Was there this evening and the servers name was Allison, excellent service. Food was great had salad, baked potato and a 6 ounce sirloin steak. The drink glass was filled consistently, she checked on the table multiple times and was very pleasant and respectful to speak with. My neighbor and i go there on Tuesday evenings weekly. Would highly recommend eating there. read more

If you are looking for mediocre food and angry servers this is your kind of place. We walked in the door and got a dirty look from the sourpuss working at the front desk. We asked for a table for 4. She kept wiping menus and finally looked up and said "I'll see if I can find anything" she walked away and then came back grabbed some menus and started walking towards the tables without saying a word to us. We sat at a table with chairs that were wobbly and creaking. We waited a good 10 minutes before our angry little waitress came and took our drink order. We had to ask for chips and salsa which took her another 10 minutes. She was heard several times talking about how frustrated she was and that she couldn't handle even one more table because she has had enough! There were literally 6 tables with people eating and there were at least 4 or 5 other servers. Trust me she wasn't that busy. She argued with our friend about what she ordered. I asked for sour cream 3 times and never got it. It was just an awful experience and I'll never go back. She did apologize for being such a bad waitress when she saw her $2 tip but that was too little too late. read more

Tumbleweed Tex Mex Grill 4255 Outer Loop Louisville , KY 40219 1/21/26 We decided to go to the Tumbleweed on the Outer Loop. Wednesday's Special is a half pound Cheeseburger with a side. My husband chose Waffle Fries to go with his Cheeseburger and I had Refried Beans. Their unsweet iced tea was terrific. Our server was going to be Victoria. We were seated in the bar section of the restaurant. She was at our table before I could get my coat off, she was so quick. She took our drink orders and brought them immediately. We also asked for chips and queso. We really enjoyed the yellow Queso. She brought our burgers out and they were so good. They were cooked perfectly, the buns were really good. I took the lettuce and tomato that I had put on the side and turned it into a salad. I really enjoyed the refried beans and my husband thought his waffle fries were perfect. It was about 6:00 when we got there. It was bitter cold that night, but the restaurant was warm. They have a door that opens into a foyer that keeps the restaurant from getting cold. They are open til 10:00. They have a lot of Door Dash/Uber drivers that come and do pick ups. They also have a carry-out pick up door on the left side of the restaurant. The restaurant was clean and very spacious. The staff was so nice and we met Chris, the GM. Victoria was really sweet, was very efficient and checked on us a lot. She brought me an iced tea to take with me and brought me a box to take the rest of my food home. The restaurant volume was low. They had TVs with closed captions. Their main entrance to the restaurant was a long ramp on the side of the building. There were also steps on the front of the building too. Plenty of parking for handicapped and traditional cars.

Food was fantastic! We ordered the white chili with jalapeño cornbread, chile relleno (temporary item I believe) and beef burrito deluxe. All were hot, well portioned and flavorful. Our waitress was Christina W, she was professional, attentive and personable. The restaurant was quiet and enjoyable. Thank you for a great lunch! P.S. Please make the chile relleno a permanent menu item! read more

Our server Richard was very helpful. I got the white chili and asked for avocado on the side. But the surprise was that he poured the chili into a taco shell that made a great bowl to eat chili in. And the bowl became "crackers" for the chili! The presentation was great! It came with jalapeño cornbread, but I was more interested in the white chili...superb! Hubby got the chicken bacon burrito and he enjoyed his meal. We both want to come back more often! read more

This place is not good. I am a huge fan in general but this place was terrible. Our waitress was superb even though it took forever to get our food and the place was mostly empty. We asked for the fresh guacamole to be made table side and they obliged and It was great. However , when I got my deluxe burrito, it looked like it had been sitting out for a week. The sauce had dried up, the beans were crusted over and it was lukewarm at best. My nephew's chicken tenders were overcooked to a dark brown color. I can say the jalapeño cornbread I tried of my sister's was excellent but had it not been for the excellent service from our waitress I would have walked out. Avoid at all cost. read more

Nothing really special, but nothing really bad either. Service was a bit above average, but they were cleaning the floors why we were eating. read more

This place used to be good. It has gone downhill! Pretty sure we got the worse waiter possible. She was very rude took forever for everything. Got everyone's order wrong then blamed it on the kitchen when other waiters didn't have a problem with the orders being wrong. Had like inch long nails that she was digging in her ear with then proceeded to bring people chips that her nails were touching and I'm pretty sure that's against health violations alone. Forgot three different items in my whole order. Then proceeded to take 25 minutes to bring me my change. Tables are sticky and dirty! Not sure if they got new management but it's horrible. I won't return. Whoever that lady is they need to get rid of her because she ruined my whole experience. ZERO stars but have to put one to post read more

This place is hands down worst restaurant I have ever encountered Called in pick up order at 4:54 was told be ready in 15 min arrived 5:08 Informed them and they wasted no time collecting our card to pay said it will be right out long story short we finally left at 5:43 arrived home with cold dry (order wrong) food horrible service as well Manager (Heather) is awful I called her and she was rude and put me on hold never came back so I called Tumbleweed Corporate and left message Do yourselves a favor Do not waste your time or money on this restaurant Outer loop 40219 Location read more

Well we have lived here for a year and we finally made it over here to Tumbleweeds. This is an awesome place for lunch. Omg I can't say enough. We had a Jr. Burrito, Taco salad, and a kid's cheeseburger. Andrew was the best waiter, he was in top of everything and made sure that we had everything. He recommended the good stuff. The atmosphere was relaxing and inviting. The host was very attentive and sat us quickly. Thanks for the grub. read more

I've been to tumbleweed many of times in my life and I'm glad they re-done the building and make it look more modern it looks good summer when it caught fire probably about 15 years ago. But anyway it's it's right there on Outerloop offers a good selection it's your Southwest which means they offer a lot of Mexican dishes along with like steaks and ribs and things so you can get a Lotta good stuff here at tumbleweed it's still not my number one go to for any of it but it is good to have occasionally my wife doesn't like it so we don't get to go very often I wish she did because I'd like to go back read more

Haven't been here in years. The buffalo platter used to be so good. The new sauce they use is absolutely horrible.

Tumbleweed has always been at the top of my list for TexMex. I'm in love with their Beef Burrito Deluxes. They always have the perfect amount of beef to cheese ratio and the sauce is to die for. It's definitely something you can eat and open your sinuses up at the same time. That's why I usually order a frozen strawberry margarita on the side. Cools down the mouth. My absolute favorite part of every stop here is the chips and queso. Do yourself a favor and order the salsa with it and dip your chips into the queso and then into the salsa before chowing down. The combo is amazing. It's the only place I mix like that. The service here is amazing. The waitress we had was completely attentive and super friendly. She even brought us over a ton of extra salsa that didn't get eaten and didn't get mad when I told her my date was allergic to peppers and couldn't eat it. (Probably should have mentioned that before hand but we didn't think about it until after she had set it all down and left). read more

We frequent the shepherdsville Tumbleweed. We usually sit at the bar to eat. They have cold beer and a great happy hour. We ordered the Bogo 6 oz sirloin tonight and it was cooked perfect. The bartender/server Pauley took great care of us tonight and every time we come. The location is right off the expressway and surrounded by hotels, so lots of travelers. We enjoy chatting with people all over the country and even other countries here on business. If ur looking for some food, cold beer and company this is the location for u! read more

I have been coming to this Tumbleweed bar for many years and have met some great people. Our group known as the "Thirsty Thursday" crowd have eaten dinner and had drinks every week for years on Thursday nights. We have recently began listening to some our favorite music from our I phone speakers and using a child's microphone to have sing along while at the bar. The music is always clean, no nasty words only at bar later in evening when there r barely any people there. We were told we could not listen to our I phone music from our little I phone speaker as it was against Tumbleweeds policy. The GM was nasty and when we questioned his reasoning for this he called the police and had us thrown out. Several of my friends have emailed corporate asking for someone to contact us and none of us have gotten a response. It's too bad Tumbleweed didn't have the decency to respond to or make any effort to reach out to us as once loyal weekly customers. read more

Every time I go to tumbleweed, I always get the Chile Mango Salmon along with the rice and veggies. The salmon sits on potato Planks , which I think are very delicious.

We sat the bar on Tumbleweed on Dixie Highway and had the perfect margarita made my Kendall! Thank you!

So we have been to tumble weed before but not this location. My boyfriend and I came in to eat on a Saturday evening around 5:45. There was no wait. We were sat in a very nice big booth which I liked. There was plexiglass in between to help with social distancing. Our service was okay. She seemed a little overwhelmed and she was forgetful. The food was good. We usually order the same thing. My boyfriend didn't want any garnish and his good came out with two big piles of lettuce and tomatoes so he was a little disappointed in that. Overall it was an okay experience. We will go back for sure because this is his favorite restaurant. We do hope to have better service next time though. read more

Let me tell you something about this location. I have the upmost respect for the manager and the district manager of this location. A few months back this location had a fire and I responded for my job to offer assistance. The district manager Mohammed was more concerned about his employees than fixing the building. That showed me that he truly cared about his people and that is the most important thing with being a manager and way more important than any company coming in to do insurance work. His employees wanted to work so he employed them to clean the building. My hat goes off to this management. I have seen plenty of losses in my day and this was the most caring act I've witnessed! Many companies have moved on without batting an eye at the needs of the employees!! Mohammed and his team is truly a class act!! The ribs are good too! Ask for Brenda!! Rockstar waitress!! read more

Recently got curbside and was pleasantly surprised with the chicken chimichanga meal and my husband was pleased with his beef burrito enchilada style meal. Rice and beans were also better experience than the last time we had carry out. Glad we gave it another chance. read more

I should have known better than go to tumbleweed in fern creek, my son wanted to go, We once went to outerloop, terrrible food, salad was not fresh, and the main meal was disgusting, yesterday went to tumbleweed in fern creek, NO BETTER, the tortilla chips were not fresh, very old, the queso taste horrible, and the burritoe was disgusting, I willl never ever go to a tumbleweed again. read more

I don't know why Tumbleweed has such bad reviews! My family and I used to eat here two or three times a week, but we've obviously cut back because we started to branch out. Most of the servers are very attentive, and we even have a usual waitress who knows our names and order by heart. Anyway, there is almost never a wait to get a table. If you're over 22 and just ordering margaritas, you can sit at the bar or get a table. Sitting at the bar may be better if you're just ordering drinks, so you don't look bad for not ordering food. Tumbleweed has great service, great food, and great frozen margaritas (they're not very strong, though). The food is usually above average, comes out in a fair amount of time, and is very reasonably priced, all of which depend on what you order. read more

Sht service... walked in @ 5:30PM and no one was available to greet anyone at the door. I finally caught someone's attention and informed them I wanted to place a to go order. They told me to sit at the unattended bar. I asked you f someone was working the bar and was told they would call someone... I sat for about 15 minutes and watched the manager pass me 3 times, a couple of waitresses... and I said, fk that. I walked across the street to Craker Barrel instead. read more

Where to start? We walked into Tumbleweed at 12:30 and waited five minutes. No one on the floor and no one at the host desk. Finally, I called the restaurant; when the phone was answered I explained we were waiting to be seated. Poor flustered server was up directly and we were seated. The Avocado Chicken tacos were populated with a few strips of previously frozen chicken and four tiny cubes of avocado. Companion had the Junior burrito. A white tortilla filled with unseasoned chicken and nothing else. Probably the worst Tex-mex I've ever had. How long will Tumbleweed be around? read more

This place is clean people are friendly, However My lunch was just gross and it wasn't a lunch special!!! I ordered the Red chimichuri CHICKEN chimichanga!! Chicken, where was the chicken?? There were A few and I mean few, shreds of chicken but not much! Mostly rice? Nasty is all can say about this meal! When you claim chicken , at least put some chicken in it, or don't charge so much for the rice! By the way I cut the ends of non-filled soft tortilla off. This was so sad for the the price I paid. ! Never again. A salad is a better choice! read more

To be honest I don't even give it the star I had to choose to leave this review! The hostess left us standing since the server in the area she was seating us in said something about not seating us in his area so she seated the ppl behind us while we just stood there. Once we were seated the waitress we had was a complete joke... the food was nasty and not very tasty. The glasses had serious water spots on them and it was just an overall bad experience! This is 2 in 1 for... my first and last time eating here! read more

I ordered a house salad, they serve the salad on a plate that is hot, the lettuce was wilted before I was done eating, plus a thimble size cup of salad dressing, not near enough. Also the table, booth we were seated smelled like urine. read more

Dinner at Tumbleweed. I had the breaded tenderloin sandwich with side of fries. The sandwich was mediocre at best. Took forever to get our food and they brought the wrong burrito to my son. They did correct the error fairly quickly. They do offer military discount. Waitress was ok but clearly overworked. They need to hire more wait staff although the slow response of getting the food was more a kitchen issue. I was not impressed and I think there are too many other places that are much better. At least we didn't have to wait for a table when most other places had one hour plus wait. read more

Fair product. Decent service. This was a one time visit while traveling from Florida to Chicago. I won't make a second visit.

I had the Tumbleweed salad with grilled chicken. It had little cut up onions on it which I wasn't expecting, but overall it was good and the lettuce was fresh. Our server was very friendly and kept on top of the drink refills. The bathrooms were terrible - out of 3 stalls only one locked and everything was dirty. I wouldn't eat here again simply because if they can't keep the bathrooms clean you have to wonder what the kitchen looks like. Visited: April 16, 2011 read more

Had a free appetizer coupon from a Louisville game and paid $1 for margarita. My spouse and I left them both on the counter a one bite and one sip test. Need I pontificate any further? Can't believe anyone goes here with all the great Mexican restaurants in The Ville. read more

I was very pleased with my meal. The pulled pork was delicious and the grilled veggies were out of this world. I definitely enjoyed my meal

I remember growing up how good Tumbleweed was. Every time I have visited in the past several years, it seems that the food quality continues to go downhill. They appear to have transitioned away from their original food vendor. Their delicious queso now has a slightly bitter taste. The best restaurant tortilla chips, have been replaced with these small flaky tasteless chips. My favorite menu item, the chicken chicken chimichanga, has less chicken, no chiles, too little pepper, and lacks the crispy crunch it once had. The potato skins are completely different and in no way any improvement whatsoever. It seems once the original owner retired, they started replacing the menu items with cheaper less appealing options. On the plus side, I never have to wait for a table any more. read more

If you want to be treated like trash, this is the place to go! Ordered on line for pick up at 6. Supposed to be ready by 630. 650 we were still waiting. Already paid ahead and tipped almost $5 on my card or we would have left. The best part is there was no apology for their mistake, instead we were treated and talked to like crap bc we had enough nerve to keep asking. I'm throwing my food away bc after how we were spoke to, I don't trust they didn't do something to my food. Hey if you're busy and behind, I get it but don't talk to your customers like crap... we pay your bills w servers making $2 an hour on their jobs. thats why I never put the full tip on card, I have cash waiting if service is good. I will be making a complaint to corporate w the names I have. read more
