    Appetizer Shredded Chicken Empanadas with Chipotle and Aioli Sauce. I ate this as my meal.
    Robyn P.

    6/27/26 Tonight we went to Brass Social for supper. Our server was Caroline, and she was so sweet. She was at our table immediately and got our drink orders. My husband's Diet Coke was really good and I really love their Ice Tea and the small pieces of ice. Caroline was right back to take our orders. I ordered the Chicken Empanadas. There are two pastries filled with chicken. They always fill me up. My husband ordered his very favorite entree, the Hermano Americano Burger. It has a hamburger patty, cheese, tomato, pickles, a few onions and lettuce. Their burgers are really delicious. Their beef comes from the farm of the owners. He also ordered a side salad with fresh greens, tomatoes, shredded cheese and croutons. He chose ranch dressing. It was really good, he shared some with me. Our food came very quickly and it was perfect. My Empanadas were crispy and pretty large. My husband's burger was great. The restaurant is very clean and the sound level was very good. They had the FIFA Games on and it was very enjoyable. Attached to the restaurant is their gun shop and firing range. It is very controlled that you cannot shoot if you've already had any alcohol. Caroline came by so many times to check on us. She refilled my husband's Diet Coke and when we were ready to go, she got me an iced tea to go. We had a really great time. Caroline was an excellent server.

    The Brass Social at the top of Blankenbaker Dr (i.e. Electron Dr) is a welcome stop in Middletown KY which is sorely devoid of great restaurants. They host an array of burgers with a myriad of toppings and sides; best of which is the mac n' cheese. I should know, I'm a connoisseur (ahem). There is also a variety of craft bears at 4.00.each But if you imbibe ignore visiting the gun range next door. Shoot first and eat/drink later. Restaurant is easy to get to with plenty of tables inside and out with ample parking. Did I mention the cheap draft bears?

    We stopped here for an early supper and were very happy we did. They have a nice draft selection of craft beers and happy hour had them at 4 bucks each. We ordered the pretzel bites to get started and then I went with a mushroom and Swiss smash burger while my wife had a chicken and rice entree. Both were very good. They have a nice burger, selection, but they're all smash burgers. If you love smash burgers, then you'll love this place. If you prefer a big thick burger, then this probably isn't for you. They did also have several other entrée options, other than burgers. Most of their items ran from about 17 up to $20ish for an entrée. The atmosphere was very clean and comfortable casual. We also had great service and a personable waitress. All in all I would highly recommend.

    Hermano Americano ($16) with side veggies and sweet tea ($3)

    My cousin wanted a burger and not just any... "I want juicy, juice dripping from the side of my mouth with crisp lettuce that crunches with each bite, cheese with a salty finish..." So with that, I was on search for a high quality burger that would satisfy the most sophisticated palette for my fam. On a Yelp search, Brass Social was the most favorable option. There was ample parking in the lot Brass Social sat on. We were fortunate to find a spot in front of the entrance. The inside of Brass Social was informal with high ceilings, spacious interior and ample seating to provide privacy between seating. There are seats at the bar to the left of entering, the shooting range is to far back right of the entrance (Yes! You can eat then shoot) and wood tables of different length and sizes with wood chairs and metal details. Their esthetic is industrial. Menus are paper. Service was exceptional. Our waiter was friendly, checked in on us a few times and provided us privacy to enjoy our meals and each other. The women's restroom was bright, spacious, clean and had at least six stalls for everyone in the party to go without wait. The hand towel dispenser was empty and upon telling staff it was immediately refilled. Exceptional! We thoroughly enjoyed our time and meals. The veggies were exceptional. They were so good each one of us couldn't stop complimenting its flavor. Those veggies are insanely delicious! Perfectly cooked. The burgers were more flavorful and juicier than expected and exactly what my cousins were in search for. My salmon was juicy, flaky, seasoned nicely while still enjoying the taste of the salmon itself. Basically, regardless of your selection you will not be disappointed. If I lived closer to some of my fam I would enjoy Brass Social's meals and shooting range. I did not get the opportunity this visit, maybe in a few months we'll see. Overall, I enjoyed the environment, service, food, and time spent and I'm grateful we found a location to satisfy all our preferences.

    This was a pleasant surprise. This is a well kept secret and a hidden gem. This is really good bar food with even better service. I had one of the burgers and the buffalo chicken dip. They were both a step above your typical bar food and super tasty. Id in the area again, I would definitely return.

    I got the Signature Social burger and it was unbelievably good. One of the best burgers in the city, seriously. The fries were fine. Not incredible, definitely not bad. My parents got the So Lou Chicken which also was delicious and essentially meal prep, high protein. Will absolutely be coming back.

    Greeted warmly upon entering. Nice sized place with a full service bar in the middle of a business center. I ordered a Blue & Blackened Burger with Fries. Let me tell you, it was fantastic!! The fries were crispy and good flavor and the burger was outstanding! This will become a regular spot since my dealership just opened around the corner.

    We stopped by for some light snacks after the shooting range before heading home for dinner and ordered mostly appetizers. Most of us tried the garlic shrimp, and while the staff mentioned the shrimp delivery was smaller than usual, we still went ahead, and honestly, it was tasty and well-prepared. That said, at $16 for an appetizer (without fries included), it feels like it should really be considered a meal. I also hope the bread could be served in a slightly thicker cut to make it more satisfying.

    Brass Social- A Damn Fine Birger Worth Talking About! Don't be fooled by its location in a business complex. The Brass social creates one the best burgers in all of Louisville, IMO. I personally loved the Signature Social burger. It's a beautiful sweet mess, dripping with what can only be described as liquid gold- a savory, decadent elixir that soaks the bun and coats your fingers in the best possible. Locally sourced beef, an attentive chef, tasty drinks, and great customer service makes this place the spot to check out. It's still in its infancy phase however I'd put money on this place a soon becoming a the place everyone in Louisville comes for a great burger. I highly recommend ordering the 1911 cocktail. You can thank me later.

    Brass social and next level gun range out front .

    Hidden in an industrial looking area of j-town you'll find an unassuming burger spot "brass social" it's clean with simple decor, paintings on the walls inspired by the adjacent gun range and shop. The food is strong. All of the meats are locally raised, quality ingredients inside. The Smash Burgers are killer .. no pun intended. My favorite burger is the Hermano Americano. The fries remind me of an upscale long John's silvers fries like they've been lightly dredged in flour or something to that effect. The smoked wings are tasty and with nice smoked flavor and choice of bbq sauce. definitely worth a trip and certainly a hidden Gem. the only time you hear gun fire is when you visit the restrooms... this is a unique and novel experience.

    Sorry it's sideways! The Better Bourbon Bureau is my favorite Old Fashioned in Louisville!

    This is one of my favorite new spots in the city - it has become a staple in my lunch rotation. Middletown is an affluent area that seems to have the best of everything, but let me tell you - their food scene inexplicably sucks! Brass Social has been such a refreshing addition there, like the thaw of ice in springtime. In particular, their namesake burger might be Louisville's best - and I've tried almost all of them. You can actually taste each individual component of the burger, which is a strange but poignant compliment rendered by my friend, Nate. They also make my favorite Old Fashioned in the city. This place just understands flavors and balance and does everything at an above average standard. The one deficiency is that the service here hasn't been very good over the course of my 8-10 visits. You'll often wait a while... or have to re-ask for things several times. And the atmosphere feels more like a small, impersonal cafeteria. But the food is so good I don't care! A funny note: Brass Social is attached to a gun range. If you drink any alcohol here, they'll scan your license and you won't be permitted to shoot firearms next door immediately after. So do your boozing elsewhere before you visit the gun range. Kidding. But do try Brass Social!

    I am so torn here. The food was like food my grandmother would make, which I really appreciate…read morebeing able to eat since she's passed on. It was not the best food in the world but the food here tastes like home to me. Just really well seasoned and old school. Now here's my issue. This establishment had me wait almost 90 minutes on a 92 degree day (WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD) for two meals. They had already taken my money, otherwise I would have booked it. Here's what I ate: 1. Fried Pork Chop with mashed potaotes (they were out of potato salad) and greens, gravy on the side 2. Ribs with macaroni and cheese and Pinto Beans I also got a blackberry cobbler. I checked in after 30 minutes and they weren't sympathetic. I looked at these reviews later and saw that someone said the customer service at this establishment was hilarious and they were not kidding. Here's how everything tasted: Pork Chop: very flavorful, glad I got fried and not smothered for texture reasons Mashed potatoes: good and real, but nothing to write home about Ribs: They were okay. tender. tasted like they were boiled and that's not my preference...they were also swimming in sauce. I feel like ribs should be able to stand up without the sauce and I was not sure this could happen here. The bbq sauce is part of the dish for them. Greens: overly salted, underseasoned...they needed to be eaten by the pinto beans Pinto beans: absolutely no salt--would not order again Macaroni and cheese: this is the creamy kind, not the baked kind (not my preference. Gravy: excellent Blackberry Cobbler: FIVE STARS. Delicious, buttery, so tasty. I went home and tried to make one. Seriously: no notes here. It is a must try. Charging 2 dollars for a cup of kool-aid is insane. with this kind of customer services, it would be nice if they threw that sugar water in for free. I skipped it, but just thought I would mention if you plan on trying to have some for nostalgic reasons. I haven't had any in about 30 years and I was planning on it but not when I saw the price tag. I live in Illinois, but if I ever do visit again I will call my order in, go sight seeing and then pick up my food. Don't bring your kids to this establishment unless they have confirmed your order is ready!

The service and food are awesome with amazing prices. Some places are charging premium for soul food now. My pork chops were perfect and gave me an extra one for no charge.

The dining area is small and no frills, so I'd probably use the drive-thru or take it to-go next time. We ordered the 4 whole spicy wings meal with two sides. I was surprised they include the entire wing, including the tip. Each wing comes with the drum, flat, and tip. The wing tip is actually my favorite part, and it's rare to find restaurants that leave it on. The chicken was incredibly crispy without being greasy, and the spicy seasoning had just the right amount of heat. I want that recipe! For our sides, we doubled up on the potato wedges, and they absolutely lived up to the hype. They seem like they're coated in the same seasoned batter as the chicken, giving them an extra crispy crunch on the outside. Pro tip: Order the purple drink! It has a grape flavor with a fruity twist, and it pairs perfectly with the spicy chicken. Overall, Chicken King is worth a stop if you're in Louisville. Between the huge portions and affordable prices, it's easy to see why it's been a longtime favorite among locals.

Crunchy breading, juicy and tender inside. They were not spicey or dripping in any sauce, just regular breaded and I thought "I am going to have to go to this place soon" After doing some research I found that they have drive thru only for dinner hours. So I made my trip down Broadway to Chicken King and could not miss the big yellow sign nor the already 7 cars in the drive thru. Since this chicken has a otremendous fan base, I considered myself lucky to be #8 in line as others pulled behind me. The menu is packed full of items, so my first tip is to look up the menu online before you go...less pressure once you arrive...lol I ordered the 8 PC box (regular) for my husband, 3 PC tenders (that comes with 3 potato wedges) for myself and a medium peach cobbler to share. I was very disappointed that the tenders were not fresh nor freshly breaded. They were pressed and glued white meat formed into a tender. I actually only ate one, shared one with my dog and threw the last one away. The potato wedges were the star. I should have ordered more of those. My husband, who LOVES fried chicken was not impressed. He said KFC and Golden Corral has better. The peach cobbler was average. So, I am sorry to summarize our experience as not having a reason to return.

My favorite was the espresso martini. We also opted for the Doritos nachos which were pretty filling for an appetizer! The menu states it's for 3-4 people, but it was a good serving for just the two of us. It had Doritos, cheese, pickled onions, lime, jalapeños, and a mixture of beans and it was delicious. We overall spent about $70.

We had a choice between sitting inside or being seated at a picnic table on the covered deck. We were assigned a high-top table in the dining area past the bar, where a few guys were watching a soccer match. The brine-soaked fried chicken is Eagle's specialty, so we ordered it. I thought the chicken was good,. So per the menu for the three-piece fried chicken meal, you can only order either all white meat or all dark meat. Interestingly, the two people at our table that ordered white meat still got a drumstick with their meat. The last I checked, drumsticks were considered dark meat. For an appetizer, we ordered the hush puppies. They had a nice crunchy texture but were very spicy hot. We also ordered the spoonbread. This was my favorite dish of the day. It was served warm, had a great texture and a light maple flavor. With our meals, we could get two sides. We requested the collard greens, green beans, fries, grits and mac & cheese. Only the mac & cheese was good. The collard greens were way salty and the green beans had odd and unexpected seasonings. Our dining companion was put out, and understandably so, that the menu said the grits came with white cheddar cheese. But instead, though the grits maybe had cheese, they were also loaded with loads of diced jalapeno. They were so over the top spicy, none of us could eat the grits. The fries were strongly seasoned with oregano. WTF? Our entrees came with biscuits. The biscuits were tasty, but unfortunately, because they contained too much shortening, fell apart when buttering them. And that leads up to the service lapse. After we received our check, our server completely disappeared. We waited a half hour for her to re-appear, gave up and asked another server to cash us out. He disappeared and we waited some more. Finally the red-headed server re-appeared and breezily explained she had been out on the deck the whole time. No apology or anything.
