Burger Girl Diner

I paid $17.91 for a burger and fries. The fries were $4 extra, and when I opened the box, I laughed…read moreand took a photo, because are you kidding me? I don't expect an entire separate box of fries, but more than 10 would be nice- especially for $4! They were sure to tack on a $1 service charge as well, even though I was picking the food up. Burger Girl used to be a Louisville classic, but lately that's come to mean less "don't skip this if your life depends on it" and more "renowned for their awful food." As time goes on, I am honestly becoming more and more disappointed with Burger Girl. The point of a greasy spoon is to be cheap, quick, and filling, and Burger Girl misses on all of those fronts. For their prices I could go to a nicer restaurant with better food and a better experience. Honestly, as inflation continues to soar and quality continues to plummet, I find myself asking why I even bother going out, when I know I'll just be disappointed in the end. This might be the last straw for me, at least when it comes to Burger Girl. It just doesn't feel worth it anymore.

We pulled up to the diner and there is minimal parking in the front. But there's more parking along the side. When walking into the diner, we were immediately greeted. The lady was very friendly. We opted to sit outside and once she took our order, we had our food within five minutes. I mentioned how quick the service was and she did mention a Tuesday was a slow day. The seasoning on the fries are the best I've ever had! The burger was cooked to perfection with the buttery bun. I enjoyed my root beer with my combo. Very cool diner vibe. If you're looking for a great burger and fry joint, this will definitely not disappoint!

That line out the door at 11pm on a Saturday night, though.

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.

Paul answered the phone, and it turned out he is the executive chef. From that very first conversation, he was incredibly welcoming, confident, and accommodating, assuring me it would be no problem.

She was organized, attentive, and handled our large group effortlessly. Jessica kept everything running smoothly, checked on us often, and made sure every order was correct and timely -- all with a great attitude and a smile. Her service made a huge difference in our experience. The food and drinks came out promptly, everything was delicious, and the portions were generous. The blueberry muffins were amazing! We loved everything about this location and were so impressed by how seamlessly they accommodated our group. Highly recommend, especially for teams or large groups.

It's been a while since we visited Silver Dollar, I'm talking old ownership, pre-Covid long time…read moreago. And let me tell you, it's obvious there's new ownership, new style, new menu and all for the better. The decor was giving a Bakersfield California vibe right in Louisville Kentucky. Visually appealing, honky Tonk with a small splash of humor. The day we went, was a sunny spring, I preferred indoor - we were sat at a super spacious booth. Menu is one page but they absolutely nailed it. He ordered a Hemingway. It came in a beautiful copper coupe with a dehydrated orange slice. Classy, cool with a kick. We started with the Mexican Hot Cheese dip. It's not your typical queso -- this had chilis, onions, garlic, jalapeños as toppings and it was delicious. It was accompanied by house made chips. The cheese though... Hubs had fried catfish with the Nashville Hot option and I had a Caesar salad with fried chicken. Fried Nashville hot catfish verdict - Very good, very spicy, very crispy. Caesar with chicken...I stole a crouton off the top, "that garlic crouton was amazing, I could eat those like a snack." The salad itself was divine. The dressing is light, you can taste the green chilis without the spicy kick. I could eat this salad every day! Of course we had to try the Mexican crème brûlée. Super creamy, chocolatey with spice custard with a delicate brûlée sugar on top, garnished with fresh strawberries. Same restaurant, new flavors better service, awesome experience.

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!

If you're a fan of chicken fried chicken with gravy, this was a large portion. We tried the fried green tomatoes, broccoli slaw, mashed potatoes, and green beans as sides. The tomatoes came with a sauce and it had a kick of heat. We weren't big fans of the green beans, mainly because they took the flavor of the broth they'd been cooked in. The menu is huge. We noted we'd gotten a lot of fried items; however, The Goose offers more variety to avoid that. The space is large and can accommodate groups. The parking lot is shared with other businesses and has several spots.
