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.

Nappy roots beer. What?!
Jess D.

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.

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

Food was absolutely delicious!!!!!! Definitely will go back next time I visit. We enjoyed everything

Brussel sprouts
Caroline H.

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.

Chicken and waffles
Danielle C.

We went to Dasha Barbour's on a Sunday afternoon and really enjoyed ourselves. Food and service were great! We were staying downtown and walked approximately 7 minutes to the restaurant. Walking was probably a good idea because we ate so much food. Half of our group ordered the soul rolls as appetizers, which are apparently a really popular item. Everyone loved them. I had the chicken and waffles (pictured) and a side salad and everything was delicious. My husband ordered the fried chicken with collard greens and he said they were great. There were literally no complaints about the food at our table. There is a full bar and some of us ordered cocktails, which were all pretty good and reasonably priced. The drink menu indicates that they offer a lot of different flights. We didn't try any, but maybe we will during our next visit. Our 18-month old came with us. They have highchairs available. Although they do not have a children's menu, the baby and I were able to share the chicken and waffles and I requested a side order of two additional chicken tenders for the baby. When we walked in from the street, there were an additional few stairs (maybe 5 or 6) to climb to get to the hostess stand and the main restaurant. Since we had a stroller with us and it wasn't too many steps, my husband and I just carried the stroller with the baby in it up those stairs. There may have been another accessible entrance somewhere, but we didn't see it. The overall ambiance is also very nice. It feels like you are attending a relative's fancy party or wedding lol. They also played great music in the background. We noticed a DJ area and equipment near our table, so I assume they have a DJ playing tunes sometimes. Overall, I am glad that we randomly decided to eat here. All of us would eat here again and we highly recommend it.

Catfish and Grits
Lisa C.

In town for my birthday weekend. We were staying down the street and not in the mood for a burger or a steak. I found this restaurant on Yelp and saw they had catfish so I was interested right away! We didn't have a reservation but the two of us sat at the bar with no waiting. The bartender made our drinks perfectly (I had a mint julep and he had an old fashioned). I had questions about what I should order and he suggested I go with the catfish and grits. I'm not normally big on grits but he was convincing. OMG That plate is going on my list of top meals ever. It was so good - the catfish was tender and perfectly crispy, not greasy or overly seasoned. And the sauce and grits were unbelievable. I was in heaven with each bite. I did NOT plan to eat the whole thing but I was not leaving one crumb of catfish behind. My boyfriend got the Marry Me Chicken and cornbread. He enjoyed his also, but I was still thinking about mine the next morning. I hope to make a visit back for this dish every time we are in Louisville from now on.

Dasha Barbour's was recommended so we decided to give it a try for a birthday dinner. Our experience was ok. We had reservations for 6pm, however due to trouble finding parking, we arrived 2 minutes pas the grace period and our reservation had been cancelled. After a bit on confusion and back and forth between the staff, we were seated. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice--reserved tables are thoughtfully decorated, and the R&B music creates a great vibe. We visited on a Saturday evening, and while it was busy, it wasn't overly crowded. However, there are a few areas for improvement. The windows inside were noticeably dirty, with greasy fingerprints that could have easily been wiped away during table bussing. Additionally, the food was served on scratched gold chargers. Chargers are typically used for layering with plates, not for direct eating. The condition of the chargers raised concerns about safety, as I wondered whether metallic particles could get into the food. While I appreciate the aesthetic they were aiming for, it would be better to pair the chargers with proper plates. Our server, Kasiane was absolutely wonderful! She was so pleasant, answering all of our questions and offering menu suggestions. She was very attentive to our table, she kept our waters refilled and checked on us often. She was the bright spot in our evening. She even arranged a special shout-out for the birthday girl! After placing our orders, our appetizer came out quickly, however, it did take a while for our entrees to come out. As previously mentioned, there was a decent crowd that evening, but not overly busy so I don't understand why it took so long to get our food. The shrimp appetizer was very good, but the entree was just ok. I had the salmon rasta pasta which I give a 3/5. The salmon was good, but the pasta was mediocre at best. I don't feel like it was seasoned well and that took away from the dish. Not a great meal. Not a terrible meal. The music was a vibe, our server was amazing. Would I go back? Probably not. Also worth noting, fifteen percent gratuity is automatically added for checks over $70.

Service was a bit slow and as they were short staffed. Enjoyed the Strawberry lemon drop. Enjoyed the Catfish Filets. I never eat Brussel sprouts but tried the Honey Chipotle brussel sprouts and they were divine so delicious. The macaroni & Cheese was so delicious made to perfection as I am a macaroni and cheese connoisseur. My Uncle visiting from out of town had the Rasta Cajun Salmon and Pasta and had the right amount of spices and kick and sauce and was So Delicious. Served with a croissant. There is a bit of a wait but it was worth it. Our waiter was very nice and helpful. The Ambiance was very nice.

Brooklyn C.

Loved this place so much that I visited twice. The catfish was amazing! The Mac and cheese and greens were decent also. I returned to try the catfish and grits and that was probably the best catfish and grits I've ever had. The staff were courteous and the atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxed. They played really good RnB music and It was just a great experience.

Dasha's Fried Chicken & Waffles
Maurisha T.

I was able to dine at this lovely restaurant while in town for the Funk Fest. I loved it so much that I had to return for a second visit while there. The ambiance and decor was really nice! They played music which provided a little excitement to the experience. First Visit - Dinner We had reservations and was seated a few minutes after arrival. We were greeted immediately by the server. Someone at the table ordered the fried salmon bites as an appetizer and I was able to sample one. They were very good! We also tried the collard green dip. The concept was pretty interesting and pretty much identical to spinach dip, however the texture was a miss and it was way too cheesy. (I would probably pass on that next time) I ordered the Marry Me Chicken. I really enjoyed this dish and was able to finish the entire thing. I also had the opportunity to sample a piece of their friend chicken. The chicken was fried hard and seasoned well and just simply amazing!! Service was pretty good this night and everyone appeared to be very pleased with their selections! We visited on a Thursday night, so they offered "Lemon Drop Specials" at their bar downstairs. They had a great DJ, plenty of seating and a dance floor. The drinks that I tried were very good and hit the spot! 2nd Visit - Brunch I made reservations for brunch and upon arrival, I was informed that there would be a delay and to give them grace...I thought to myself, sure thing! After looking around the restaurant, I noticed that there were only a few tables occupied, so I figured it wouldn't be that bad....Boy, was I wrong! There were only two of us dining together. That was the longest that I'd ever had to wait for food. It took well over an hour for us to finally receive it. We only stayed because our schedule was free and wanted to give them a try again since we enjoyed it so much during the previous visit. I was puzzled by the delay because again, they weren't even close to busy that day. The server explained that they had only started opening for brunch a couple of weeks ago which was one of the reasons for the delay.... I got the chicken and waffles. The waffles were soooo good! You didn't even need syrup to enjoy them! My friend ordered the catfish and grits and it looked amazing. She thoroughly enjoyed hers too. Overall, we were pleased with the food and the server was very friendly. Although it took forever to get our food, I can say it was actually worth the wait. However, I hope that doesn't become the norm on Sundays, because many customers will probably not be as patient. Hopefully, they will work through the challenges they are currently experiencing for brunch because I would like to visit again the next time I'm in Louisville.

Food was amazing and delicious. I am from Chicago and never heard of this restaurant. We were doing some bourbon hunting and walked past this place. We seen beautiful people eating and the food smelled great. We didn't have reservations but they were able to squeeze us in. The food did not disappoint at all. No shade but I didn't expect to find anything like this in Kentucky. I give this place a full recommendation to try. We will be back next time I am in town.

Have heard about this gem for 20 years but never tried it until last night. Wife and I sat at the…read morebar - love the atmosphere: spacious dive bar with low ceilings and wood paneling. 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.

As soon as I moved to the Louisville area and stated asking for restaurant recommendations,…read moreeveryone would rave about Hammerheads. Hammerheads this, duck fat fries that. I was going to a UofL women's basketball game and I FINALLY was able to make it here. I went a little overboard on the food, but everything sounded so good! I really loved the pork belly slider and the duck tacos. Mac and cheese balls always slap. Then there are the famous duck fat fries. The portion is substantial, I was thrilled with that. Flavor wise they did not change my life like I was hoping they would. Still ate them all. The locale is super unassuming from the street, but inside it is really cool, divey, and broody. The staff was super sweet and helped me get in and out efficiently so I could make it to the game. Would absolutely recommend, would absolutely come back, and would absolutely bring friends here.

It's been a while since we visited Silver Dollar, I'm talking old ownership, pre-Covid long time…read moreago. 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.

Then I ordered the soup and a side of grits, which were both delicious. My husband order the Beef cheek Po Boy - yummy! And my friend ordered the Cuban. The fries are tasty and everything tasted incredibly fresh and well prepared. Of course we saved room for dessert and shared the Banana Cream Pudding. It had a roasted marshmallow top and probably the beat Banana pudding I've had! For drinks, we got the Filly Lilly, A specialty Mint Julio with Thyme in it, and the winner was the Strawberry Rhubarb Buck. Wow! Not only was the food delicious, but the service was great and everyone was very friendly and helpful. We sat inside because it was a dreary first half of the day before the sun came out for the Derby! But, there were a lot of nice outdoor areas to sit and enjoy your food or beverages.
