This was the last Chinese restaurant I had not tried in the area! I guess you save the worst for last?! The owner is super nice, friendly as can be. There's probably 8-10 tables inside so it is descent size. I was dissatisfied with my Beef with Broccoli. Typically it is fried with oyster sauce as the main ingredient, I just felt like my beef was simmered because there was too much sauce and it lacked the fried taste. I was surprised it also had carrots and chestnuts in this dish. Overall the potential was there, the sauce was good though. My fried rice was ok, the portion is humongous but it does lack flavor and has an orangey color to it. This place also has seafood, so that is a pleasant surprise. With so many Chinese restaurants in the area, I'd like to come back and try the seafood someday.

Always smiling employees and good food to add to the happiness. I recommend the dumplings but not the crab rangoon (too much outer shell).

Clam strips, sesame chicken, and crab rangoon in the bag.

On our second visit I was not as impressed as I was on our first visit. After reading my review…read morefrom about a year ago I ordered the pork papusa and did not really care for it this time around. It was soggy and pretty bland. And the same with the chicken quesadilla. It just had chicken it it, if there was cheese or veggies I could not taste or see them, again kind of bland. My son-in-law did enjoy his chicken enchiladas and it was a huge serving. The chips, salsa and beans with cheese they brought to the table, complimentary were good. Service was just OK. It took about 30 minutes to get our food once we ordered, we had to ask for more water a couple of times. The restaurant is a clean, bright and has a welcoming atmosphere with outdoor and indoor seating. Plenty of parking. Best part of my experience was the virgin Pina colada I had to go. It was served with whipped cream and cherries in a little bucket. It was pretty tasty.

This is a great addition to the Colonial Gardens family. We started with the chips and salsa,…read more which also comes with a warm bean dip. Amazing. The salsa is fresh and flavorful and the beans were delicious with fresh cheese on top. We had two rounds and were full before the food came! We ordered margaritas next, one jalapeno and one skinny. They are made with reposado, giving them a smoky, deep flavor. Delicious, spicy, sweet. We ordered the seafood tower to share, wanting to try something new. The seafood was fresh and well-prepared. Obviously we were so full of chips we couldn't finish it, but the leftovers will be enjoyed I'm sure. I wish we'd saved room for dessert, as those options looked phenomenal. Next time! Great service, great value. We will be back!

We were able to sit, visit, order and eat, have birhday cake (which we brought), open presents and not feel rushed or pressured tp leave the establishment. There are 4 resturants, a cheesecake vendor and a full bar insde the open air building all sharing the same dining space. My husband and I went back this afternoon for an early dinner . Over the two days we shared, nachos (loaded with bacon, chicken, cheese, and chives) a hamburger and fries, korean bbq and hibachi chicken. All were extremely tasty, with the exception of the Korean bbq, which was just OK. We went back for the hibachi chicken it was good good. You prder at onw of the 4 counters ,pay and are given a number to pur on your table. They then bring the food to your table. The chef from the hibachi vendor came to check on us adter we were eating to see of we were satisfied. That was kind. Both days they were out of egg rolls.

It feels like someone tried to make a ghost kitchen into a tourist attraction. Not a good combo. To steal from another review: who is this for? One positive though: I love that they provide sanitary wipes at each table to wipe it down yourself. Some could argue that should be the server's job- and it definitely should be, but it's nice to be able to do it to my standards.

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.

Well I'd classify this place as a dive bar in the sense of the word. It's definitely not 4 star…read morenoted and maybe not the best exclusive signage and overall 4 star appeal; but it a diamond in the rough, persa. This place is quaint, nice location (on a corner ) decent seating, not a big outdoor dining area, the bar is long and has the memories of the old day saloon. Now the food; terribly good! Menu isn't extensive but good items and variety that will satisfy anyone's appetite. It was Father's Day but as soon as it opened they were quickly filled with patrons and people kept coming; even waiting to get in. The fries in duck fat were awesome. Since so many baskets of fries like this for a long time. The smoked wings are great, meaty and savory. I had the pork belly tacos; my only disappointment was you only get 2 per order. The fine combination of ingredients were splendid and the pork belly so tender. My wife had the bbq pork sandwich on pretzel bun. Very good tasting and this was with no bbq sauce on it. If you're in the area, do yourself a a favor and stop in. I can't wait to go back ( as we live in southern Indiana) so might be a bit but definitely want to try a few other items.

For appetizer we ordered Hawaiian poke salad, the fish was not fresh at all!! The marinated egg that comes with it looked nasty af & they def froze it & reheated it. I do not recommend the sushi portion & I asked to substitute the reg salmon to smoked & the waiter did not know wtf I was talking about & I was sitting there like bruh. They do not serve smoked salmon on their menu which is crazy for a place that serves sushi, anywayssss. Their ramen bussing af, & the meat portions are insane. I ate mine all the way down!! My partner said my pork/chicken broth was better than his beef & imo pork ramen is superior! Portions are crazy & it was extremely filling!! We both ordered bobas & dessert, their green tea cheesecake is mild & subtle of flavor & creamy. I enjoyed my galaxy honeydew tea with strawberry popping boba that the server recommended, but it seems at the bottom they put chai seeds too? I'm not entirely sure what was at the bottom but it did add interesting texture! We def would go back for just ramen & desserts! Place was nicely decorated & I love the simple interior.

We got great service from our waitress Raven, who was a delight from the beginning to the end of the meal. We also had a great interaction with the manager who I think her name was Essie and she was also a delight. I had the fish and chips and it was amazing. The star of the dish though is the tartar sauce, which has a hint of dill and lemon in it. The hush puppies made with cream cheese were also a very tasty surprise. The dessert was a profiterole with chocolate and hazelnuts that was an absolute smash with my date and I. Go to Frannys for the service and the amazing food will just be a nice bonus.

Some restaurants have great food, beautiful decor, and yet you can still be left with a cold, empty feeling when done. For a great experience, you need both and you need hospitality that makes you feel like home. Welcome to Franny's Seafood. I was visiting Louisville and had the pleasure of dining here the other night. The food was solid, tasty, and well seasoned. I'm from Boston, so I know good seafood. I had no complaints. But there was something more. Their names are Etsy (manager) and Raven (server). Etsy hearing me talking about getting seafood up in Boston and Maine, so she came over and introduced herself to me. She even brought me a sample of something I was considering. Raven, well she's a ray of sunshine that stood out against the cloudy atmosphere of the evening. The food could have been decent and I would have still enjoyed the experience because of them. But the food was so much better, and together made a 5-star experience worth repeating.
