CoreLife continues to be one of my favorite places to get a salad, lunch or dinner. The menu offers…read moreseveral suggestions, but I always choose a build your own and get a grain with lettuce and favorite toppings. I love the salad dressings and instead of having it put on the bowl, I request 2-3 containers on the side. Overall the line moves quickly and each topping is a good portion. Chicken is my preferred protein alongside feta cheese, cranberries, pickled cabbage, spicy broccoli, and cucumbers. I'd recommend getting the larger bowl. Seating is available inside and out. Taking the order to go is a great option too.

The colorful, fun signage actually made me feel more at ease, especially since "build-your-own" spots can feel a little overwhelming at first. I appreciated that they also had pre-made menu options for those of us who don't want to think too hard. I went with the Chicken Chipotle + Tortilla broth, and my boyfriend ordered a steak bowl, both were fresh, flavorful, and honestly hit the spot. Service: Smooth and welcoming Food: Fresh, healthy, and well-seasoned Environment: Clean, bright, and easy to navigate Now, the total came to $34.81, which is a bit on the pricier side, but in today's economy, that's becoming the norm. And for where I am in my health journey, being intentional about what I put into my body matters more than anything. For me, it was worth it. The Verdict: Worth it for a fresh, healthy option, especially when you want something quick but still aligned with your goals. If you're in the Louisville area, I'd definitely recommend checking out this spot, it's the only one here, and it delivers.

The concept is Chipotle style but it's healthier and they use veggies, sweet potatoes, etc. The first time I went it was very busy but they moved the line through quickly. And that even includes when I said I was gluten-free and they used ingredients from the main pots to avoid cross contamination. I really appreciated that extra effort. The food is tasty, but I wish there were more options. Fresh ingredients and love the restaurant's rustic vibe.

The staff is wonderful and very attentive. We ate in the dining room and enjoyed everything about it as it was very comfortable. You can also eat in bar area or on the patio overlooking the river. We had amazing cocktails. Get the Limewater. It may very well be the best gin cocktail I have ever had. We enjoyed the shrimp and grits and Greek meatballs for our appetizers. I ordered the strip lion for my entree and was not disappointed. It was cooked to perfection. If you are in Frankfort this is a must stop for dinner!

A salad that is served to you by an employee, not gathered from a bar that has sat for hours and has food and utensils that have been handled and coughed over by hundreds of people? Then Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen is your answer! I was so pleased to find this wonderful salad kitchen so close to my home. The Shelbyville Rd area (near 265) is overrun with fast food and bar/barfood options; there are few healthy, delicious options. So yes, I was thrilled to find Vinaigrette. There are suggested salad offerings (e.g., Bluegrass Blackberry, Harvest Kale) or, one can build their own. I have some dietary restrictions and the staff were very kind and accommodating, even making helpful suggestions as I went down the line to have my toppings added. I opted for the BLT deluxe and it was beyond delicious. The bourbon smoked paprika dressing was definitely a hit! In addition to salads there are also some really appetizing grain bowl and soup options. I'm going to have to be a frequent flyer to try several of them! As if they delicious salad wasn't enough, they had several tea options, including my favorite, unsweetened hibiscus! My husband was in awe with his orange/ginger lemonade. The establishment was very clean, as was the restroom (well-stocked too). Vinaigrette is located in a small strip mall, just off the intersection of Shelbyville Rd and North Hurstbourne Parkway. Thank you, Vinaigrette for being in my 'neck of the woods; I'll certainly be back!'

Family legend has it that my ancestors left Ireland for the new world to survive during the great…read morepotato famine, little could they know that generations later, an offspring would come face to face with the great Elizabethtown McAlisters potato famine. One month ago, I stopped in for lunch, I had a real craving for a baked potato. I stood in line for over 20 minutes - the lines move slow when you want a baked potato in this restaurant. I got to the counter, knowing full well I'd be late back to work due to the slow service at this particular location, placed my order for a delicious baked potato only to be met with "we don't have any spuds" I felt a stronger connection to my Irish kinfolk that day. I changed my order for a bowl of potato soup. The soup was a typical mediocre bowl of potato soup with maybe 4 actual pieces of potato in a creamy sauce. Boring. Approximately four weeks after this visit, my entire family decided they wanted to go to McAlister's - the same location nonetheless. I thought to myself "self, surely they have potatoes now!" (Foreshadowing). We arrived and, dreaming of delicious baked potatoes, we all each ordered a meal with a half spud. I had the honor of paying the large sum and I even left a generous tip because I was so excited that they had baked potatoes (they call them spuds). I usually don't tip for counter service - but I was just so excited. Finally, the Irish curse was broken. We Will Have Potatoes! We got our gigantic, flimsy tea cups and made our way to our table. Many minutes later. 8 or 9 minutes? A person came over to announce "we don't have spuds. You need to reorder." Suddenly it was the 19th century all over again. The entire family decided to migrate to another restaurant next door. I asked for a refund. The employee left then came back and said "they are going to refund your money and give you the food even still" Oh my. Decision time. Free food that we don't really want or go next door. I voted to leave. My ancestors have been through this before. Not again I said! I got out voted. We spent the next 10 minutes deciding and working to re-order all the food again. The food came. It was ok. Perhaps I was jaded because of the whole potato (um...spuds) thing. The next day I checked my card account online. They didn't refund the meal. We ended up paying for food we didn't really want. We should have gone to the place next door. To be fair, the folks were nice and pleasant. The store was clean and well organized. One last thing: Don't get the cookies. Not worth the cost. Save the money and the calories and find something better at the Bundt cake store! So long McAlister's, I must honor the ancestors and bid you farewell. I'll be getting my baked potatoes elsewhere- maybe that new giant Kroger has a good deal on potatoes....i mean spuds. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on the spuds.

Even ordering their take out is always phenomenal, I truly do not get sick of this place and this past visit I wanted to try yet another different item on their menu so I ordered their lamb plate and my goshhhhhh I need to eat it again!

09/02/2026 We had 25 Residents from Swan Pointe join us…read moretonight at Lou Lou in Middletown. We were greeted at the door and shown where our group was sitting. We were all really looking forward to this night. Our server was Deanna B. and she was a very hard worker! When we got to the table she was already pouring ice waters and taking beverage orders. The tables were filling up. We had so many people that that they had to seat 4 of us in the section right below the upper level. It worked out perfectly because two of us use canes and this way, we didn't have to climb the steps. The General Manager, Tom Legge, came over to our table and introduced himself to us. He brought us ice water and took our beverage orders. He went over some of the menu items with us. I had looked at the menu ahead of time and decided that the Hot Brown was exactly what I wanted. My husband loves Hot Browns but he also loves Pizza so he ordered a 10" Hot Brown Pizza for his dinner. A friend at the table with me ordered a Hot Brown also and her husband ordered Linguine and it came with 5 huge meatballs. Tom went ahead and turned in our orders so that we would be able to get our food a bit earlier. Meanwhile, Deanna was taking orders at the upper tables. She did an excellent job. She took 21 orders and got those turned in to the kitchen. Most of their orders were Shrimp & Grits, Chicken Carbonara, and Crab Cakes. Quite a few more ordered the Hot Brown. It didn't take much time before the GM brought out our entrees. Our Hot Browns were beautiful! A Louisville classic! There were layers of roasted turkey, laid upon on a slice of Brussétta bread, topped with smoked bacon, and tomatoes and covered with mornay sauce. Oh my! It was delicious. My husband's 10" Hot Brown Pizza was beautiful and was made on Pizza crust. It was really good, but after my husband tasted my Hot Brown, he decided that he liked the Hot Brown a bit better. Our other friend that was at the table with us ordered the Linguine and it came with 5 meatballs- in fact they were huge meatballs. It was served with Marinara sauce. He really thought it was good, but could only eat about 3/4 of it, so he took the remainder of his meal home with him. GM Tom talked the four of us into sharing the Bread Pudding that was topped with a Caramel Glaze. It was a perfect size for the four of us to top off our meal. We had a great time and I was very glad to find a restaurant with a 5 Hot Brown! Robyn

Deciding what to order was another story. I let my indecision rule the day and went with the Bayou Sampler, along with an appetizer of Boudin Balls. Jambalaya, Gumbo, Red Beans and Rice, and Étouffée, with a side of dirty rice, now that's a lot of Cajun goodness! I knew there was no way I could eat it all in one sitting, so I paced myself. I started with just one of the three excellent Boudin Balls and saved the other two for later. When the sampler arrived, it smelled incredible. I enjoyed everything, but if I had to rank them, the Étouffée was definitely my favorite, followed by the Jambalaya, Gumbo, and then Red Beans and Rice. And just to be clear, everything was good! That's simply my personal ranking. I also have to mention the excellent piece of alligator sausage that came with the Red Beans and Rice. That was a nice bonus. I rounded out the meal with a cold glass of red ale...or maybe two. And I can't forget to mention the bartenders. All three provided excellent service and helped make the evening a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I filled up my to go box and headed out the door satisfied. I definitely won't wait so long before returning to Lou Lou!
