The Eagle has always been one of my favorite spots. It has yet to disappoint me. In the spring and summer, this is one of the best patios along Bardstown Road. But this time, we ended up eating inside because it was a popular spot that night. The fried chicken is top notch. The spoonbread is reminiscent of corn bread, and is so sweet that when you think you're full, you reach for another bite. The Mac and cheese is incredible, and the grits have a nice little kick to them. There are more sides that we'd like to try, but make sure to find someone to split them with! read more

My friend and I spent Thanksgiving Eve at The Eagle for dinner. I loved the ease of booking a reservation days in advance via Open Table. The menu offers main dishes (I.e., grilled cheese, white or dark chicken, drumsticks) and a variety of shareable sides. I ordered the 1/4 chicken of white meat which was a breast and wing. Delicious! They serve spicy honey on the side. For sides I was happy with the coleslaw and spoon bread. I'm looking forward to going back to try others. I also loved my bourbon punches (huge!). Service was fantastic. So friendly and accommodating. The vibe is casual and makes a nice starting point on Bardstown Road if you plan to visit other spots for shopping or cocktails. I wasn't a fan of the seating though. While I spotted longer short tables for larger groups, we were seated at a high top area that felt like we were sitting at the bar having dinner. It was an awkward spot to catch up with a friend for conversation and dinner. Maybe next time I can request seating preference on Open Tables. read more

Probably the worst service I've ever received. Really hard to enjoy the food when the service is so infuriating. Took 30 mins after walking in the door to even receive a water. Server never said please or thank you. You can't expect a tip if you don't do a service. If I could've tipped the kitchen crew I would've been glad to as that was the only good part of our experience. We got the whole fried chicken & a side of Mac n cheese, plus two cocktails & our check was $70. Would recommend getting the food togo since the servers so obviously did not want guests coming in. read more

The vibe of this place was so cool! Really easy to get a table for lunch on a weekend. Service was awesome! And it's very decently priced for what you get. The fried chicken sandwich was phenomenal!! I feel like the Cole slaw didn't have a ton of flavor and overall I think I prefer a sweater chicken sandwich. But I have to say this was the CRISPIEST chicken sandwich I've ever had. And I loved that it was on a hoagie bun. The hush puppies were sooo good. We also go fries. The side of fries can easily be shared between at least 2 people. It came with this really yummy garlic aoli. Highly recommend checking this spot out! read more

I'm never disappointed when I come to The Eagle! We came here on a weekday and it was busy but we were able to get a table. We started off with the Spicy Chicken Dip which was delicious and pretty spicy! For my entree I had the Fried Chicken BLT Sandwich which was so good and filling. I had to also get the Spoonbread which is so incredibly tasty and could almost pass for a dessert! I will definitely be back! read more

I've been to Eagle OTR and it was easily one of my favorite fried chicken places. You can imagine how I felt when I found out that Eagle was just down the street from the friend I was visiting in Louisville. We came here to eat my first night in town to try it out and I think that either my memory was wrong or this location is just not up to par. We ordered half a chicken and 3 sides. 1. Half chicken - here's where I was greatly disappointed. The chicken did not come out fresh and hot. The skin was not crispy. It was as if the chicken was cooked awhile before and then sitting in a basket under a heat lamp. The skin was soggy and the meat was a little hotter than luke warm. We thought this may have been a fluke so we ordered another 1/4 dark chicken and specifically asked the waiter of we could have one fresh from the fryer. When it came out it was just as bad! We ended up having to send it back. The hot honey was the only saving grace. The sides were still great. 1. Succotash - a great blend of veggies and flavor with the right amount of bacon. 2. Mac and cheese - plenty cheesy and boosted when you drizzle some of the hot honey on top! I could have used a bit more crumble on top, but still an excellent side 3. Sweet potato crock - filling, light flavors and not too sweet! For drinks I ordered the maple old fashioned and really enjoyed it! Probably one of the better old fashioneds I've had in my life. Overall if the chicken was done better this would have been a home run. Unfortunately since the chicken was the main attraction I'd have to think twice before coming here again. read more

The Eagle Louisville - Bar - Southern Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

The Eagle has a small menu, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Their specialty is fried chicken. I got the fried chicken BLT, spoon bread, the Mac and cheese, and the fries. The spoon bread was good, but the maple butter gave it more of a pancake vibe. The fried chicken sandwich was HUGE. Two of us split it. It was also only "okay". The chicken itself was tasty and well fried. This may sound silly, but the Mac and cheese was a little too cheesy? Maybe it was just too cheddar heavy? It tasted cheap. My friend got the sweet potato crock which she said had black pepper in it. An unsavory twist. The fries and aioli were delish! If I went back I would just pig out on fries. The service was great. read more

We were a party of 6 with reservations for 7:15. They took us right back at 7:15. The food quality was excellent and portion sizes were generous. The entrees and sandwiches were between $10-$16 without any sides. Sides were $6-9. Half salad $8. I had the grilled cheese ($9) and fries with aioli($6). Both were delicious and sizes were generous. Fries were enough to share. The service was excellent. Food came out hot and drinks were kept full. We will be back as there were lots of items I'd like to try. The only drawback was the music- it was too loud. read more

Wow. This place was amazing! Love the neighborhood where this was located. We got to sit outside and loved the cozy vibe. The food was amazing. We love good southern food. Fired chicken was excellent. Also ordered the fried chicken sandwich. Would definitely get that again. Got a few sides. Loved the Mac and cheese, horseradish potatoes. Would get them both again. Not a fan of the Cole slaw at all. To bland for me. Would love to stop by again when I town. Service was great. We had a big party and she rocked. read more

Great fries! Kids noodles could use some work, fried chicken was okay. The service was really good and so was the environment.

We went as a family and had an opportunity to try several apps and sandwiches. Everything was SO tasty and the portions are big. I wanted to try their salad and could barely finish half of my sandwich. There's lots of seating and it's laid out in an interesting way where there are multiple seating areas but they are all open to each other. The bar and restaurant inside and outside areas as well. The area has so shops to explore and is close to the trail. read more

This is a hard one. But I decided on four stars. Drinks were wonderful! I wish I could remember our bartenders name. I had the blackberry lemonade & another drink with Gin. (Show picture & I'm sure they'll know ;) ) The shrimp & grits are great! So much flavor. The greens are good. The Mac & cheese is very cheddar cheesy. The mashed potatoes are also great. Definitely a place just to check out. The chicken we really like & the hot honey adds to the flavor. read more

For my Son's 40th, a bunch of the family got into town the night before the festivities (bourbon trail tour), so we walked down the street from our Airbnb looking for something simple. The Eagle claims their fried chicken is the best, so we ended up there. Great choice. While no one ordered proper fried chicken, several us did get the chicken BLT. Also, several winter salads, and kale salads, and multiple sides. The sides were the biggest hits of all...fries, mashed potatoes, spoon bread and succotash. Everything was great! Nice beer selection too, and Quantez did a great job of taking care of us. An easy choice to make if you're in the area. read more

First time here.. cute restaurant. The staff was friendly and greeted us right away. The food was on point. They specialize in fried chicken, and it was delicious. The sides are sharable. ( big portion for a side). We definitely recommend. read more

Five Stars - Southern Comfort Perfection! The Eagle was so freaking amazing--I can't stop thinking about it! The fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The collard greens had that perfect slow-cooked, just YUMMMMY flavor that seriously made my taste buds dance, and the horseradish mashed potatoes? They hit just right--creamy with the perfect zing. And don't even get me started on the cornbread--sweet, buttery, and melts in your mouth. If you're searching for mouthwatering, savory Southern comfort food, this place delivers big time. Every bite was comforting, flavorful, and honestly addictive. We had an absolutely amazing all around experience--over the top service from start to finish! Co-owner JD made us feel genuinely welcomed, and our waiter Quinn was a total standout--attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make our Lunch date PERFECT! Do yourself a favor and GO! We were too busy enjoying our lunch & didn't get photos! read more

This place is always so good, very consistent! I went for the Fried chicken sandwich, with a side of the Mac and cheese and fries. The sandwich is sooooo good! Truly this is one of the best chicken sandwiches you can get anywhere! I will say, this did seem a bit smaller than in the past, so I'm glad I didn't get this to share (I had done this before with my partner). Additionally the sides are great. You really can't go wrong with any of them. The Mac and cheese is a staple anytime I go and is delicious. I had the fries as well this time and they were great, loved the sauce that was served with them! This is a great place for drinking as well, lot of bourbon and beer on tap. I had a nice tasting Guinness. Prices for beer are pretty fair overall. Service on this occasion was fantastic and efficient! read more

Went here on a Monday night around 9pm. Got an order of half chicken, shrimp and grits, Mac and cheese, and fries. The fries were my favorite lol. They were the warmest thing that came out, and well seasoned. Everything overall was well seasoned/flavorful, but the chicken and shrimp & grits came out lukewarm. The Mac & cheese was just okay, got worse as it got colder. Ambiance was cool, very low key for a Monday night. Friendly service! read more

The Eagle Louisville - Fried chix sandwich with slaw. Fries on side - Southern Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

The Eagle has become my favorite hang. The solid Southern fare and legit sides have been joined by a simple green salad, great green beans, sheet tray nachos and burnt end Mac & cheese bowl. Leave your diet at home, but bring your appetite. The big find is the pimento bacon burger. At a place known for its fried chicken! The 7 oz brisket and chuck patty also has killer onion jam. The staff is welcoming and efficient. The vibe and tunes (blues) and extensive beer list make for a place I return to many times a week. read more

Recommended by my coworkers, this is where we decided on for dinner-and it was a good choice. We made reservations so we could be guaranteed table. There were about 8 of ready for a food adventure. Our server, Faith, was super nice and charming and very helpful with our food and drink choices. I did find out that they don't have reposado tequila so, I opted for some whiskey which was good. We ordered the family style meal with the fried chicken, Mac n cheese. Spoon bread, collard greens, crackers and dip, grilled cheese sandwich, and I'm sure there was more. By the time all the food arrived, it resembled a thanksgiving dinner. Which tells me that this place is perfect for groups. The eagle has that vibe where people can come together over food and drinks just as families do. I'm eating Keto lately and found a herb roasted chicken that was phenomenal! Definitely grab your besties or family and come bring them together here and if you're lucky, perhaps Chef T will come out and do a meet and greet as she did with us (thank you chef!) I hope you have a great experience when you visit! Njoy! read more

Neat little joint the from what I gathered specializes in chicken... which is what I had and my wife had burnt ends. The food was good and I noticed a lot of people around us got some fancy Mac n cheese. We didn't have it but it seemed to be a popular dish. The ambiance was pretty neat. I'd definitely go back. read more

The Eagle Louisville - Eagle - Southern Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Great space for groups and always good for some excellent fried chicken. The food is always quality, starting with the chicken. It's hard to find truly good and consistent fried chicken (especially white meat), but this place nails it more often than not. Juicy, tender, and a beautiful crust with just a hint of peppery spice. You can get a whole chicken, half, or quarter (dark or light), or if the group is large enough, go family style with a variety of pieces and sides. Also some good sandwich options (chicken being the best...pulled pork isn't bad at all, just not as good as the chicken). Good variety of sides--I'll save you a little trouble, order the spoon bread every single time (if you've not had it, think of a light, sweet cornbread, topped with a melted dollop of honey butter), you can never go wrong with Mac and cheese, and I'm always a sucker for quality collard greens, and they do a nice job there (greens are always tender and tangy)...and there are some others. Bar selection is good in terms of beer (draft and bottle options) and cocktails (the maple old fashioned isn't the same since they dropped their candied bacon...which, by the way, needs to come back!). Space is excellent. Large patio with bar space, large tables, and fire pit tables. Upstairs is an ideal party room (seats about 25), and there is good interior space overall. Service is always friendly and helpful. read more

We drove 40 min tonight to have some of The Eagles delicious chicken. As soon as we walk in the hostess scoffs at us for not having reservation and they're not seating anyone else. I could handle the message, the issue was clearly in the delivery of said message. What a b! We ended up across the street at The Bristol. Been years since I ate here. Chicken tacos and Theresa pasta didn't disappoint. And they were friendly! read more

The greatest fried chicken Service was good and the restaurant is nice. A must try if your in Louisville

I ordered my food Togo as I am only in town for 1 night and wanted to eat solo back in my airbnb. I ordered online, the website was easy and user friendly. I ordered the 1/4 chicken dark meat, Mac and cheese, collards and biscuits. I scheduled for my pickup to be at 8:40pm. When I arrived, my food was not yet ready. It was not ready until about 9pm. I was a bit frustrated about that since there really isn't a place to sit and wait unless you go to the bar. Now let's talk about my dinner. Being that it was 20 mins behind, some of my food items were quite cold. The chicken had lost the fresh crispness and was a bit soggy. The greens were way too salty, and the macaroni noodles were under cooked, some pieces were hard. In addition to being undercooked, the cheese sauce was really thick, not in a super cheesy way but more like a cream cheese sort of thick. The biscuits were also cold but still decent. My air bnb was only 6 mins away from the restaurant, I don't think the food got cold on the drive. Overall, I think the food was a step above mediocre. read more

We ordered carry out on a Thursday evening and were sorely disappointed. We showed up a little after when they had projected our food would be ready and seeing no one at the host stand, we let the bartender know we needed to pickup. He looked put out and told us to go wait for a host, but there's nowhere to do so that you're not in the way. We eventually got our food several minutes later only to rush home and realize it was all wrong. We tried to make the best of it since we were starving after an extra long day, but only the collared greens were good and everything else was passable or worse. Between the poor quality food and the staff's poor attitudes, I can't recommend stopping here, which is disappointing because I thought the seating in the open windows was super cute. read more
