    Woah, Fat Jimmy, Lam-alam-alam, Fat Jimmy had a pizza buffet; open all day; just off Shelbyville Rd in Middletown they say. (Sorry, the establishment's name was too ripe for the song by RamJam). My wife and I stopped in for lunch the other day and I'd now rate it the best in Middletown. We had the Fat Jimmy Special, medium, thick crust and between us only ate half the pie. Totally loaded with toppings including ham; wonder if they have a place way down in Alabam'. They feature an all day buffet with a salad bar, soup, pizzas, bread sticks, various pastas , cinnamon donuts and chocolate chip cookies. They keep the buffet stock with a hustling and attentive staff. The place is bright, spacious and clean. Next time you have a hankering for pizza and all that comes with the buffet, stop on by. I don't know if I spotted a child that went wild though.......

    This is a hidden gem that I didn't know about until recently. Apparently it has been here a while. It is located in a strip mall at the end. Plenty of parking and plenty of seating inside. All the food was fresh and didn't taste cheap. We really liked the variety of pizza. They even had a soup. The soup when we went was taco soup. It tasted really good. The cheesy potatoes did not taste like anything. They needed some salt and pepper. I wouldn't advise them unless you want to doctor them up. I didn't get to taste the pasta because by the time they refilled, I was too full. That was the only downfall- they don't seem to be on top of refilling things. I had told ask about refilling the salad dressings. We will be back. Loved the food and the convenience. Prices weren't bad either. Two people got a buffet and drink was $26.

    Wow wow wow. What a gem! My husband and I have nostalgic memories of a national pizza buffet brand which is now largely nonexistent. Fat Jimmy's is a similar concept but INFINITELY higher quality. We came on a busy weekend and every single table was bussed and cleaned within minutes of the customers' departure. Not only that, every single party was told "thanks for coming, have a great day!" on their way out! I was blown away by the friendliness off the staff. I wish we lived in the Louisville area just to become a regular of this establishment. Food was excellent, salad options were fresh, veggie options plentiful, everything was remarkably clean, and obviously it was excellent value! 10 stars , can't wait to return.

    Salad options were great, dressing was okay, they but it prepacked from a supplier. But still satisfying overall. Tomato Sauce is made in house, and has an interesting mix of herbs with a sweet aftertaste. I used it as a dipping sauce. Pizza was the star of the show! Pepperoni was very tasty. I loved the Tito Pizza, it has white base, bacon, bacon, banana peppers, and buffalo sauce. Food stations were clean, with constant fresh food. Staff was attentive, and friendly. Overall a great experience. Food was pretty good, and great deal for $12 buffet.

    Is the salad bar part of the pizza buffet or is it separate?

    It is, yes! They also have dessert pizza.

    I'm embarrassed to admit how long I've lived in the Middletown area without having ever stopped…read moreinto The Block for a bite. It's really easy to shrug off a deli/sandwich shop by saying, "It's just sandwiches, nothing special about that" like some reviews I've seen. I think those reviews miss the entire point of the neighborhood deli. I've been two days in a row this week. Once for myself, then again for my family after they heard me rave about the sandwiches and people here. Farrah (sp?) greeted me both days with a, "Hi honey! Be right with you!". You don't get a greeting like that very much anymore, and that same care and effort she put into greeting her customers is evident in the construction of the sandwiches too! I mean when was the last time a business - even local - asked your name before you left, unless it was to put on your coffee cup? We've had the club, the Brooklyn, and the veggie caprese and all of them are phenomenal. I don't think you could make a bad choice at The Block - you're gonna be happy and satisfied. Maybe it is "just a sandwich", and maybe I'm overhyping it because of the way the love they have for the customers and product comes through the entire experience....but even if I am, isn't that the entire point of your neighborhood deli?

The tarragon mayo gives it something different, but personally, I wasn't the biggest fan. Give me regular mayo and some crispy bacon and this would've really hit. Customer service was 10/10, though.

C'est le guerre. Two out of three ain't bad. The prices are en pointe! If they had a manager with a brain it could be so much more. The restaurant group owns three other restaurants. Why they have kept the SUCKY mgt here is beyond my understands. I've never owned a restaurant but I have owned companies. No idea why they continue with very poor mgt.

This glorious establishment serves some of the most delicious Mediterranean cuisine I've had the great pleasure to consume, not just in Louisville but in my life. We tried: -Syrian falafel wrap: homemade falafel, french fries, veggies, tarator sauce (tahini/garlic/lemon ). -Vegetarian sampler: falafel, seasoned rice, hummus, baba ganouj, salad, stuffed grape leaves, tarator sauce, pita with JJ's red sauce (YES). Everything was SO good. Beautifully blended and layered flavors, especially the hummus and baba ganouj about which I tend to be very picky. I could have eaten buckets of both. So yes, get the food, but honestly the reason I plan to return again and again is because of the owner, Mr. JJ. This guy is everything. He's kind, efficient, conscientious, a fabulous chef (obviously), intelligent, and has a great sense of humor. During our visit the AC was out, and despite being hot, tired, and likely overwhelmed he was genuinely wonderful, making sure we had everything we needed for a truly memorable and delicious dining experience. Instead of tipping, JJ's requests donations to support feeding hungry people who can't afford healthy food. Truly a gem of a person, a gem of a place. Speed (safely) on over now. Go.

I've had Mediterranean food in Dubai, and this is honestly the closest I've had to that here. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and just really well made. And I have to say... I don't even like hummus, but theirs was out of this world. That alone says a lot. The owner was running the place himself and still putting out amazing food with great presentation. He was also incredibly kind and welcoming--we had a short conversation, and his energy was just so genuine. Parking-wise, I only noticed one handicap spot, but there were multiple close parking spaces nearby that could still work well for anyone needing easier access.
