Craighton M.

The Brass Social at the top of Blankenbaker Dr (i.e. Electron Dr) is a welcome stop in Middletown KY which is sorely devoid of great restaurants. They host an array of burgers with a myriad of toppings and sides; best of which is the mac n' cheese. I should know, I'm a connoisseur (ahem). There is also a variety of craft bears at 4.00.each But if you imbibe ignore visiting the gun range next door. Shoot first and eat/drink later. Restaurant is easy to get to with plenty of tables inside and out with ample parking. Did I mention the cheap draft bears?

We stopped here for an early supper and were very happy we did. They have a nice draft selection of craft beers and happy hour had them at 4 bucks each. We ordered the pretzel bites to get started and then I went with a mushroom and Swiss smash burger while my wife had a chicken and rice entree. Both were very good. They have a nice burger, selection, but they're all smash burgers. If you love smash burgers, then you'll love this place. If you prefer a big thick burger, then this probably isn't for you. They did also have several other entrée options, other than burgers. Most of their items ran from about 17 up to $20ish for an entrée. The atmosphere was very clean and comfortable casual. We also had great service and a personable waitress. All in all I would highly recommend.

My cousin wanted a burger and not just any... "I want juicy, juice dripping from the side of my mouth with crisp lettuce that crunches with each bite, cheese with a salty finish..." So with that, I was on search for a high quality burger that would satisfy the most sophisticated palette for my fam. On a Yelp search, Brass Social was the most favorable option. There was ample parking in the lot Brass Social sat on. We were fortunate to find a spot in front of the entrance. The inside of Brass Social was informal with high ceilings, spacious interior and ample seating to provide privacy between seating. There are seats at the bar to the left of entering, the shooting range is to far back right of the entrance (Yes! You can eat then shoot) and wood tables of different length and sizes with wood chairs and metal details. Their esthetic is industrial. Menus are paper. Service was exceptional. Our waiter was friendly, checked in on us a few times and provided us privacy to enjoy our meals and each other. The women's restroom was bright, spacious, clean and had at least six stalls for everyone in the party to go without wait. The hand towel dispenser was empty and upon telling staff it was immediately refilled. Exceptional! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and meals. The veggies were exceptional. They were so good each one of us couldn't stop complimenting its flavor. Those veggies are insanely delicious! Perfectly cooked. The burgers were more flavorful and juicier than expected and exactly what my cousins were in search for. My salmon was juicy, flaky, seasoned nicely while still enjoying the taste of the salmon itself. Basically, regardless of your selection you will not be disappointed. If I lived closer to some of my fam I would enjoy Brass Social's meals and shooting range. I did not get the opportunity this visit, maybe in a few months we'll see. Overall, I enjoyed the environment, service, food, and time spent and I'm grateful we found a location to satisfy all our preferences.

This was a pleasant surprise. This is a well kept secret and a hidden gem. This is really good bar food with even better service. I had one of the burgers and the buffalo chicken dip. They were both a step above your typical bar food and super tasty. Id in the area again, I would definitely return.

Signature Burger

I got the Signature Social burger and it was unbelievably good. One of the best burgers in the city, seriously. The fries were fine. Not incredible, definitely not bad. My parents got the So Lou Chicken which also was delicious and essentially meal prep, high protein. Will absolutely be coming back.

Greeted warmly upon entering. Nice sized place with a full service bar in the middle of a business center. I ordered a Blue & Blackened Burger with Fries. Let me tell you, it was fantastic!! The fries were crispy and good flavor and the burger was outstanding! This will become a regular spot since my dealership just opened around the corner.

We stopped by for some light snacks after the shooting range before heading home for dinner and ordered mostly appetizers. Most of us tried the garlic shrimp, and while the staff mentioned the shrimp delivery was smaller than usual, we still went ahead, and honestly, it was tasty and well-prepared. That said, at $16 for an appetizer (without fries included), it feels like it should really be considered a meal. I also hope the bread could be served in a slightly thicker cut to make it more satisfying.

Brass Social- A Damn Fine Birger Worth Talking About! Don't be fooled by its location in a business complex. The Brass social creates one the best burgers in all of Louisville, IMO. I personally loved the Signature Social burger. It's a beautiful sweet mess, dripping with what can only be described as liquid gold- a savory, decadent elixir that soaks the bun and coats your fingers in the best possible. Locally sourced beef, an attentive chef, tasty drinks, and great customer service makes this place the spot to check out. It's still in its infancy phase however I'd put money on this place a soon becoming a the place everyone in Louisville comes for a great burger. I highly recommend ordering the 1911 cocktail. You can thank me later.

Brass social and next level gun range out front .

Hidden in an industrial looking area of j-town you'll find an unassuming burger spot "brass social" it's clean with simple decor, paintings on the walls inspired by the adjacent gun range and shop. The food is strong. All of the meats are locally raised, quality ingredients inside. The Smash Burgers are killer .. no pun intended. My favorite burger is the Hermano Americano. The fries remind me of an upscale long John's silvers fries like they've been lightly dredged in flour or something to that effect. The smoked wings are tasty and with nice smoked flavor and choice of bbq sauce. definitely worth a trip and certainly a hidden Gem. the only time you hear gun fire is when you visit the restrooms... this is a unique and novel experience.

Sorry it's sideways! The Better Bourbon Bureau is my favorite Old Fashioned in Louisville!

This is one of my favorite new spots in the city - it has become a staple in my lunch rotation. Middletown is an affluent area that seems to have the best of everything, but let me tell you - their food scene inexplicably sucks! Brass Social has been such a refreshing addition there, like the thaw of ice in springtime. In particular, their namesake burger might be Louisville's best - and I've tried almost all of them. You can actually taste each individual component of the burger, which is a strange but poignant compliment rendered by my friend, Nate. They also make my favorite Old Fashioned in the city. This place just understands flavors and balance and does everything at an above average standard. The one deficiency is that the service here hasn't been very good over the course of my 8-10 visits. You'll often wait a while... or have to re-ask for things several times. And the atmosphere feels more like a small, impersonal cafeteria. But the food is so good I don't care! A funny note: Brass Social is attached to a gun range. If you drink any alcohol here, they'll scan your license and you won't be permitted to shoot firearms next door immediately after. So do your boozing elsewhere before you visit the gun range. Kidding. But do try Brass Social!

The food was decent. The burgers and tater tots were tasty. The restaurant was a bit small. It was an extension of the gun store and range.

The B&B is -phenomenal-, and if you're in Louisville, you have to stop in and try it. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't. The fries are a great grab with the burger, but the brussels were also so so killer. The space was super cool, too. The staff was friendly + welcoming. The Smørk cookie was featured while we were in, and it was DELICIOUS. If it's still there, grab one. You won't regret it.

I had no idea the veggie burger was the one featured on the show, so as a vegetarian, I was especially excited to try it. I swapped the veggie patty onto the Mushroom & Swiss burger, and it was hands down the best veggie burger I've had in the decade I've been vegetarian. Our group all ordered different burgers, along with the fries and Brussels sprouts, and every single plate was a hit. They have super unique sauces to try as well, I am not a huge pickle fan but the dill pickle hot sauce was my personal favorite. I also recommend grabbing a brown butter toffee cookie on your way out. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere with great music, colorful murals, a lively bar area, and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives playing on the TVs, which was a nice touch. It's also located in a cute part of downtown Louisville that's worth exploring. The service matched the food. Everyone was welcoming, happy to answer our questions, and made sure we had everything we needed. This will definitely be on my list for a return visit the next time I'm in Louisville.

I've been here several times, and I can definitely see myself coming back again…read more The prices are very reasonable, and I really like the healthier side options they offer. Instead of the usual fries, you can choose from a salad, fruit cup, edamame, and other fresh sides, which is a nice change. My friend ordered the mushroom and cheese burger, and it was packed with mushrooms and melted cheese in every bite. I had the crispy chicken sandwich, and it was perfectly crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Drink refills are free, which is always appreciated. The only small inconvenience is that you have to ask an employee for a refill since the drink station isn't easily accessible. It would be even more convenient if the drink machine were located in an area where customers could refill their own drinks. Overall, the food, value, and service make this an easy 5-star experience. I'll definitely be back!

I love Jaggers. I likely get their Crispy Chicken salad at least once a week. The greens are crisp,…read morethe croutons crunchy, and the chicken is flavorful with a bit of that black better spice. I highly recommend the honey mustard, but they have other sauces, including ranch and Jaggers sauce. For awareness, you'll get two containers of sauce, so extra sauce means three or more containers. I almost always use the mobile app to make an order, but the one time I ordered for takeout at the counter, it took less than two minutes for my salad to be ready, bagged, and on the counter. There is drive thru where a person with an ordering pad will take your order before you go around to the collection window. I warn you, there is always a long line for pickup so ordering ahead for takeout or going inside to order may be quicker.

The place was empty but the bartender was a good guide. His bartender patter had a rhythmic cadence as he extolled the virtues of their fare offerings. I went with the Death Penalty to chase a little heat, although the name is more menacing than the bit. This isn't a mouth scorching, heartburn inducing culinary dare, but quite simply a perfectly delivered burger with toppings that work well together to deliver a robust flavor with a nice touch of heat. Being my first time in Kentucky I asked for a recommendation for a nice shot of bourbon to sip while I waited for my meal, with the caveats that I'd like for it to be from a lesser known, small distiller and under $25 for the drink. He delivered with a shot of Minor Case Straight Rye Whiskey that has a sherry cask finish from Limestone Branch Distillery. It was smooth with no bite and a nice linger. Three solid hits between the burger, bourbon and bartender - would definitely recommend.

We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.
