    Loaded stack - yes yes yes!
    Lisal F.

    Thank goodness Shahar is back. There has been an unfortunate recent trend of my favorite plant-based restaurants closing, so when Shahar announced they had returned bigger and (hopefully) better I was cautiously optimistic. The hype is true. We had the great pleasure to enjoy the Chicky Sando (a generous slab of crispy vegan chicken complimented by pickles, served on a brioche bun) and the Loaded Stack (fries, slathered with house sauce, vegan cheese, and topped with vegan meat and grilled onions). I've been searching for a replacement for V-Grits' Animal Fries, and the Loaded Stack is absolutely a contender. The inside is cheerfully decorated, with both table and bar seating. The staff is friendly, efficient, and helpful. Thanks, Shahar, for filling a void in the vegan food scene with such gusto and flavor.

    Checked out the new location with a friend and a time was had! We specifically went back because my friend (who isn't even vegan) was craving their plant-based burger. The bartender was super friendly and helpful as we made a few choices. The Mango-go-go tequila cocktail was super yummy and a nice combo of rich, smooth sweetness with a hint of fruit from a fresh mango puree. We were so hungry, we forgot to let our camera eat first (iykyk), but the burger and fries really hit the spot. I love having an option for fast food that's plant-based. The mac and cheese was also yummy-gooey-goodness and their plant-based chocolate chip cookies are a dope lil' sweet snack at the end of a salty quick bite meal. The ambiance is bright, airy, and fun. Plus, they had some really good looking cafe drinks I want to go back and try. They also had a backroom for performances, and comedy was going on while we were there! If you're looking for an easy-going place to grab a quick bite, definitely check out their new location on Logan Street!

    Ambiance 10/10 Food 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Service 10/10 Playlist 10/10 EVERYTHING AT SHAHAR IS PERFECT! The Kickn Chicken was zesty + a tiny bit spicy. I loved the combination of flavors they came up with! The Mac & Cheese was divine - A+ for vegan cheese work! Then that latte!! Yum!! Always appreciate when you can still taste actual coffee next to the caramel flavor! Can't wait to come back & enjoy the sheer fabulous vibes this place oozes!!

    The burgers are all vegetarian!! Whattt!! And I was blown away on how delicious it was. And the fries and strawberry matcha- what a treat! Definitely check this place out for a nice MEATLESS burger.

    Food and service has always been really good here. I do miss some of their old menu items like the samsa. They were unforgettably delicious and I still hope to eat them again some day.

    A guilty pleasure for vegans! All vegan restaurant with what I call a junk food menu- no salads here! There is a bar but you order food through a qr code and they bring it out to you. Shahar has a cool vibe and I love the inside. I really hope that vegans and non-vegans will support local and visit Shahar Cafe.

    This was my first time eating a plant based sandwich. It was delicious. The hostess was really friendly. The ambiance was nice and inviting. They have a larger bar for the drinkers.

    I'm so excited this place has come to the neighborhood!! The new brick and mortar on Logan street is decorated so well and the bar is a great addition. My husband and k had dinner here and the cocktails were so phenomenal, hand crafted, and the food came out timely and hit the spot (coming from regular meat eaters)... Will definitely be back!

    For those with ADHD and won't read past the first sentence...this place is a 9.5/10!!!…read more For those who read more than the first sentence...this is a service counter restaurant with no servers. You order at the window, take a buzzer, get your drinks and find somewhere to sit. We (a party of 4) showed up around 11 on a Sunday morning and the line was already out the door. We had a hard time deciding what to order because everything we saw coming out before us looked just as delicious as the last. After the owner greeted us and gave a run down while in line, we settled on the shrimp and grits, steak and eggs, bread pudding french toast with a side of bacon, and a chicken and bacon croissant sandwich. (I wanted to order the biscuits and gravy weekend feature but they were already sold out.) The girl at the register was polite but very soft spoken so we had trouble hearing what she said. The coffee was the perfect temperature for drinking immediately without scalding yourself, and the different flavorings and types of milk/cream to choose from was a major plus! There were no complaints about any of our food except the steak was a bit under seasoned. I had the french toast, and, in my opinion, is enough for 2 people. There was a bit too much whipped buttercream for me but I was able to rake off majority, and the fruit that came on top was so fresh! The bacon was thick sliced and 3 of my 4 pieces were cooked perfectly to my liking - not too crispy, not too soft! We all were part of the clean plate club after eating because the food was that good! I wished now we would have taken pics of our food before eating! It's a shame it came up as #16 on my Yelp search because it wasn't even the least bit on my radar for our breakfast spot. But luckily, the tag line, "The second best thing you can do in the morning", caught the attention of one our male guests Definitely will be back when the chance arises!

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.

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.

When it's said "they don't make them like this anymore", this place is what they mean. Ornate, elaborate and straight out of another era. I didn't stay at the Brown, so don't know what the rooms are like but if the lobby is an indication, I think it would be pretty cool. Stopped into J. Graham's on a Weds afternoon at 12:30. It was about half full. Service is quick and friendly. From looking around the room, it seemed that most people ordered the Hot Brown even though there is an extensive menu of other options. The Hot Brown is an open-faced turkey sandwich. A thick slice of turkey is served over thick-sliced bread. The turkey is covered with mornay (béchamel with Gruyère cheese), topped with bacon, sprinkled with parmasean and broiled in a gratin-dish, served with a roasted tomato. It's gooey and cheesy, turkey moist and tender, bacon crisp. Very hearty, very filling. Unique, definitely worth trying. Not sure I'm having another one, but glad I experienced it.

I almost always get the Wake Up Burrito, which is loaded and satisfying, but I've heard great things about the breakfast sando, chilaquiles, and pancakes from friends too. The space has a cool, artistic vibe, the staff is welcoming, and it's the kind of place you want to linger at with a second cup of coffee. Whether you're a local or visiting, put this on your list!

    I went to Foko after hearing nonstop hype about it being one of the absolute best breakfast spots…read morein Louisville. The place is positioned as this incredible Mexican breakfast destination, so I figured it had to be something special. Turns out it's just standard Mexican food and drinks. Even if they were using using "the freshest most highest quality ingredients", it doesn't show in the final product at all. Heres what i got: The Espresso Martini ($14) was actually decent--nice and foamy with a solid chocolate note. The Carajillo ($8), on the other hand, was weak. It tasted like plain iced coffee with zero detectable alcohol. I wouldn't order it again. The Wake Up Burrito $14: their biggest hype item. I got it and added chorizo for $3.50, bringing the total to nearly $17.50. It's sausage, cheese, eggs, and beans wrapped up--pretty good, but nothing groundbreaking. Without their green sauce it's completely average, no different from any regular breakfast burrito at a diner. The green sauce itself is what really the only saving grace, but they serve it in tiny thimble-size portions like they're guarding some secret recipe. So for $18 you get a medium-size burrito plus a couple of fried tortillas with cheese on the side. Compare that to mexican spot like Bandito, where the burritos are twice the size and cost much less. This one is seriously overrated. The Chilaquiles - I got the side order of these with the burrito, and were average at best. Just fried tortillas with cheese and a little sauce that had a slightly sour edge. Not bad, but nothing I'd call amazing. I thought to myself, if these had egg and beans(what the main dish has) , would I have been glad to pay $17? The answer is no. Ive had better at the airport. Bottom line: Foko is incredibly overrated. It feels like a tourist trap built for people for those Luisville people who who don't eat much Mexican food and think this is the pinnacle. I get it, the decor is nice and gives that "premium" feel but the prices are way too high for what you actually get. I won't be back.
