recommend.

I was excited to try this well reviewed spot for a weekend early lunch. Sadly, left super disappointed. First, my hot chicken sandwich arrived looking slightly odd. Was smaller than the bun, which is rare for any a normal thigh sandwich. Oh well, thought I'd try for flavor. which while heavily oily, was flavorful for 1st few bites. Then it gave way to the toughest chicken I can remember being served:( it's as if the suspect piece had been carved wrong. Hard to even cut with a knife. To add to the disappointment, server was so busy rolling silver, I never saw him again after food arrived. $38 spent w/ side of potatoes & bloody Mary, w/ a different staff member closing us out. So didn't want to Stiff the entire staff but ridiculous to spend close to $40 for something mostly unedible w/ no staff attentive enough to tell about it

I hadn’t been to Silver Dollar in a few years and had an impromptu date night here. Well, boy have I been missing out! Let’s just say everything I drank and ate exceeded my expectations and was far better than any food I’ve had in Louisville in a long time. The special Hearts on Fire drink is my new fav! The jalapeño flavor at the end once your drink trickles down your throat is divine! I hope they keep this drink! The food was all so good and especially the tacos we had. So much flavor bursting like fireworks in my mouth! Someone please keep this entree on the menu!!!! Service was excellent! We sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive and available. I’ll be ready to venture back here sooner than a few years!
