    Visited Cunningham's for lunch today and ended up sitting inside due to the humidity. Inside is very casual! I had the whitefish combo with grilled shrimp, rice, green beans, and potato salad. All of the food was good. Our server was kind and attentive. Afterwards, we walked out on the dock. The atmosphere in the back is lovely.

    Have been to Cunninghams twice in the last week. The first time we started with the fried mushrooms and then had the seafood trio meal. The fried cod and grilled shrimp on the trio was great. The fried oysters were good, although my wife was so so with them. The mushroom appetizer was good with a lot of mushrooms. We finished with the bourbon bread pudding, exceptional. Our waiter Henry was spot on. The second trip we had the shrimp cocktail and the seafood combo with grilled whitefish and shrimp. Everything was great. We finished with the blueberry cobbler. The service was not as good but the food was wonderful. We found our new place to go for fish.

    I haven't been here in a while. I was mistaken and i thought they had fried green tomatoes but they don't. I got the fish dinner. that consist of: 2 thick fried cod filets, onion rings, and a salad. my wife just got the fish sandwich. she enjoyed the coleslaw. no military discount. I loved their fish.

    I've been a resident of the Kentuckiana region for almost a 1/2 century and this is my first time visiting Cunningham's. In my defense, I think it's because we have so many great local restaurants! Suffice to say, this place will be on my top 10 of places to recommend, especially in the fish category as well as scenic spots for dining ambience. We sat outside on the lower deck overlooking the dock. The only drawback was the intermittent almost nauseating smell of exhaust from idling boats. This was tolerable for us since it was thankfully only occasional and brief. Parking was also a bit of a hassle, but patience will be rewarded. Our party of 4 was seated within 15 minutes of arrival for a Saturday 5 PM dining, which is fast for anywhere in this town for this time slot. We also never felt rushed during our visit, which is also a great compliment considering how busy and popular this place happens to be. Our server was absolutely fantastic. Sorry that I don't recall her name, only that she wore a hat that referred to her dog (Max?). She was able to make great recommendations and also shared some insider tips about the queso dip. Food and drink service was efficient and timely. We ordered the queso dip, fried fish, broiled fish, grilled shrimp, rice, steamed broccoli, onion rings, baked potato, and salads. Consensus was that all of our choices were delicious and prepared very well. Looking forward to future visits, especially during nice weather to be able to fully enjoy the water views during dining.

    We just had such a relaxing dining experience for a quick Saturday outing. We all were in the mood for fish/seafood and they did not let us down! I had the shrimp dinner ($22) it came with about 12 large fried shrimp and two sides. It was very good the shrimp, coleslaw and cocktail sauce all tasted amazing. Everyone else got the fish sandwich entree ($18) and it was massive and so crispy but not greasy which was nice. It has a nice community scene and great bar area. The patio overlooking the river would be nice to enjoy in the spring/summer months. My one take away was it does have some improvements that need made, the women restroom the handicapped stall lock was broken and in turn not usable if anyone may need it. But for food and service it is a top contender for great fish in Louisville!

    Fish & chips ... so yuMMy!

    The fish is the best in town ...the fish was so good that after eating what we ordered .... My son & I ordered another piece of fish a piece. That's how good it is... please check it out. Service was spot on.. friendly people & it's right on Harrods-creek. You will not be disappointed... Full service bar with lots of really nice friendly people. Outdoor dining as well. See ya there. This is really a 10!

    Always great food, my fav is the cod anyway you like fried, grilled or baked. Salads fresh, side all tasty. Service last visit was Tara, awesome and attentive.

    Fried Oysters and onion rings! So plentiful and very reasonably priced.
    Cindy H.

    Food always very fresh and delicious Parking can suck, so I recommend coming early. They accommodated our party of 8 without any problems.

    This was our first itme to eat here. We pass it many times as we travel River Road, but never stopped because the parking lot was always full. We were going to go to Captains Quarters, but decided to give Cunningham's one more try. It was late after noon and the lot was not full so the lunch crowd had probably come and gone. We know that they have always had rave reviews about their Cod fish so that was our plan. We walked in and got seated right away and the server came and took our drink orders. We both ordered the Cod sandwich and onion rings as an extra side. The fish was exceptionally large and thick. It had a very nice sweet and flavorful taste. What really made our meal were the onion rings. The crust was so crunchy and the onion very flavorful. It is hard to describe just how good the crunch is. The atmosphere was very good, the service was as well and we can't wait to go back. They have deck seating out back on the creek and when the weather gets better it should be fun to try.

    It's the view of the water.

    our waiter Mallory was so amazing!! our party of 9 all loved her!! she was just such a joy to be around!! and she put up with all of us!! Thank you!!!

    Avoid. Even if you request outdoor seating a week in advance, when you arrive they will try to seat you inside.

    Another Ole Restaurant Group/Martinez/Lorenzo style place...and, honestly, their menus are all…read morestarting to blend together. Bourbon and Burger's menu is at least 50% identical to Mussel and Burger Bar and has some overlap with Havana as well (both currently or previously owned by Ole Restaurant Group/Martinez/Lorenzo). If you like Mussel and Burger, you'll like this. And pay about $10 more per meal. The burgers are mainly in the $15-$18 range. For JUST a burger. Add an extra $5-$7 for fries and you're looking at a BURGER meal topping out around $25. That's more than you'll pay for a burger at any fine steakhouse. Shakes are $9-$15! $1 extra for ranch! We just spent $120 for 3 people. For BURGERS. I'm not sure who decided on this price point but it doesn't fit. The vibe of the place is very casual. The food itself tasted fine. I don't recommend the zucchini fries. Burgers are too tall - with 2 patties on them. We had to eat them in sections with forks and knives (no thanks). Service was very slow. I don't think our server actually ever checked on us the entire time we had our food. Towards the end of the meal, I noticed the server had taken my soda away. And never brought a new one. I have no idea why. The grass bull outside makes for a fun pic. The restaurant has a great ambiance and offers outdoor seating as well. We won't be back.

    First, the atmosphere is great. There is an outdoor seating area, a giant grass bull for pics,…read morebright pops of yellow inside the restaurant. Everything Led me to think, "YES! This is going to be great". Unfortunately, that's where the great stopped. The menu is good. They offer a bunch of different burger options, Several chicken options and bar food apps. However, our service was very poor and slow. My party of 5 started with a chili con queso. It was basic but good. The serving was small for the price. We ordered a variety of meals. 2 chicken strips and fries, one grilled chicken strips and fries. A second order of grilled chicken with loaded sweet potatoes fries. And Lastly, a ground beef loaded nacho. The chicken was extremely dry and the nachos were so greasy. I know, we went to a burger place and nobody ordered a burger... maybe a bad move on our part. Also, every small sauce was $1 and you receive about an ounce. I was a bit surprised when I got the bill and none of the chicken came with any sauce. In all, It's cute enough and in a great location. I will go back to try a burger.... But based on our experience yesterday, I'd pass on the chicken.

    We visited here for our 21st Wedding Anniversary!…read more Great ambience and plenty of room in the different areas. Drink/wine selection is top notch- we went with the Pinot Noir. Started with the crab dip- great flavor and texture, fresh scallions and shaved cheese which helped build up the crab flavor- even got extra bread for the dip since it was a good sized portion, Baby green salad- fresh, crisp lettuces, cucumbers and tomatoes in a vinaigrette Bacon wrapped pork loin was flavorful and tender on the inside while the bacon was crispy and cooked to perfection. The highlight was the squash - almost like a veggie lasagna. Char grilled cab ribeye- cookedto perfection (medium rare) with potatoes. Balsamic fingerling potatoes- while they had agreat taste and texture- little too sweet. Finished with a key lime pie- heaven in a pie crust- great key lime flavors, meringue was to perfection!

    Service: Speedy!

Food: Cornbread- unexpected. This was the free bread corse for the table but it was not expected. This didn't come out until after we ordered our meal.

Definitely burnt my mouth because I was impatient Hawaiian Fish- Big portions! It is true when they say that everything is bigger in the south! The fish was light and free of the fishy scent. The rice was a bit mushy from the cook and the addition of sauce. Angus Filet Mignon- standard. The filet was cooked nicely and the lobster compound butter was a nice touch.
