I've eaten in restaurants for over 50 years and have never had to ask this question: "May I have a plate?" I came in, sat down at counter and ordered a shake and a cheeseburger. Shake / delicious. Burger and fries came in a styraphome clamshell. umm - I'm sitting g right here. "May I have a plate?" Was looked at like I had two heads. read more

Woke up starving and straight-up over it. I'm talking full meltdown -- I cannot do another bite of that processed garbage from the big chains. You know the ones: bright lights, sad patties, and a side of "why did I do this to myself?" Google Maps saves the day again like a total legend. Types in "real food near me" and boom! Burger Boy Diner in Louisville pops up. Oh boy. OH BOY. This place did NOT disappoint Walk in and the staff are immediately nice -- like, actually friendly, not the fake "how are you today" robot voice. Felt like I'd known them for years. Then the food hits the table and I'm legit emotional. Crispy bacon that snaps when you bite it, perfect eggs, and those hash browns -- crispy golden edges, fluffy inside, absolute perfection. Real breakfast done right, man. The kind your mum would make on a lazy morning, but way better because someone else cooked it and you didn't have to wash a single dish. And it came out stupid fast. I swear I sat down, blinked twice, and my plate was staring at me like "sup bro, eat me." This spot is such a hidden gem it should be in witness protection. Locals were packed in there like it was the coolest underground club in town everyone chatting, laughing, smashing plates of breakfast. I felt like the new kid who accidentally found the best table in the cafeteria. If you're in Louisville and sick of the corporate clown food, do yourself a favor and go to Burger Boy right now. 10/10, will be back tomorrow for round two. Boy oh boy, I'm in love. read more

Burger Boy Diner - Diners Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

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. read more

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. read more

Burger Boy Diner - Philly cheesesteak - Diners Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

I went in during lunch and had a Philly with fries. The meal was delicious and my server was very nice and attentive.

Not good, especially compared to their sister restaurant, Burger Girl (which is fantastic). We went there around 11 PM St. Patrick's Day weekend and the burgers were overcooked. The fries were pretty good still. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food was excellent, fries and burgers cooked perfect to order. Our server Peyton was phenomenal, super kind, and helpful helping us to decide our order. It gives major college town burger joint vibes that bring back old memories. Definitely a must visit in Louisville! read more

We walked in and they told us to take a seat, so we did, and then we waited 15 minutes and no one ever came, so we walked out! Very disappointed because the food looks so good! read more

They were out of literally everything. Drinks, fries, and literally even change. The waitress literally did not have a clue in the world what she was doing and I had no real intention of tipping her more than $2 on top of my $15 check. I paid with a $20 bill and she ended up getting a $5 top because, again, they were out of change. The food was good though. But the service sucked and don't go here if you plan on paying with cash, eating fries, drinking a dr. pepper, or plan on having a good time. read more

I had an amazing time here at Burger Boy Diner. The food was just super tasty and very fresh. The service was very polite and respectful. The ambiance was chill and pleasant. 5 stars. read more

Burger boy slogan is if you're up we're open, I woke up at 4:00 a.m. I waited till about 6:30 to go get something to eat. When I got here they told me that they were closed and weren't taking orders. However, they were still cooking orders right in front of me. They just didn't want to take my order read more

Typical greasy spoon. Not your typical omelette but it worked. Seemed slow business wise for a Sunday afternoon but is prob just a local spot. read more

Burger Boy Diner - Menu as of 12/08/24 - Diners Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Made a point to go by this diner after coming across it in a Yelp search and support of local. My first impression was "CLEAN" and that it might be a neighborhood cliche. Not many employees are needed for this timeless diner but they were both very welcoming. Just a few customers at 8:00 a.m. on a Friday. Menus are at the register which tells me you might order/pay there all at once. My order was "to-go". BYO wrap of sausage, eggs, and American cheese in a slightly grilled white tortilla. Since the cooking is done in plain view, I watched the sausage and eggs cooked to order and there was no skimping on the cheese. They have cinnamon rolls, cookies, and cakes on display that looked so delicious I had to buy a couple of the cinnamon rolls as well. The visit turned out to be a good one and won't be the last. They are open 24/7 with Breakfast anytime. read more

One thing my fans have learned about the Fat Man is that he loves a good burger. They are one of my favorite things in this world. So, we stopped at Burger Boy while out and about in Louisville, KY. Burger Boy is a low-key joint open 24/7 for burgers, deli sandwiches & classic American breakfast fare. I tried the Old Louisville Burger, made with a ¼ burger, bacon, over easy egg, and provolone. The burger was cooked perfectly, with crispy edges and a juicy interior. It could have used a touch more seasoning, but it was tasty. While out of the bag, the bun was fresh, and the bun-to-burger ratio was good. The veggies were fresh and crispy, the egg yolk was perfectly runny, and the bacon was crispy and chewy. The cheese was melted over the burger and offered a salty and very subtle sweetness to the bite, cutting through the creamy egg yolk and saltiness of the bacon. I also ordered the Chili Cheese Fries. This dish comes with cheddar cheese and house-made chili and is served over seasoned fries. The fries were cooked well, and the seasoning added to the flavor of the chili. It was full of meat, tomatoes, and beans. Their chili was thick with excellent taste, a touch of sweetness, and a good peppery heat finish. The cheddar cheese was spot-on gooey and added a great saltiness to each bite. The fries were adequately coated in both cheese and chili. My wife went with the ¼ burger fully dressed in cheese and seasoned fries. Again, the seasoned fries were cooked to a crunchy outside with a soft inside, and the seasoning tasted like a BBQ-type seasoning, sweet with a bit of heat on the end. The burger is cooked perfectly with crispy edges while still being juicy. The veggies are fresh and crunchy, and the mayo helps cut through everything while giving some needed creaminess to each bite. Burger Boy has an extensive menu that includes breakfast and late-night eats. The servers were lovely, and the food came up fast. The Fat Man says that Burger Boy is Fat Man Approved with 2 chins. read more

I needed a late night bite since I slept all day Sunday and thank goodness Burger Boy is open 24/7 and has delivery! I ordered the burger boy special which is a doubly patty burger with fries and a drink. The burger is cooked to order and arrived still hot! Normally when I go to the restaurant it's a little intimidating with the person at the grill having orders yelled at them from the person at the cash register but the service is always very quick. The restaurant is a lot bigger and less crowded in the back at 1am than it is other days of the week! If you need a quick bite to eat try Burger Boy! read more

Burger Boy has been on my list of places to try for a while and I finally got the opportunity over the weekend. There is street parking and we were able to find parking pretty easily. Once inside, we placed our order at the counter and then found a place in the back to sit. Not sure if they were short staffed or not but the floor was slick from grease and most of the tables had empty baskets/glasses on them. We found a table in the back that was luckily empty. There wasn't any signage as well to notate that the floor may be slick. Onto the food: I ordered the Burger Boy combo with cheese fries and a side of ranch. The burger was good and well seasoned. I wasn't a fan of the sauce but that was just a personal preference. My fries didn't have the cheese so that was a bit of a bummer. Overall, it was good but maybe not everything it had been hyped up to be by others. I did enjoy the burger though so I would give it another chance. read more

I have so many memories at this diner! This restaurant doesn't need all the fancy bells and whistles to be able to provide good quality food at a great price. Any cake that they offer in the little glass display is worth trying. From their breakfast menu to their lunch and even dinner this is a diamond in the rough in old Louisville. Their staff is always fun and unique and there isn't any stigma of who dines there every walk of life comes here and all are greeted equally the same and welcomed with open arms. You can't dine here without picking some classic song from the jukebox! And you have to try their loaded fries! read more

Great burgers any time of day! Food: the food is cooked fresh in front of you and is always a hit. To have the best experience get a cheeseburger and an order of chili cheese fries. They even have vegan options like a beyond burger! After ordering at the counter you can get your food to go or eat indoors or at one of their outdoor picnic tables. The wait time for your food can vary depending on how busy they are. There is usually only one person on the grill and another on register. The longest I've waited is about 25 minutes, the shortest is 5. Plan accordingly and give yourself enough time to wait incase they are in a lunch rush. Parking: it is only street parking however this it is located on a quieter street so finding a spot nearby isn't terrible. read more

The best food! My waitress is normally always a girl and she is the sweetest but I've never caught her name! I sat outside and I helped clean up my trash to make sure she didn't have to and she gave me TWO FREE COOKIESS! So sweet and I recommend her read more

The staff was pretty nice. But what you get at like 2am is whatever you get. The orders were all over the place. Wrong, overcharged. I guess you can't be too choosy when it's the middle of the night. read more

Burger Boy has been a Louisville staple for the longest time. I've heard about it over the years but never really made my way there until this past Christmas Day (I had to work and didn't feel like cooking after I got off) to my surprise they were open all day Christmas. I didn't review then because it was my first time being there. It was very busy Christmas and did wait awhile. This visit was after my Yelp Elite week perk event. I wasn't ready to eat my sweets and I remembered this place and decided to come here. It wasn't very crowded and I didn't have to wait long to be waited on. The employee behind the counter seemed frustrated but not towards me. My order was taken and I did wait a few minutes for my food. When my name is called out I go to the counter to get my food, they don't have table service here so everything is done at the counter. I got everything but my drink and the employee behind the counter said she'd get it shortly but continued to take other customers orders finally after waiting a few one of the cooks asks me if something is wrong and I tell him I'm just waiting for my coke, he gets it for me no problem. She also had another table waiting for their drinks as well but takes it to their table. Now to the food. The menu states all burgers are cooked to medium. I prefer well done and I actually didn't know this from the previous visit until I looked at their to go menu. The burger was good the first time so it being cooked medium didn't bother me. This visit I got the Old Louisville Burger w/o Lettuce, Onion and tomato. I picked off the pickles and ate them. There was only one slice of bacon on the burger which was a kicker for me because most places put more than one piece of bacon on their burgers. The bacon was cooked perfectly so there's that. I have no complaints about the seasoned fries they were delicious. I give 3 stars for a few reasons. Employee who took my order seemed frustrated about something even though I know it wasn't directed towards me while taking my order. There was also where I was having to wait for my drink but continued to take orders. The dining room in the front is small but kinda cozy in a way. They have a dining area in the back but it looked closed off. You maybe waiting beings every thing is made fresh and I do like fresh food. I give props to the cooks especially the older man who came out and asked everyone dining in if our food was good and of course it was. I do plan on coming back I just don't know when. Maybe I caught this employee on a bad day and hopefully things got better for her. But, like their Motto says "If you're awake, we're open". (Side note, there is a Burger Girl on Frankfort Ave.) read more

I had a great experience. I ordered through a delivery service. I got a quarter pounder with American cheese and provolone and lettuce and tomato onion and pickle with a little mayo. Everything was so fresh and delicious. I think it's the best burger I've had in a long time. I'm not joking. I never leave reviews. But I absolutely had to leave a review about how great this burger was. The only issue I ran into was my drink was wrong. And I thought about dropping a star for that reason. But that burger was so good I decided not to. read more

Excellent experience! Upon arrival, quick service to place my order and got my food within 5 minutes. Currently you can only eat outside. Dine in area set to open around 11.20.21 Easy street parking area. Staff was amazing and food flavor was superb. Burger was fantastic but I really loved their seasoned French fries. They were crisp hot and just the right amount of spices. They have plenty of items on their menu beyond burger combo. But burger combo was perfect quantity and value for a quick lunch. read more

In the spirit of Louisville's 2023 Burger Week, a week when 25+ restaurants offer $7 burgers, we found ourselves browsing for places we hadn't tried yet. Burger Boy Diner is on South Brook St. in the Old Louisville area. Burger Boy is a 24/7 diner and a burger on a regular night is only $8. Despite being what might be considered less gourmet, this option was appealing because they included fries, allowed takeout, we had never been, and it was within a couple miles from home. My husband stopped in to place an order and there was a 45 minute wait. We're close, so this wasn't an issue for us. He placed the order and came home to wait on it. They were upfront about the wait and service was friendly. We order two of the following- BURGER WEEK QUARTER POUNDER Fresh 80/20 Angus beef, with melted American Cheese, Special Sauce and fully dressed! On a toasted bun, and served with a small order of our Famous Seasoned Fries! This burger was your all-American burger. The toppings were stacked. The tomato was fresh and thick and the pickles were plentiful. The fries were phenomenal and the well-seasoned. I actually couldn't figure out if the special sauce on the burger had spice, or if it was lingering on my tongue from the fries. Either way, the combination hit the spot. This diner is open all-night. The accessibility alone makes it desirable. It's as cheap as fast-food, but far less disappointing. If I were still living out my party years, I could see myself ending every Friday and Saturday night with a meal from Burger Boy. Do yourself a favor, don't skip the fries. read more

The staff here is the best. I really appreciate the upbeat attitude every time I'm here. The bison burgers are fantastic.

Delicious and the epitome of your stereotypical old school diner. Get a burger, fries and a shake

Food was good. The service was better, and it feels like a dinner. Friendly environment.

So,the last time I was here,I went to put a tip in the tip jar, and before I did, I asked the cashier if the tips are split between them and the cooks... and her answer was NO!The tips go only to the cashiers,so I thought about it and gave the tip to the Cook because they do a large majority of the work!No way the cashiers should get all those tips to themselves!! read more

Be warned: if you order for delivery, you are ordering through delivery.com and not the diner itself. Ordered two cheeseburger combos. 1.5 hours to receive.

I then called Burger Boy directly and call went straight to voicemail and recording said mailbox was full. read more
