“We come to Louisville once a year and ALWAYS make a reservation here! It is our favorite. We have been doing this for over 10 years and I am always excited to go here. My favorite is the Shrimp and Grits and other people have raved about the Pork Chop and steak. I do not think there is a bad choice here. I have never once not had a great meal! Our service has always been wonderful as well, yet this year it was lackluster. One time out of 10 is just a fluke this year i am sure.“

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

“Highly recommend this iconic place! We celebrated our anniversary last night and had a wonderful time. Great food and service! I had the chicken and my husband had the pork chops both delicious. The drinks were made well and our dessert was the flourless chocolate blood orange cake. The evening was perfect!“

“Tried this for the first time today and loved it! Just when I felt there were no new interesting spots in downtown Louisville, a friend recommends InSeason. Yes! Wonderfully flavored and very friendly service by all. They moved fast and kept the place hopping. Very clean, too! Love the farm to table options. We will be back!“

“We took our out of town guests yesterday. Our server Jessica was amazing! She really made our night! (If you are reading this Jessica, y’all/yins did a great job! Lol.) Everyone loved their cocktails. The pork chop was very tasty and perfectly cooked, loved the shrimp and grits… so flavorful! The salmon was also delicious! We had the cheese and hummus plate as a starter and I was not a fan. The hummus was gummy and had an odd flavor. The rest of our group didn’t mind it. I could have had the bruschetta as my meal… yum! For dessert we had the bread pudding and asked to have some bourbon to pour on top (so good!), the lava cake (wow) and the brûlée (coffee flavored and very nice). We were the last to leave and Jessica and the rest of the staff treated us if we had all the time in the world. We so appreciated that! Our experience was so special! Thank you!“

“Had lunch today and it was fantastic! Best smash burger around, I will request one pattie next time ,its a big burger but delicious 😋 Cam was our server and he was so sweet and prompt and made sure we had everything was good and we had everything we needed! 10/10“

“Food is excellent, the service is impeccable and the atmosphere is perfect for a special occasion. Love it here.“

“Brilliantly planned and conceived menu that featured high quality food that was creatively prepared. The portions were generous for a tasting menu. We really enjoyed that we were not at all rushed through our meal nor was there a long lag between courses. A truly memorable experience.“

“Never had anything that I didn’t love!“

“Absolutely amazing lunch in Louisville!! Very friendly and kind people! The food is all from scratch and locally grown. I’ll definitely be back!“

“💥 This place is not just amazing food, it's an fun experience. Thanks u for fast friendly service, hot fresh food that you should be very proud of!!! Husband and I came for lunch and ordered chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy, fried okra, toast and The Christi's patty melt side of cajun fries with fried mushrooms for appetizer. They nailed every single item (even the toast). I have high standards for southern down home cooking & this place is IT~ I may nominate it to food network for triple d 😉“

“Fast service. Food was amazing!! Try it!!“

“All I can say is wow. Been here twice in a week. The Shepherds Pie is insane good. The Scot egg, Mac & cheese, and beer cheese are all incredible. Great great food!!“

“I had an amazing experience at the Bourbon Tasting Academy! As a bourbon lover, this place is perfect as you wait for your flight.

A special shoutout to McKenna, who truly made the experience unforgettable. She suggested and crafted my very first bourbon Bloody Mary, and wow, I didn’t know bourbon could work so well in that format. It was bold, balanced, and honestly a game-changer. Her creativity and friendly energy elevated the whole experience.

The Bourbon Tasting Academy is a must. Come for the bourbon, stay for the people (and definitely say yes to McKenna’s recommendations!)“

“I first tried Barry’s Cheesesteaks four years ago when we moved to Louisville and am so glad I did. In all my travels, including Philadelphia, I’ve never had a cheesesteak than can begin to compare to Barry’s. The amount of meat and toppings used is double the amount you’d get anywhere else and the bread is always fresh. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. Barry’s is at the top of my list of restaurants to take all my out of town guests to. Barry’s story is so inspiring and I love the Christian atmosphere of his restaurant. 5 stars at every visit!“

“Bought me and my grandma a plate for thanksgiving. Mashed potatoes and gravy was amazing . Stuffing was great too. Turkey was also pretty great. My Mamaw loved it. Thank you Lindsay for helping me with thanksgiving dinner.“

“Amazing seafood, appetizers and desserts (bread pudding is phenomenal)! A must is having Samantha at Sam’s Food & Spirits as our server. Hands down the best food and service anywhere around! We are so glad we stumbled on this place. The manager Sam came and met us personally as well. The entire experience is worth the drive!“

“We both ordered Chicken Tenders, they came out a little cold at first but our sweet waitress took them back to the cook and brought them back out piping hot! Thank you, Olivia we are so happy you helped with this! Olivia was very attentive, was knowledgeable about the items on the menu (which is a plus), and made sure we were good throughout our visit! I cannot say enough how wonderful the Broccoli Cheese Casserole is! It’s basically the main reason we keep coming back here to eat!! The restaurant was very clean, organized and we were quickly sat at a booth. I highly recommend this restaurant, if you haven’t been there to eat yet you definitely need to go try it out!! When you get there, ask for Olivia the waitress and make sure you add the Broccoli Cheese Casserole to your food order!“

“Excellent service and the food and ambiance was great“

“great service, great prices, friendly“

“We used The Copper Room at Orange Clover for a baby shower for a first time momma to be. I just cannot find the words for how wonderful the experience was. First off, the staff, absolutely phenomenal. Every single person I talked to (I’m sorry I don’t remember names, my memory is lacking currently) was so sweet and helpful. I appreciate every single one of you. Second, the food was perfect and delicious. Third, the room itself was everything I hoped it would be and more. The team working helped us make everything absolutely perfect. I cannot imagine a better place to have an event-from the staff, the food, to the location and the service. Beyond grateful for you all! Thank you so so much! ☺️“

“Great food, even better owners and staff. Our favorite spot in the city hands down. Nothing more to say besides 10/10 across the board!“

“Amazing food with spectacular views!“

“Awesome stop for a custom whiskey flight. I hit the jackpot with expert bartender CC, who took my request for a custom whiskey flight as a challenge and knocked it out of the park with three choices setup in the perfect order. She knew the story behind each one and quickly looked up some additional details on her phone when she wasn't sure. The bar is clean and spacious and full of light. Whiskies are arranged by family for easy identification. She described a "Black Manhattan" that sounded delicious, but I'll have to try that next time. Proof on Main makes the perfect place to treat your taste buds while waiting for a distillery tour. Slainte!“

“Fun, clean, safe atmosphere! Great place to grab a bite with the kids and then a beer (or several) later on. TV set up is solid, great bar games (Pool, Golden Tee) and it has the #1 ranked burger in the city of louisville!“

“The owner and his staff are very friendly. The restaurant is really clean on the inside. The first time I ordered, I got a rib tip dinner with greens and Mac and cheese. The second time, I only ordered rib tips and one of the staff asked me did I want sides. I told them no because I had sides at home. I let them know that the Mac and cheese was not so great and the owner came out and apologized for that and gave me a free slice of cake to make up. I thought that was really nice of him. He told me that he appreciated my feedback. I still visit every weekend and I get rib tips, greens and potato salad now and a slice of cake but I gotta get it early before it sells out.“

“Always delicious and very clean restaurant with stellar service. Delicious sandwiches and breakfast.“

“We visit often happy hour is a must! Margaritas the best! Happy hour is great $6 margaritas Brunch is great! Dinner is fabulous every single time Thank you naive family!“

“Tonight was our first time trying Jaggers and we will be back. Great burgers and chicken sandwiches! Awesome customer service and very friendly staff.“

“I absolutely love this place. Great people. Great music. Great drinks. Awesome atmosphere and the staff is incredible. Love Travis and Savannah and Zoey. Great place for fun and friends. Love it.“

“Great environment, food is made to order. It will in fact take 20 minutes plus if not more depending on how busy they are. You for sure will wait a pretty penny after ordering your food BUT EVERYTHING WILL BE HOT & FRESH NOOO QUESTIONS ASKED.
I Like that they open your box or each boxed from your order to show you your food before they bag it and hand it off to you.
Plenty on seating. Plenty of parking. One single unisex restroom. There is wheelchair access.
Everything on their menu is not online so it is more realistic to call in your order or come inside instead of calling to add or make substitutions.
Easy to talk to very patient.
I love getting food from here this is like the church soul food that you make sure you have a ToGo plate from.
I order the wing and chicken breast dinner with two sides ( Yams & Greens ) I add Cornbread and a small cabbage (the menu doesn't saying there is sausage cooked and mixed with the cabbage) with pork sausage.
Their Ribs Are Pork.
They do have spaghetti for a side that is freaking delicious as well!
Once you get close to the address slow down because the entrance/exit is kind of hidden.“

“Jocari is awesome. Best Philly cheese steak around. Been eating at his stand for a couple years now every weekend.“

“They are a convenience store, they also sell chicken meal. At least there's not a lot of people hanging around it front or in the facility. It's a am Indian family owned business, they have vapes, cigarettes, lottery, chicken, and convenient snack food... Nothing healthy though fyi“

“This is in my neighborhood, but I don't go here too often. I had lunch today. Sorry, I forgot to snap a picture. Order the Breakfast Burger with confidence! It's a burger with bacon, an egg, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo! And it's delicious. The server Tony was fantastic. I'll be back sooner than later.“

“you want home cooking this is the place! food is always hot and delicious 😋“

“Wha an amazing place! The drinks are amazing, the food is incredible, and the service is some of the best we’ve ever had. We will for sure be coming back each time we are in town. Highly recommended!!!“

“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!“
