- JOJasmine Omo2 days ago5.0So glad I stopped in here for lunch. The service was great, Melonie took great care of me and ensured I had everything I needed. Now the food was really amazing. I had the Doc's half chicken with broccoli, cornbread, and succotash. It came out hot and looking delicious. Thankfully, it truly was. The chicken was so juicy and succulent and the broccoli was super fresh. Now I'm from the north so I don't eat succotash a lot, but this succotash was so flavorful. I would eat it all the time. The prices were fair and the portion sizes were huge. I'm very pleased!
- TTtheDSsucks5 days ago4.0I really wanted to love the bbq but it was fine. It was expensive, the service was great, even when busy they were doing their best. We had reservations, still had to wait for table to get prepped, but once we sat down we had a good time. Not an oyster guy, so can’t speak to it.
- SSSusie5 days ago5.0Had a short wait with no reservations on a busy Sunday night but there were plenty of chairs to hang out with a pre-dinner cocktail. Great brisket and pulled pork sandwiches. Highly recommend the old fashioned. Felicia was a GREAT server. Tip her well- she has six kitties to support!! 😻
- NHNakia HOct 26, 20254.0Our server, Maddie, was phenomenal. She took care of us and found out the information we were asking about the menu without making it a big deal that we were asking. The food was very good. We ordered the chili, fish and chips, sliders, Mac and cheese, and greens. We also ended with the bread pudding. While I am a very picky eater, I can say the food was very good. I appreciate our experience!
- CLConlan LangOct 23, 20255.0Was in Louisville for a work trip, and it was my first time ever here. Came here with some colleagues and genuinely, the food was amazing. Even for a vegetarian, there are real solid options, for the meat eaters out there it smelled and looked amazing. One hell if a bourbon selection, and one hell of a bartending staff to boot. We had Dee as our server and man was he great as well. Personable, funny, attentive, and just a great guy all around. If you’re in Louisville, come here.
