    Gyro sandwich

    The owner is super nice ! Food was made fresh an hot . I heard the kid next. to me say that this is the best lemonade I've had in my life at this place .

    Many flavored lemonades.

    Lets start with the basics, great frozen lemonades, very good flavors, colors and presentation. great Philly style sandwiches. Now this is not the kind of place you really want to hang out in and some people may feel unsafe in the area and in regard to who is coming and going. But the staff is friendly and talkative but a little slow. This reminds me of so many gritty little places you find in very large cities, local places with great food and not much else that cater to the neighborhood. The restrooms were clean but sparse, the tables simple, old and worn as was the building but it still got a good health score and an A. The guy who took our order (I think Pakistan or some other area from that part of the world) spoke good English and was very friendly. But also speaking in his native tongue on a boom cell phone headset that was never off nor was he ever off the phone. I found it amusing only because it was a typical look of big city first generation entrepreneurs trying to make deals and get ahead I admire the effort and energy. So if you like finding whole in the wall places with tasty food this might be worth a try. Edgy neighborhood, a parade of characters from pastors, drug dealers, gang bangers poor young couples, and guys in ties slumming from downtown on their lunch breaks this kind of place might be your cup of tea. I'm not sure I would come here at night and if I did I would call ahead but if you like a place with an edge and charisma check it out.

    So, it seems the wind is pretty strong from Chicago, because apparently the greasy breeze has blown in a few of these joints. Four locations so far, sticking more to the West or South end. And the menu is either deep fried or on a flat grill. That's not necessarily a bad thing but just keep that in mind because if you're expecting any low-carb options, you won't find them. The location I happened to be passing by is on Cane Run Rd., and I thought fried fish on a Friday would be appropriate so I stopped in. A small line had formed for the carry-out, the service was quick though and I stepped to the counter and placed my order, and then stepped aside while I waited. As I waited, a call-in order stopped in to pick up their food. She handed the cashier her money and her food was brought to her immediately. However, apparently there was an issue with lemon pepper. It seems that lemon pepper is the spice of choice on all CS&L's fried food. And lots of it. And this customer didn't want any of it and supposedly had requested none be on her order. Of course, a short argument ensued and the merits of lemon pepper in all it's glorious goodness were expounded upon but in the end, the customer is always right. The manager acquiesced and the order was re-done. My number was called immediately after this little drama. I paid and headed home, fried food in hand. With stuff like this, I'm not sure what I expect. It's deep-fried food. There's not many ways to go. The food was OK. Lemon-peppery large portions of fried food. Not much more to be said, but it's doubtful I'll go back. It's simply not that special and the overall experience lands somewhere between meh and eh.

We both had the BREAKFAST BURRITO-BACON and it just hit the spot. Our server was fairly new, but she was so excellent. She was so sweet and checked on us so many times. As we were getting up from our chairs, Whitney came by to say "Hi". She told Meghan that we had been her customers several times & that we had been so nice. She would loves us. That meant alot to us. Whitney had been so sweet and still remembered us. She also showed us how to sign up for Double Dogs Marketing points. It was so sweet of her and we will be back and thankful to use our points.

    I am ashamed to admit that I have only recently tried Double Dogs, despite it being located in my…read moreback door. However, I have already returned once after my initial visit and am sure that my husband and I will be frequent flyers. The ambiance is sports bar with (unless I miscounted) 33 large TVs, the bar, garage doors that open to the outside patio where 4-legged friends are welcome, friendly and efficient service, and best of all, they support the Kentucky Humane Society. Oh, and that tagline though- "Sit. Stay. Eat." Despite the sports bar ambiance, it is definitely child/family friendly. On both my visits (lunch time) there were many families enjoying their lunch. The menu is expansive with the burgers and hot dogs being the main call, but also includes, wings, sandwiches, pizza, and so much more. I opted for the 'breakfast burger' which included the burger, cheese, onions, bacon, and a fried egg. Honestly, one of the best burgers I have had in a long time. I substituted green beans for the included fries, which I often do when eating out. Typically, I end up with a small bowl of what is akin to baby-food vegetables! Not the case here. The green beans were whole and perfectly cooked with a mild crunch and had a delicious seasoning. Talk about being pleasantly surprised. Folks, this is not your 'typical' bar food! This stray dog will definitely return, and I may get a microchip that reads "return to Double Dogs if found."

Oh & they have T-shirts for sale. I bought a pack of 6 Porgie's hotdogs to cook at another time. They were sealed perfectly. They happily suggested how to cook them & how long they'd last in the refrigerator vs. freezer. We were sure to get one of Porgie's shirts to represent bc this place is special. The place has a down home feel & the bathrooms have a fun theme.

That's how I found out about them! One of the staff came over and explained the menu to us. Super helpful and friendly! My friend and I started off with los jugos naturales. Mango and passion fruit. Delicious! Sometimes drinking something sweet compliments eating something savory. We shared all the food: buñuelos, patacón ( it looked like tostones topped with guacamole and different meats), arepa de carne, and sides of frijoles and rice. The sides were large too! I was very impressed with the portions. We ordered too much to share between the two of us. But I'm glad we tried a few things! There was a lot to choose from on the menu. Everything was good. Fresh, flavorful, and well presented. I loved that they played salsa music in the background and had Spanish language channels on the TV. It's such a great ambiance that I can't wait to go back! The food was so good. And they offer items that I've never tried before. Love it here! It's kind of tucked off the usual strip of businesses in Gardiner Lane. It's on the side of the building between King Buffet and Planet Fitness. Tons of parking!

She was very friendly and was not hesitant to make jokes to keep the good vibes! The restaurant opens the side doors to let fresh air in on a sunny day which is amazing if you don't want to sweat in the sun but still want to feel a nice breeze. The sliders were amazing, the chicken was not dry which is common in bar food places. The concept of every bread being rolls gives the hot dog an extra security when picking it up.

Even before we were seated, I noticed a server wearing a green bandanna speaking to another employee, who we later learned was the manager on duty, in a way that seemed unprofessional and unfriendly. After we were seated, my wife asked if we could move because she was cold. We then waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to our table. When our server finally arrived, she acted like she didn't want to be there. My wife asked for a recommendation, but the response was vague and unhelpful. Our drink order was wrong. My wife and I ordered waters, and our son ordered a Sprite, but we received two lemonades and one water instead. After taking our order, our server disappeared. She never brought our food, checked on us, asked if we needed refills, or stopped by the table again. The manager walked past our table several times but never seemed interested in checking on our experience. The biggest issue was my son's meal. He ordered chicken sliders with the sauce on the side, but they arrived covered in sauce. Another employee took the meal back to be remade, but it came back wrong a second time. By then, my wife and I had already finished eating, and our son had been waiting nearly an hour without a proper meal. When I spoke with the manager, I asked that my son's meal be removed from the bill. Instead of taking responsibility and apologizing, the manager offered excuses rather than solutions. Mistakes can happen, but it's how they're handled that matters. Unfortunately, the customer service from both our server and the manager was disappointing. We left frustrated, and based on this experience, we will not be returning to this location.
