    I treat myself to breakfast on Fridays and haven't been in a long time.. the manager gave me great recommendations and tried an omelette with goat cheese balsamic mushrooms and crispy bacon made to my liking and hash brown potatoes and I didn't know if I would like the salad it was so good with the balsamic dressing I got extra dressing ~ the bartender made a delicious pineapple mimosa. Service excellent Ambiance nice patio options or tables in the back as well as inside.

    Entrance hall to the breakfast side.

    THIS IS HOW BREAKFAST IS DONE! I'm always looking for the local flavor that stands out among the crowd and Breakfast AF (cool name btw), really held true to their brand. Situated an easy drive from downtown, and part of the Schnitzeltown are of Louisville, this apparently was a legacy deli counter back in the heyday and the original corner Hauck's deli sign is still visible. The expansion seems to include a few bars, a pizza joint, breakfast joint, and a revised deli with a smoker actively going at the end of the complex. And it is complex... we sat out front on the patio of the breakfast joint since we had the pup with us, but had I known how large the rear patio was, we would've chosen to sit back there away from the road traffic. I the menu is straightforward... the fare is on the higher side of breakfast pricing, but the portions are enormous and I easily made two meals off my sandwich and home fries. Speaking of which... get it... wich... okay fine. I chose the fried chicken/bacon/egg sandwich on Texas toast and it was... substantial. I added home fries, but honestly, the sandwich was a meal on and of itself. The two succulent chicken tenders exploded with flavor of a distinctive savoriness and that flavor peaked when I dipped them in maple syrup (they have a dispenser next to the coffee pots). The egg and bacon were perfectly cooked, complemented each other well, and the buttery toast just pulled it all together. My wife chose the shrimp-n-grits and that was just a flavor bomb with every bite. Savory grits with the slightly sweet shrimp, topped with smoked pork belly, and drizzled with a chili crisp oil that simply overwhelmed the tastebuds with every bite. It's a line order with pagers, so place your order, grab a table, and the coffee/water is self serve over across from order pickup. The back patio is open air, expansive, and spans the entirety of the multi space front buildings. There's even a soft surface children's playground behind the new deli. I was just absolutely astounded and definitely want to make it back to try their lunch fare next time I'm in town!

    Delicious breakfast!

    It's starts with a very cool place with a patio of memorabilia, enough to satisfy any one. Topped by artistically creative menu expertly prepared. Cool people too! A must stop!!

    So 5 stars may be overkill for this spot. The Indian inspired avocado toast was good and had some good Indian inspired spices paired with the egg and naan. The bread pudding French Toast though was unexpectedly incredible. Perfect amount of sweetness with a very creamy soft center and crispy exterior in addition to a luxurious homemade whipped cream. The restaurant is mostly self service and also has a nice, casual vibe.

    We had been wanting to try this place for awhile and it was suggested for Mother's Day! Parking was definitely an issue but we caught someone pulling out. The line was out the door, so it took us about 30 minutes to be able to place an order. You're given a buzzer and you pick up your food. We weren't prepared for how huge the place was outside! Plenty of seating and they had at least three bars for you to de order drinks. We ordered the empanadas and shrimp and grits and both were absolutely divine! The empanadas had a chipotle aioli that was sooooo good! My husbands shrimp in his grits were cooked to perfection. Overall amazing experience. I take a star off for that line! Given the size of the place there should be at least two places to place an order, given that there's three bars!

    This is a super fun brunch spot connected to Hauck's in Germantown. The back patio has games, awesome decor, and plenty of seating. This is a great spot to have summer brunch. The brunch cocktails are incredible, especially the Cinnamon Toast. The food was very solid and the portions are huge. The avocado toast was cold but I think it may have been intentional. Empanadas tasted fresh and the pancakes were the right level of sweetness. Super friendly staff. We will be back!

    Screwed AF

    My family and I visited on an early Sunday afternoon. It was moderately busy, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a playground for kids. For my drink, I ordered the Screwed AF and very much enjoyed it. For my late breakfast, I ordered a side of cheese grits. It was the perfect size and absolutely delicious. I also had a bite of my daughter's pancake and enjoyed that too. Between the playground, fountain, and TV playing sports, the patio was such a vibe. It was the perfect spot for our family get together.

    Atmosphere is on point, service is mediocre, food was delicious. Definitely a must try location for breakfast or brunch if visiting Louisville.

    Look, if you're the type of person who wakes up hangry and wants your eggs yesterday, this might not be your place. But if you're down to sip some solid coffee, soak up some shade, and contemplate whether your grandkids are cuter than the other patio kids (they are), then welcome to Breakfast AF, aka the brunch spot your whole family didn't know they needed. We were expecting parking chaos, but the brunch gods smiled upon us and BAM--spot right up front. I assume this was a miracle, so don't count on it, but it can happen. Ordering was quick and easy--love that for us--but the food took a while to arrive. Not a dealbreaker though, because the patio is shaded and we were too caffeinated to care. Great place for kids to play if you bring them along. Speaking of food: we had the American breakfast with bacon, a croissant, and eggs over medium--and let me just say, they nailed those eggs. Rare is the restaurant that doesn't undercook them like it's a dare or overcook them into rubbery disappointment. But here? Perfection. Bacon crispy, croissant flaky, and I may or may not have considered licking the plate but remembered I'm a grandparent now and should set an example. The whole vibe is like a brunch commune surrounded by carbs: Pizza AF next door, ice cream a few steps away. I could very easily spend half a day here with my adult kids and grandkids. It's like a family-friendly hangout zone disguised as a breakfast spot. In short: Family-friendly Cute patio with shade Eggs over medium victory Name that makes your mom go "What does AF mean?" Will return. Might try the pizza. Might never leave.

    Best chicken and waffles I've ever had! Flavor was on point chicken was super crispy and flavorful, it had this delicious hot sweet chili sauce on them which was phenomenally paired with the sweet waffle! You go up and order at the counter so you don't have a waiter but staff will still check on you and make sure everything's perfect

    Not quite 4 stars. Maybe 3.75 stars. My friend and I came for breakfast on a Monday morning. You order at the counter, then they give you a buzzer. Coffee is self serve. They have half and half and alt milks which was impressive. Service was good. They asked if we had been in before and gave us the rundown. Even gave us their recs. I ordered black coffee and the chicken and waffles while my friend got oj with chicken and waffles as well. The coffee is just okay. Kinda watered down but did the job. The chicken and waffles were okay. The waffle is cooked pretty crispy...almost too crispy. And the chicken is just tenders with a light breading. It wasn't dry. The syrup on the side kinda soaks into the waffle to the point where you can't even tell it's there. Just not the most satisfying meal. Could be more flavorful for the price. No really memorable. They do have a ton of seating though. The front room is small. But the back area and patio area is large. It shares with Hauck's. Parking is parallel. Easy. I found parking across from it.

    Smoky Bacon Croissant

    Went on a Saturday morning around 9am. Order at the counter. Plenty of seating inside. Went outside and a lot of tables were filled but still plenty of room. Waited about 15 minutes for our food to come. The smoky bacon croissant was amazing. Also really Enjoyed the French toast and hashbrown side. Highly recommend. Nice breakfast spot where kids can run around.

    The entrance just before you order

    We were actually not prepared for the line nor the ordering process, it took about 15 minutes to get inside where the place is well air conditioned and another 10 to order. You self serve your beverages and you receive a number and wait for your order to be delivered. It is always a journey when traveling with me since I am not only vegan but also have allergies to soy, sesame and peanuts. So I have to be cautious 30 minute wait for meal was a bit long however it is not fast food which I appreciate but I guess I would visit somewhere else if I have limited time. A word to the wise they do not validate parking here so look for street parking if you don't want to pay 8 dollars an hour The meal was yummy. I ordered the vegan empanadas, they were very filling, the guacamole was excellent with just a touch of pepper which is perfect for a morning meal. My sister ordered a pancake, eggs and potatoes and she was pleased with the flavor. I was disappointed I could not order the steel cut oatmeal, but the brown sugar and glazed walnuts are mixed into the oats making that an option I couldn't choose
