We came to Gander, an American Grill on English Station Road for its Monday-night special, and it may be one of the best dinner values in East Louisville. For $15, you get the featured entrée, one side, and your choice of a soda, tea, glass of wine, or bottled beer. We arrived just before 7:00 p.m., and there was already a wait--which is usually a good sign at a local restaurant. The atmosphere is friendly and casual, the waitstaff is attentive, the food is delicious, and the beer is cold. There are plenty of TVs for watching sports, plus both indoor seating and an outdoor patio. If you're looking for a casual restaurant near Landis Lakes or the Middletown area, Gander is a solid choice--especially on Monday nights. We'll definitely be back, again! read more

I was in town yesterday for a meeting and stopped in for lunch. I sat at the bar, which is well stocked. The beer taps and soft drinks were down yesterday due to mechanical issues. I ordered the Shrimp & Grits, which was a huge portion for lunch. It was very good. I didn't check out the main dining area, but the bar area has plenty of TV's. read more

6/10/26 We had 18 Residents of Swan Pointe's HOA go to Gander: An American Grill. It's a large restaurant and tonight it was full. Our group sat in the front window and it gave us enough room to eat comfortably and talk to our friends. Our server was Cloe S and she jumped right in and started taking our drink orders. We met the General Manager, Scott Weber. He was very friendly and stopped by very often to check on us. Cloe took our orders and really did a wonderful job at it. My husband and I chose the Hot Browns, in fact quite a few of us ordered the Hot Browns. Chicken Livers were very popular and so were the Hamburgers and Fish and Chips. Several other servers and the GM pitched in and helped Cloe deliver the food to our tables. It really was about as smooth as I've ever seen with a crowd of 18 people. Everyone really seemed to be enjoying their meals. In fact it's the quietest we all ever get! LOL! Cloe did great passing out the checks and getting the payments back. In all the dinners we've had, I know this was the smoothest. Cloe was excellent!! The food was delicious. The way that the servers and runners helped out was just wonderful! Thank you Mr. Weber for having such a wonderful staff! Robyn read more

Visiting Louisville and needed a quick meal fresh made meal and a drink. So happen this place showed up in our search! We enjoyed one of the best buffalo wings I've had, excellent quality chicken, the were not only sauced but seasoned. In-house ranch and blue cheese were delicious. I had a salad with fried chicken, really hit the spot for a semi healthy meal, good quality greens. :) Fresh crisp chicken, not too salty but perfectly seasoned. My partner loved the Mac and cheese, American cheesy goodness. He said the burger was ok but definitely chicken stands out here. Outstanding service with Nina our bartender/server. We hope to return this week :) read more

The chicken fried chicken at Gander is classic comfort food done right. The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender inside, and generously portioned. The peppery white gravy was thick, creamy, and full of flavor, with smooth, buttery mashed potatoes rounding out the plate. Service was quick, and the cozy ambiance made the meal even more enjoyable. read more

We had not been here in over a year and decided to pull in on a whim. I had a sirloin steak with asparagus and a baked sweet potato. It was good. Not great, but very good. My wife felt the same about the shrimp and grits. We had good service and the same upscale casual feel was there. Good experience and I'm sure we will come back at some point, but it fell short of greatness. read more

Kelly, our waiter was very attentive. He made sure that things were cleared off the table and water and drinks filled. The ambiance was nice and lively. Most importantly , clean. The bourbon shrimp was delicious. The fried green tomatoes weren't bad. I would come back. read more

Once again, I found myself disappointed. This location is near the nursing home where my wife works. There was a new menu item: pork belly tacos, which my wife said she enjoyed. I ordered the Gander Burger and asked for it to be cooked rare, but it arrived well done. It seemed to be made up of 75% soy meal, which made it so dry I couldn't even eat it. However, that wasn't the worst part. We decided to sit at the bar since it was crowded, but two children were running around--presumably employees' kids--bumping into our table. They really need to keep children out of the bar area. This made the entire evening a disaster. read more

Fun for date night, family brunch, or even a business lunch or dinner. I highly recommend Gander! read more

We had lunch here for the first time recently, and while it was good, there just wasn't much that stood out. On the weekends they offer brunch, which I had thought about, but chose lunch instead. I had chicken tenders and fries and a mimosa to drink. Our waitress was friendly and checked on us throughout our meal. We may go back but because the location is convenient but I was hoping there would be something to make it stand our a little more. read more

Great food! I work next door and go there often. The food is always so good! Never had a bad thing from there!!

Food is very good and the mixed drink was also very good. The service was the way you expect to get.

Great service and great food! The fried green tomatoes are to die for! It's very busy in the evenings and weekends. However, the wait is usually not that long. read more

WOW! My family and I went here for a late Mother's Day dinner and it blew all of our expectations out of the water. We started with pretzels and queso as an appetizer - very good, very standard. We also grabbed drinks, the Rasptini, the blueberry drop, and the 15th state. They were all wonderful. For food, we tried the filet medallions, the salmon, and the shrimp tacos. Again, everything was beyond phenomenal. For sides we tried mashed potatoes, green beans, the sweet potato, and the mac and cheese. All were pretty good. The service was wonderful as well and everything truly exceeded our expectations. read more

This was the best chicken fried chicken I've had in the last ten years anywhere! Take a Gander over here as this place has figured out the consistency of batter needed to compliment perfectly juicy chicken and still remain crispy and light in texture. The service was fast, especially considering a party of 12 sat just before us and had their food order put in. The manager stopped by to help the staff out when they got busy with the larger group. The carbonara could use a little more flavor, but if you came here for the chicken fried chicken dinner, you wouldn't be disappointed. read more

Gander An American Grill - Chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes and mac-n-cheese. - American Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We love Gander. We go pretty much weekly. We enjoy the bar with its great locals atmosphere and top notch bartenders. So many good items on the menu. Salads are fresh with great dressings. My favorite is the grilled chicken club. The cilantro sauce on that is special. Consistently well prepared food. My only request is for thinner fries. There were 5 of us including 3 teenagers last week. No one ordered fries because they don't care for the sidewinder style. So management, if you're listening, please consider adding traditional fries like you have at the Goose. read more

Delicious, upscale pub food at this spot in suburban Louisville. Thanks to Patrick, our server, for providing outstanding service. Gracious, funny, informed and engaging, Patrick made some suggestions, got the order correct and kept the meal flowing - glasses full, plates bussed. THANK YOU! The Drunken Burger is great. A sizable patty, prepared perfectly medium and slathered with bourbon glaze, adorned with tobacco onions, lettuce and tomato on a brioche bun. Was the perfect combination. Shout out to the fries - thick curls of potato, fried to crispy deliciousness. More like a potato skin than a fry - these were excellent. read more

Great music great environment and the kindest people. Definitely recommend. I had the KY Hot brown and it was amazing. My grandmother greatly enjoyed the chicken livers and the gumbo soup. Once again the service was wonderful! read more

We got takeout so I can't speak to the ambience or service of the restaurant, but the food was great! I got the steak tacos, side Caesar salad, and pretzels and cheese. The steak tacos were very generous portions so I'm glad I got two, they really don't skimp on the meat so two would probably suffice most people. Great flavor too and not dry at all. The pretzels and cheese though were my favorite. The pretzels were nice and crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Again they had a generous serving of the queso which is much appreciated for a take out order. All of it was delicious and satisfying. Online ordering process was also super easy. read more

Overall, it was OK, but I would not return. The portions of food were quite small. They gave me about seven curly fries. Tbh I have had better Cole slaw at KFC. Service was fine. The server was attentive. I don't really understand what the restaurant vibe is because there is no ambiance! read more

We only have had it delivered, so I can't comment on service or atmosphere, but the food is killer! My husband loves their friend chicken, and I absolutely love their meatloaf. The meatloaf actually tastes like my grandma's, and it's perfect for fall and winter! We can't wait to try this place out in person! read more

My Sweetheart and I were reminded today of why the Gander restaurant is one of our favorites in Louisville. The Easter brunch was delicious and the selections were voluminous to say the least. The service was wonderful. The staff did a superb job of keeping the large crowd supplied with drinks. We can hardly wait for the Mother's Day event! read more

Gander An American Grill - Shrimp and Grits - American Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

We made the mistake of stumbling in here on half price bottle of wine night. My guess is they have this promotion on the day before they have their food service truck arrive so they can get as much old food out of the walk-in refrigerator as possible. Unfortunately for the diners you will have salads with a lot of brown on the lettuce and I received a plate full of fried chicken livers with blood on the plate. 81 bucks for the privilege of probably spending the night in my bathroom with a pillow and a blanket. read more

Awesome food! My favorite place to eat. Great service and Management super friendly. Thank you Gander team!

Service was awesome, food was really good. It's a perfect local restaurant. The owner came by to thank us for visiting.

8/6/22 I came here with my boyfriend for brunch. I was interested for brunch here but more so because of the chicken liver option. Was craving something different. We ordered fried green tomatoes, chicken livers, biscuits and gravy , skillet hash and coffee. Everything was brought out so quickly. Our food came out with our appetizers. Our waitress Katelyne B was phenomenal and legit memorized our order without writing anything down and got it right. We were greeted and seated immediately upon arrival. We both thoroughly enjoyed our food and would most definitely return here again in the future. There's a great selection of bourbon options as well as other drinks here. Great spot for a quick and laid back environment. read more

Ok burger, fast, order accurate to what we placed. Fries were not crispy. But they do have a gluten free bun!

This was our first time to eat here. It was fair. The food was good, but not outstanding. I had the fish & chips and my wife had the hot brown. The menu was a bit pricey for lunch. Our server was below average. She never even asked us if we wanted a drink other than water. The noise level was very high and the friends we were with could hardly hear us talk. read more
