A great spot for a savory meal. The B&B burger was excellent and the Brussels sprouts on the side put it over the top. Would highly recommend. read more

When arriving I noticed it was a very popping place, lively & many people outdoors for the bar Nextdoor. The inside is like an industrial style bar & the murals & decor were interesting and quirky. I really loved their chicken katsu sandwich, very thick and tender. Nicely made!! I enjoyed their kale salad mixed with toppings. My partner order the burger and that was delicious, their patty is thin which I prefer for burgers & they had a spicy mayo and smoked ketchup which paired well with both entrees! definitely has a kick to it! I would love to eat here again & try other items on the menu, I definitely want to give the Cuban sandwich a try. read more

Visited Grind Burger Kitchen in Louisville during a family trip and had a pretty mixed experience. We arrived around 6:30 PM and were told there would be about an hour wait, which was fine--we're new to town, so we figured we'd walk around and explore while we waited. We were told to come back at 7:00 PM, so we did. When we returned, we were seated, but then told it would be another hour before our order could even be taken and our food brought out. That part was really frustrating--if we had known that upfront when we first put our name down, we could have planned differently. As for the food, it was decent. The burger itself was delicious and definitely the highlight. The fries were very oily but crispy--I personally liked them since I prefer well-done fries, but my daughter wasn't a fan. The layout of the place was also a bit confusing--it took a while to even find the restroom since it was tucked away in another area. Service-wise, I also had to ask for a refill--and only got one--which was disappointing, especially with such a big burger. Overall, spending close to three hours from arrival to finishing our meal just didn't feel worth it, especially with the lack of communication about wait times and limited service. Not a terrible spot food-wise, but the experience could definitely be improved. read more

I've been to Grind twice before, and had positive experiences, I was disappointed with our lunch today. Our waitress was lovely, no complaints with the service. I ordered the burger with pimento cheese and brussels sprouts for my side. I chose diner style (two well done patties), the meat was really salty but overall the burger was tasty. The brussels sprouts are suppose to be cooked in brown butter but they tasted heavily of balsamic vinegar. My partner ordered the Cuban and french fries. He said his Cuban was tasty. The fries were cold and covered in salt... For the burger and sandwich (no drinks) with tip, the meal came out to $50. Feels a bit expensive, extra disappointed that everything was so salty. read more

We had a great lunch here. I had to try the Cubano since it was on Triple D and my wife had the fish sandwich. Both were excellent and the fries were spot on as well. Service was very good and the space inside was well laid out with lots of space between tables. read more

Had a great experience here! The food was delicious! My burger was cooked to perfection! Burger had a hard fried egg, pork belly, and cheese. Amazing! The fries are fresh cut and paired nicely with the smoked ketchup. The tea... OH THE TEA! So. Good. We left full, but not stuffed. Do I recommend? YEAH I DO! read more

The atmosphere in Grind is dim and relaxing. The staff is just as laid back and hospitable. Although the interior lacks any sort of vibe that contributes to the food you are about to eat. You could serve anything in that environment, nothing really screams burger. I ordered a regular burger with whipped ricotta that usually comes on the adult grilled cheese. This cheese took my burger to the next level. It was the creamiest cheese I have put on a burger in a long time. The lactose pain will be totally worth it. Thinly sliced red onions also made the burger super enjoyable. The diner style are two smashed patties cooked well, this was good but the ends are burnt and don't make for the most appetizing bite but can be overlooked if you order a lot of toppings on your burger. The fries are the most shocking part of the meal. You know the fries at the bottom of a take out bag and how they are sometimes the best fries in the entire bag? All of their fries taste like those fries. The crunch is so good I don't think I even added salt! If anyone has a burger craving, Grind will cure it. read more

This was my first time here. Definitely a hidden gem. I love a good burger. A hip littplace , LGBTQ+ friendly. Diner vibes. With a bar. Service was nice. My server/ bartender was on it! I ordered the Grind burger diner style w/fries. 10/10. My drink was a Bruised berry bourbon however I omitted the ginger beer. It was so good! Shout out to Brittany for the bomb drink and service! Would recommend. They only lost a star because the selection of speciality drinks wasn't the best. read more

It's rare that I can walk into a slightly divey (I mean this in the best way) bar and get a satisfying vegan burger (one that is made in-house at that), so Grind is a nice surprise. I went for a quick lunch and sat at the bar. The menu has two options that can be veganized and while I wanted to try the kale salad, I couldn't pass up a housemade veggie burger. It's one of the best vegan burgers I've ever had and it isn't pretending to be meat like a Beyond or Impossible Burger. What would make it next level would be a vegan cheese or mayo, even avocado, to give it a healthy fat. And a pickle. Every good burger deserves a pickle. If you're vegan, they have a vegan bun but you have to ask for it. I ordered but the burger is SO good, that I didn't want a bun getting in the way. And you have to get the fries. They are phenomenal. read more

I'm not the type to leave negative reviews- if you look at my account you'll see- but sometimes you have such a negative experience, you've gotta share it with the world. Walked in on a Saturday evening- was excited, as it came highly recommended. We said hello to the person at the host stand- the person didn't even acknowledge us, let alone say hello! It was quite bizarre! Before we could attempt to interact with the host again, another person walked over, and without so much as a hello, just said follow me. We were shown our table, and though the place was empty, and pretty gloomy looking, our server barely interacted with us. I wish I could say the food made up for the horrific service, but alas, it did not. My burger was bland but edible. The veggie burger my girlfriend got was on a whole other level of bad. While the menu would make one think it was a fresh made veggie patty, it was simply a premade frozen patty that was deep fried, rendering the burger dry, tasteless, and inedible. Had high hopes for this place, but from the moment we walked in until the moment we left, it was a horrible experience. This was Saturday, April 4th in the early evening. Would never go back. read more

All the tables around us got burger, maybe that's where we went wrong? My partner and I got the chicken sandwich and Brussels sprouts..... holy SALT! Probably my least favorite thing I've eaten in years. If you go, just don't get the chicken sandwich read more

This place is so cool-looking from the outside. I went here for the first time in January and thought their cute patio out front would be a neat spot to eat and hangout. The inside is very cool as well- wish I had taken interior pics, but I'm sure that there are some in other reviews. I will say that the place is very clean and organized tho. Service was very good, really enjoyed our server. Decent sized menu- multiple items that I want to come back and try. I ended up getting the Southern burger and my husband built his own. You choose how well done you want your burger- but unlike other places- one of those options is the well done option- which is 2 smash patties- and I thought that was pretty awesome. I love a good smash burger and this one was great. The only thing that I'd complain about little about was the bun- it was too thick and harder than I would have liked. If it were a different bun, my burger would have been one of the best that I've ever had. I would love to see them use a thinner, softer bun. However, that won't stop me from coming back because the food is really delicious. Hand-cut fries and Brussels sprouts were pretty epic too. I really enjoyed this place. Would absolutely recommend it and will absolutely be back. read more

Just left Grind and went to Wicks in the Highlands. We shoukd have done this first. At Grind we asked a male server if he could ask our server how much longer our burgers would be after we had waited thirty minutes for them and had not see our server for ten minutes. Five minutes later, I see the two of them talking and I hear him say to her Fu## em to our server. To which, my wife and I instantly decided that Fu## em is not an acceptable attitude when it comes to the hospitality industry. Sad, place was 95% empty, no food, just fu## em attitudes. Too many good places to eat with good service in our city for that type of disrespect. Too bad you can not give zero stars.​ read more

My wife and I visited Grind Burger Kitchen recently. She had the Classic Grind Burger and absolutely loved it--especially the buns, which are to die for. I ordered the B&B Burger, and it was also packed with flavor and cooked just right. Grind really does deliver when it comes to burger quality and the overall cool atmosphere. However, the service was disappointing. Our food came out lukewarm, and our server seemed to focus more on the larger tables, which left us without drink refills or any check-ins throughout our meal. It really impacted the experience in a negative way. We did speak to the manager before leaving, and they said they'd talk to the staff. One other consistent issue we've noticed: the fries are just not good. They're always underwhelming, so I'd recommend skipping the fries and sticking to the burgers read more

Cool place, an affordable option in NuLou, quality hamburgers, fries and drinks! I always get "the chain" burger which is basically a dinner style smash burger. Great hand cut style fries. It's basically twenty bucks after tax and tip which is kinda crazy for a burger and fries. But the experience is always mostly positive and the food is always tasty. If you are visiting and spending time downtown louisville this is a great option. read more

I've lived in Louisville full-time for 3 years, but I started visiting nearly a decade ago when I moved to Lexington. When I met a friend in Louisville for dinner, he recommended Grind. I enjoyed my burger enough that it became one of my go-to places when I dropped in town, and I'm still trying new things on the menu. I've built my own burger, and also enjoyed the B&B, and Pork. All were good. And while they are known for burgers, they excel at other items. My wife loves their salads. Last time we went, I got the adult grilled cheese for the first time. I did enjoy it, but it felt a little too elevated to me. I'll probably go back to burgers the next time we go. The house cut fries did not disappoint. As for beverages --- pretty reasonably priced and a good beer/bourbon selection. This is a great place to bring visitors because there is usually always room for groups, it's right near the heart of NuLu, and it was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! Which I think is cool. The reason for 4 stars is that while everything is good that I've tried, I think there are better burgers out there for a better price. The ambience in there is also hit-or-miss because I've hardly been inside when it's crowded. It's a big space, so it can feel a little empty. That doesn't impact us as much because we always go up to the bar and chat with the bartenders. They're very friendly and have some good stories to tell. The servers are a big reason why we keep coming! read more

After our visit to Hermitage Farm, we went to Grind Burger for dinner. I wasn't particularly in the mood for a burger, but we went because it had gluten free options, and it was conveniently located for us. Prices weren't too bad, and the burgers were quite tasty (I had the basic "Grind" burger). Nothing special, but if you are hungry and want a solid burger, Grind Burger does the job.

Came here because of Guy Fieri and Triple-D. I got the Cuban sandwich with kale salad. Really liked the meats on the Cuban and the bread was pressed and nicely presented. The kale salad was a good compliment and at least made part of my meal seem healthy. Wife got the basic cheeseburger with fries. Very good and the fries were homemade and delicious. Decent beer and cocktail menu for the type of establishment it is. Good array of street parking outside. read more

Stopped on our way driving through Louisville purely because I looked on Diners Drive-ins and Dives and saw this was a stop. Of all the food we ordered we thought the Brussels sprouts were the best. They were sweet yet salty, browned to a perfection. Complemented the sweet of the Cuban sandwich which was tasty, tender, and filling. The B+B burger was delicious- a perfectly cooked med rare as I asked for with Brie and bacon, the jalapeño jam was tasty but a little too spicy for my personal liking. The server was extremely happy and personable and a pleasure to talk to! He recommended Old Forrester bourbon for me as I wanted to try some but am not a huge bourbon drinker and it was a good rec. read more

My friends and I were traveling though here and wanted a burger. We were super disappointed. To start we were sat quickly which was nice but that was about it. One of the first things we noticed was their pricing and super limited menu. Burgers were highly priced but came with a side which was nice. We ordered different types of burgers and everything except one burger came out wrong. The redeeming factor is the burgers and fries were decent but the server was not good at all. Over all we would not come back here at all. Overpriced. Not good service. Not worth it! read more

Great Burger. We went with a large group, around 20 people and the service was very good. Our drinks came quickly after we ordered. Our food took about 20 minutes, which for the size our group was good. The rest of the restaurant was also busy. Everybody was very pleased with the food. My Southern Burger was very good and cooked to perfection. The burger meat it self was very tasty. The side of fries were hot and tasty. I would return read more

Best Burger Buns (bread)!!! So I love a good burger and/or slider. The meat is 80% of importance and the bun/bread is 20%. Good burgers cannot be great without good bread in my opinion. My Southern burger tonight was great because of the bun provided here!! Server informed us that buns are cooked at the company's bakery. It was warm, soft, and delicious. I didn't give a perfect score because my bacon slices were a little disappointing, one sliver was all fat & I don't enjoy that. The pimento cheese was delicious on the burger but I prefer a little more. My mom had the fish sandwich & gave rave reviews. My bonus mom enjoyed her burger choice as well. We all appreciated the fresh & seasoned fries. Ambiance is low key and laid back. Seems to attract families. Server was cool & patient with my moms who were bourbon infused LOL! He also shared that there are other locations or restaurants under the same business umbrella. I'd definitely return here or try out the slider place he mentioned. read more

Grind burger kitchen is a burger joint located in the extremely popular and fun Nulu neighborhood of Louisville Kentucky. One of the few establishments in the Nulu neighborhood that has its own personal parking lot which is nice. I've had my eye on This place for a few years. I'm not a real big burger guy but I've heard good things, love the area and the exterior building puts off a cool and nice vibe. Finally stopped In here last night with my good friend and fellow yelper Jeremy J as we were in the area for a kid rock concert and both had this place on our "to do" list. While the outside is massive looking it is quite small on the inside. I do love the vibe and theme though. Very spacious with a nice bar area and a really cool and fun mural inside. Our service here was very good and quick. All workers were nice, prompt and attentive. Menu as you can imagine is mainly burgers and slightly limited. I personally ordered a b&b burger which is like a bacon burger with a habanero jam on it. It was a really good burger. A bit on the smaller side from looks but very feeling. The jam on it had a nice kick and flavor and the burger was cooked to perfection. The bun also featured a unique and great taste. My buddy got the chain burger and without spoiling his future review I think it will be safe to say that he has a pleasant experience as well. Overall very cool and nice place with tasty burgers. As mentioned in not a huge burger guy. I mean I like them but I'm not a "let's go grab a burger form a sit down establishment" type person. However, I'd absolutely come back here. I'll Add it to a long list of really good Nulu places to eat. read more

Triple D spot in Louisville's NULU "new Louisville" area. Parking is a little confusing, since the painting on the parking stoppers has faded away, but if you go all the way north into the lot those spots are all for Grind. I got the southern which has a spicy pimento cheese spread on it. The burger was cooked exactly to my medium rare request. Great beefy flavor, toasted bun, and not to spicy pimento cheese, NICE. Hand cut fries with seasoning were spot on too. My only complaint more fries, please. I wish 1/3 burgers didn't cost $16. Huge selection of bourbons, and they were doing Wednesday happy hour pint nights! read more

Years. That's how long it's been since our last visit to Grind. Our first visit was less than friendly and it kept us choosing other restaurants when in the area. I'm glad we circled back. We stopped in around 8p on a Thursday. Fairly decent crowd but we were seated right away by our server. He applauded my choice of a prickly pear margarita and he didn't lie, it was great. Both my husband and I ordered the Grind Burger. Nothing fancy, all the basics and a huge burger. Nicely cooked and juicy despite its size. Loved the fries too.
