First stop on the "Tour de Classic Louisville Establishments with My Ballin' Uncle, Former Dairy Kastle Owner." (If you are familiar with Dairy Kastle and the longstanding history of his place on Eastern Parkway, you can imagine my excitement when he volunteered to show me his all-time favorite places in Louisville for food and drinks.)
Anywho, long introduction aside, this place was perfect for dinner for our group of six. We ate on the covered patio, complete with cozy heaters, on a very chilly night to enjoy the view of the river. Ambiance was great for our lively, chatty group on a late evening.. but probably not the best spot for quiet reflection or romancin'.
My uncle says their best menu item is the fish sandwich, hands-down. But I'm a rebel and went for the whitefish. Very happy with my choice, and had enough food for lunch the next day too (and I rarely do not finish my plate.) Everyone in our party was satisfied, particularly those that opted for the fish sandwich that was suggested. Good food and large portions. My only complaint - The fries were kind of bland.
And wouldn't ya know it, they have bunches of TVs around the bar... and if you've read any of my reviews, you know I'm always on the lookout for a good sports bar. Big bonus.
Asked for a Reuben and requested fries in place of the potato chips (which are a cop out as a side item). Â I was shocked to see that I was charged the full price for the fries and said to the waitress that every place I've ever been to only charges $.60 - $1.00 to substitute for fries, and if she's going to charge full price I should've received my chips too. Â She said, "oh, that makes sense, but our owner's a cheapskate." Â 'Nuff said.
I have a problem paying almost $10 for a handful of fries and a Reuben the size of a PB&J made at home - I had grown to like this place because of the quality and quantity, and the friendly neighborhood feel, but that has changed. Â
Two stars, only because the corned beef on the Reuben was good.
Been here a few times, so I must like something about this waterside restaurant. The menu has a good mix of food and the prices are right. Their club sandwich is traditional, but exceptional. Soups are very good. Have not tried many menu items yet, but visually, as serves bring by other diners lunch or dinner, most things look tasty.
There is a neighborhood feel about the restaurant. Seem like a friendly place.
Will go back, but mostly for lunch or for a get together with friends.
This was a tough one. 3 stars. 4 stars. So let's break it down.
It is out there, but a really pretty drive. We road on the back of some Harleys. It was one of those randomly awesome weekends in Louisville. For that matter this last year has been one extended randomly awesome weekend. I digress.
Scenery: Win
Atmosphere inside: Neutral
The eggs, grits, standard breakfast stuff: Loss (pretty much equated to the powder stuff you get at a cheap hotel)
Hot Brown Casserole: What a win. This almost gave it that 4th star. But it is too heavy to have more than a little bit of, and the other stuff didn't hold their end of the bargain
Definitely worth checking out. Won't be my go to for brunch, but man that casserole. You gotta try it. Maybe just get one order of it and some fruit for the table to share instead of paying the 15ish bucks for the buffet. Geez, I know it'll kill me quicker, but I'll take my chances.
