“ Great little find on the side street in downtown Louisville! Folks were wonderful For lunch, I had what could have been a basic burger and tater tots but the pretzel bun and seasoning on the tots were on point! Awesome decor and a speakeasy/jazzy vibe... Downstairs venue has live music in the evening. ”
“ I was pretty let down on our visit today. My wife ordered a cheeseburger with just pickles but it came out with much more. I ordered the pulled chicken BBQ sandwich and it didn’t have the BBQ chips that the menu AND employee said that came on it. The chicken was pretty dry, too. Because things are made to order, my wife watched me eat mine while waiting on hers to be corrected. We were the only people in there and there was only one worker. It’s a very cool atmosphere and maybe they were just having an off day. The employee was incredibly nice about everything. ”
