This restaurant caught my husband's attention because of the different kinds of meat you will not normally find in other places. We are not foodies but we love to try new things and so here we are! As soon as you walk in, you will enjoy all the displays on the wall like deer head and other animals. Very cool ambiance and place is clean! We were greeted by this sweet young lady who answered all our questions about the different kinds of meat they serve and where those meats came from. Apologies that I can't remember her name, but she was the server on Monday about 5pm. Very sweet lady who shared with us that she is vegetarian and we all had a good laugh at that! We ordered frog legs which tasted like chicken. For the other meat, we ordered kangaroo, venison, and yak. We just ordered one of each to try and they were served in meatball sampler size which is good to share and still enjoy the richness and unique flavor of each one of them. I think they are all well seasoned and came out really good. I can't really tell which one is my most favorite and which is not because to me they all tasted good! A must-try restaurant if you are in KY!
It was almost really good.... I just felt like there was an overall sense of the place, the food, the menu, not getting the TLC it deserves. It was pretty dang cold inside, to start with. There were cobwebs and dust on the wall hangings, top of the booths, and the trimming on the wall. The bartender seemed a little unengaged. I ordered a jalapeno margarita that was way too sweet. Maybe they use a jalapeno simple syrup? I'm not sure, but it overpowered the drink. My scotch eggs with pork belly was served lukewarm. The breading on the scotch egg was pretty flavorless and lacked seasoning. The white sauce on the plate was delicious, but you definitely need a ton more if the eggs are going to be so plain. The pork belly was well cooked with a nice smokey meets soy flavor, but I'm not sure if it was supposed to be served hot or cold? Because it was neither. I got a corn veggie burger. I really liked that there was actual corn flavor in it, pointing to the patty being relatively fresh. But all the food had a similar taste to it? I don't know why and don't want to speculate. Even the lettuce and tomato was just kind of... flat. I know that happens sometimes, but securing great produce is part of what makes some restaurants top-notch. Overall, this location of Game feels like a place with a great foundation and great menu that needs to get back in shape.
Game is an interesting concept, I love trying different foods and expanding my taste palette. I do think that the restaurant is over hyped than it's out to be and the interior confused me because it reminded me of a bar shack, shabby, and tacky. Service was excellent and our waitress addy-Clare is outstanding with her politeness and service!
Game is a really cool and casual restaurant with meat from a wide variety of exotic animals around the world. The food was good, and the service was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is very casual and has a lodge theme. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with booths, tables and seats at the bar. The range of food options is incredible. While Game is a meat lover's paradise, they also have vegetarian options available. I'm a meat lover, so I went with a heavy dose of meat. We started with four sampler meatballs - Antelope meatball - really flavorful - probably our favorite - Camel meatball - good, with nice seasoning - Elk - really good flavor with house seasoning - Kangaroo - good, but a little dry After that we got the Slider Trio - Wild Boar Chorizo Slider, Roasted Bison Tongue Slider, and Duck Confit Slide. The boar chorizo was good, and the duck confit was amazing. I was not a fan of the bison tongue - funky flavor and tough. The spices and sauces Game used to complement the meat in the sandwiches was a great combination. We also ordered a Prime Angus Burger, which was cooked perfectly and was juicy. For sides we ordered some French fries that were perfect and some fried green tomatoes which were good. We will definitely return.
I was very excited to try to bone marrow, it was amazing! The meatball safari also offered a variety of meat options so I was able to try a lot of the ones I wanted. All the different meat had distinctive different flavors from one another I enjoyed every single one!
I think I've reviewed before, quite a while ago. We've come for every special occasion for some time & I think it's official, my husband has had every item on the menu! This last item was Rabbit (not pictured), unfortunately it personally has been his least favorite but that is no one's fault! Just doesn't like it. Service is always fantastic as always & on top of it! Glad they weren't extremely busy so it was a relaxing dinner, I suppose we chose the right time! It was my husband's birthday & his best friend brought him Oreo Dessert from home to share! Thought we'd make the staffs night & shared it with our waitress & the kitchen staff, they were VERY appreciative! Thanks for always providing wonderful dishes!
Great burger spot! Check them out for Lou burger week--any other time check them out for a classic or exotic burger Indoor/outdoor seating, eclectic feel, perfect for a date or catching up with friends
We went at opening time and it was probably the same temperature inside that it was outside, about 50 degrees. We wore our coats the whole time. The food was hot, fresh and service was outstanding. I would want to try coming in after they have been open for awhile next time and see if the temperature is more moderate. 5 stars for the food, just took off a star because the temperature was uncomfortably cold even with the coats on.
We left disappointed. To sum it up, this place is a weird, overpriced burger joint. Please note, parking is parallel parking and very limited. Seating is also limited and we froze during our visit, despite sitting in the main area. Our server was nice and attentive. We ordered the nacho appetizer, chefs meat choice was venison and chorizo. We received our appetizer quickly. The pico de gallo tasted very fresh, but the meat was not very good. You can order a variety of game in the form of meatballs or burgers. We ordered the yak burger and kangaroo burger. They had a special of swai fish sandwich so we ordered it. Despite the prices being so high, you're paying around $20 just for the sandwich. If you want a side, you have to pay extra. The swai wasn't very "meaty" and wasn't very flavorful. The burgers were cooked well, but I wonder how much of the ground meat was actual wild game or if it has some beef filler to make the meat go further. The menu says all game is sourced from local farms but most swai is imported from Vietnam and I'm not sure where they're slaughtering kangaroos from in Louisville. Also, our food was served on wooden boards. While that may appear neat, I couldn't help but wonder how clean it actually was since wood is so porous and these had clearly been used quite a bit given all the blemishes and cuts in them. All in all, I'm happy to check this restaurant off my collection board but do not recommend and will not return.
This place is really something special. Best burgers I've ever had and I'll say it forever. My go to is the Bison burger, with a side of duck fat fries and Brussel sprouts. This place really provides you with so many options of meat to try, and a well put together sampler you can purchase to try a little bit of everything. Staff is very attentive; the place itself is a little smaller so you may be waiting on a busy weekend for a table but it's always worth it! This place is a must try to anyone who loves a good burger; and really want something that breaks the mold!
Nice little hole in the wall place, very friendly staff! The nachos and frog legs were delicious! I got the slider trio to try a different variety, they were okay. The chorizo was my favorite, the other two I wasn't too fond of because of the texture. If you're looking for something out of your comfort zone you found it
If you like trying exotic meats then this is the place! Their frog legs were juicy and meaty! We tried different kinds of meatballs like yak and antelope and they were all sooo tasty The service was good! And the restaurant is just minutes away from downtown! They have different types of food and regular food if you're not into exotic meats
Wow! What a cool experience! We met friends for dinner at Game, and really enjoyed the food and experience! Great prices for the food too. Individual reviews: The meet takes the cake: the meatballs, sliders, and burger were DELICIOUS. The table loved the bone marrow, though that wasn't my thing. I will say, I wasn't impressed with either salad. I had the seasonal salad and my partner had the grilled ceasar. The dressings weren't great and they were too dressed IMO. We also ordered dessert, and WOW! SO good.
I started with an Aperol spritz cocktail and it was refreshing with tantalizing summer orange flavors. An antelope burger with a side of roasted Thai chili Brussels sprouts for dinner was a great choice and both were well seasoned and delicious. Staff were all friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Booth seating in the main enclosed dining area was quite comfortable. Noise level was mild. There is also an option for outdoor patio seating as well as a covered more casual front dining area. Parking lot wraps around the building on 3 sides. Business is accessible for most mobility levels. read more
Game is a good place to bring visitors to try something unique. I hadn't been in a while, but it was a visitor choice for Louisville's Burger Week. We came on their kangaroo burger day. I am no expert of exotic meats lol but it didn't taste that different from a regular burger to me. The barbecue sauce and fried onions were a nice compliment to the burger. read more
Game is a great place to sample many wild game meats. I had the wild boar burger with goat cheese and cranberry jalapeño jam. It was fantastic. The restaurant has a full bar, indoor & outdoor seating and so many delicious options. I ordered grilled asparagus but Game also has yummy fries. Fast and friendly spot. We enjoyed trying a new burger.....it was wild! read more

One of the most unique meals I've ever had! The walls are covered in taxidermy, adding to the distinctive atmosphere. My husband and I were traveling when he spotted the menu and was instantly intrigued. The frog legs were incredibly tender and delicious, and all the meats were unique and flavorful. Definitely a memorable dining experience! read more
I love coming to Game. Food like you will never get any where else. If you aren't sure of what to try, order the meatballs to sample. You can order burgers any way you'd like, but I promise you the chef's recommended versions are FREAKING AWESOME! The only drawback is the severe lack of parking. It's sometimes scary trying to get in. Thank goodness there is a small but spectacular beer list to calm you down. They dropped Alpaca. Before you say anything, that was my favorite meat and beyond delicious. Today we had Wild Boar and Antelope. Spend the $3 and get the fries cooked in Duck Fat. And the corn. Good God- get the corn. I've tried recipes and other places and I've never, ever had anything as close to heaven as the corn read more

Came here for the first time during burger week and it was awesome. Brought my son while he was visiting. We tried Yak, Antelope, Elk, and Kangaroo meatballs. All cooked perfectly. I went for my tried and true Waygu burger. He had Yak burger. Very enjoyable. read more

I've been eating at Game for years. This is the first time that I was extremely disappointed. I ordered wagyu meatballs and two of them were raw. They were completely raw and I ate some. Made me sick. Didn't think I needed to check my food. Our server was sweet but she didn't really know what to do. She asked me did I want her to take it away. Of course, it's raw meat. I still paid for my meal after eating raw meat. Simply taking $6 off the receipt does not suffice for eating raw food. I asked for a manager and no one came.. read more
We came here on Monday for lunch around 12:30-1PM. The place is super cute and fits the "game" theme. We sat in the covered patio because it was a beautiful day. I ordered the "build your own" burger with wagyu meat, cheese, grilled onions, and pickles- all on a pretzel bun. The pretzel bun tasted homemade! It was delicious! I got the truffle aoli on the side. Also delicious! And the brussel sprouts were like nothing I had ever had (an Asian twist to them!) Service was great. We loved that you can customize your meat! We will be back. A little on the pricy side for burger and a side but worth it. read more
My first time and really enjoyed my visit. Parking is a bit of an issue as the lot is small. It is a small restaurant with big flavor! The staff was excellent, the vibe is super casual and the food is delish! This is the place to go to try rabbit, elk, yak, Bison and more. There are several options for the timid taster as well as the adventurous taster. read more

Game is best described and reviewed by its title. Are you game to try the ostrich, camel, bunny, kangaroo, .. etc ? The variety is great, the prices correspond and reflect to what they serve. Is it the best burgers or meatballs or you will have ? No. It is okay? A bit better than that but not full blown 5 stars. Overall I am a fan and recommend this place. read more

We've been here twice now and really enjoy this place if you are looking to be adventurous and try new things. The first time we visited we did not know it was burger week and our options were very limited but the food was great. We knew we wanted to come back to try different meats so we made it back recently to try it out! We sat inside, which had a cabin feel with antlers on the wall. The service was great early Friday evening. The waitress told us to find our own seat and she was quick to take orders and tell us about the specials. My husband ordered the antelope burger and I ordered the yak burger, both with everything on it. We shared a basket of fries with habanero ranch. My husband and I really liked the antelope burger. It was our favorite between those 2. The yak burger was maybe too 'gamey' for me, but I bet someone else would enjoy it. It just wasn't my thing. We will definitely be back to try other meats! read more

Stumbled upon this place while searching for lunch. Once I saw grilled romaine salad on the menu I knew this was it! Then I got to build your own burger and it was a done deal. I decided to build my own burger because I know what I want. I chose the yak medium well with American cheese, bone marrow aioli, pickles, tomato, raw onion , and mixed greens on an onion bun. Then I chose French fries and had them fried in duck fat. The Caesar salad had just the right char on it. I wish they would have served it on a different vessel as it was a little difficult to eat. The burger came and it smelled so good. It was juicy and the aioli was flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed the burger. Fried had a great flavor and just enough salt. 10/10 would visit again. read more

This was first time here and the food was really good!My god mother I ordered each ordered a different meat and split them I ordered the antelope and it had a different texture but I loved the caramelized onions and aioli. She ordered the kangaroo and it was good reminded me of beef. The service wasn't that great which is why I only gave it 4 stars but I would come back. The also have outdoor seating and it's heated for chilly days that was pretty cute. read more
The food here was good. Be prepared to try all the different kind if meat. First of all, I am not a huge fan of gamy meat, but I still really wanted to try this place. I am glad I have it a chance because the food was good. My favorite thing was the Scottish egg! Seriously the best Scottish egg! My husband loved Scottish eggs so I have had my fair share of them from many restaurants and this one was by far my favorite! The bone marrow was good but not the best one ever. It was just okay. I wish it did have more marrow in the middle, but still good enough. I loved all the meatballs because you can sample all the different meats. I loved the burgers they were so good! We did not finish everything because we ordered way too much so I had to pack my burger but the burger was still good the next morning! Loved the experience and would recommend if you are a true foodie! read more
Game is such a fantastic burger spot that flies under the radar. Really, it's something unique and different and shouldn't be taken for granted. I admit that I likely fell into that last category until recently. All of my previous visits have been spectacular, but it has been years since I last dined there. But last week, during lunchtime, I found myself in the vicinity and decided to enjoy its delicious burgers once more. I looked up my previous review and saw that I preferred the wild boar meatballs, so I decided to order the wild boar burger with the chef's recommended fix-ins, which include greens, tomato, goat cheese, cranberry jalapeno jam, on an everything bun. The online ordering was easy, and I had my order roughly 20 minutes after order. Yes. So much yes. It was cooked perfectly, and all of the toppings worked so well together. Loved the everything bun. I also got some duck fat fries, a previous favorite as well. I will say that I wish there had been more duck fat on the fries, but still, these were pretty fantastic. These burgers are a bit more expensive than other burgers around town, but you're paying for quality and one-of-a-kind ingredients. Definitely don't skip on Game. read more
WOW! Blown away by Game restaurant! Went there on a Friday night @5:15PM and glad we got there before the rush that was in full swing by 6PM. We sat at the bar and both ordered the most delicious bison burger I've ever had! My husband can't quit raving about it also. They also have Atrium Kolsh (probably not spelling that right), which paired perfectly with the burger. Get the truffle aioli on the side to dip your burger and fries in. Really enjoyed the staff and the owner & his wife. Nice folks. The only thing you need to be prepared for in the winter is the cold. This is a rustic style place and it runs chilly in the cold. Can't wait to go back. read more
Great spot for some amazing American quality meats and service. It's a small place (seems like it was probably a fast food restaurant previously), and while it's not particularly a fancy place, the food is amazing, rich, and super tasty. They have a nice collection of standard and exotic meats (depending on what you're used to), including bison, kangaroo, and frog legs. We got the frog legs - nicely battered and seasoned, crispy, bone marrow (super juicy on the inside and crusted with seasoning and cheese), with asparagus and each a burger ( I got the kangaroo). The kangaroo burger is fairly mushy (cooked more rare than well), but is an interesting combination of flavor and texture. I've had camel before and I'd say they're fairly similar. Would definitely come here again! read more
