    Oh boy what a treat! My husband and I were attending a festival today downtown and decided to seek out something interesting for lunch. My hubby had a friend who had highlighted this place so we decided to give it a try. Saturday afternoon was pretty quiet but it assume there is a lot of business weekdays as it is located next to the entrance to Brown-Forman and other businesses for lunchtime. The soup special was smoked turkey and cabbage. We split a large bowl. It was more wonderful than expected. In addition to large turkey chunks and cabbage, it had small potato cubes, green peas, carrots in a delightful broth. I ordered fried catfish off the menu with sweet potato casserole and Mac and cheese as sides. The catfish was perfectly crispy with homemade, yes, homemade tarter sauce on the side. That and a little Franks red hot and I was happy. Sweet potatoes hit the spot and provided the sweet to the savory. And the Mac and cheese was made with real cheese! Delish. My husband ordered off the Saturday specials menu and got rib tips, green beans and potato salad. Rib tips were delicious and plentiful. Green beans were southern style and potato salad was the mustard variety. We just basically shared all our food and had a delicious and filling meal. Now on to the couch for football and food coma! The staff was wonderful. Big Hopps himself stopped by several times to check on us. Our waitress was friendly and extremely attentive to our needs. Y'all need to get over here! Give Big Hopps some love and he will return the favor with some of the best southern food around!!

    In the heart of Louisville (Louville) is a local favorite and the food is amazing, off the w chain, slap yo mama good. Out here for a sad occasion and discovers this little jewel. Soul food at its best. $10 specials with free small drinks, on Sundays. Lots of food cooked to order like fried chicken. Sides like Black Grandmama's use to make. I ordered the "Smothered Pork Chops", my wife 2 pc fried chicken. Sides were greens, Mac n cheese and rice with gravy. Tears actually came to my eyes as I enjoyed this amazing food. Dine in, or To-Go, it's all good. So y'all come on down to "Big Hops", ya won't be disappointed. Michael C. Georgetown, Texas

    I could barely take this picture before I inhaled this food. The ride home was torture. But the wait was soooo worth it. This was so good! Had the catfish with spaghetti, a side of Mac and cheese. Partner had the 4 wing dinner with fries and green beans. All amazing! Ladies at the front counter were delightful! Will be back!

    Love this place!! Visited on a weekday for lunch and were…read moreable to get seated right away. (Also lots of parking because it's at a mall). The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is casual but super comfortable with a lot of natural light inside. We ordered a blackberry lemonade which was pretty good, not super strong blackberry flavor. The grilled cheese is amazing--such a great combination of sweet and savory and super cheesy. The dipping jam is the best part! The Mac and cheese is one of the best I've ever had. It's crunchy and has a good deep flavor. The chicken was pretty good--nothing crazy, but I expected it to be crispier. Collard greens were a good side to balance it a very carb-heavy meal. Prices are pretty reasonable. Overall had a great experience--will definitely be back for the Mac and grilled cheese!

I first came here because they had ballast point sculpin on tap. After they pulled back (ballast point) out of the east/mid west I was happy they replaced it with cigar city Jai Lai. Not sculpin but delicious as well. About 18 months ago maybe more they dropped Jai Lai and now they have 1 IPA on draft. The food was ok. Got the chicken sandwich. Lots of breading not lots of chicken. Didn't want the spicy mayo and asked for mustard, they don't have mustard. Who ever heard of a restaurant that doesn't have French's in a squeeze bottle. Bartender was nice and it's a great sized and pleasant environment just very disappointed in the ipa selection and the quality of the chicken vs the price. Friday evening and pretty sparse crowd. Good luck folks.

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

I was going to a UofL women's basketball game and I FINALLY was able to make it here. I went a little overboard on the food, but everything sounded so good! I really loved the pork belly slider and the duck tacos. Mac and cheese balls always slap. Then there are the famous duck fat fries. The portion is substantial, I was thrilled with that. Flavor wise they did not change my life like I was hoping they would. Still ate them all. The locale is super unassuming from the street, but inside it is really cool, divey, and broody. The staff was super sweet and helped me get in and out efficiently so I could make it to the game. Would absolutely recommend, would absolutely come back, and would absolutely bring friends here.

I visited this location to meet up with friends having dinner. They really enjoyed both of their dishes. The chicken carbonara is always a stand out here. They also shared a salmon appetizer however, I heard them both remarked how seasoned and salty it was. The patio is quite large. We had made a reservation, and although we requested to sit there, that didn't happen. A table for two was the only option. So we replaced inside near a window, which was as close to being outside as you could be, but be forewarned. It will be a warmer seating area with the sun coming through the window. The speakeasy downstairs looked enjoyable. I loved the lounging couches and chair chairs when you first went down the steps. It offers a particular vibe without it necessarily being hidden or extremely dark inside. Put this on your list as your destination spot or to grab a cocktail before or after a show downtown. Parking is street parking, which is competitive for all the other venues around the area. Make sure to download your parking app because most of it is metered until a certain hour of the evening.

It's a cool little place, today decorated with a balloon arch, probably left from a special event. We were greeted by a young lady who escorted us to the bar to pay. 14.99 ea is a bargain!

I'm probably forgetting something? Then the meats. Baked chicken, fried chicken, fried catfish and fried pork chops, beef vegetable soup. Whew!! All delicious!!! Loved every minute. They did have some cookies on the buffet. They didn't look homemade so my only disappointment is that I didn't order banana pudding or peach cobbler to go!! They don't always have the buffet so call ahead or just go and order off the menu!! Yummm!
