    L-R (yak, Venison Meatball Sampler, Kangaroo Meatball Sampler)
    Liz J.

    This restaurant caught my husband's attention because of the different kinds of meat you will not normally find in other places. We are not foodies but we love to try new things and so here we are! As soon as you walk in, you will enjoy all the displays on the wall like deer head and other animals. Very cool ambiance and place is clean! We were greeted by this sweet young lady who answered all our questions about the different kinds of meat they serve and where those meats came from. Apologies that I can't remember her name, but she was the server on Monday about 5pm. Very sweet lady who shared with us that she is vegetarian and we all had a good laugh at that! We ordered frog legs which tasted like chicken. For the other meat, we ordered kangaroo, venison, and yak. We just ordered one of each to try and they were served in meatball sampler size which is good to share and still enjoy the richness and unique flavor of each one of them. I think they are all well seasoned and came out really good. I can't really tell which one is my most favorite and which is not because to me they all tasted good! A must-try restaurant if you are in KY!

    It was almost really good.... I just felt like there was an overall sense of the place, the food, the menu, not getting the TLC it deserves. It was pretty dang cold inside, to start with. There were cobwebs and dust on the wall hangings, top of the booths, and the trimming on the wall. The bartender seemed a little unengaged. I ordered a jalapeno margarita that was way too sweet. Maybe they use a jalapeno simple syrup? I'm not sure, but it overpowered the drink. My scotch eggs with pork belly was served lukewarm. The breading on the scotch egg was pretty flavorless and lacked seasoning. The white sauce on the plate was delicious, but you definitely need a ton more if the eggs are going to be so plain. The pork belly was well cooked with a nice smokey meets soy flavor, but I'm not sure if it was supposed to be served hot or cold? Because it was neither. I got a corn veggie burger. I really liked that there was actual corn flavor in it, pointing to the patty being relatively fresh. But all the food had a similar taste to it? I don't know why and don't want to speculate. Even the lettuce and tomato was just kind of... flat. I know that happens sometimes, but securing great produce is part of what makes some restaurants top-notch. Overall, this location of Game feels like a place with a great foundation and great menu that needs to get back in shape.

    Game is an interesting concept, I love trying different foods and expanding my taste palette. I do think that the restaurant is over hyped than it's out to be and the interior confused me because it reminded me of a bar shack, shabby, and tacky. Service was excellent and our waitress addy-Clare is outstanding with her politeness and service!

    Game is a really cool and casual restaurant with meat from a wide variety of exotic animals around the world. The food was good, and the service was friendly and attentive. The ambiance is very casual and has a lodge theme. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with booths, tables and seats at the bar. The range of food options is incredible. While Game is a meat lover's paradise, they also have vegetarian options available. I'm a meat lover, so I went with a heavy dose of meat. We started with four sampler meatballs - Antelope meatball - really flavorful - probably our favorite - Camel meatball - good, with nice seasoning - Elk - really good flavor with house seasoning - Kangaroo - good, but a little dry After that we got the Slider Trio - Wild Boar Chorizo Slider, Roasted Bison Tongue Slider, and Duck Confit Slide. The boar chorizo was good, and the duck confit was amazing. I was not a fan of the bison tongue - funky flavor and tough. The spices and sauces Game used to complement the meat in the sandwiches was a great combination. We also ordered a Prime Angus Burger, which was cooked perfectly and was juicy. For sides we ordered some French fries that were perfect and some fried green tomatoes which were good. We will definitely return.

    I was very excited to try to bone marrow, it was amazing! The meatball safari also offered a variety of meat options so I was able to try a lot of the ones I wanted. All the different meat had distinctive different flavors from one another I enjoyed every single one!

    I think I've reviewed before, quite a while ago. We've come for every special occasion for some time & I think it's official, my husband has had every item on the menu! This last item was Rabbit (not pictured), unfortunately it personally has been his least favorite but that is no one's fault! Just doesn't like it. Service is always fantastic as always & on top of it! Glad they weren't extremely busy so it was a relaxing dinner, I suppose we chose the right time! It was my husband's birthday & his best friend brought him Oreo Dessert from home to share! Thought we'd make the staffs night & shared it with our waitress & the kitchen staff, they were VERY appreciative! Thanks for always providing wonderful dishes!

    Great burger spot! Check them out for Lou burger week--any other time check them out for a classic or exotic burger Indoor/outdoor seating, eclectic feel, perfect for a date or catching up with friends

    We went at opening time and it was probably the same temperature inside that it was outside, about 50 degrees. We wore our coats the whole time. The food was hot, fresh and service was outstanding. I would want to try coming in after they have been open for awhile next time and see if the temperature is more moderate. 5 stars for the food, just took off a star because the temperature was uncomfortably cold even with the coats on.

    Kangaroo Burger

    We left disappointed. To sum it up, this place is a weird, overpriced burger joint. Please note, parking is parallel parking and very limited. Seating is also limited and we froze during our visit, despite sitting in the main area. Our server was nice and attentive. We ordered the nacho appetizer, chefs meat choice was venison and chorizo. We received our appetizer quickly. The pico de gallo tasted very fresh, but the meat was not very good. You can order a variety of game in the form of meatballs or burgers. We ordered the yak burger and kangaroo burger. They had a special of swai fish sandwich so we ordered it. Despite the prices being so high, you're paying around $20 just for the sandwich. If you want a side, you have to pay extra. The swai wasn't very "meaty" and wasn't very flavorful. The burgers were cooked well, but I wonder how much of the ground meat was actual wild game or if it has some beef filler to make the meat go further. The menu says all game is sourced from local farms but most swai is imported from Vietnam and I'm not sure where they're slaughtering kangaroos from in Louisville. Also, our food was served on wooden boards. While that may appear neat, I couldn't help but wonder how clean it actually was since wood is so porous and these had clearly been used quite a bit given all the blemishes and cuts in them. All in all, I'm happy to check this restaurant off my collection board but do not recommend and will not return.

    Bison burger and Brussel sprouts with duck fat fries shown above!
    Blake B.

    This place is really something special. Best burgers I've ever had and I'll say it forever. My go to is the Bison burger, with a side of duck fat fries and Brussel sprouts. This place really provides you with so many options of meat to try, and a well put together sampler you can purchase to try a little bit of everything. Staff is very attentive; the place itself is a little smaller so you may be waiting on a busy weekend for a table but it's always worth it! This place is a must try to anyone who loves a good burger; and really want something that breaks the mold!

    Nice little hole in the wall place, very friendly staff! The nachos and frog legs were delicious! I got the slider trio to try a different variety, they were okay. The chorizo was my favorite, the other two I wasn't too fond of because of the texture. If you're looking for something out of your comfort zone you found it

    Patricia Abigail H.

    If you like trying exotic meats then this is the place! Their frog legs were juicy and meaty! We tried different kinds of meatballs like yak and antelope and they were all sooo tasty The service was good! And the restaurant is just minutes away from downtown! They have different types of food and regular food if you're not into exotic meats

    Wow! What a cool experience! We met friends for dinner at Game, and really enjoyed the food and experience! Great prices for the food too. Individual reviews: The meet takes the cake: the meatballs, sliders, and burger were DELICIOUS. The table loved the bone marrow, though that wasn't my thing. I will say, I wasn't impressed with either salad. I had the seasonal salad and my partner had the grilled ceasar. The dressings weren't great and they were too dressed IMO. We also ordered dessert, and WOW! SO good.

I had no idea the veggie burger was the one featured on the show, so as a vegetarian, I was especially excited to try it. I swapped the veggie patty onto the Mushroom & Swiss burger, and it was hands down the best veggie burger I've had in the decade I've been vegetarian. Our group all ordered different burgers, along with the fries and Brussels sprouts, and every single plate was a hit. They have super unique sauces to try as well, I am not a huge pickle fan but the dill pickle hot sauce was my personal favorite. I also recommend grabbing a brown butter toffee cookie on your way out. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere with great music, colorful murals, a lively bar area, and Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives playing on the TVs, which was a nice touch. It's also located in a cute part of downtown Louisville that's worth exploring. The service matched the food. Everyone was welcoming, happy to answer our questions, and made sure we had everything we needed. This will definitely be on my list for a return visit the next time I'm in Louisville.

Instead of the usual fries, you can choose from a salad, fruit cup, edamame, and other fresh sides, which is a nice change. My friend ordered the mushroom and cheese burger, and it was packed with mushrooms and melted cheese in every bite. I had the crispy chicken sandwich, and it was perfectly crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. Drink refills are free, which is always appreciated. The only small inconvenience is that you have to ask an employee for a refill since the drink station isn't easily accessible. It would be even more convenient if the drink machine were located in an area where customers could refill their own drinks. Overall, the food, value, and service make this an easy 5-star experience. I'll definitely be back!

I highly recommend the honey mustard, but they have other sauces, including ranch and Jaggers sauce. For awareness, you'll get two containers of sauce, so extra sauce means three or more containers. I almost always use the mobile app to make an order, but the one time I ordered for takeout at the counter, it took less than two minutes for my salad to be ready, bagged, and on the counter. There is drive thru where a person with an ordering pad will take your order before you go around to the collection window. I warn you, there is always a long line for pickup so ordering ahead for takeout or going inside to order may be quicker.

This isn't a mouth scorching, heartburn inducing culinary dare, but quite simply a perfectly delivered burger with toppings that work well together to deliver a robust flavor with a nice touch of heat. Being my first time in Kentucky I asked for a recommendation for a nice shot of bourbon to sip while I waited for my meal, with the caveats that I'd like for it to be from a lesser known, small distiller and under $25 for the drink. He delivered with a shot of Minor Case Straight Rye Whiskey that has a sherry cask finish from Limestone Branch Distillery. It was smooth with no bite and a nice linger. Three solid hits between the burger, bourbon and bartender - would definitely recommend.

The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.
