Restaurant recommendations in the Louisville, KY area?
My team and I will be in Louisville working next week. Any recommendations for restaurants would be greatly appreciated. We're obviously interested in BBQ, but also are interested in non-BBQ places as well since only a couple of us are sophisticated enough to eat BBQ for every meal.
Last fall I was staying one night at the Marriott downtown. The reviews of Doc Crow's looked promising, but I found they were closed when I walked over there (Sunday evening). They also have seafood, so that would round things for the others on your team. http://doccrows.com/
Finally ended up at Guy Fieri's Smokehouse. It's on a section of 4th St. south of West Liberty that closed off to foot traffic. There's restaurants like TGI Friday's and Hard Rock in the same block, and those kind of places are not my thing.
I'll see if I can find some photos from previous visits to Jog my memory.
caastein thanks for this great recommendation. Our team (10 of us) had dinner there and everyone loved it. It's like a dive bar with great food. We had an awesome time. Thanks!
I'm about 45 minutes south of downtown Louisville. You are headed to a highly underrated place for food! As noted, Doc Crow's and Hammerheads are good choices. If you're looking for a steakhouse, Jeff Ruby's. Jack Fry's is sort of an iconic Louisville restaurant. They have a variety of choices that are all fantastic.
If you like Cuban, which I most certainly do, there is Havana Rumba. Two locations, one in the St. Matthews area and one in Middletown on Shelbyville Rd. (U.S. 60). This is actually hands down my favorite casual place to eat in Louisville. A close 2nd is Eiderdown for German, American and German-inspired cuisine.
That ham sandwich I had for lunch today is wearing off quickly just thinking about all of that...

Steve R. great call on Havana Rumba and Eiderdown. We hit Havana Rumba on our first night and everyone really enjoyed it. The mojitos didn't hurt in making it a great visit. Eiderdown was one of the biggest hits of the trip. Everyone raved about the food and came away stuffed. The team said to tell you thanks for the great recommendations!
Bumping this topic for any recent recommendations for the Louisville area? My wife and I will be staying there next Friday night. I noticed Against the Grain was at the Windy City Smokeout this weekend but after reading some reviews on TripAdvisor, it seems they garner more accolades for beer rather than food.
The Against the Grain Sandwich Emporium got rave reviews from the rest of the crew we were with. Mussel & Burger Bar, which is right next door, made a damn tasty burger. You pretty much have to get a hot brown at the Brown, though the one at Troll Bar is also worthy. The Evan Williams Experience speakeasy tour is cool, and the bar is also. Third Street Dive is a cool dive bar, if you're in to that kind of thing. Gotta go back, it's a cool city.
