From the outside, this place looks like a normal house in the Highlands of Louisville, which honestly adds to its charm. You enter from the back, and right away the staff greeted us warmly. We had a party of four and were seated quickly. The inside was beautiful with a great atmosphere definitely a cozy and welcoming vibe. Our server came to us in under a minute very fast, professional, and attentive. I ordered the cinnamon roll as an appetizer, and for my main breakfast I had the banana bread French toast, biscuits with eggs and cheese, and orange juice. The orange juice was amazing super fresh, natural, and sweet. The cinnamon roll was good (not the best I've ever had, but still enjoyable). The food overall was solid. The banana bread French toast was really good, the eggs were cooked well, and the biscuits and gravy were also very tasty. On the downside, one of the plates came out a little dirty, which wasn't great to see. Other than that, the place itself was clean, the staff was friendly, and the experience was enjoyable overall. Rating: 4/5 stars

Latte, sugar-feee option.  Yum!  (Background mug is seasonal pumpkin spice latte.)

Party of 3 adults and 1 child for a Saturday brunch after a 5K Urban Bourbon walk. We were famished. I started with a sugar-free latte and my pals each had a seasonal pumpkin spice latte and hot chocolate -- all parties were happy. Two split a cinnamon roll (gargantuan size!) and were very, very happy. I ordered a V-8 juice drink along with a brunch scramble of eggs, spinach, chicken sausage, mushrooms, and goat cheese, along with a side of skillet potatoes and peppers and onions. All items were cooked well and very flavorful. Everyone left here satisfied and complementary of the choice.

Apple cider mimosa
Kyle E.

First time eating at Morning Fork, and we had a great experience. We were able to make reservations online the same day, which I highly recommend. The restaurant has a back parking lot and on street parking - the restaurant is quite large with two indoor seating areas and outdoor patio seating. The menu is large with a big brunch menu, lunch and entree options and kid's menu. We started with the s'mores hot chocolate and apple cider mimosas. The hot chocolate was pipping hot and delicious topped with toasted marshmallows. The apple cider mimosas had a weird flavor, I would recommend going with another fruit juice option. We ordered the kids buttered noodles with waffle on the side - big wide noodles that were swimming in butter. My son thought it was too much butter but loved the type of noodles. The waffle was good - not very sweet but he enjoyed it. My daughter loved the chicken and waffles entree, but I thought the portion was a bit small for an adult entree. The chicken was freshly breaded but the waffle was on the smaller side. The sandwiches and soups were delicious - we had the club which was filled with ham and turkey and the perfect amount of mayo. The tomato soup was creamy and so satisfying. The Ruben was a good size and stuffed with corned beef and melty cheese! Overall we had a great experience- a bit on the pricey side. It was $94 before tip at lunch.

French Toast
Omanii B.

They make breakfast food in a very non traditional way, the french toast had nuts and i don't think it was even bread. Wasn't very sweet at all either. And their hashbrowns were quite hard and burnt. If you're wanting to try new kinds of breakfast items this place is perfect for that.

Amazingggg layout, the food is soooooo good here!!! Service was great! This is a must try

Mf'n Breakfast Sandwich with Chicken Sausage
Dewayne E.

Another good breakfast at Morning Fork!!! We had the breakfast sandwich with chicken sausage instead of the bacon, and the corned beef hash with hash browns instead of sweet potatoes, and no Bernaise sauce. They get busy quick and since we didn't have a reservation we ended up sitting at the bar, where we had the wonderful bartender Hildy wait on us. Then pace is small but cozy, and not too small where it fills like you're on top of each other. The food here is always good, and they have a different them every month. The them today was Halloween/Wicked. We like to visit Morning Fork when we're in town and staying in Butchertown.

Always consistently good! I love their monthly themes. Surprisingly good smash burgers!

Wow!! What an AMAZING spot! From the moment you arrive to the greeting from our server, the service, the extraordinary flavors of every dish we tried wow!! What an amazing spot! Great vibes, good tunes, no doubt one of our new favorite spots!! When here ask for my guy Aaron

Cold food left because of the overcooked egg.
Audra M.

Problems are going to happen, but we expect them to be corrected. The manager here refused to apologize for or correct the problemS with our charges. We ordered bloody marys with gin instead of vodka and were upcharged $20 without being told. That's $36 for 2 bloody marys. We ordered the special crab cake benedict and one of them was wonderful. The second had basically a hard boiled egg on it. We were charged for the egg recook that was not brought until the rest of the dish was cold. We had to ask twice to speak to a manager about our incorrect bill, and the manager told us why everything had been done the way it was with no apology. Our bill was $58.72 minus tip for the equivalent of one entrée and 2 drinks that were unfinished.

We had a great breakfast here! I first got a taste of Morning Fork at the Gravy Cup and I couldn't wait to try out their full menu! It was a grey day but still nice enough to eat outside and be seated right away. I never go for a sweet breakfast option, but the server's emphatic recommendation of the French toast swayed me. This was an amazing decision, especially with my husband ordering the corned beef hash. We really got the best of both worlds. We just sat on their patio, but I've heard they have cool rotating themes inside. We'll have to be back to check them out. Great brunch, would highly recommend!

The food was absolutely delicious, and the vibe was awesome! Everything had great flavor and was beautifully presented. Our server, Tammy, was amazing -- super friendly and did such a great job with her presentation. We'll definitely will be back.

Avocado toast
Cathy F.

One of my favorite places for brunch! The food is always fresh and so good! The owner is super nice and comes around the tables to make sure that everyone is good and enjoying their time there. Our server was very good taking care of our large party! I always enjoy their double mimosas and love their vegetable omelet. I really like the MFN breakfast sandwich too. The inside is small but they have a nice bar and a patio where you can enjoy their awesome menu.

Grit Bowl Entree, Skillet Potatoes
Neisha H.

I loved the vibe of this place as it was really cozy and everyone was super sweet. But the food was just not up to par. Small portions, not so much flavor, average presentation. The skillet potatoes were especially disappointing--they were pretty unappetizing. Probably won't give this place another shot.

Decent size hot brown, plenty of sauce, bacon a bit tough tomatoes delicious

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the creative menu options, friendly and attentive staff, and a cozy, charming ambiance. Drinks, especially mimosas and coffee, are also well-liked.

On a recent trip to Louisville, we stayed in Nulu and were looking for a walkable breakfast option…read more Luckily, Biscuit Belly was just a few blocks away. The menu is pretty large for a fast casual restaurant, so there is something to every palate or just about every dietary restriction. I had the delicious Edgy Veggie: Fried green tomatoes with mushroom gravy on a biscuit with an iced coffee. The coffee is lovely and there is a good range of specialty lattes (hot or iced) including milk alternatives for the dairy challenged, such as myself. The staff was delightful and friendly, and equally as cheerful was the decor of the restaurant. No boring gray here! Despite many options our second day in town, we decided to return the next day. I wish we had Biscuit Belly in the Chicago area!

Unfortunately our experience was tainted when an additional $30 parking charge was "added" to the cost of the meal. We parked on the side lot where there was a sign stated we would get our parking validated. When we placed our order and tried to validate we were told it was for the back lot not the side lot. My husband spoke with Casey, General Manager, she shared they were frustrated and this happens all the time. This seems to be very predatory and something more customer centric (signage) needs to be put in place. It is apparently a known problem that they continue not to address and it essentially ruined our dining experience.

My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came here two Fridays ago ahead of a bourbon tour (thinking, correctly, that we should probably have a hearty meal beforehand so we didn't end up face-first in a gutter somewhere). Several Kentucky natives told us that we had to try a Hot Brown during our visit, and since it was literally created at the Brown Hotel, this seemed like the logical spot. The actual Hotel has some gorgeous interiors, especially upstairs in the lobby. We didn't see that area until after our meal, so when we laid eyes on the Lobby Bar & Grill, we knew immediately that that was where we SHOULD have gone for this Hot Brown dish. J. Graham's, I'm sorry to say, doesn't have the history and personality of the rest of the building and just looks like a generic breakfast spot you'd find in any hotel. It probably exists solely because the other dining options in the hotel aren't open until later and they want to give tourists and their own customers a place to eat at all times of the day, which isn't a terrible reason in my book. But it's also unfortunately not very good, and the dirty walls and overall meh appearance of the establishment just make it very clear that the hey day for this hotel overall was decades ago. The service was the biggest miss here. Our waitress was scatterbrained, often not around or around but hanging out with co-workers or talking up other customers. It was honestly pretty mystifying because when she DID come by, she was often overly apologetic and trying to make amends. But the best way to make amends is not to have to keep doing that throughout the meal. She forgot my friend's coffee (didn't write anything down when we ordered, which is fine if you remember everything but...) and when my chum asked what was in the hummus (one of just three apps), she didn't know and had to go ask someone in the kitchen. That's arguably a nitpick and she DID try to figure it out, but the lunch menu is pretty small and it was a little odd that her menu knowledge was that limited. The bigger problem was that we were in there for over half an hour longer than we wanted to be because she wouldn't come by our table. I actually actively looked for her on the way to the bathroom so I could remind her to come to our table, but instead found her off to the side gossiping with other staff. Not a good look at all. So this might have been an overall positive experience if some of the hospitality from the hotel had spilled over here. We actually both enjoyed the apps, which were the only real positives of the experience. The Bourbon Barrel Fries and the Two Timer, featuring Smoked Bourbon Hummus (bourbon tends to be the theme of your days in this town, I've found) were both really good, and I probably ate more of those than the actual entree. The fries were cooked perfectly and were well seasoned/addictive. The Hot Brown was fine for what it was (we split it to try). It's basically a dramatic turkey melt, with slices of turkey coated in cheese and other sauces. It also came with strips of bacon on top, which on a personal palate level I didn't think really helped the dish so I barely nibbled on those. It's definitely a solid entry but it wasn't mind-blowing for either of us. Maybe it's just from where we come from in the Northeast, but I'm conditioned to like my turkey with accompanying stuffing, and usually in the latter part of November. I think it felt kind of weird to be eating turkey with warm cheese. But I'm glad we tried it and got the context at least. You might have a completely different experience with better service, but I'd still recommend going upstairs for any dining. It's a much better atmosphere and you can really appreciate where this hotel fits in the chronology of Louisville. You're not going to get that from going here.

Of the 10 friends only two said the food was OK. The rest were very disappointed. My food arrived 45 minutes to an hour after everyone else's my burger was raw and I had ordered it well done. I took one bite and threw it away. When Management came to ask how everything was I deferred to my other family members because I did not want to complain then they specifically ask me and I was honest. Instead of offering to comp or refund my meal, they offered to remake my burger, but we had already been there for 70 minutes and it took 55 for my burger to come out. They brought me a beet juice which was delicious. I just sold my café four months ago in Montana and anytime a customer was not completely satisfied. I comped their meal or reimbursed them for the purchase price. I love the people here. I love the concept, but today was a complete disappointment and I know nine people will probably never return.
