What a great find. 24 hour diner that rocks late night. The line was out the door but moving fast at 1am. It was about a 30 minute wait from order to table. Great people watching, security on site. A chill spot. They know what they are doing. Friend person taking your order backed up with a hard working crew. I saw them working together like a fine machine. It's not their first time. We asked them to cut our burger in half and I heard them say "I don't think I've ever cut a burger in half before." The burger was juicy, flavorful and hit the spot. The rings were crunchy and hot! Love this place.

24 hours! Amazing late night spot. Burger were good and loaded with the veggies. The fries were the star of the show very well seasoned! The vibes were very cute with vintage signs and furniture. We went at 2:30am and the staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean. If the burgers came with fries or the burgers themselves were a bit cheaper I would have given a 4 star review. But overall it really satisfied my late night burger craving.

Philly cheesesteak

Listen, is Burger Boy gourmet? And always consistent? No. Is Burger Boy there for you when you need it most? Yes. Open (almost) all the time... this late night spots provides us locals with the good ol' diner food you need during or after a late-night. The vibes are very retro and low-key. The staff are mostly super young and just making a buck, but usually helpful and efficient. I personally really like their Philly cheesesteak. Good amount of cheese, greasy but in an acceptable way. I have also had their ruben... it was really difficult to eat and fell apart in my hands. I'd skip that one. Overall, it's a local staple. I'm not mad at it.

Burger Boy is your classic dinner- open 24/7 and always serving breakfast. I've ate here a few times and often get breakfast or a burger. Today I was in the mood for chicken tenders and the awesome fries! My lunch mate got the breakfast wrap and really enjoy it. This is a classic if you like dinner food, need a late night bite!

Fun, 24/7 burger restaurant. Fast food with seating available. Obviously a fan favorite with local college students. I'm glad I got to check it out. My burger and fries were delicious! There was a wait though and a line most of our time there, even though it was nearing midnight. Popular place! Also liked the greasy spoon atmosphere with local pennants and political bumper stickers.

Chili Cheese Fries

This place isn't it. The place was packed but the line wasn't that long. After waiting 20 minutes and a couple ahead of me before I can order, the cashier announces that they're aren't taking anymore orders and that they'll be cleaning up and service will start again when third shift shows up. Crappy customer service by the way. Anyway, after waiting another 10 minutes, a few people from third shift shows up and start handing out orders that have been sitting. After another 15 minutes, they begin taking orders again....i ordered the old Louisville burger with chili cheese for fries. $25! No drink by the way. Tipped 5 to make it an even $30. I said eff, it, I got to see what the hype is about. I waited another 33 minutes for my food! When I tell you this food was surely not worth the wait, please believe me! Not only are they overpriced, the food is subpar. I truly don't get the appeal of this place or why it was packed. Maybe it's a local thing but if you're from out of town, stay clear.

The Burger Boy Combo

This burger was exactly what I was looking for, small local, located in old Louisville, delicious seasoned fries and at a hole in the wall restaurant. I will be going back to try more. Super nice and pleasant service

Normally they don't have any wives there but on 8/15, 3 of us that have never eaten there decided that Saturday instead of eating at a local fast food restaurant, the 3 of us would like to slip in and eat in Metro's dining room and have an awesome breakfast. The food was so good. Then this last Saturday the other 2 ladies couldn't come, so I ate in the Dining room and the men ate on the porch. I had a great time. The food I ate both times was the Bacon, Eggs and Cheese Croissant. It was delicious. They also have wonderful unsweet tea. It was a bit noisy with everyone talking, but it was a very happy place. I have made a list of the servers that took care of me each time. I wanted to compliment them: Rhonda H(9/19)Robyn/1 person Carissa C (8/15)Robyn /3 people This is a different kind of review, but it was a great time. Both times the food was just so good and Rhonda and Carissa were there very frequently and made us feel so welcomed. Also the hostess made us feel right at home! I didn't get her name, but she made me feel so comfortable. I can describe her by saying she had on knee braces on both legs. Thank you, Robyn Ł

Came by for dinner with a friend! It's open 24/7 and they serve breakfast all day…read more Had to go for the burger of course! $15 for the combo which comes with fries and a drink. The burger was nice and juicy. Couldn't taste the special sauce. Would love more of it on there. Fries were crispy and had a nice seasoning. My friend ordered the same thing and later on wanted something sweet, so he got a milkshake. Not bad! Service was quick. One server. He was very personable and funny. Made conversation with customers and didn't seem rushed/stressed. There are two rooms with tables but people kept coming in and out. It got busy ish but not slammed. Some were in groups and some came alone. Also saw a few folks do take out orders. Honestly, I would love to come back! The breakfast looked good. Parking lot was a little strange. A few spots in front. And the entrances are not super noticeable (at least for me they weren't!).

I paid $17.91 for a burger and fries. The fries were $4 extra, and when I opened the box, I laughed…read moreand took a photo, because are you kidding me? I don't expect an entire separate box of fries, but more than 10 would be nice- especially for $4! They were sure to tack on a $1 service charge as well, even though I was picking the food up. Burger Girl used to be a Louisville classic, but lately that's come to mean less "don't skip this if your life depends on it" and more "renowned for their awful food." As time goes on, I am honestly becoming more and more disappointed with Burger Girl. The point of a greasy spoon is to be cheap, quick, and filling, and Burger Girl misses on all of those fronts. For their prices I could go to a nicer restaurant with better food and a better experience. Honestly, as inflation continues to soar and quality continues to plummet, I find myself asking why I even bother going out, when I know I'll just be disappointed in the end. This might be the last straw for me, at least when it comes to Burger Girl. It just doesn't feel worth it anymore.

I am so torn here. The food was like food my grandmother would make, which I really appreciate…read morebeing able to eat since she's passed on. It was not the best food in the world but the food here tastes like home to me. Just really well seasoned and old school. Now here's my issue. This establishment had me wait almost 90 minutes on a 92 degree day (WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD) for two meals. They had already taken my money, otherwise I would have booked it. Here's what I ate: 1. Fried Pork Chop with mashed potaotes (they were out of potato salad) and greens, gravy on the side 2. Ribs with macaroni and cheese and Pinto Beans I also got a blackberry cobbler. I checked in after 30 minutes and they weren't sympathetic. I looked at these reviews later and saw that someone said the customer service at this establishment was hilarious and they were not kidding. Here's how everything tasted: Pork Chop: very flavorful, glad I got fried and not smothered for texture reasons Mashed potatoes: good and real, but nothing to write home about Ribs: They were okay. tender. tasted like they were boiled and that's not my preference...they were also swimming in sauce. I feel like ribs should be able to stand up without the sauce and I was not sure this could happen here. The bbq sauce is part of the dish for them. Greens: overly salted, underseasoned...they needed to be eaten by the pinto beans Pinto beans: absolutely no salt--would not order again Macaroni and cheese: this is the creamy kind, not the baked kind (not my preference. Gravy: excellent Blackberry Cobbler: FIVE STARS. Delicious, buttery, so tasty. I went home and tried to make one. Seriously: no notes here. It is a must try. Charging 2 dollars for a cup of kool-aid is insane. with this kind of customer services, it would be nice if they threw that sugar water in for free. I skipped it, but just thought I would mention if you plan on trying to have some for nostalgic reasons. I haven't had any in about 30 years and I was planning on it but not when I saw the price tag. I live in Illinois, but if I ever do visit again I will call my order in, go sight seeing and then pick up my food. Don't bring your kids to this establishment unless they have confirmed your order is ready!

It's been a while since we visited Silver Dollar, I'm talking old ownership, pre-Covid long time…read moreago. And let me tell you, it's obvious there's new ownership, new style, new menu and all for the better. The decor was giving a Bakersfield California vibe right in Louisville Kentucky. Visually appealing, honky Tonk with a small splash of humor. The day we went, was a sunny spring, I preferred indoor - we were sat at a super spacious booth. Menu is one page but they absolutely nailed it. He ordered a Hemingway. It came in a beautiful copper coupe with a dehydrated orange slice. Classy, cool with a kick. We started with the Mexican Hot Cheese dip. It's not your typical queso -- this had chilis, onions, garlic, jalapeños as toppings and it was delicious. It was accompanied by house made chips. The cheese though... Hubs had fried catfish with the Nashville Hot option and I had a Caesar salad with fried chicken. Fried Nashville hot catfish verdict - Very good, very spicy, very crispy. Caesar with chicken...I stole a crouton off the top, "that garlic crouton was amazing, I could eat those like a snack." The salad itself was divine. The dressing is light, you can taste the green chilis without the spicy kick. I could eat this salad every day! Of course we had to try the Mexican crème brûlée. Super creamy, chocolatey with spice custard with a delicate brûlée sugar on top, garnished with fresh strawberries. Same restaurant, new flavors better service, awesome experience.

First off - I love this local gem, and I think it was just an odd/off night. It started with a scary trip to the ladies room, and it was just a mess. The first part of our evening (meeting friends) was great. Cocktails were tasty and the music was vibing. Fried pickles were AWESOME. At one point, the bartender changed the record and it became crazy loud - we literally couldn't hear the person 2 feet away speaking. A member of our party got up and asked the bartender if he could turn it down (asked politely), and was ignored. Literally ignored - bartender looked at my friend and the just walked away (and not to turn down the music). Next cocktail was AWFUL... food came out, and it was hot but nothing great; fries were oily. Churros were tough and overcooked as well. Our server (a younger woman) was attentive and friendly, and that was the highlight of our visit. She did turn down the music when we asked (and after another table I believe also asked). It wasn't a busy night, and I love the vinyl vibe and cool venue - we will come back and try again, but when 3 cocktails, an appetizer, and entree cost close to $100 before tip (for 2 - our friends were the same, so $200 for a table), you really need to be on point and provide solid service.

Since we went on a night with an activity, there was a bit of a festive atmosphere and patrons were likely all hanging around for a couple of hours.

Parking can sometimes be a pain, but there is free street parking when parking lot is full.
