“Great atmosphere, awesome staff, amazing drinks, the old fashioned made by Greg is one of the best ? in town, the bourbon bloody mary is mouth watering, but you have to try the Cool hand luke made by Trevor; it is a must have. The bourbon bread pudding is delicious ?”

“I do like your regular chocolate glazed donuts. However, Please bring back the chocolate crème filled round powdered donuts in the store at Shively. They use to make them, and you do have the lemon and vanilla crème. I hope you can bring them back. Thank you.”

“Went through the drive through, needed a chicken sandwich, didn't just want, needed, was hangry as a MF. They got me through quick and it was exactly what I needed.”

“Wow, what a great place! My wife and I visited Louisville, and on the recommendation of a local, popped into Mayan Cafe and were completely impressed! The hostess and waitress were extremely nice and even though we came toward the end of the night were very welcoming and never hurried us along. The margarita with mezcal I ordered was perfect, and the dark, romantic room was fun and had a good, buzzy energy. We ordered the sikil pak and both agreed it was the best we've had - great depth of flavor and silky texture, it is a must-try! The scallop ceviche was also great - the scallops were marinated to the perfect texture, the flavors were fresh and bright, and the serving size was generous. My wife ordered the tuna tacos and loved them, raved about them. I ordered the duck with black mole and it was really great - succulent dark duck, confited and served shredded, tasted almost like deeply roasted, juicy pot roast - awesome flavor, but the mole was the star - great compliment to the duck. We split the cochinita pibil and both loved it - the achiote sauce was beautiful to look at and tasted earthy and complex, and the fried plaintains it was served with were nicely tourneed - a cool little touch that added to the fancy vibes of the meal. Even though it is certainly gourmet-level and very interesting food and a great way to experience a different kind of "Mexican" cuisine, and the dishes are crafted with love and look great on the plate, the prices were very fair and not too expensive. We loved Louisville, plan to visit more often, and will definitely be back to Mayan Cafe (to hopefully try the rabbit next time!). Highly recommended.”

“YaimaSo I entertain clients for a living, which has brought me to some if the highest rated restaurants in the country. So when I say that this experience was par none the greatest I have ever had, it puts me in shock that this hidden oasis is nestled in Louisville. If I had stumbled upon this restaurant in a little haven of Cuba that would make more sense. The love was experienced in every bite but the passion of our waitress brought it all to a climax that will live with us forever. Yaima was one of lights in the industry that reminds you that people make the difference. She was the star that brings this wonderful experience to the mountain top of a five star experience. Recommend you sit outside where you can experience authentic cuban music as the food whisks you away to time that food speaks all language and units cultures. Bravo.”

“Michael was a wonderful sever and his assistants were amazing also. They were so nice and helpful our drinks never went dry. Overall a wonderful experience on our 29th anniversary celebration, thanks Jeff Ruby’s and staff. Mike and Amanda Sowards.”

“Great service. Shoutout to our server Brittany (hope I’m spelling it right). Cannot recommend the chicken empanadas enough. They are AMAZING. The bacon wrapped chorizo skewers are out of this world too! Shoutout Noel the bartender!!!! Drinks were great! I got the Mezcal old fashion, highly recommend. Girlfriend got the raspberry mojito and it was really refreshing. For dinner, girlfriend got the chicken and queso, I got the Vaca Frita, shredded steak with veggies, black beans, and rice. I cannot say enough about how good the food, drinks, and atmosphere are here. Highly recommend. Will definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options.Parking: Hardly any parking, but this is not Havana Rumba’s fault. It’s a very busy area. You will have to find street parking around the local neighborhood which will likely require a small walk.”

“Cannot be beat! Food, service, atmosphere- no better spot in town, hands down.We hate leaving but always look forward to coming back. Jonathan Tarullo and team have set the bar for fine dining in Louisville!”

“Great French toast, biscuits and gravy! Where else can you have a Belgian Quad from the tap while you wait also? This was the part of the restaurant that is open 9am till 2pm. There is always a wait on the weekends but worth it.”

“Three of us had dinner on Tuesday night. The restaurant had a very nice atmosphere. Our server was Yasmine. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. She was attentive but not obtrusive. Everyone enjoyed the food very much. We had a lovely leisurely dinner. I would definitely return.”

“North of Bourbon is remarkable. A unique hidden gem of a restaurant with excellent service, food and drinks. Brad, Eric, and team were friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!”

“We just got back from eating their mussels. They were absolutely amazing. We are from VA and they are the best I have ever had. Great atmosphere and super service.”

“We stopped here as part of an awesome food tour and had the gravy train with biscuit bites. It was divine! The biscuit bites are impossible to put down…so, so good!”

“Best food this side of the ohio river in my opinion. Food is always fresh, customer service is always on point, he even gave us free cookies after our 4th large order. Definitely the go to spot for good chicago style grub.”

“A great addition to NULU!I went to Cherry Pickin’ for the first time today and am already looking forward to going back. Sydney the owner was great- as was the staff! They gave me some samples of juices to try and I ultimately decided on the Cherry Picker (it was delicious). As someone who works in NULU and often looks for healthy lunch options, I was excited to learn that they also offer a variety of toasts along with their juices, smoothies and bowls. I’m happy to have their business in the neighborhood and can’t wait to try more of their menu!”

“We loved this bar! We were traveling from MN and wanted to watch the Vikings game. We found the Parlay and loved hanging there long after the game was over. Excellent drinks! And the 3 owners working there were so awesome!”

“Vegan Empanadas!! My husband and I were in Louisville overnight, and finding good vegan breakfast options can be tricky. We've been vegan for 10 years and this was the best breakfast dish we've had. Truly delicious. And the service was fantastic! Thanks for having a killer plant-based offering!!”

“The restaurant from the outside is simple, but when you enter and order fish, it is really wonderful. I am from the Arabian Gulf. My country is Bahrain in the middle of the sea. We have a lot of fish. I know good fish and a good cook and taste. But here the restaurant is really wonderful. I have not tried any fish restaurant in Louisville because the fish that is not good makes me Sick and this is my second visit in a week. I will be a customer and it is close to our home. I liked this restaurant and all the staff are friendly”

“It was a good steakhouse but very expensive. It was priced similar to Marcel here in ATL and Bavette’s in Chicago but the experience wasn’t in line with those types of places”

“We arrived very early for our reservation and had a seat at the bar. Cocktails were great a d we were seated early. Wait staff were knowledgeable and helpful. The food was amazing.”

“I had a great dining experience here recently and I can honestly say this food satiated my soul. The baba ganoush was very well balanced and the tabbouleh was so bright and tasty. These were the highlights for me but everything else was also delicious.”

“It has a nice vibe. You can go and have pizza and beer. The area is thriving. This is a place I will go back and enjoy again, when in the area of Louisville KY.Wheelchair accessibility: It is handicap accessible.”

“delicious and good price and friendly folks. big big big fan. im in iowa right now typing this because i miss you all so much. ill see you monday for another great meal of gyro (myself) and falafel (my partner) and fries and baklava!”

“Jack Fry's is a community icon and standard for the best food and service in the area. I have not tried a dish that wasn't above excellence! The historic feel of the restaurant coupled with the food makes for an unforgettable experience!”

“Visiting from out of town and went with a local of the area to this local. The pizza was pretty delicious and had flavor too it. The different takes on slices is pretty cool and hard to come by in other pizza locations.Pizza wasn't greeley at all, thought the dough was a little thin, but I like thin crust pizza. The Korean BBQ slice was delicious and recommend trying! Slices are massive!!Atmosphere was pretty loud with the garage door open and music blaring on a Saturday night. Staff kept restaurant clean and we had very little wait time for our food.”

“This place is the 2023 best whiskey bar for good reason. The food is great, service is fine dining quality but not stuffy. Definitely sit at the bar to chat about bourbon with the bar staff.”

“Stopped in on my way to work, and was very impressed. Very friendly, and welcoming environment. honestly, chain Cafe establishments have nothing on this place. 10/10. I'll be back again. I also recommend the Blak Girl Magic.”

“Amazing food, mouth watering. The burgers and wings were so good, even the thunder over Louisville fries. Staff and chef was so friendly. Very cozy atmosphere. Will be back again 100%. 5 out of 5 !!!”
