Barbara Lee's Kitchen

Having missed breakfast at the hotel we were staying at, we had the best excuse to seek out something yummy and local. I highly recommend working this into you schedule if you're in Louisville or the surrounding area.

Really what sums our experience up is "YUMMY". I had the Mexican Breakfast, which was chilli and eggs (yummy, not everyone's cup of tea but I loved it). All of the food we saw served looked great, but by far my favorite bit was the biscuits... seriously people, take a day off your paleo or low carb diet the day you try Barbara Lee's.

We sat at the counter, which was a good move, we had a good giggle with the guys behind the counter and it's always my favorite thing about a diner that you can see your food being made fresh right in front of you with no pretension. It's just good down home cooking yummy.

Of course it's thanks to yelp that we found this place in the first place.... thanks again yelp.

I've been to Barbara Lee's twice now, and loved it both times. Nothing fancy, just good simple food... great breakfast food, and the burgers aren't bad either.
What I really liked about the place was the employees! They were great fun both times, good naturedly picking on each other, joking and having fun, without sacrificing good service! So in addition to a good classic "diner" meal, I also got free entertainment!

Cash is king for the jute box & to square up on the food. Great diner atmosphere with our late night order taken right from the galley kitchen as the cook leaned in to the booth to pour fresh brewed defcafe. When she had all her notes taken it was "thank-ya-Babe`" Barbara Lee's is a must to cap off that craving for bacon, syrup, onion hash browns, all before taking Cinderella home!
