    Dizzy Whizz is between a 3-4 star, and because it's a longstanding tradition in Louisville, I have to round up. Plus I'm embarrassed to say this was my first visit and I have several items to order. We had an event nearby and time to kill so we slid into a parking spot and began checking out the menu online. You can order ahead online, eat inside or order curbside. We were greeted by a team member and she took care of us. Today's order was simple - a cheeseburger combo that came with fries and a drink. I upgraded to a pineapple shake. The burger is basic and traditionally includes mayo and lettuce. The fries are thick and would've benefited from more time in the fryer. The pineapple shake was thick vanilla ice cream with a few chunks of fruit. This was a perfect eat-in-the-car meal and hit the spot before our event. While it won't be a destination spot for me, I'll be asking to drive by more often when I'm in the area.

    No gravy with the Chicken Strips Dinner
    Danny J.

    We were staying at the Crowne Plaza so we thought we would Door Dash. I ordered the chicken strip meal that comes with chicken stripes, fries, toast, and gravy. When I got my meal and opened it the first thing I noticed was no gravy. That's the only reason I ordered this meal was so I could dip my chicken, toast, and fries in the gravy. Now all I had was a box of cold fries, dry chicken, and soggy toast. DQ always adds the grace to their chicken strip basket. To say I was disappointed is an understatement, I was very angry because I couldn't say, you forgot to add the gravy at the counter.

    I hate giving a bad review, but the Dizzy Whizz is just not living up to its history. The service was just OK. The staff were yelling at each other and seemed frustrated. I waited about 15 mins for my food, and you can tell from the picture, the burger patty's didn't even cover the bun. The restaurant is old and seems dirty... and the neighborhood is not the greatest after dark. I'm sure this place was fantastic in 1947... but not so much in 2025.

    Great burger and onion rings! Stopped by this cool little burger joint in downtown Louisville on our drive back up to Ohio from down south.

    Big Whiz breakfast.   Three eggs, 4 bacon, hashbrowns, toast with a side of sausage gravy.

    Small little local places like this are becoming exstinct. Dizzy Whiz has been around for quite some time, and I know why... Consistent quality and quantity. You can park and curb order, eat inside or order to go. You can even call in your order for pick up. You can watch most of your order being prepared, which I liked very much. Portions are adequate for the price. (except that side of gravy) Give this small diner a try if your downtown!

When we came here we did not realize that Proof on Main is a not only a wonderful restaurant/bar but also a 24/7 free museum. You can order drinks and then walk through the exhibits.

The staff also encourages you to walk through the dining room and if able they will walk along as your own private docent, explaining a lot of what you see. We had to pause the dining room and bar exhibit tour for a short time to have breakfast which included: - BREAKFAST SANDWICH - Scratch Biscuit, House Sausage, - FRENCH TOAST - Ricotta, Strawberry, Pistachio - BISCUITS & GRAVY - House Sausage Gravy, Sunny Eggs, Chili Crisp Scrambled Eggs, Melty Cheese, Hash-brown - STEEL CUT OATMEAL - Spiced Apple Butter, Apples, Candied Walnuts I will not go items by item but I will say that everything was so perfect-tasty-fresh. The portions are very robust here and I am sure no one goes aways hungry. They have a lot of unique twists on items as you can see by the menu we had.

The modus operandi here is that you stand in line to place your order, then go find a table. At Sunday brunch time, the line can be long and slow to move. After you are seated, a runner will bring your food out. Our orders were correctly prepared and came out quickly. We ordered fried green tomatoes, loaded tater tots and donut holes as appetizers. The green tomatoes were just okay, but I would say that the dipping sauce that came with them was fabulous. The loaded tater tots didn't really seem like tater tots but tasted okay. The donut holes were decent. I ordered the Chick N' Ditch (chicken breast and waffles). The unpleasantly salty chicken was a filet. The French toast that looked like pancakes were good JP ordered the Avocado Toast and said it was just okay. The Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit was good. I was able to order a biscuit on the side (even though the paper menu didn't show biscuits as a side). The biscuit was good. I'm torn between three and four stars for Biscuit Belly, but because the ambience was lively and the interior appealing, I'll go ahead with four stars.

My top-tier chum who literally went to the school of hospitality and I came here two Fridays ago ahead of a bourbon tour (thinking, correctly, that we should probably have a hearty meal beforehand so we didn't end up face-first in a gutter somewhere). Several Kentucky natives told us that we had to try a Hot Brown during our visit, and since it was literally created at the Brown Hotel, this seemed like the logical spot. The actual Hotel has some gorgeous interiors, especially upstairs in the lobby. We didn't see that area until after our meal, so when we laid eyes on the Lobby Bar & Grill, we knew immediately that that was where we SHOULD have gone for this Hot Brown dish. J. Graham's, I'm sorry to say, doesn't have the history and personality of the rest of the building and just looks like a generic breakfast spot you'd find in any hotel. It probably exists solely because the other dining options in the hotel aren't open until later and they want to give tourists and their own customers a place to eat at all times of the day, which isn't a terrible reason in my book. But it's also unfortunately not very good, and the dirty walls and overall meh appearance of the establishment just make it very clear that the hey day for this hotel overall was decades ago. The service was the biggest miss here. Our waitress was scatterbrained, often not around or around but hanging out with co-workers or talking up other customers. It was honestly pretty mystifying because when she DID come by, she was often overly apologetic and trying to make amends. But the best way to make amends is not to have to keep doing that throughout the meal. She forgot my friend's coffee (didn't write anything down when we ordered, which is fine if you remember everything but...) and when my chum asked what was in the hummus (one of just three apps), she didn't know and had to go ask someone in the kitchen. That's arguably a nitpick and she DID try to figure it out, but the lunch menu is pretty small and it was a little odd that her menu knowledge was that limited. The bigger problem was that we were in there for over half an hour longer than we wanted to be because she wouldn't come by our table. I actually actively looked for her on the way to the bathroom so I could remind her to come to our table, but instead found her off to the side gossiping with other staff. Not a good look at all. So this might have been an overall positive experience if some of the hospitality from the hotel had spilled over here. We actually both enjoyed the apps, which were the only real positives of the experience. The Bourbon Barrel Fries and the Two Timer, featuring Smoked Bourbon Hummus (bourbon tends to be the theme of your days in this town, I've found) were both really good, and I probably ate more of those than the actual entree. The fries were cooked perfectly and were well seasoned/addictive. The Hot Brown was fine for what it was (we split it to try). It's basically a dramatic turkey melt, with slices of turkey coated in cheese and other sauces. It also came with strips of bacon on top, which on a personal palate level I didn't think really helped the dish so I barely nibbled on those. It's definitely a solid entry but it wasn't mind-blowing for either of us. Maybe it's just from where we come from in the Northeast, but I'm conditioned to like my turkey with accompanying stuffing, and usually in the latter part of November. I think it felt kind of weird to be eating turkey with warm cheese. But I'm glad we tried it and got the context at least. You might have a completely different experience with better service, but I'd still recommend going upstairs for any dining. It's a much better atmosphere and you can really appreciate where this hotel fits in the chronology of Louisville. You're not going to get that from going here.
