Someone brought their wings to a pitch in. Never being a fan of wings, I thought I would try them…read moreanyway. Much to my surprise I really liked them. Crunchy breading, juicy and tender inside. They were not spicey or dripping in any sauce, just regular breaded and I thought "I am going to have to go to this place soon" After doing some research I found that they have drive thru only for dinner hours. So I made my trip down Broadway to Chicken King and could not miss the big yellow sign nor the already 7 cars in the drive thru. Since this chicken has a otremendous fan base, I considered myself lucky to be #8 in line as others pulled behind me. The menu is packed full of items, so my first tip is to look up the menu online before you go...less pressure once you arrive...lol I ordered the 8 PC box (regular) for my husband, 3 PC tenders (that comes with 3 potato wedges) for myself and a medium peach cobbler to share. I was very disappointed that the tenders were not fresh nor freshly breaded. They were pressed and glued white meat formed into a tender. I actually only ate one, shared one with my dog and threw the last one away. The potato wedges were the star. I should have ordered more of those. My husband, who LOVES fried chicken was not impressed. He said KFC and Golden Corral has better. The peach cobbler was average. So, I am sorry to summarize our experience as not having a reason to return.

Check out her interviews on social media. My initial visit didn't disappoint. After placing my order waiting for my takeout out order, I enjoyed the old 70's soul music I grew up on from the loud speaker and reminiscing old times. The service and food are awesome with amazing prices. Some places are charging premium for soul food now. My pork chops were perfect and gave me an extra one for no charge. The side were really good too. High five to this old school vibe place. Plenty of street parking on this quiet road and will definitely come again. They are only open four days per week.

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.

As soon as I moved to the Louisville area and stated asking for restaurant recommendations,…read moreeveryone would rave about Hammerheads. Hammerheads this, duck fat fries that. I was going to a UofL women's basketball game and I FINALLY was able to make it here. I went a little overboard on the food, but everything sounded so good! I really loved the pork belly slider and the duck tacos. Mac and cheese balls always slap. Then there are the famous duck fat fries. The portion is substantial, I was thrilled with that. Flavor wise they did not change my life like I was hoping they would. Still ate them all. The locale is super unassuming from the street, but inside it is really cool, divey, and broody. The staff was super sweet and helped me get in and out efficiently so I could make it to the game. Would absolutely recommend, would absolutely come back, and would absolutely bring friends here.

4 stars. Best spicy…read morechicken I've had in a while. Definitely delicious. We also tried a few sides : okra, mixed greens, Mac n cheese, and sweet potatoes. Everything was mid. Decent but not delicious. Didn't try the wedges but they were huge and looked tasty. There are a few sweet treats in the case. Cakes and pies - very small portions - starting at $3. Reasonable, I guess. I had to google what a "keel" was... apparently it is part of the chicken breast or sumpthin. There's no drive thru or dine in at this location. But they do accept credit cards and Apple Pay, now. But there's also an ATM if you choose. Zero smiles from the employees here. Don't look for superior service. They are here to place up food and ring up orders. That's all. Ain't no music. The speakers just broadcast all the cling and clanks going on behind the safety glass. Good prices. Great chicken. No complaints here.

I just went to Indi's today for lunch around 2 o'clock. The service was very quick and efficient;…read morethe chicken was already under heat lamps and ready to go. It wasn't too busy, so the food came out in about five minutes. I got the 6-piece wings with a roll in spicy, and it was almost $8. Flavor-wise, the wings were very good. They were breaded a lot like KFC and even though they were sauce-less, they still had a nice spicy kick. I was surprised by how tender the chicken was, not dried out, despite sitting under the lamp. One downside: the wings were very small, especially considering they're over a dollar each and already prepared. Overall, good experience, but I don't think I would come back, given the small size and the price, especially compared to a sit-down restaurant.

It's a cool little place, today decorated with a balloon arch, probably left from a special event. We were greeted by a young lady who escorted us to the bar to pay. 14.99 ea is a bargain! I'll try to remember everything they had. Spinach salad, cornbread, potato salad, slaw, pickles, mashed potatoes, gravy, baked beans, kielbasa and kraut, cooked cabbage, green beans, Mac n cheese. I'm probably forgetting something? Then the meats. Baked chicken, fried chicken, fried catfish and fried pork chops, beef vegetable soup. Whew!! All delicious!!! Loved every minute. They did have some cookies on the buffet. They didn't look homemade so my only disappointment is that I didn't order banana pudding or peach cobbler to go!! They don't always have the buffet so call ahead or just go and order off the menu!! Yummm!

Old Louisville has a new go-to spot for wings, burgers, and more--and it hits all the right notes…read more The customer service is warm and attentive, the space is spotless, and you can actually watch your food being made fresh and fast right in front of you. The Philly cheesesteak is next-level: tender steak, crisp veggies, and bread that's soft but sturdy (no soggy sandwiches here). The real surprise? The fried chicken livers. I've never been a liver fan, but these were so crispy, flavorful, and well-seasoned they completely won me over. This isn't your average neighborhood joint--it's quality food with a cool, down-to-earth vibe. If you are looking for a spot that cares about ingredients and flavor, this place delivers. I wish I had the picture to prove it, but the food was sooo appetizing, I ate it before taking the pic

After I started working at home full time, I just never made it to that part of town so anytime I want charcoal chicken, Carali's is right down the street.

Thinking about it makes me sit here drooling. If plantains and green rice aren't the sides for you, check their menu. They have so many sides that you're sure to find the ones for you. Other appreciations: Plenty of seating. Parking garage(Free as of 2025) in the area. A nearby brewery if you'd like to order your food and eat it there. And if for some reason you're still hungry after eating chicken, there is also a decent pizza spot next door to add a slice to your stomach.

Rather, it was a nicely-fried medium to small-sized cutlet, with a yummy red sauce and a modest amount of cheese. But it was well balanced and good quality, especially for the price. It's become one of my go-to items to order! The service is helpful, but chill, which I personally appreciate when I'm just trying to be in and out.
