There are a few things in life that can compare to the wings at Rumor's. These are hands down the best wings I have ever eaten, and nothing in Louisville can really compare. In addition, the fried pickles are among the best I have eaten.
The staff is super friendly, they are all very upbeat and very talkative. My glass has never been empty before I received an refill. The only gripe I would have is that since it is "seat yourself" sometime it can take a little for a server to come find you especially if it's busy and you are in a small ground.
The prices are a little better than average. Pretty fair overall. I am never surprised with some ridiculous price once the check comes.
I will always come back to this place whenever I come back to visit in town. I would suggest this place to anyone, especially if you're looking for some good wings.
I was in Louisville visiting my parents. We were all out front talking to neighbors one day and they told us if we like wings to give Rumors a try. And since I LOVE wings, we did. That night.
I was unaware that Rumors was also a seafood restaurant so this review is based solely on my experience with the wings.
From the start I was impressed with the layout of the tables. There were people waiting in the small entrance which usually signifies a decent place to eat. When we were seated, I was extremely impressed that our table wasn't butted up against others. They could have easily fit 5 more tables in the room we were in but had not.
I ordered the wings, HOT and sloppy. The neighbor said to order them sloppy and I wouldn't be disappointed. So I did. It cost less than a dollar more and the wings come drenched in sauce. One of my favorite things to do is dunk my fries into the extra sauce, so this was a welcomed mess. The fries were just ok, but they give you a boat load.
In the end, I thought the wings were outstanding and you should give them a try. A very nice tangy sensation, that great feeling that gets your mouth watering before you even taste the wing. You know what I'm talking about!
PS: The neighbors later said that they like the oysters when going to Rumors. So you might try them if you like oysters!
I would call this a seafood restaurant for people who don't like seafood. I got the Shrimp Scampi Linguini, which was basically shrimp thrown on some noodles with some cheese and parsley. The noodles had no flavor and were drowning in water and oil. The bread was over salted and dusted with pizzeria parm (classy)! This place is supposed to be like one of those dives near the ocean that has great fresh seafood. The problem is that it isn't anywhere near the ocean. My girlfriend got salmon that was overcooked and although had a nice mesquite flavor was missing the fish flavor and could have even just been chicken.
The problem with a seafood place like this is that it really can't be that good without charging a little more or being near the ocean. Â I just hope some reviewers will respect themselves more and not pay for lazily cooked and flavorless seafood. And please remember that seafood is supposed to be enhanced by spice and not overcome by it.
What do you do when you are stuck in Middletown for lunch and craving some seafood? You go to Rumors, of course.
Oysters: Steamed, Raw or Rockefeller...they are Mmmm...mmm...good.
Grouper: Get it fried, get it grilled. Either way, your mouth should smile after one bite and frown when it is all gone.
Wings: Sure...they're OK, I guess. I mean they're wings. Who doesn't have good wings these days?
The atmosphere is what I call "Hooters without the cleavage".
Service was slow. Arrived at 12, placed order at 12:10, food arrived at 12:45. But I was in a party of 18. Waitresses were great but overworked.
If that was the end of the story, they would get four stars, but it isn't: the grilled salmon was overdone to the point of rubbery. The salad was best described as a bowl of lettuce garnished with tomato and paper-thin slices of carrot. Since my time was limited I did not see the point of complaining. Needless to say I will not be returning.
For the price, it's unusually good. Almost a hole-in-the-wall place. I get he grouper every time and it's always awesome. The house salad is great and it's so crisp every time. Â It's almost strange how good the salad is. Wings are the best in town but be careful if going with heat and sloppy. Â I hear the oysters are always good as well. Â Better than average and is almost always good. Have no fear here. One of my fav's in town.
Review Source:Another place close to where I work that serves some really good fish and seafood. Â Rumors isn't fine dining but I haven't had anything bad yet. Â The buffalo shrimp are huge, slightly spicy and delicious. Â The crab salad wrap and fish sandwich are my two staples. Â I know Louisville isn't by the water but I took a gamble with their oysters and would gladly do it again. Â
There's a fully stocked bar if you're into that kind of thing and not on the clock. Â Pat Day is apparently a regular but I was honestly more interest in my sandwich and the game of cards I was playing with a friend. Â
If you can find a better fish sandwich for the price, let me know.
