We asked a local person for a recommendation and they mentioned this place. We called ahead to make sure they had availability-no need to worry, plenty of seats were available. Live music was scheduled but not until later-they said it fills up then. We ordered Rumpke Nachos-lots of toppings, they were really good. Service was good, prompt. read more

Back again at the squirrel to beat the heat. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice place to chill for a bit after work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bartender was super accommodating to whip a bourbon milk punch and it was so refreshing! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Shame it's a lil too hot to hang outdoors on their patio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Next time. read more

We had a group of 5 and were looking for a fried fish meal specifically. My friend told me they had fish and chips and a fish sandwich for Lent, so he and I took our kids. Menu has plenty of options and family friendly. Our server and service overall was terrific!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good vibe![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The fish sandwich and hush puppies was what I chose and it was delish! I got the fish extra crispy, which I recommend. My daughter got the pizza and really enjoyed it. My son had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and thought it was delicious. My friend had fish and chips and it was enough to take half home. His son got a burger (can't remember which one) and really liked it. I'd return! read more

Had lunch with a friend and we enjoyed our visit. I would recommend and would return. Menu had several things that looked worth trying.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice sports bar with a great atmosphere for watching games and enjoying live music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Although it wasn't very crowded during my visit, my food still took quite a while about 45 minutes for just a burger and an order of mozzarella bites. That said, the Moon Mozzarella Bites were pretty tasty. The Truffle Burger was just okay; not bad, but I'd probably try something else on the menu next time. read more

My sister-in-law, and I along with my niece had lunch today at the blind squirrel. It was the first time that I've been there, but my sister-in-law and niece had been there.before I had a cheeseburger and their onion rings. My sister-in-law had a salad and my niece had a cheese fries. It was all very good the amount of cheese fries that my niece got was unbelievable. They gave her enough for three people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was neat. They had a bandstand at one end of the room. They have TVs to watch your favorite sporting event.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would like to go back again. The restaurant is located on US 42 in Florence Kentucky keep up the good work read more

Excellent food and drinks for a decent price. Took a little longer to get that food due to something being wrong on the first pizza. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the interior and the general vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I definitely want to try the booths sometime![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The lot is on the smaller side and is shared with other businesses in the strip. Half the lot has signs saying restaurant customers can't park. read more

Was there Sat, Jan 31for lunch with high school friends. Amanda was our server. She was great! Put up with our bunch of old guys with grace and humor! Food was good and reasonably priced. Recommend it! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Poor service, nasty food, over priced snooty 2nd class place they need to learn how to treat there customers[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Food was very bad! I have always had a good experience in louisville but the florence store was no good...[[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere was nice[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but the rest of this experience was lacking! Our server seemed bored and uninterested in our table of four. Sorry to say I won't be back. read more

Asked twice for simple salt and pepper. Finally someone asked and responded. I get it don't be petty but add to the fact that the sammie tasted like stale crap. The lack of service when they were not that busy. I can give a lot of leeway but. Come on. You pay for a service not crappy food and poor service. I would not recommend the food we picked nor the service we received but maybe your experience will differ from ours. read more

Giving this place a 4.5 rating for lunch. We split a Club sandwich with bacon and 2 sides. One side was mac and cheese, and the other side was onion rings. The sandwich was plenty for 2 people and the sides were very tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the open air feel and would love to watch a ball game here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were just passing thru Florence KY and stopped here for lunch. I was not disappointed at all. Service and atmosphere were right on. Highly recommend for food and drink. The stocked bar was very impressive. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Blind Squirrel was a delightful bar/grill place we recently found in Florence Kentucky.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had the bar food that you would expect as well as a bunch of burgers as well as pizzas as well. I tried the Louie's Cheese Pizza which was a very thin crust pizza with a very good amount of cheese on it. The cheese was excellent and their sauce was pretty good. Even as a big fan of thin crust pizza this one was almost too thin and kind of cardboard like. I was able to fold it like New Yorkers like to do as it very close to like a Totino's pizza crust. A good pizza but could've been a bit better in my opinion. I also tried some boneless wings with Buffalo sauce. The chicken was a really good size, perfectly cooked, and had an extremely tasty Buffalo sauce. Not overly spicy but very flavourful. My wife very much enjoyed her salad as well so yay for that. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was excellent and the restaurant was very cleand and very snazzy looking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was a really nice lunch and I look forward to coming back. read more

We had a good experience. Great inside space & A lot of TVs. There's plenty of food options to choose from. I loved that they had a mock-tail menu. I got the blackberry mock-tail & it was a little too sweet & sour for my liking but they had a lot of other good options. They also had a wide variety of draft beer. We got the Beef Nachos for the appetizer & it was piled high. They were really good. My strawberry salad was so good. I added grilled chicken & requested Romaine only instead of the greens. The only thing I would recommend is asking for the dressing on the side. My husband got the chicken tenders. They were your basic standard tenders but he loved the twister fries. Our friend got the fish tacos blackened and loved them. They looked really good too. Oh, the Brussel sprouts were good but a little too big for our personal preference. Good flavor. Overall a great experience. read more

We have been coming here weekly for months. I have surfed the menu and liked just about everything I've had. The monthly drink specials are fun! There is one server that has forgotten our appetizer three visits in a row so that's annoying- but we never have room by the end regardless! Rumpke Mountain nachos with beef are kick ass! The restaurant is always clean, and if you like the louder popping/drink and social vibe, Friday and Saturday nights are for you- just don't be in any kind of hurry for food/cocktails on these nights. The games are always on. Week nights are chill and you do get much better service. They recently changed there menus a few weeks ago and it seems they really put a lot of thought into it. Got rid of the mediocre stuff and got some new delicious, unique entrees. read more

I'll be honest, the name "Blind Squirrel" made me chuckle, and the reviews indicated this place was pretty good, so we tried it out. We had 5 people in our group. All our dishes were excellent except the chicken cordon bleu sandwich. It needed some sauce or something because it was very dry. However, everything else was exceptional. I got the fish tacos, blackened - excellent. My wife wound up eating them, and I inherited her dry Chicken cordon bleu. The Philly was phenomenal. The chicken wings were an absolute hit. They were cooked perfectly. My daughter got the fish and chips. It was good, but the batter on the fish looked a little more like just Southern fried fish. She finished the entire thing, so there were no complaints. We didn't order appetizers, but the tables next to us did, and they looked so good we wished we had just ordered all of them and split them around the table. Our waiter was fun, although super busy. It took a while to get him back around to our table, but he was running all over the place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]TVs are everywhere. They had live music, which usually means the music is incredibly loud, but they had it turned down enough that you could hear the music, but still have a conversation at the table[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, this place was a fun date night location or a great place to meet friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If I lived in Florence, I'd have this place on my list of favorite restaurants to visit regularly. read more

We had a party of 14 for my Dad's 75th birthday party. Our table was ready when we got there and didn't have to wait. The food and service was great, especially that was Derby Saturday. Everyone loved their food, burgers, pizza, wings, fish, bbq, fries, etc. it was all very good. Open air garage doors made it very enjoyable. For a great casual meal I would highly recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Limited food selection, but the environment is fun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have a huge selection of drinks and beers.

I ordered the nachos. So huge we ate less than half! My friend got the fish and really enjoyed it. I got the sliders. Very tasty, especially with the curly fries. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good place to eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

A fun with a good menu. We had the nachos, which were good and HUGE.. easily could be a meal for two. Service was good and they had several beer options. They also had Chive TV and Chive Trivia which kept us well entertained. I would definitely like to go back to and try more of the menu. The decor really makes it feel like more than a bar, but still casual enough to have a good time. read more

Great place to eat! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice family atmosphere outside for family time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is good. Only been there one with a friend. Split an appetizer with a friend and still had left overs read more

This place is the product of a bar restaurant having a baby with a coffee shop! You have the full bar, great restaurant food, there are sofas to lounge on, live music, and just a fantastic atmosphere. Honestly, this is going to turn into one of my favorite spots to go. I came here at the recommendation of a friend and have no regrets. Great food, good beer selections, accommodating staff, and clean facility. I had a cauliflower pizza with pepperoni and had to ask the waitress if it was really cauliflower!? It was so good, and I literally had to go back for another. Heather and Diana did an amazing job at the bar serving when I was there. I will say that its a great place for a laid back night, a group gathering, or for the family. They had live music tonight and seem to have a steady crowd. I only wish they were open later than 11p but overall that's not even a big deal. Can't wait to be back :) read more

We stopped in for lunch and to check it out. Food was the typical bar food, pricey and charges xtra for celery with the wings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was really good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Bartender was giving slow service. May be better on the weekends read more

Blind Squirrel has a large layout of indoor booths and outdoor seating, which is great for a summer day - they often utilize the garage doors for a more open setup. The Boursin Chicken Sandwich is my go-to order and it's delicious. I usually order with fruit as a side but their loaded twister fries are good as well. read more

I can't review the food because we never got to order. We were seated by the host and after 10 minutes of having a variety of servers pass our table with no acknowledgement...we left. They weren't that busy so I don't understand why we were never approached. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's too bad because this place looked really cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our kids moved to this area and we were looking for a local place to he able to come to when we visit. Unfortunately I don't think the Blind Squirrel will be that place for us. read more

I believe this business has been open for a month or two. I am glad I finally took the time to go. The restaurant is huge and has two large bars and plenty of larger tables for groups. Our waitress was adorable and gave us great suggestions. I ordered the chicken salad in a spinach wrap with a cucumber salad. Very good sandwich and the salad was so refreshing and had so much flavor. The weird part was the hard boiled egg wrapped in bacon on top of my sandwich. Overall a great experience. Will definitely bring my husband next time read more

Okay, I'm not sure why other Yelpers are leaving 4 star reviews and yet leaving great reviews about this restaurant! My lady and I ALMOST didn't try this place out because they have 3.5 stars and man, we would've missed finding our next favorite spot!!! We arrived just after 5 on a Saturday night and had trouble finding a parking spot! Walked into the front door and the place was packed! We didn't have to wait long because the hostess station was manned by some pretty competent young ladies! Ordered 4 different cocktails and we weren't disappointed...some of the best we've had ANYWHERE (the Maddie was the favorite!)! The Hanover Easy Burger was fantastic and they were generous with the burger Patty and toppings! My lady enjoyed her fish sandwich. I've seen people complaining about the noise but it wasn't loud at all. TVs at every angle and plenty of tables of all sizes. There were people still streaming in the door when we left at 6:45! This restaurant is well managed and the owners are to be complimented on having such a fine establishment! We were more than happy with our visit and plan to make this one of our regular spots! I can't recommend The Blind Squirrel high enough!!! read more

I deducted one star because it's difficult to have a conversation inside the Blind Squirrel. It's especially almost impossible to talk when the live music is playing, which often happens during dinner time. We've tried sitting in the far back, but it just doesn't seem to help. Sadly, it's not a place we can go to meet friends for dinner to catch up, because we can't hear each other. That being said... we love everything else about this place! Two large bars, plenty of high top and low top table seating, and a few booths. Also plenty of patio seating when the weather is good. Nice sofa and comfy chair lounge areas are first come four at served for beverages only (no food is served in the lounge area). The food is very good. I usually order the Philly cheesesteak, which can also be made with chicken. The strawberry salad is very good, and the hamburgers are solid. The curly fries are delicious! Drinks are always good and there's a good bourbon selection. I was there for lunch with a friend today, and while still somewhat loud, we were able to have a conversation and hear each other :-) We've been to Blind Squirrel close to ten times this past year, and I'm sure we'll be back again and again (just not for dinner with friends if we want to talk to each other)! read more

So, I have a thing for squirrels so when I came across this place on Yelp I knew that I wanted to try it. Our server was Austin and he was very polite and provided excellent customer service. My dad and I both got chicken wraps. They were a decent size so we each only ate half. I had the Mac n cheese for my size and it too was a decent portion size. My dad had the twisted fries and they were seasoned very well. They have a decent beer, cocktail, and mocktail list. I had a mocktail with red bull, lemonade, and strawberry. I was impressed that it tasted great and was only $5! Plenty of parking and this place is huge. Per signs they have weekday happy hour specials too. I would recommend! read more
