“A quiet and relaxing gem a feel of a speakeasy with the Kentucky flair. Good drinks + great food.“

“I highly recommend this place. Best food we had i. The week we spent in Louisville. The Merle’s Melt was fabulous as were the garlic Parmesan fries and candied maple bacon.“

“Wonderful experience every time I eat at Louisville Smokers. The Pit Master Chills attention to detail and Authentic smoke flavored and perfectly seasoned Meats are the best in Louisville KY. I highly recommend this place“

“Dined here in early July. The food is to die for (especially a curry-style dish on the menu when we visited), the service is excellent (and not too hurried), and the ambiance is charming. The bread is also out of this world. The wine pairings also nicely complement the food, and the desserts are definitely worth having (especially the drunken banana cake). It is one of the nicest special occasion restaurants in Louisville. One caveat of interest to certain diners is the restaurants lax policy on pets. When we dined there, another table came in with a small dog. It wasn't a service or support dog because the diners kept passing it around the table, and even that table's server petted it. The dog's presence didn't bother us (it was well-behaved and quiet), but I could see some diners not enjoying dinner with a dog at the next table.“

“They are fast, friendly and the food is fantastic!“

“Rib tip dinner was great! Had the sweet & spicy chili sauce and came with two sides and a roll. I got greens, baked beans, and added a side of the fried taters and onions. All of it hit the spot with a ginger ale to wash it down. Very nice people inside. Great little neighborhood eatery I recommend.“

“We loved the friendly service, great food and quick food delivery. We had the chicken biscuit with gravy and omelet plus bloody marys and coffee. Thank you- we will return!!“

“great food and fantastic service“

“Our server, Abby, was terrific. Our bartender, Mike, is best in class and makes perfect recommendations. The chef, Jeremy, makes the best shrimp and grits I've had. Everyone there is incredibly friendly. Jeremy talked with us after the kitchen closed and was really charming. If you live in or visit Louisville and don't eat here, you're missing something special.“

“The Fat Lamb was fantastic in every way. It was a true culinary delight. We had a large group, so we were able to sample multiple appetizers and entrees. They were all fantastic. Some highlights included the whipped feta dip, truffle fries, cauliflower, and meatballs for appetizers. For entrees, more than half of our group had the lamb chops. The lamb chops were sensational - the best lamb dish I've ever had and one of the top 10 dishes of my life. The service was great as well. The restaurant is not inexpensive, but it is well worth the money. Thank you for a wonderful evening we will remember.“

“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.“

“This restaurant is inside Hyatt Regency Downtown....I ordered a pork chop, carrots and mashed potatoes. The pork chop was delicious and the carrots were good but they were purple in color. You can always get a table either outside or in the restaurant.
Sorry, I didn't think about taking a pic.“

“Amazing food and great service!“

“We always are served well at The River House. We had the November special dinner and it was perfectly prepared. Nice steak, beautiful lobster tail and potatoes and asparagus were almost more than I could eat. But the salad and dessert were the perfect way to start and end my meal. My husband tried the scallops and shrimp pasta and it was all he was hoping for. We love dining at the River House because it always makes our special celebrations 100times better.“

“Brisket was wonderful and staff were very friendly.“

“Very good food! We will be back.“

“We loooooove the Silver Dollar!! We're so happy that our favorite neighborhood restaurant has reopened. We are looking forward to trying all of their new menu items. My dog & I enjoy sitting out back on their cute patio & my son is addicted to the Chicken & Waffles. I'd highly recommend Silver Dollar to anyone who wants to refine their bourbon palate. We've been indulging in the $40 bourbon flight specials on Wednesdays. All the Silver Dollar bartenders are very demure, very mindful especially Jay! We loooooove Whiskey by the Drink“

“Thoroughly enjoyed everything about the restaurant. Food was delicious, staffs hospitality and their service was excellent and cleanliness, taste and items selection was great including the price. I personally had ordered chicken fry and shrimp beer batter fry, it was a great choice. We enjoyed our time and enjoyed our meals there. 4 stars is high bar for my rating so don't worry, between 4-5 to me is there is always a room for restaurants to improve in any area and I'm sure Cheddar's is always striving to offer best to its loyal customers. Regardless, everything was great.“

“Great food and service. Excellent value.“

“Great little spot for soul food. Only drawback is they have an early close of 7pm, and since it's cafeteria style serving, most of the popular items run out quick. Pricing is very favorable for what you get. Great for a quick bite that fills you up!“

“This was my first time eating at Eggs Over Frankfort and the food was delicious. Jessie was our amazing waitress. She is hilarious and a beautiful human who made our experience fun and memorable.“

“I stopped in after going to my veterinarian in Shively. The salmon croquettes were perfect! Greens, pinto beans and delicious corn bread too. I peeked into the dining room and plan to eat in next time. Big Hopps served me my first taste of sweet potato casserole back when they were located near the Glassworks building. This place is a real gem.“

“We had a fantastic experience at Nic & Norman’s! Our waitress, Z, was absolutely wonderful—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The food was just as great. The meatloaf was flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the classic burger was delicious and juicy. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area! We’ll definitely be back.“

“The table next to us, one of the women was extremely loud & cursing. Too bad I was out trying to have a nice lunch with my sister & Mom. Also, I was freezing as the fans were whirling away. I had to keep my jacket on the whole time. If I go back, I will definitely ask to be seated where there aren't any fans on (it's November) lol.“

“I order online delivery about once monthly. Food always hot and order is complete. No surprises. Tasty food.“
