After my birthday dinner! Look at those beautiful deserts!!
Alexis B.

I love this place! Everything is so fresh! The salads are huge, and I highly recommend the black bean soup and the clam chowder! They taste homemade! I always get the filet, and it has always been cooked to my liking. The seasonings they put on their steaks is so good and unique too! The broccoli and potato au gratin is so yummy and cheesy! However, be aware that their sides are meant to share or to take home for leftovers! The deserts are out of this world! My family always chooses a couple to share as we can't pick just one! The creme brûlée, the chocolate cake, the cheesecake, and the pie. The service is also always phenomenal as they are very accommodating and helpful! Del Frisco's is definitely my favorite local steakhouse, and I highly recommend it for special evenings.

RIBEYE STEAK (12 TO 14 OZ.)
Tamika W.

I visited Del Frisco's to celebrate my birthday and was really looking forward to the experience. The service was truly excellent. Our servers were friendly, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of the entire time. I ordered the ribeye steak, which was just okay. But not quite as flavorful or memorable as I had hoped. My friend ordered the fried shrimp and unfortunately as shrimp lovers, we weren't fans of that dish at all. The Caesar salad dressing is made in-house, which I usually appreciate, but it had a very oily taste and didn't quite hit the mark for anyone at our table. On a brighter note, the strawberry lemon drop cocktail was really good! All in all everyone at my table felt the same: The service and drinks were great, but the food could use some improvement.

Outstanding food Outstanding service Outstanding ambiance Del Friscos's NEVER fails to deliver top quality

Imitation lobster?

We have been to multiple times ti Del Frisco's (DF) in Philadelphia and it was spectacular. So sad that this Louisville location can't compare. The meal tasted just better than a cafeteria. We happened to have eaten ate at Capitol Grille (GH) the night prior and Del Frisco's was such a let down. We thought it would be at par or better. The bread was old and stale and seemed straight off a grocery store shelves vs fresh. The difference of the CG lobster bisque to the DF version was night and day. Del Frisco's bisque is imitation lobster at best - seems unethical to claim it as lobster. The bisque was better but ruined by the lack of actual lobster. The New York steak was the best of the options our party was served. Del Frisco's Trio and the Filet Mignon 8-10oz werr so smothered in butter you couldn't taste the flavor of the meat. The steak knives were delivered after the meal arrived and all just seemed rushed and dumped vs served. Had to ask for knives, fresh ground pepper, etc. The wine list was adequate and the Strawberry Lemongrass Cosmo tasted like watered down cough syrup, so had to let that sit. Caesar Salad tasted like all oil vs anything else. Creme Brulee had nice berries on it, not much flavor otherwise and crust was too think. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was non existent when you are seated in the back corner of the back room even with a reservation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Doesn't live up to the price point paid at almost $150/person. Potatoes Au Gratin, good. Nothing was really worth a photo. Staff was nice enough.

The food was ok, don't get the oysters... they are large and not on a shell, so really hard to eat. The crab cakes were really great. The service wasn't great, but we were there a day after the derby.... They gave us a free dessert to make up for it, so points for that. The atmosphere was nice - a typical low light steakhouse. We went back for a second night since our hotel was close.... And it was amazing. Great food, service, everything!!

Del frisco's is a high end and very nice steak house in the east end community of louisville Kentucky. My wife birthday was last week and me and her made it a goal a year or so ago that on our birthdays and special occasions we was going to try a new fancy reputable steakhouse in our area. So del friscos was up next on our list. We weee able to call early in the morning and get a same day reservation right at 5pm opening. The interior is very intimate with very low lighting and modern decor. We started off with a calamari appetizer. While waiting for our app they offer up there complimentary bread which is phenomenal. Very fresh and great flavor. I'd say top 5 Dinner roll/bread I've had before. The calamari came out and it had a nice flavor. Very crispy and the marinara was a classic taste. A lot of places overthink calamari sauce when sometimes old fashioned marinara does the trick. For our entrees I got the ribeye and my wife got the New York strip. Both steaks came out cooked the way ordered. Which is always a plus. My ribeye was very tender and had a nice flavor. The topping had like a garlic buttery sauce on top which was a unique twist for a ribeye. My wife new York strip she said was phenomenal. I tried a bite and she was right. Very tender with a nice crisp. I actually enjoyed it more than my ribeye and I'm usually always a ribeye person. Our our service was top notch. My wife received a complimentary birthday cake which was a good size and easily fed us both. Very nice free birthday treat. I did get an after dinner cocktail callers grasshopper which is a mint chocolate alcoholic drink. For those who love mint chocolate (guilty) this is a great drink. Was very satisfied with it. Overall a very good and enjoyable birthday dinner. Good service, great bread, good calamari, very good steaks and some tasty treats. That's how you celebrate a birthday if you ask me.

TOURNEDOS DEL FRISCO'S
Logan S.

The service was on point, waiter was polite and friendly. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the Lobster Bisque, it was served with imitation crab meat. It was spicy and tasted like something I would get a Costco. I really enjoy bisque and get it almost everytime I'm at a restaurant, I was hoping for something closer to what Ruby's serves. The Tournedos was very tasty, the filet were all good cuts off beef. The potatoes were fluffy and the burgundy sauce was delicious. I'd like to give Del Frisco's another shot and try other menu items.

Broccoli Au Gratin
Lorie L.

To celebrate a big win professionally, my husband treated me to a family dinner at Del Frisco's. We had reservations for 4 on Friday evening and were seated right away upon arrival. From beginning to end the service was stellar. It's clear the employees work as a team and strive to provide an incredible dining experience. Atmosphere-wise, Del Frisco's - even with a move to a new location - feels old school, but not in an upscale "classic" way. Instead it reminded me of the downtown hotels before their renovation. It's dimly lit with dark wooden decor and minimal decor. We were tucked into the back of the restaurant where I looked at a wall for the evening. Very boring and I found myself wishing we'd picked another steakhouse for atmosphere alone. The meal was enjoyable; however, the only thing we've all talked about since the dinner was the complimentary bread. We ate a lot of that! Three of us got tossed salads and while the portion was plentiful, each of us had browning lettuce mixed in the bowl. Of the 4 sides we enjoyed the onion rings but left the steak fries, asparagus and broccoli au gratin sitting. The broccoli was extremely peppery and none of us would eat more than the first bite. Each of us got different cuts of steaks. My choice was the filet mignon medallions which came with a choice of 3 add on butters. I ordered it medium well which was still fairly pink and made me thankful I didn't request medium. Each medallion was 4 Oz and very soft texture-wise. All of our plates were very hot and the steaks were sitting it a large amount of butter/oil. After awhile that became unappetizing. If ordering again I'd choose a thicker cut of steak to combat the ratio of butter to meat. Overwhelming. We ended with a slice of NY cheesecake because my kids hadn't eaten it before. Decent portion. Overall we enjoyed our time as a family (about a 2 hr meal), but I think it's safe to say we weren't impressed enough to return or recommend.

This is my favorite place for happy hour in Louisville. It starts at 4 PM so it's a nice early happy hour and then all of their appetizers are half price. They also have drink specials so it is a win-win! I really love the bar area they have some big TVs as well as tables or you can just sit right at the bar. It's very cozy with good lighting and feels upscale... But you don't really have to be super dressed up to hang out in the bar. I would have to say my favorite appetizer is the calamari. I feel like it's the best in the city because I've tried a lot of calamari. The rings are very thick and the batter is very light, and the portion is very generous. It is really delicious! When we went last time, I took a friend and they really enjoyed it and we just ate like kings! This is also a great place to just have a nice fancy dinner or go on a date, but you do have the option to just hang out in the bar for happy hour which I really appreciate! The service here is always top notch and they make really good cocktails. Highly recommend.

The best food I had in Louisville and maybe anywhere in 2026 - we ate here 4 times in our short 2…read moreday trip. Breakfast: simple yet served quickly and a large portion. The American breakfast had large potato pieces, good sausage, and made to order eggs. Hot coffee was on the better side for hotel coffee. Dinner: they were super accommodating, as we were traveling with a friend with an infant. I called ahead to let them know we would come in with a stroller, and they made sure to sit us in an area where the stroller was not in the way of servers or other guests. Our server was one of the most attentive people I have ever met, and every recommendation they gave was fantastic. We started with the oyster rockefellar and the spicy tuna tartare. The oysters were massive and the tuna dish was so good, we got it a second time later in the weekend. We all got steaks for our mains and added a lobster tail - there was a mix up with the lobster tail taking a bit and they ended up bringing out the largest lobster tail to make up for it. All steaks, their sides, and sauces were fantastic- better than most I have had in the DC area. The food was all rich so under order or share amongst friends. Cocktails were of course fantastic, from espresso martinis to the famous smoked old fashions. We had drinks at the bar another night and the service was just as good, though they did tell us that they didn't serve the drink in a smoke box when we certainly had one just a night before.

They offer valet parking for $14, but street parking was easy to find and just a short walk away. We started with the Caesar salad and the wedge salad. Both were good, although the wedge had a bit too much dressing for my taste. I ordered the filet with mashed potatoes, asparagus, and mushrooms. The filet was excellent, and while I'm not usually a mushroom person, these were truly outstanding. The bread was also some of the best I've ever had. I also ordered one of the mocktails, which I enjoyed because it wasn't overly sweet. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the service. Our waiter was efficient, but he wasn't particularly friendly, and the entire meal felt rushed. Several times, someone tried to clear my plate while I was still eating. We also had to ask for more time more than once before ordering because we felt pressured to make decisions quickly. With a bill of over $300, I expected a more relaxed dining experience where we could enjoy the evening at our own pace.

Their claim to fame seems to be 1) Muhammed Ali used to eat there and 2) they wouldn't serve OJ Simpson and kicked him out. Nick was our incredibly friendly and knowledgeable server. I ordered a half dozen oysters, an iceberg blue salad and a Cowboy rare petite filet mignon steak. We also shared a large side of shishito peppers. The oysters were very fresh and spot on, served with horseradish, vinegar, fresh lemon and Tabasco. They weren't fully shucked, so I had to pry them from the shell. My salad never made it to the table. Nick was mortified and offered to make it right with dessert (which I politely declined). The steak was good and was cooked rare, the way I asked. The weird thing was that the rare steak tasted dry - maybe it was the rub, but a rare steak should not taste dry. Almost like it was cooked medium. I told Nick I liked the steak but it might have been the seasoning that made it taste dry. They comped the steak. Outstanding. They earned a star back. Nick knew how to make a customer feel welcomed, special, and appreciated. Definitely worth a visit, but bring a credit card with a high limit. Make sure you have reservations and get them well before your visit. Remember to tip well.

They serve half portions. The crab cake was wonderful. It's comprised of three types of crab with very little breading. The sauces really add to the experience. The sushi was very nice. You definitely get a lot. Entrees: The petite filet and New York strips steaks were great. They had a lot of flavor. Ask for a flight of sauces. We had truffle butter, bearnaise, and horse radish sauce. The bearnaise sauce was lacking. The coloring was nice, but the flavor was not there. Sides: Macaroni and cheese - just really good Mac n' cheese. Shishito peppers - skip. The skins are tough, they are too large, they are devoid of flavor. They need a dipping sauce, lime juice, and sea salt. The Brussels sprouts are ok. They almost tasted candied and had no tang to balance the flavor. Inconsistently cooked. Some were crunching and others cooked well. The mashed potatoes were phenomenal. Get them.

The restaurant includes a long row of bar seating that extends to the other end of the restaurant, so there was no problem for me to find a seat on a busy day.

I don't know if this is a thing they do at Doc Crow's, but in my opinion the bartender excessively kept asking me what I wanted even while I was still looking at the menu.

My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I spent most of the afternoon on a bourbon tour and a post-tour distillery so...food was needed. And quickly. In our mild defense, we didn't really know how the day was going to go or when we were actually going to have dinner, which made it a little tougher to pre-plan, but no research went into this at all and we paid for it. We wrapped up our bourbon adventures at the Angel's Envy distillery probably five or six blocks from here. Instead of being grownups and doing at least a quick/impromptu recon for spots, we literally just walked outside and down W Main St until we hit something. And we hit this, which was right on the edge of the main tourist area, pretty much Louisville's equivalent of the Times Square/MSG area. And as someone who works and used to live in NYC, you'd have to do a lot of convincing to get me to eat in that particular area - it's overpriced and the food/service just tends to not be very good, which makes you wonder what the appeal is for tourists beyond the convenience. But regardless, it's always struck me as an odd way for a tourism spot to put its best foot forward (or not). Doc Crow's is enormous, and when we were brought further into the restaurant to our table, I think we literally walked through three or four large rooms and navigated through multiple passageways. If you told me this place took up an entire city block or close to it, I'd believe you. Beyond the size/scope, there's nothing really distinctive that separates it from the myriad of other restaurants you'd expect to see catering to out-of-towners. It was the Friday evening of Memorial Day Weekend, so a place that I suspect is usually pretty busy was even busier and louder than that. Maybe not the greatest recipe after a bourbon tour, but who can say. On the app front, we got the Crispy Salmon Bites, which were fine. Not an item I typically see on a menu, even one with more of a seafood bent. I thought the cornmeal/panko breading was the right call; I'm a big catfish aficionado, so I'm of the opinion that cornmeal is underutilized, at least in the Northeast where I come from. Otherwise, nothing really mind-blowing there; probably would have made sense for it to be a different type of fish given the prep (I think salmon is best raw in a sushi roll or grilled), but it could have been worse. I don't think a ton of thought went into this on my end, but I went with the full rack BBQ ribs, along with a side of mac n' cheese. Again, okay, though not as flavorful as I would have hoped and I thought the ribs were on the dry side. Not their fault, but I always regret getting the full rack in hindsight because ribs have a deceptively significant amount of meat on the bones and a half rack is a very decent portion by itself; I am a work in progress just like everyone else. The mac n' cheese was also pretty dry, which I think you can see pretty obviously in the accompanying picture. Tasted and felt reheated at least once or twice. The service was pretty efficient given how busy it was, but our waiter was just on robotic autopilot. Not remotely personable and everything I said to him was responded to with, "For sure, for sure." Maybe he was having a rough night to start the holiday weekend, but it felt like he was just going through the motions and just checking off some boxes there. I went into this already predisposed to not like the generic tourist trap places, so grain of salt. But my recommendation if you have the time/bandwidth (now that I'm a cagey Louisville vet) is to bypass this area if you can and find something tastier and more interesting in the Highlands neighborhood. That's where the real ones are.

Our group luckily stopped by Monk's Road Boiler House in Louisville, KY last night. we headed down…read moreto the speakeasy where we met our bartender, Brian and the general manager Teddy. This was the best experience and these two gentlemen made sure of it. The drinks Brian made for us were top notch and some of the best I've ever had. I had the Chamomile Fields Old Fashion and my husband had the Smoked Ok'd Fashion and the New York Sour. All of them outstanding! We felt at home, Brian and Teddy made the whole night special. We did some bourbon tasting and went home with a few extra bottles. The ambience was a perfect ending for our trip with its warm, intimate setting.

We came for dinner- group of 6. We had a reservation, but we arrived early, so we went downstairs…read moreto their bar. They have a sweet vault door to get in. There were many seats at the bar as well as couch and chair areas. They also have bathrooms down there. Service was outstanding. We had a bourbon flight and some cocktails. Our server even took group pics for us. He also provided menus so we could be prepared for dinner. When our table was ready, we reconciled our check and headed back upstairs. Upstairs, we had amazing service also. I ordered a cocktail that they had on the downstairs menu, and not the regular menu. It did not faze our server. He said he would figure it out- and he did! After a round of drinks, we stayed with appetizers: meatballs, fritto misto, piatto di frutti di mare and the crab cake. Everything was devoured. I loved the crab cake and the meatballs. The fried calamari was pretty standard and the cold seafood platter was fine- I had an oyster off of it. For dinner, I had the "Pappardelle" : short rib ragu alla bolognese, grano padano, and added two seared scallops. Wow. The pasta is homemade. It was phenomenal. My husband had the "Maiale" : 16oz pork chop, cauliflower puree, chard, stone fruit, bourbon glaze. It was a large portion and cooked perfectly. So good. Our friends had steaks and sides, so I was able to try the Mac and cheese- which did not get congealed! The corn was delicious and the mushrooms were a variety. Of course we had dessert. I asked for cannoli and they had it! They weee not soggy. I had three different favors. I love cannoli. These were really good. We also shared the millionaire's tart and some sort of apple crumble with ice cream. Yum. We had more round of drinks throughout including some fun ones - see the treasure chest video. I would recommend this place. They have a great menu. Drinks were awesome. Service topped everything. They went out of their way for us multiple times. Thanks so much. We can't wait to come back again.

Authentic Cuban food at least it seems like. Cool vibe, great service, and food is terrific…read more Check it out.

Whenever we asked someone to recommend somewhere to eat, they invariably would say La Bodeguita. I…read moream not exaggerating, every single person. We were leaving for the second leg of our trip and were running late, as usual. We decided to run across the street for a sit down lunch, what's another hour? Two smiling faces greeted us at the door. They offered a high top but my hip was absolutely not digging it nor a table up the flight of steep stairs. Once seated, we were greeted promptly and had water in front of us almost immediately. We each ordered soup and then a sandwich to share. I had the Sopa de Pollo . A hot bowl thick with thin noodles and lots of chunks of chicken. The chunks were too big to eat without being cut up which was a challenge in a bowl of broth. It was so hot that I had to wait a while to try it and even then had to blow on it. It was delicious. Unless the soup is your meal, order a cup. I still took nearly a pint of soup back with me. My husband ordered the Frijole Negro - a huge bowl of black beans that was served with a large pile of raw onions on top. Like the chicken soup, it was burn your mouth hot and a very large serving. He said it was good but he'd not order it again. Moving on to the sandwich. We had the Cubano. I'm not even going to describe it - just trust me - order the Cubano. Do not look at the rest of the menu - order the Cubano. Don't even bother looking at the ingredients, just order the Cubano. Have you ordered it yet? Do it already. The Cubano is huge. We split one half and had the other when we arrived at our next stop. Do consider that we had soup first; otherwise, we'd have eaten the whole thing. The accompanying plantain chips were worthy of their own review. They were wonderful. Who knows if and when we'll be back to Louisville but when we are, La Bodeguita will be the first place we stop. BTW, have you ordered the Cubano yet? What are you waiting for? Put your phone done and order it! Enjoy!!
