    We split the ribs and chicken tenders dinner. It was delicious and there was plenty of food for two people. The croissant they bring you out when you first get there was delicious. Our server was amazing. They had plenty of parking.

    Girls lunch so decided to check out Cheddar's! We were immediately greeted by a lovely hostess, seated in a comfortable booth, the waiter appeared momentarily with a basket of warm honey-butter croissants. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, pleasant decor, with low noise impact. Food was serviced quickly, well plated, portions were perfect for our appetites. Would recommend the Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen to anyone who enjoyed a good home style meal.

    Landed here at peak dinner hour (5:30-6pm) and were able to be seated immediately while the place was packed. Service was a little slow to get going initially but once we received our drinks everything seemed to keep rolling. Food is always good here and pricing is excellent accompanied by a super casual atmosphere. Anytime a group of 6 can dine for under $100 (which included an appetizer) you're doing good!

    So first we ordered onions rings and the server came back and asked us again what we ordered we told her. Then they bring us spinach dip told them we didn't order that and then they try to bring the spinach dip back again. Then told her for the fourth time we ordered onion rings. Then she brings us our dinner I order the trio sampler and honestly looks like someone threw the items on the plate. Then I tried the chicken and well even thought you could tell it was old by looking at it I tried it and it was dry and rubbery. We told the server and she said I figured and said she would bring me new ones she did, they were a little better but she didn't bring me 4 but 3 but at this point I wasn't going to complain anymore. The server showed use she was very unhappy to be there and the service showed that too in how she spoke to us and the looks she gave when we would ask for something. Have to say this is not the first time we have had horrible service or the food was not worth half of what they ask for. But I wanted to give them another try. Well that was the last time I come to this and maybe any Cheddar's. I go out to eat to have good service and good food and if I can't get at least one of those then why go back to the place if they prove time and time again they can't provide that.

    Our waitress was great. Tried to get 2 different apps with no luck. The food was decent but not great.

    Good news, we made it back to Cheddar's. Bad news, it was beyond disappointing and will likely be our last visit. We stopped in on a Friday night. We were seated right away, but I later realized we were in the bar area. The booth was fairly tight and uncomfortable for a party of 4. Service was friendly but slow, which I didn't understand considering how few people were at the restaurant. My kids opted for a Jr burger off the kids meal. They got a drink and side. Fries and side salad were average, but the side of broccoli was inedible. I got chicken tenders. No flavor to the breading, so odd. Thank goodness for the honey mustard. The flavors of the food were pitiful. I hate when you leave a meal feeling like you wasted your money.

    I'm so glad we found this place yesterday. We arrived early in Louisville for a networking event…read moreand wanted to hang out somewhere with a nice outside area. We definitely found the right place. The patio area with the Koi pond and waterfall was perfect. My wife and I had the Fried Green Tomatoes and Selena's Crab Caps. Their menu looks amazing as did the specials of the day. We didn't have time to eat a full meal, but did enjoy our time outside. Our server was great and one of the owners did come by to check on us also. I would definitely come back to try more of their food.

    We had originally gone because we saw the $2 bellini and mimosa special advertised, but when we got…read morethere they were actually $5. I'm not sure if the $2 version was a smaller size or only offered at certain times, but honestly... the drinks were still worth it. The flavor was amazing, and unlike a lot of brunch drinks that taste watered down, these were actually strong. Two glasses definitely had me feeling tipsy, so I can't complain too much there. The main reason I took off a star was the parking situation and accessibility concerns. The handicap parking is positioned perpendicular to the main road, which honestly feels unsafe when backing out. If someone already has mobility or visibility limitations, backing directly into a busy road can be stressful and dangerous. The rest of the parking area is also gravel, which can be difficult to navigate with mobility aids, wheelchairs, walkers, or even just for someone unsteady on their feet. It's one of those situations where it's great that handicap parking exists close to the entrance, but the actual setup still creates challenges. Outside of that, the drinks themselves were genuinely really good, the atmosphere was fun, and I'd probably still come back for another brunch date.

    We visited Reardon's Fruit Market and Garden Center and saw this Bistro across the street and…read moredecided to try it out for lunch. What a gem!!! We had a conversation with the owner who has degrees in Food Science and Culinary Arts, and is passionate about "changing the world with food." The inside is cozy, inviting, and meticulously clean. There is a small bar area and an area of table seating. Outdoor seating is available as well. The bistro is known for one of its appetizer small plates of deviled eggs. The owner said that the recipe for the eggs is one of the few things he is not wiling to share! Employees and patrons have drawn pictures of deviled eggs that are displayed on a wall space. I opted for the grilled chicken Greek salad. Greek salad is a favorite of mine and I have eaten it from numerous restaurants. By far, this was the best I have ever had. The artful presentation, fresh ingredients, and decadent flavors were a real treat. The chicken was so tender and again, the flavor bloomed in my mouth. The owner brought out a small serving of homemade peach ice cream that had been made the day before with fresh peaches. I simply have no words for how delicious it was. I will let my husband describe his experience in his yelp account, but I will say that after having salmon the night before at an 'upscale' restaurant in Louisville, he commented that the salmon at this bistro "blew it away!" People often say "I will return and try other menu options," when in fact they do not follow through. That will not be the case with us, we both agree that we cannot wait to return!

Main course was the blue crab linguine. Wow! Creamy & a little slice of heaven! Great service. Was busy for a Saturday evening but we made reservations so no worries. Have never been but plan to go back.

    We've been eating at Malone's for many many years. Made special trips to Lexington regularly…read morebefore the Louisville location opened and have since eat at the Louisville location dozens of times. I've had some really good meals here and I've had some really bad meals here. As of the last year or so, the meals are more often bad than not. Especially once you factor in the price tag. I will say, our last several visits have been on a Sunday afternoon; not sure if that plays a factor in our experience or not. The some beach cocktail was awful and tasted like straight cheap coconut rum (I've had it before and it was quite good). The tempura vegetables chef feature appetizer was missing the sweet potatoes and pickled carrots advertised, the tempura breading didn't stick to the vegetables hardly at all, the broccoli pieces were so large they had to be cut up before they could be eaten, and the lotus root was way too thick. The server was oblivious about the chef's features. Made comment about it several times and was confused when I ordered some of the chef's features. If it's new, I get it, but would recommend he take a few minutes to familiarize himself. The seared spinalis I ordered cooked medium came out well done, end pieces were burnt to a crisp and tough. My wife ordered a well done New York strip that came out medium at best and the whipped potatoes were SWIMMING in butter. The potatoes may be as the Chef wanted them to be, I'm not sure, but if so, I don't know why anyone would want this. By the time you stir in all that extra butter you have very thin greasy potatoes bordering on potato soup. The server did offer to re-fire my steak and have my wife's cooked more to which we declined. I'm not a fan of doing that, especially cooking a stake more the second time because the outside becomes too done/burnt and the inside becomes dry. At this price point, she should have been offered a fresh steak in my opinion. The manager came by later and offered again, to which my Wife gave in and let her have it brought up to temp. To no one's surprise, it came back with the outside burnt to a crisp and the rest dry and tough (Even more so than well done already is. I recognize that well done steaks are tough/dry in general but she has been eating them here for years and brags about how they still manage to get it tender and juicy from her perspective). She also made mention that the herbed butter that comes with the bread wasn't very flavorful and nowhere near as good as normal and that we should have taken that as a sign. The server ended up comping my steak, which I appreciate. In all fairness, they made an effort to make it right. I feel like they could have done a bit more, especially with her steak but I'm not really upset about the service/response. It's just that the last several visits have been very sub par for the price point and from the quality I know Malones is capable of providing.

The cocktail menu features several cocktail specialties, a deep wine and bourbon menu, some other spirits, and a variety of primarily KY brewed beers. I had a couple of the latter options, and each of my two beers (neither of which I'd had before, a "Stone House" traditional lager and a "Kentucky Commons" low ABV cream ale). Our table split a couple of appetizers--the chili wantons and the spinach dip. Both were good with the slight edge to the wantons as they were fairly unique and very flavorful. The menu is not overwhelming--there are just over a dozen or so primary entree options but each looked very promising. I ended up going with the special, which that night was sea bass on jasmine rice with tomatoes. The sea bass was parmesan encrusted and super flavorful, literally every bite of my meal was on point. Great sauce that wasn't overwhelming, the fish and rice perfectly cooked, the little cherry tomatoes the best I've had all season. My wife had the fish tacos and loved them as well. Service was friendly. For the quality and ingredients, prices were fair. I'd say the drinks are even cheap. Dessert looked great, but none of us had room to try any. It was a rainy night and we were in the basement area, which is covered but doesn't have full enclosure, so it was loud as the rain hit the side covering, but dry and nice overall. We noticed two of the bar areas were empty on our way out, which looked like nice quiet places to meet. There's also the full upstairs dining room which looked nice. Reservations highly recommended.

I also heard it was a bar and restaurant. What brought me here, Burger week of course. I go here after getting off work one evening. Entering the parking lot it was packed but I found a space close to the entrance. I go in and I asked if I could sit at the bar because it was just me and was told that I could. I sit at the bar and I do get service in a good amount of time. I got the Pizza Burger which was their specialty and the Mozzarella Moons (another term for mozzarella sticks) except they are moon shaped. Very good. Then came the pizza burger. Pepperoni, cheese and marinara on a burger patty. Loved the crisp pepperoni and the cheese and marinara sauce. Can't say I ever had a burger like that and even told the bartender that was my favorite burger for burger week. Service, food and atmosphere was good for the most part. Apparently they have their staff try to push dessert sales for an S/O (Shoutout). Nothing wrong with trying to sell desserts but, idk how that sits with other employees like it's a competition or something. I didn't order the dessert and their choices looked good. I was full and thought maybe next time. I definitely want to come back and try their other foods at some point but, I don't come to this end very much. They had a band playing as I left and the crowd seemed to love it. I would love to bring friends here.
