A local recommended this restaurant when we were looking for a great soul food spot while in town for our family reunion, and I'm so glad they did! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth and hospitality. The hostess was incredibly sweet, even taking a picture of our family for us. We were seated promptly, and the service remained excellent throughout our visit. I ordered the Soulful Egg Rolls, a Peach Lemon Drop (I believe that was the name), the pork chop meal, and a slice of bourbon pecan pie to go since I had a flight to catch later that day. Let me just say--the Soulful Egg Rolls were AMAZING! I wish I had ordered more to take home. I let my cousin try one, and she immediately placed an order for her own. Everyone in our group loved their meals. My cousins ordered the catfish, which was seasoned to perfection, and the mac and cheese was hands down some of the best I've ever tasted. I was honestly wishing I had ordered some for myself! Another cousin ordered the chicken and waffles and couldn't stop talking about how good they were. When I finally got home, my pork chop meal was just as delicious as I remembered, and that bourbon pecan pie was one of the best pecan pies I've ever had. Honestly, I would fly back to Louisville just to eat here again. The food, service, and atmosphere were all a 10 out of 10. If you're visiting Louisville and looking for incredible soul food, do yourself a favor and check this place out. You won't be disappointed!

The service was fast and we were seated fast as well. The food was very delicious. Our server JuJu was very sweet and accommodating. I went during the daytime and it was naturally bright in there. The place had great music playing also.

Dasha's Collard Green Dip
Plenty F.

Two stars. My previous review was posted nearly two years ago, so I'm not sure why it's showing as if it were written more recently. Unfortunately, this establishment appears to be on the decline. The exceptional food and standout service we experienced during earlier visits have noticeably diminished over my last three visits. While menu prices have steadily increased by roughly $3 to $9 per item over the past year, the quality of the food, portion sizes, and overall service have all declined. During our most recent visit, many of the items we came for were unavailable. After waiting for about 30 minutes, we ultimately decided to leave. At these price points, it's unreasonable to expect guests to settle for limited options. And if there are significant menu limitations, they should be communicated upfront! Service was also a concern. There were only two servers for the entire restaurant, and while our server, Kay, is typically excellent, she seemed overwhelmed and off her game. After a long wait, we placed an appetizer order, only to wait even longer before she returned and asked if we wanted appetizers. Are you kidding me right now? I think that was the moment I was over this place. She proceeded to tell us the collard green dip wasn't available along with three or four other items we were considering. We had been left waiting for an item that was never coming. Absolutely bogus. Adding to the frustration, a manager stopped by to ask if we had placed our orders. When we said no, he did not offer to take them and simply moved on. I understand that rising food costs and staffing challenges are real issues, but they do not excuse a decline in quality and service. My place setting was not clean. There was a nearby table that ordered Sprite but was served Sierra Mist. And my friend's $50 short ribs resembled a cut of roast. Fried mushrooms are now $19! And fried chicken is $24 for four pieces...that's 6/piece! Including the drumstick! Unacceptable. The prices showing on Yelp are not accurate. They need to be updated. And I am never excited when an establishment chooses to add an automatic gratuity to my bill. That's a red flag, too. On a positive note, the music was enjoyable and parking was convenient. Still, the overall experience was disappointing. I enjoy supporting Black-owned businesses. So these experiences are especially disheartening. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and makes the necessary improvements. If not, the end is near. Do better, Dasha Barbour's.

Peach Margarita

The ambiance is gorgeous but the price of a shot shocked us! It was $14 for 1 oz shot of Cas Amigos. Margaritas tasted great because it tastes like all KoolAif and no liquor. I'll update later on what the food tastes like. My order just came. My husband and I are here for Open Mic Poetry Night

The food and service were great! If we're ever back in Louisville we would come back here.

The vibes were good! Music cool. Ambience was pretty. The server Kay was super attentive and sweet. The food....eh. It did take 45 minutes to an hour for food to arrive so....

Nappy roots beer. What?!

Was looking for a casual, laid back, but refined date night dining spot and found it. Got the street corn dip and fried mushrooms to start. The fried mushrooms were for sure some of the best I've had. The corn was extra cheesy. We followed this with shrimp and grits which were perfect but also cheesy. I'd super love to try the collard dip next time. Service was absolutely top notch. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles and staff eager to make our experience pleasant. All set in downtown with a nice urban feel. Will absolutely be back.

Fried chicken with their special sweet and hot sauce, and cornbread.
Carlos M.

Great setting, perfectly comfortable place to sit, excellent music, and the food? Wow! I had the fried chicken and cornbread. Everything was delicious. I happened to come in on a Monday before closing, and they made me feel at home. To top it off? They had $5 "Monday Margaritas" who can say no? tell you what, not this guy! Their Monday menu IS different than the rest of the week, I'm tempted to return! A must if you're in town.

Fried pork chop with Mashed potatoes (cream style) and 1 Sweet Cornbread
John M.

The food was amazing , all the way from ATL and reminds you of that old school southern cooking. The waitress Juju was amazing as well she recommended dishes and was full of energy and respectful.

Soul Food Egg Roll $19.00. PiX doesn't do this app any justice. Coulda been my entire meal. Perfect combo of all three ingredients!

Menu is only avail by QR Code. They don't tell U at initial seating that there is a 15% automatic gratuity no matter if Ur party is solo or under six.

Pork chops
Renee S.

If you are looking for an upscale Soul Food and Cajun inspired cuisine this restaurant is for YOU! You will not be disappointed, the food was absolutely divine and seasoned to perfection. The ambiance was a phenomenal vibe and the customer service was marvelous. I highly recommend trying as you will not be disappointed if you enjoy freshly made soul food with an upscale twist! The restaurant offers street parking only and reservations are recommend.

Ambiance
Valdez M.

My better half had this spot bookmarked from TikTok and was set on making it her birthday move. We were in town, so boom--let's pull up. Had an 8:45 reservation, but it was packed--like "stand-by and hope for the best" packed. Dope ambience though: upscale, Black-curated, with views of Main Street and staff dressed like they just walked off a style shoot. Got sat at 9:30 after a staff-favored birthday crew slid in ahead of us. No shade, but definitely an inconvenience. Waitress was kind but clearly spread thin--wife's cocktail sat at the bar for 10 minutes before a heads-up from me got it moving. Then came the mic: birthday shoutout time. Except... they missed ours. My wife played it cool, but yeah, she felt that. We tried to make her feel better by saying "imagine how embarrassed you'd be" - but it was definitely a punch to the gut. Food took its time but landed right. Cheese & greens dip = phenomenal. Salmon nugs? Fire--thanks to that sauce. Fried catfish was solid, salmon well-cooked, but that Rasta Pasta missed the mark. All heat, no soul. Service hiccups aside, the food's worth exploring. Price is on the steeper end, so I'd recommend pulling up on a quieter night if you want the full vibe.

Brussel sprouts

The place is beautiful inside. The location is nice. Right downtown close to wear the action is but not too close. Only street parking and then there are some garages nearby walking distance. The only con I had is it seemed everything was slow coming out but everything was piping hot. So I know everything was freshly cooked. All the food was amazing. The cornbread was sweet and had so much flavor. The marry me chicken was so hot, I had to let it sit for a bit. But when I bit into it, oh my the sauce flavor was everything. Seemed like 3 strips of chicken under all the sauce. I didn't like how the mash potatoes were sitting next to the bowl on the plate. Some of them mashed potatoes got stuck to the outside of the bowl and hard to get with the plate being so small for the bowl dish. The brussel sprouts had great flavor. The chipotle set them off. I do wish they were crispier. They were too soft for my liking. I will be back. I need to try some of the other dishes. Everything seems to be amazing.

It was not the best food in the world but the food here tastes like home to me. Just really well seasoned and old school. Now here's my issue. This establishment had me wait almost 90 minutes on a 92 degree day (WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD) for two meals. They had already taken my money, otherwise I would have booked it. Here's what I ate: 1. Fried Pork Chop with mashed potaotes (they were out of potato salad) and greens, gravy on the side 2. Ribs with macaroni and cheese and Pinto Beans I also got a blackberry cobbler. I checked in after 30 minutes and they weren't sympathetic. I looked at these reviews later and saw that someone said the customer service at this establishment was hilarious and they were not kidding. Here's how everything tasted: Pork Chop: very flavorful, glad I got fried and not smothered for texture reasons Mashed potatoes: good and real, but nothing to write home about Ribs: They were okay. tender. tasted like they were boiled and that's not my preference...they were also swimming in sauce. I feel like ribs should be able to stand up without the sauce and I was not sure this could happen here. The bbq sauce is part of the dish for them. Greens: overly salted, underseasoned...they needed to be eaten by the pinto beans Pinto beans: absolutely no salt--would not order again Macaroni and cheese: this is the creamy kind, not the baked kind (not my preference. Gravy: excellent Blackberry Cobbler: FIVE STARS. Delicious, buttery, so tasty. I went home and tried to make one. Seriously: no notes here. It is a must try. Charging 2 dollars for a cup of kool-aid is insane. with this kind of customer services, it would be nice if they threw that sugar water in for free. I skipped it, but just thought I would mention if you plan on trying to have some for nostalgic reasons. I haven't had any in about 30 years and I was planning on it but not when I saw the price tag. I live in Illinois, but if I ever do visit again I will call my order in, go sight seeing and then pick up my food. Don't bring your kids to this establishment unless they have confirmed your order is ready!

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

Check in is at base of the stairs and reservations are available. I chose to be seated at the bar and seating was fairly comfortable, although bar height was a bit high. Service is phenomenal. Both bartenders were welcoming and personable and checked in multiple times without being intrusive. I tried one of the featured cocktails, New Sparrow, and it entailed one of my favorite things -- a chef's butane torch -- which enhanced the rosemary sprig. The drink was fantastic and well balanced. I selected the seared swordfish entree nestled on a bed of couscous and with the addition of arugula, orange glaze, roasted tomato medley, and almonds. The highlight was the couscous, as the fish was slightly rubbery. Restaurant is lovely and overall seems to be a hidden gem. Nice ambiance, relaxed, and cozy. Well worth a visit and plan to return to try other interesting menu items touted by past patrons.

And let me tell you, it's obvious there's new ownership, new style, new menu and all for the better. The decor was giving a Bakersfield California vibe right in Louisville Kentucky. Visually appealing, honky Tonk with a small splash of humor. The day we went, was a sunny spring, I preferred indoor - we were sat at a super spacious booth. Menu is one page but they absolutely nailed it. He ordered a Hemingway. It came in a beautiful copper coupe with a dehydrated orange slice. Classy, cool with a kick. We started with the Mexican Hot Cheese dip. It's not your typical queso -- this had chilis, onions, garlic, jalapeños as toppings and it was delicious. It was accompanied by house made chips. The cheese though... Hubs had fried catfish with the Nashville Hot option and I had a Caesar salad with fried chicken. Fried Nashville hot catfish verdict - Very good, very spicy, very crispy. Caesar with chicken...I stole a crouton off the top, "that garlic crouton was amazing, I could eat those like a snack." The salad itself was divine. The dressing is light, you can taste the green chilis without the spicy kick. I could eat this salad every day! Of course we had to try the Mexican crème brûlée. Super creamy, chocolatey with spice custard with a delicate brûlée sugar on top, garnished with fresh strawberries. Same restaurant, new flavors better service, awesome experience.

First off - I love this local gem, and I think it was just an odd/off night. It started with a scary trip to the ladies room, and it was just a mess. The first part of our evening (meeting friends) was great. Cocktails were tasty and the music was vibing. Fried pickles were AWESOME. At one point, the bartender changed the record and it became crazy loud - we literally couldn't hear the person 2 feet away speaking. A member of our party got up and asked the bartender if he could turn it down (asked politely), and was ignored. Literally ignored - bartender looked at my friend and the just walked away (and not to turn down the music). Next cocktail was AWFUL... food came out, and it was hot but nothing great; fries were oily. Churros were tough and overcooked as well. Our server (a younger woman) was attentive and friendly, and that was the highlight of our visit. She did turn down the music when we asked (and after another table I believe also asked). It wasn't a busy night, and I love the vinyl vibe and cool venue - we will come back and try again, but when 3 cocktails, an appetizer, and entree cost close to $100 before tip (for 2 - our friends were the same, so $200 for a table), you really need to be on point and provide solid service.
