I know they don't have the best overall rating but this is one of those Louisville staples. It's been around for a while! I remember when they were located in 4th street, but I had never gone to try it. I finally did and I was impressed! It's a sports bar with tons of older people sitting around and enjoying food. Lots of men come and sit at the bar, chat, and watch the games. They've got a ton of TVs on, so pick an angle to sit at so you can get a great view. I came on a really cold, Friday evening around 7 and there was a wait. There were two groups of two-three waiting before us. The hostess said it would be a 20 minute wait but that didn't seem long so we stayed. They went above and beyond my expectations! We waited but 5 minutes and got seated in a back room. There were a lot of people here! So many older folks though. Like grannies meeting for wine and such, couples quietly eating. It cracked me up! My family and I were probably the youngest there. The waiter seemed busy but he came and fixed our uneven table and took drink orders. Note, they brew their own sweet tea! Definitely a selling point and one of the best sweet teas I've had in town! You could taste that it was fresh. It was absolutely amazing! Anyway, I ordered the fried cod sandwich, which was cod laid on toast. I got it on rye and had ruffles chips as a side. The two cod pieces were huge! Not a bad price either. So so good! I think the meal was around 9$? My sister got the grilled white fish sandwich on rye with chips as well. She enjoyed it but wished it was piping hot. I don't think she was as impressed. Again, the fish portion was generous! My mom got the trio platter which came with fried oysters, grilled shrimp, and two pieces of cod, one Cajun and one normal seasoning. It came with rice and a roll, then she chose green beans as a side. It was a lot! She couldn't finish it at all! She enjoyed it too and thought the meal was reasonably priced. The green beans were the best thing ever and the roll was so soft! It came with a salad that you could tell was fresh. My dad got grilled salmon with baked potato and rice. He thought the rice was a little too buttery but he is always particular. He liked it as well. His meal also came with a salad. This is definitely a place to go if you want some good seafood for a good price. The portions are huge and filling. It's a hidden gem in this city! When we left close to 8, it was getting empty. This area of town may explain that because there are a lot of older people nearby who eat dinner early. Also, it was really cold outside so I'm not sure if it was typical for then to not be that busy. Anyway, our server was really awesome and just super attentive. He did a great job of checking up on us and giving suggestions. He was really honest about the menu and the way that food tasted or was cooked. I'd come back anytime! read more

Had some fantastic fried chicken here. Half chicken, breaded and crispy. Side of mashed potatoes with brown gravy. A salad with homemade blue cheese dressing. All were very good. We sat in the screened in porch with a nice view of Harrods Creek. Will definitely return when I have a craving for fried chicken and it is available. It is seasonal. The menu says they stopped serving it at the end of October. read more

Cunningham's Creekside - Fried chicken! - American Near Me - Prospect, Kentucky

We're trying to get in as much patio dining as possible during this great weather. This was our first meal at Cunningham's. I seem to remember eating at the old Cunningham's Creek Side with my dad when I was a kid. Recently we seem to be on a roll getting great service. Today continued the trend with our server Hillary. Not only did Hillary deliver great service, our food was pretty good too with a couple small exceptions. My wife had the fish and shrimp combo ($16.50) with fries and salad as her sides. She loved the fish and shrimp commenting the fish was the best she's had in a long time. She ordered her fries well done and crispy. The fries arrived at the table perfect! However, her side salad had brown lettuce and some of the lettuce had also been frozen. She picked through her salad avoiding the unappetizing pieces of lettuce. I had the Trio Platter ($20.50 with onion rings) consisting of whitefish, fried shrimp and pan fried oysters. My sides were onion rings and a salad. I also loved the fried fish and shrimp. They were delicious. The oysters were small and over done to the point of being hard and dry. Not good.The onion rings were great. Unfortunately I had the exact same experience as my wife with the salad. I pushed several pieces of lettuce to the side of my plate. The silver lining to the salad situation was we both had Blue Cheese dressing, and we both loved it. read more

Food and service is always great!!! Options for everyone! We usually eat there as a party of 6 and the food arrives extremely quick and it always tastes amazing! Burgers, turkey clubs, fish sandwiches, onion rings!!! Everything was phenomenal! read more

My husband was working out near this location and grabbed us 2 fish sandwiches with rye bread today. Same recipe and delish fish I remember from the old Fifth street restaurant. Absolutely fresh and delicious. Homemade tarter sauce too- I forgot what a gem this place truly is and we will be back. Generous fish fillet as big as my hand - it's really big LOL. Don't drive by stop in and get the fish sandwich you won't be disappointed. read more

Loved the creek view and sitting outdoors. Grilled fish was amazing. Fans also helped on a hot night.

I am 76 years old born and raised in Louisville and I've probably been to Cunningham's 200 times at least. Cold beer, good food, good service & a good time almost always. Until now and I will not return. Charge me .50 for rocks (ice) and I am done. Charge me double for my bourbon on the rocks, I don't care. Charge me triple, I don't care. Charge me .50 for ice and I am done. read more

We started ordering curbside service when Covid first hit last year and when places started opening again we still order curbside or dine in. The food is always exceptional. The wedge salad is fresh, bacon is crunchy, yummy blue cheese crumbles, and tomatoes. We also get the salmon and the grilled shrimp entrees. Fish is always fresh, litely seasoned, rice was warm, baked potato always comes out hot and never dried out. Our server Diana was such a joy. She's polite, even with a mask you can tell she is smiling, she managed 5 tables at a time and she rocked it!! We will always come back because of Diana's wonderful service and she also has great eyebrows. read more

What a cool spot! We arrived by water and it was a uniquely cool experience being able to dock the boat and walk right up to the restaurant. Our waitress was really really terrific and attentive. The food arrived fast and was delicious. Tucked away along Harrods Creek, Cunningham's is well worth the trip to have a uniquely memorable experience. read more

I have waited a while to post my review of Cunningham's because i didn't want to write this based on emotions. I was one of a group of six (five adults & one child) and we were seated on the patio. Not long after we were seated our server (who was wearing proper face covering) came to take our drink orders. He was quite charming and funny; lots of joking around while going about the business of answering questions and making recommendations. We got our drinks and queso quickly and dinner orders were taken; again with a pleasant demeanor while answering more questions. While we worked on the queso and chatted with each other, I noticed that people who had been seated after us were receiving their food and we were still waiting for ours. When another table not only received their food before us, but finished and paid their check, one of the guys at our table asked our server about our food. The answer we received (without proper face covering and in a not-so-pleasant tone) was, "There was a large party that came in after you," before he walked off. Yeah, that made sense...not!! Three in our group were former servers and were of the opinion that the order wasn't put in. Stuff happens, I get that, but either own your mistake or keep quiet. Most of us ordered fries, and when we finally did get our food, we only got three or four containers of ketchup. Someone asked if we could get more, and he returned with two bottles and set them down rather firmly (without proper face covering). I was sitting next to the railing, farthest from the server, and when he brought the checks he didn't include a pen. No biggie. I was opening my purse to get one out, and he tossed a pen on the table in front of me. So rude!! I don't have any complaints about the food, but I'm not sure I want to return to Cunningham's based on the behavior & attitude of this server. I remember his name, and if I do return I will ask to be seated anywhere but his section. read more

Brought the family here yesterday for lunch and man it didn't disappoint. It was our first visit and we will definitely be coming back. The fish dinner is big enough for 2! I'm a tartar snob and they had decent tartar. Service is great on top of it. My 3 kids enjoyed their kids meal. Definitely will be back. My only miss is hush puppies as I think they are a staple side with fried fish. Can't wait to come back! read more

Yes I love Cunningham Creekside. The food has always been delicious and Creekside employees treat customers with curiosity.

A perfect day, sunny, warm Friday before a 3 day weekend, to sit waterside and enjoy an after work drink with Beer Cheese Bites and some Seafood! The weather, atmosphere, service and food were all nearly perfect. The drinks came out fast and we ordered appetizer of Beer Cheese Bites (very good curds of fried cheese with tasty marinara) followed by a Fish Sandwich for my wife and a Fried Trio Platter of Fish, Oysters and Shrimp for me. The food was well portioned pieces of Cod, the oysters were very good but the shrimp was just "so-so," lacking flavor. Their Cole Slaw, Onion Rings and French Fry sides were all very fresh, large portions and flavorful! Sorry, I forgot about pictures once we got into enjoying the drinks and food! read more

I wrote a review back in September 2023 because the service was non-existent. In the last month we have gone back 3 times to see if things improved or to see if they are worse. I am glad to say that the service has been very good. The food is still great. The first time we returned the server was at our table almost as soon as we sat down. He said that he recognized us but had not seen us in a while. I explained our situation and he mad sure that everything was right and apologized for the past. We enjoyed our meal and have since returned to make sure it wasn't a one time thing. As always in the past our food was very good and we were served quickly. I will be sure to pass on the good news to all of our friends that were shocked at the prior experience. Cunningham's is back on our list of "go to places" when we need a place to eat. If you get the chance do go and enjoy the food. read more

Had a really great lunch today from Cunningham's, they promptly answered the phone and took my call-in order along with vehicle details, when we pulled up they were out immediately with our food for a fantastic curbside pick-up experience. So fast and friendly! When we got home the fish sandwiches were still hot and crispy, they package separately from the bread which was appreciated! And the fish was HUGE and so tasty! Highly recommend supporting this local restaurant and I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu, though the fish was so good I'll have a hard time picking something else next time! read more

Great place, great atmosphere - I had a fish plate that rocked man. It was an enjoyable experience.

Great food. Love sitting outside watching the boats and people. Fast service! We have been there several times.

Service was terrible, food was super greasy, waiter was rude, we waited like 12 minutes just to get our bill other than that it was ok

Cunningham's has one of the best, if not the best, fish sandwiches in the city. Big old pieces of fish with a crispy batter, you can't go wrong. It's a louisville gem since it sits on the river and has a great atmosphere. Nothing fancy, but perfect at what it is. read more

Off River Road, right on the river, this is an excellent location for whatever ales you. Prefer to sit inside, it's a nice casual restaurant with a bar inside, and tv's to watch sports (possibly more than that, but we watch the sports). If it's nice outside, sitting out on the deck is wonderful! Nice view of river, boats and kayaks going by, and people pull up and dock there to come eat also! I've been here a couple times before since we've moved to Goshen, and I always get the Fried Cod dinner. The portions are amazing! We always think we will be able to each get a dinner and finish it, but the portion of fish is big! I would comparatively say it is like getting almost 4 pieces of fried fish anywhere else, literally. And very good! I personally can never finish my plate, because there is so much, but totally worth it. The price is VERY reasonable for the amount of fish. I did try a cup of their chili this time (instead of salad), and it was good. Has a little kick to it (which I love heat), reminds me of a good coney dog type chili. Always get the onion rings with my meal. Nice big rings, not one of my favorite onion rings, but pretty good, no complaints. Quick service, friendly staff. They were shut down for a bit with the recent flood as they had gotten about 8-9foot of water up in to the main restaurant. They did a great job getting it cleaned up and back open after the water receded. I would consider this one of those wonderful local finds! Great home town cooking, wonderful atmosphere and view, and no one is a stranger there. read more

Came here and met 3 girlfriends for lunch yesterday. I haven't been back since last May because that lunch was fairly disappointing. This time around they have really turned things around. We ordered the fried fish sandwich since fish fries this lent is pretty much been a pick up service. One of my friends ordered the wedge salad which looked scrumptious, of course you have to have onion rings as well as shrimp cocktails. Fish was fried just right not greasy at all and the onion rings had the right amount of breading. Service was outstanding. Keep up the good work. read more

A great location for sitting by Harrods Creek on a nice afternoon to watch the boats drift by and relax. This place has been underwater (literally) more times than I can count. The place looks fantastic inside after recent flooding, and you wouldn't even know it was just underwater mere months before. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon around 230, place was about 1/2 capacity. We sat and waited for a server, then heard the host advise said server that they were just triple sat (three tables sat at the same time). We waited patiently...after several minutes we were able to get our drink and app order in. After about ten minutes, server came by and said "I'm sorry--I need to stop by this table that I have done absolutely nothing with her." We again tried to remain patient...but then after noticing her checking on ALL her other tables...including one she pulled the check from (clearly not tables she had done absolutely nothing with) we were now frustrated. Aside from the food runners (who forgot our app)...no one jumped in to help. Managers need to be more aware and visible, especially on weekends when this place does most of their biz. Pricing has gotten steep, and over the top. Our entrees were each 9-9.50, and consisted of one piece of friend fish (9.50) and one piece of grilled fish (9). Both had "sides" of a handful of basic, plain ruffled chips. Meh. Shrimp cocktail consisted of four shrimp for 9.50. Overpriced to say the least. May be that they're paying for renovations w high pricing...but w the bad service on top of overpriced food, may not be back for some time. read more

So this is a spot that I haven't visited in years. We were super disappointed. When we walked in we were somewhat greeted by a hostess who was getting stuff out of her purse. We asked to sit outside and she said in an irritated tone you can't sit only 2 people at a5 top.Even though there were plenty open. She said we can sit you against the wall. I asked for the high top so I could see the water. She was irritated by that too. We were so put off my her poor hospitality that we almost opted to get up and leave. We sat near the door of the kitchen. Our server was just ok, not bad like the hostess. The food too was just ok. As you can see from the onion rings they were way over cooked. The best part of the meal was the cocktail. Before leaving, I went inside to see score of the football game and a new hostess was there who was very kind. She had dark hair and was wearing a skirt, she was so much nicer than the Original hostess. The bar atmosphere was nice like a local bar. I hated to give this a 2, but the experience was not a great one at all. I was there to treat my mom to lunch for her birthday. Very disappointing. read more

My wife brought me home the Country Club with chip8 and it was the saddest looking order I've seen. It's definitely not worth $9.50. The sandwich was nothing to suggest to others and THE CHIPS. People buy this size bag of chips when they purchase a variety bag or box at the grocery store. It's what you give your kid for their school lunch. Pass on the Country Club. Other items are good. but this is a big disappointment. I really miss when Cunningham's was in downtown Louisville. read more

Used to be one of our favorites, but not anymore. We won't be back. They were crowded but said they could seat our party if 2 right away. That is, until the only parking they had available was a to go spot. The hostess had the nerve to say we couldn't park there but could park 1/2 mi down the road. Before COVID, restaurants didn't have dedicated to go parking. If these places don't wake up and serve the paying customers they have, they will simply find themselves out of business. I'll take my hard earned money elsewhere. read more

One of the best fried fish sandwiches in Louisville. A great place to watch the creek, boats and wildlife while eating creekside. The beef or turkey manhattans are excellent, the onion rings are always good. Place is always packed at lunchtime. read more

Excellent food and service!! Reasonable prices. One of our favorite places! Highly recommend for lunch or dinner!

The food is excellent. I'm very fond of the fried bologna sandwich and the queso dip! The location is awesome since it's right on Herrods's creek near the Ohio river. You can sit outside, get a beer, enjoy your food, and watch all the boats travel down the creek. The service is usually pretty decent. read more

Simple food but large portions and cooked well! Great little spot to grab some carry out.

It was this past Sunday around 530 and it was busy, but not packed. We didn't wait for a table, which was nice. We did wait about 5 minutes for a server, but it was obvious that they were understaffed. From the time of order until the time the appetizer (shrimp cocktail) it was around 20 minutes. That's not the issue however, I've never seen a shrimp cocktail served over a small bed of lettuce in a bowl. The cocktail sauce came in a plastic ramekin. My fiancé and I both took a shrimp and ate it and then discovered that in addition to the 5 shrimp that were in the bowl, were 3 extra shrimp tails. Eewww. The meal came shortly thereafter, with the main course arriving BEFORE my salad. I got the salmon and the flavor was so so, but it was overcooked as it was very, very dry. Wasn't impressed with the service, food, ambience or the two piles of vomit in the parking lot on the way back out to our car. We won't return. Good luck if you eat here. read more

Cunningham's Creekside - Yeah, the extra tails. .. - American Near Me - Prospect, Kentucky

It can be fun to dine inside but we ordered carry out frequently until we kept getting less than hot food. The staff is always friendly and the orders are correct but just not hot. They need to work on timing. Even though we live two minutes from the restaurant, the onion rings and fries are always cold. The sandwiches and creek fingers are warm at best, but never hot. Wish they could figure out the timing because we have stopped ordering take out and just dine in occasionally. read more
