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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Nothing to see here folks. Move along, Move along. If you are looking for an enjoyable dining experience and you like fish, then by all means choose Cunningham' Creekside. I envy those that live close to this establishment. These guys are way better than 4 stars. What do they do wrong? The offer varied menu combinations, sandwiches of all kinds, popular sides, and its all fresh. Next time that I visit I will include some pics. read more

Stopped by for a late dinner. Was still able to sit on the patio because it was well lit. Loved being able to sit with a view of the water. I had the fried fish and fried fish combo with coleslaw and onion rings. Everything was delicious, I'd order it again without hesitation. The fried shrimp and the onion rings were the starts of the show though. So good! Server was attentive and kind. I was a little hesitant about ordering the coleslaw but she offered to switch it out for me if I didn't like it, but it was good so it was a non issue. Can't wait to go back. Mark this one on your list for must visit patios :) read more

Been coming here for years mostly for the fish n chips which is top notch. Tried the Fried Chicken for the first time tonight and was highly impressed... Very crispy and flavorful, some of the best I have ever had. The coleslaw is also impressively balanced and not watery at all. The green beans were clearly slow simmered and I am guessing the secret ingredient is love. The entire staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and fast. I do recommend you come early for dinner because they get busy... read more

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

one of our favorites in Louisville. not fancy but great food. Being on the creek it is fun watching the boats. Some pull up to the dock just to eat! read more

The food here is so incredible! The fish sandwich of course is an absolute must. The takeout service is incredible super fast and always pleasant. I really enjoy the atmosphere when picking up our food orders. We eat here pretty regularly. I highly recommend the Queso under Appetizers it is to DIE for!! 10/10 fresh fish! read more

Love Cunningham's. Simple but great and reliable. Great prices, good drinks, and good food. You can park your boat right at the dock too! Definitely recommend. read more

Just stopped by for a bit. Got easy seats at the Bar early Sunday. For those who loved KT'S queso, and don't want pay LeMoo prices. It's here. Queso is 100% KT'S. Saw a former KTS employee there. Coincidence? Nope. 100% delish and authentic. Screw Le Moo read more

Its nice to come on a boat. The food is OK but the location makes up for it. Also probably a little pricey but its ok. Servers are nice

Wanted to like this place, but omg. Parking area was inadequate for today's crowd. Angry girl took out name for first available table, twenty minutes later we were seated at a table so broken it should be repaired or removed. Ordered mild chicken wings, got buffalo wings. I asked waitress and was told that's mild. Fish was ok, nothing special. Everything was a poorly organized miss for me. Unlikely to return. read more

Love this place . Just wish the have bean soup more often. Fish sandwich was again fantastic. Great service

Absolutely coming back for More! This place is Wonderful! I got the Rueben Sandwich. Fried Mushrooms for appetizer, and Wifey got the Fried Fish combo with Pan fried Oysters. Topped off with a Cunningham Margarita ! My beverage is a Bourbon Slushie! OMGAHH, Guys, you've got to check this place out! I Highly recommend. Our Server, Sarah was Absolutely Perfect!

Went on a Friday night. Decent amount of parking spots by all were full. Had a small wait for a table of 8. Were sat outside. Friendly & thorough staff throughout the nights. Our table had gnats all around which wasn't great. Food was decent. Standard fried fish. read more

Stopped by to have another one of Cunningham's cod sandwich's or burgers I like. I decided on the Cunningham Burger and Onion rings. As always, great staff, fast food and a fantastic perfectly seasoned and cooked burger with amazing onion rings! I wish it wouldn't have been lunch time but closer to happy hour because a beer would have been a perfect match for a great lunch! read more

Friendly, super casual and welcoming. Large bar, covered outside seating, open creekside tables and creek docks are available. On a warm sunny day it will be packed. Classic bar food at great prices.

Delicious food, drinks, and very busy in the early evening. My party of 4 arrived for dinner around 6:30 pm and this place is packed. People waiting outside that did not make reservations. Once inside the waitstaff is great, personable, and helpful. We all ordered different things and they were delicious. One of our orders were forgotten so that's why the 4 stars but again they were very busy. Looking forward to visiting and eating there again. read more

Met some friends here for a get together. They were busy, parking lot full. We were lucky to get seating for us 7. We were waited on promptly for drink and appetizer request. Our waiter was very good, his name was Paul. He just had everything under control. He delivered everyone's drinks and took orders. Everything went great, food delivered in a good time from ordering. Paul took everything we threw at him, made sure all our needs were met and we were happy. The food was great; everyone got what they ordered and food was plentiful for our orders and tasty. I had a side salad which was crisp and upped my order to include onion rings. The dining room and bar were what you come for, nothing fancy but clean and well organized. Definitely coming back. This wasn't our first time but we waited too long between visits. Need to come more often. read more

Stopped by for a late lunch while visiting family. The fried chicken dinner is the best I've ever had. Crispy outside and juicy inside - just perfect. Half a chicken, big pieces. Plenty of French fries and delicious coleslaw rounded out a great dinner. Other choices at the table included pan-fried oysters and a large house salad with eggs, bacon and cheese. Beautiful view of the creek further enhanced our experience. Prompt and efficient service made for a pleasant afternoon. read more

We had a wonderful lunch yesterday on Memorial Day. There was a bit of a line outside so I was worried we might have a wait, but thankfully we got the last available table outside! There were several open tables inside but I think everyone was wanting to have a view with their meal. This was my first time going and I'm already ready to go back My husband got the fish dinner which came with mashed potatoes and I got a cheeseburge that came with chips and a pickle. We each had a bourbon slushee as well, which were quite tasty! I'm not a seafood person, but the menu had a very nice variety of foods so I think there's something for everyone. Definitely sit outside if you're able to! read more

We were in town visiting family and had dinner here last night. There was something on the menu for everyone. Service was quick and friendly. The food was great and sitting by the water was so nice. Would love to go back again the next time we're in town. read more

Service was good. Food was very good and very generous portions. Fish sandwich platter with two sides would have fed us both easily.

We've been coming to Cunningham's for years. Love to eat outside and watch the boats going by during the summer months. It's always a fun place to eat, good portions and great food! read more

I have been told this place has the best fried fish sandwich in all the land, so I had to try it for myself (sorta, since I am not an eater of the bread) but I'll get there. I was greeted as soon as I walked in and was sat immediately inside (the covered patio was full and with the on and off rain I didn't want to risk the actual patio). It took a few moments for my server to come over but to be fair she was preoccupied with another table that was pretty rowdy and I was only 1 in a party of 4. Once she did I ordered the Sangria while I waited and thought it was pretty good. After my joiners arrived it took her a while to come over and greet them even though she walked passed us several times even after cashing out the other table. I ended up ordering the fish platter that was grilled and got a loaded baked potato which was delicious so I can only imagine how good the fish sandwich actually is. I will be honest and say I was really disappointed in the service over all. I was a server for years so I completely understand we all have our days but when you constantly have to flag your server down because they are completely neglecting your table it's just not ok. We had to ask for refills with empty cups/bottles on the table, we needed sides we had ordered with our food that didn't come out initially, and she even brought our checks when we weren't done and were going to order another round which we did. It was obvious we got sat at the end of her shift and she was ready to leave. read more

We came here with a lot of my husband's family on a Friday night back in late January. We live all the way down in Elizabethtown, but my father-in-law works at the truck plant, and had several people recommend this place to him. We had a large group and we're seated pretty easily, granted this is probably because of the time of year we came. I would like to try to come back during the summer to sit outside and enjoy the waterfront view. The food was very simple. I got something that was like a burger but on toast. Really nothing to write home about. We were with a little cousin who loves fish (in a "fish are friends not food" way), and he forbade everyone from ordering fish. Maybe in season, and outside in the sunshine, and without the fish police, we have a better experience. Unique place with waterfront dining. Would consider coming back if I'm in the area and it's a nice summer day. read more

I met a friend for lunch at Cunningham's. We both ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was excellent. The service was good and I like being by the water. The only thing I will say is It got a little loud in the restaurant. It was a little hard to hear each other talking. Otherwise it was great. read more

We usually get cod, shrimp, slaw, side salad, and split fries and onion rings. Every time we go service and food are consistently great. Depending on the time you go will determine wait time. This, in my opinion, is a sign the food must be worth my wait time. You can order ahead to go tho. read more

Of course the atmosphere is spectacular! My wife had the chicken salad sandwich with their Mac and cheese, it was delicious! I opted for the Trio Fish platter with green beans and their cole slaw! Luke and Tara (shift change) each were fantastic servers! Sorry I didn't take photos of the food! read more

I was told the fried fish here was really good. They weren't wrong. The fish dinner was enough for two people. The fish was delicious!! I enjoyed the fries too. I loved the potato salad. It was fairly sweet. We had the cheddar beer bites as our appetizer. I wasn't impressed. You can definitely taste the beer on the outside coating. We didn't finish them which is odd for us with an appetizer. read more

Cunningham's Creekside - Harrods Creek - American Near Me - Prospect, Kentucky

I grew up in Prospect and I remember going to Bus Parsons' as a kid. I was young, but if my memory serves me correctly, Bus Parsons' was frequented by a lot of guys on motorcycles and they had decent burgers. I think the spot probably has a long history, but it's currently Cunningham's Creekside. My dad is fried fish fanatic. Not just during lent, but everyday, all day, all year long. When we decided to meet up for dinner tonight, nobody was surprised that he wanted fish and chips. It might not be the first place we'd normally think of, but it's Saturday, we didn't have reservations, and we thought we had better odds of getting a table fast at Cunningham's. Cunningham's is a cool spot. It's on Harrod's Creek and you can pull your boat right up, dock it, and grab a bite. No need for boat of course, they have ample parking too. It's a bar that offers patio seating when the weather permits. It's got plenty of televisions to catch the game. It also has soups, salads, and grilled options if, like me, you're trying compromise with someone who always wants all the fried things. I ordered salmon tonight. It was served on rice and it came with two sides. I got side salad and a baked potato. The food came out quick, so I scraped what was left of my salad onto my plate. I'll include a picture, but that might be important to keep in mind. I had a Blue Moon draft beer too. Dinner was delicious and not too heavy. I appreciate that I can go to this same spot my dad took me when I was a kid, he can have his fried fish, and I can find something at a bar that's a bit less bar food-ish. The sign in front of the building has changed. The entire interior is different. We've added a lot of chairs around our table too. But the nostalgia of grabbing a bite off River Road creekside with Dad is the same as it's always been. read more
