I love Toasty's Tavern. I had dinner there on a weeknight with coworkers. We started with a round of drinks. We all got something different and they were all delicious!! We all got Toasty Burgers for dinner. They were so good! The smash burger, with the seasoned fries, and the homemade ranch were absolutely PERFECT!! Everything was hot, fresh, and cooked to perfection. The waitress we had was wonderful too. She added to our overall experience and was wonderful to meet. I can't wait to go back!
Toasty's is always a good idea, the burgers are so good the fries are so good the sauces are so good. All so good. I've never actually been inside because I always sit outside so I can't comment on that but the outdoor area is nice. Decent prices and service has always been good.
Can't say enough good stuff about toastys. The bun, the burger, the fry seasoning, the people, it's just 10/10. Only hope is that they get a bigger spot soon, they deserve it!
Allegedly the best smash burger in town! My friends all love coming here so I had to come by and see what the hype was all about. When we got there, they didn't have any tables open. We waited like 2 minutes then got seated. Service was quick. They gave us cold waters immediately upon sitting down then asked if we wanted to get any other drinks. My friend opted for the Diet Coke. I stuck with water. We shared the fries, which had a really nice seasoning...something similar to a dry rub you'd put on meat. I got the cheeseburger since it's the best seller, while my friend got the breakfast sandwich. She comes here a lot and has tried most things on the menu. It's very much diner style food. A little greasy, no frills. The smash burger had a nice crispiness to it. Overall, I didn't find it to be the most flavorful burger I've had. While Louisville doesn't have a ton of smash burger joints, I have to give it to them for making a really nice, thin, crispy patty. Not sure if anyone else does that around here. They have a ton of seating though. And they're dog friendly. Prices are pretty reasonable. Definitely a cheaper option. And the fries are shareable. They give you a LOT for the price. Parking around here is parallel. Sometimes it's tough to find a spot in front but I never have issues finding parking on the side streets. Service was good. They were pretty attentive. Food was fast and our server came around a lot to check on us. And they were pretty busy so I was happy to see that!
Hands down the best cheeseburger I've had. The vibes are awesome. First come, first served. Expect a wait but there is a bar across the street you can grab a drink. The wait time goes by really fast. Great beer selection. But obviously get the cheeseburger. And they have stickers. So fun.
Cute place. Service was great! Food was just ok. I was disappointed. This place came highly recommended. We were just here two days ago for lunch. We each got a cheeseburger and my friend got hers with no lettuce and I got mine as is. I ordered the chili cheese fries to share. I should have asked about mayonnaise because my burger had too much mayonnaise on it.. I scraped some off added some mustard and it was just OK. And I was craving a burger! The chili cheese fries had so much chili and melted cheese on top that I could hardly get to the french fries to have a decent mix between the two. I know, complaining about too much chili and cheese on fries makes me lame. Our server really was great and the food came out as ordered, quickly even, and a manager or somebody checked on us mid meal as well. I just was disappointed by the burger and the chili cheese fries. It wasn't too hot a day and they opened the door and then we were just bombarded by flies which made it hard to eat and swipe at the same time. Honestly, I don't think I'll come back.
Visiting Louisville and Looking for a Great Burger. Found Toasty's Tavern. I tried to call in an order, but the phone went to voicemail. I ordered at the bar. I got it to go. We ordered the Double Cheeseburger with smashed patties, Pop's Pickles, lettuce, griddled onions, and American cheese. Toasty's sauce in the side. Holy Hamburger was it delicious and took me down to hamburger heaven. Juicy, melty cheese, awesome onions, crisp Pop's Pickles, and Incredible flavor. Voted best burger and there's a reason, because it's so freaking delicious. I enjoyed every bite. I did the sauce on the side because I didn't want to mask any of the beef flavor. The Toasty's sauce is good and ketchup and mustard also work. Just an amazing, delicious, incredible burger. We shared an order of fries with the magic dust. They were also really good, but I couldn't eat many because I was full from all that delicious burger. Very good fries. The service was good. I would definitely return if in the area. I have heard the neighborhood is sketchy and we went at night. I didn't feel unsafe and there were people walking around the streets. Always be aware of your surroundings if not from the area.
I stopped into Toasty's during the lunch rush at 3pm on the day they rolled out the new Spring menu. They had cocktail menu and a few updated dishes. The place was a little hectic but the kitchen delivered without major delays. I tried two of the new cocktails, both $11. The Spice - nice spicy honey flavor, tasted nice and sweet with a solid kick, but the presentation was bizarre. It came in a standard rocks glass with no ice and what looked like about two-thirds of a normal pour. I literally looked at it and said to myself, "Where's the rest?" For the price, it felt more like a shot than a proper cocktail. I'm sure they'll get some questions about it from customers. The Monthly Cocktail, the Habanero Mango Spicy Margarita, was excellent--strong mango flavor upfront and a serious spicy finish that actually delivered a kick without overpowering everything. That one was worth the money. The food is where Toasty's really shines. The double cheeseburger ($15) is a very solid size, easily Whopper-level, nicely greasy in the best way, and the house cheese "Toasty sauce" gives it a creamy, sharp, melty cheesy punch that ties everything together. No complaints there. The fries ($3.50 extra) are thin-cut, extra crispy, and heavily seasoned with a Cajun-style blend that reminded me of Five Guys but with its own twist. They were REALLY good and worth getting. Overall the food is very good and I can see exactly why people around town call Toastys one of the best burgers. The drinks were mostly decent, except for the odd portioning on The Spice. If you're there for the burger and fries, you'll leave happy. Solid spot.
To borrow from Jules Winnfield, this is a tasty burger! I love a good smash burger (most any burger, to be fair, but a well-seasoned, crispy, caramelized patty is a thing of beauty). And theirs is pretty darn high on my list...perfectly grilled, nice splash of sauce, melted cheese, some onions...only regret (which I will remedy next time) was just going with the single patty. Don't fail as I did, get the double. Sides are quite good. Fries with magic dust and some cheese sauce go great with anything or stand out on their own. The pickle dip was good, but didn't really stand up alongside the rest of the menu. Some great cocktails too, don't skip out there (or if you prefer a beer, some good options there too). Vibe is super laid back (see the sign in the photos). I think there's some outdoor space, but it's also pretty small--not a critique at all, just a note to be aware when you're planning a trip. But you can easily put your name and enjoy a drink at the Canary Club across the street while you wait, a delightful little combo. Bartenders and servers are awesome. Attentive and friendly.
The menu is a little limited but the portions were huge. The fries were crispy and well seasoned! Our drinks took awhile to come and the food wasn't piping hot but it was a busy Saturday so understandable. The patio was a fun place to sit while we waited.
We went on a Thursday and stood outside on the waitlist. According to the website, Thursday is college night, 25% off with a college ID. We were seated at the bar, the bartender was apologetic about our wait. I ordered the cheeseburger with a double patty, fries and a cup of chili. The chili was tasty, lots of beef and beans. The cheeseburger was yummy, I enjoyed the onions smashed into the patties. Fries were crispy and so good dipped in the ranch. I will say the cheeseburger was greasy, the bun was a bit soggy. If a greasy burger isn't your thing I would probably order something else on the menu.
I made my last two hour drive to Toasty's this evening. I tried to place an online order- unavailable. I called several times. The one time they did answer, I was met with a miserable attitude. "We're busy. We're not taking your order. I don't care how long your drive was, call back in an hour." I understand a busy Saturday evening. What I don't understand, is completely disregarding a customer that made a two hour round trip for a cheeseburger. If the wait was an hour, why not take my order now to be picked up at a later time when the kitchen has caught up? With the time and gas I wasted, I could have purchased the ingredients and made enough cheeseburgers for my entire neighborhood.
Toasty's feels like such a Louisville Institution™. We were going to see a show with some friends and were trying to decide where to eat beforehand. As soon as someone mentioned Toasty's everyone jumped up and agreed. We started with the pickle dip that everyone loved. For my entree, I just knew this was a place where you couldn't go wrong with a burger and fries, and I was correct in my assumption. The burger is a beautifully simple crispy edged smash burger, and the fries are, as advertised, among the best in town. The atmosphere is super welcoming and homey. They were a little understaffed the day we went but it was no problem, we still got taken care of amazingly. Definitely come by here if you haven't already!
Okay, I finally understand what everyone is talking about. I went to Toasty's Tavern specifically for the burger and fries because I have heard so many people rave about them, & they were literally everything I hoped they would be! The burger was delicious, but the fries honestly deserve their own paragraph. They have the subtle smoky flavor that immediately reminded me of the smell of campfires at my aunts place in the country when I was growing up. There's just something about them that's just so good.& they absolutely do not need a condiment. They're perfect completely on their own. I also ordered the fried mushrooms as an appetizer & those were delicious too. The only problem was that I very quickly realized I had ordered way too much food for one person, but was I going to let perfectly good food go to waste? Absolutely not. So naturally, I ate all of it. No regrets. The burger, the fries, the mushrooms, everything hit. I completely understand the hype now! read more

Toasty's Tavern is one of those unassuming spots that turns out to be a lot of fun! They have both indoor and outdoor seating, although the indoor seating is limited. Bar seating is available as well. The outdoor area has a large Connect 4 game, which is a fun touch while you wait. The atmosphere is casual, energetic, and just plain fun. And the burgers! They're smashed, crispy-edged burgers served with sweet pickles, griddled onions, lettuce, and Toasty's special sauce. We shared a basket of their seasoned fries and added a side of "fry sauce," which is a delicious mix of mayo and ketchup. The menu is very reasonably priced, making this a great place for an afternoon meal without spending a fortune. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed the laid-back, fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

Toasty's Tavern is such a fun spot and definitely one of Louisville's hidden gems! The atmosphere is welcoming, laid back, and full of personality -- the kind of place you instantly feel comfortable in. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and you can tell they genuinely care about creating a great experience for everyone who walks through the door. The food was fantastic, with great flavor and generous portions, and everything came out quickly. Whether you're stopping in for a casual night out, meeting friends, or just looking for a neighborhood bar with good vibes, Toasty's absolutely delivers. Louisville has a lot of great places, but Toasty's Tavern stands out for its charm, hospitality, and overall atmosphere. We can't wait to come back! They have a great area for outside seating and allow dogs out there! We also bought some of their magic dust seasoning. They have quite a bit of merch to purchase as well! read more

One of the best burgers in town. Get a double!! Greasy, crispy edges, juice patty, melty cheese. The fries are super crispy it seems like they use a wet batter but it's the perfect ratio of batter to potato. If you try the pickle dip, save it to dip your fries in. Inside and outdoor seating. They have heaters and plastic drapes when it's cold. Grab some friends or your SO and go grub! read more

Wow!! I was pleasantly impressed with this place in Louisville! Very simple menu but the burgers and fries were absolutely incredible. The burgers reminded me of in and out in the best way possible. Great flavor. Amazing taste. Perfect burger consistency. But the real star of the show were the French fries! YOU MUST TRY the French fries. They were so good we got a second batch and are even thinking of going back today before we leave! Service was top notch too with multiple servers checking in on us. Ambience was matching of a cool burger bar! I will be back for sure! read more

Great authentic smash burgers, with neighborhood hipster vibes. After buying Toasty's magic dust seasoning I decided I needed to visit. It's a great spot nestled near Shelby park. I walked right in and found a seat. I ordered a double with cheese and a basket of the seasoned fries. The burger a very traditional smash burger plenty of cooked onions and cheese. A tasty sauce and soft bun. Cooked perfectly with a tapered crispy edge. The fries delicious seasoned with the patented magic dust. Not spicy just bold flavor. The price is pretty standard these days after tip pretty much twenty bucks. It's worth a visit lots of vibes it's a smash burger lovers dream. read more

This is a hidden spot ~ was able to try the Hamburger very good charred loved the pickles I did not try the vegan hamburger. Their fries are good regular but the best for me are their mushrooms ~ they were deep fried and large almost resembled ribs lol ~ they came with these two sauces which were fantastic. I was a little taken aback at the bartender they were out of the advertised Wednesday specialty drinks which were Watermelon did get to sample one which is why I wanted one but they were out when asked about the price of the two drinks was told the price and ordered the small but charged a different price and the drink was full of juice no liquor not likely to order again Ambiance was outside a little small but fitting for summer. Best thing about this place is the Mushrooms! Delicious read more
First visit. Believe the hype. Sat at the bar on a Thursday evening with a friend. Service was stellar. Double smash was fantastic and fries were on point, as well. Burger was very heavy/greasy so be prepared. Great vibe. Only suggestion is they add a couple of TVs behind the bar, which would make it a good spot to catch a game. Looking forward to another visit. read more
This is a cool little spot. If you are a fan of crispy fries you will be happy. The cheese sauce we got on the side was very good, not just some cheese sauce out of a can. It had some flavor. I got the McToasty and added the burger patty. It was very tasty. Staff were all cool and attentive. read more

A chill spot with great service and food! Brittany was our server and she was great! The fried mushrooms were good, the fries were just "meh", the house margarita (they were out of the monthly special) was on par for your average margarita, but the cheeseburger was excellent! There was steady business but our food came out really quickly, was hot, fresh, and good. Love any place that has outdoor seating, especially a covered patio for hot or rainy days. We'll definitely be back! read more

Honestly one of the best burgers I had all year! Simple, tasty and just unreal. A smashburger without all the fluff. And those fries - well seasoned and crispy. I ordered the shut the f*** up Amber cocktail with bourbon and passion fruit puree. Well balanced and a treat. John the server was super chill. Edgy tavern vibes with killer burgers and drinks. A god tier Louisville destination read more

Had another pleasant evening at Toasty's. No frills and mix of families, hipsters, young, and old. The patio is pleasant and very informal with picnic tables and space to spread out. There are plenty of servers roaming, so you're unlikely to wait long. They churn out yummy smash burgers with a signature sauce that is something like a light pickly relish and mayo. It's pretty tasty. Quality meal that's great for the family. read more

Toasty's never misses! Their food is immaculate, seasoned properly, timely delivered accompanied with great cocktails, or whatever your preference of beverage is. Also..dog friendly! Shout out to Kim today!! They were my server and service was 100 out of 10. Kim, if you see this, I was the girl with Jolene (my dog) who also got a kids cheeseburger while my friend and I ate our meals Kim was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, correct and on point with every single thing. Customer service also 100 out of 10. Best smash burgers and fries in the ville and a friendly, inclusive staff read more
This spot is know for its burgers and it didn't miss. The service was pretty good. Cleanliness is what's to be expected for a dive. I'd come back for the food as the burger was flavorful. The air wasn't working too well which is why I took off a star. I couldn't quite get comfortable read more

Is there anything Gluten-Free?
It's a pretty bread heavy menu. There are a couple of omelets that are probably safe. The Wedge Salad has breadcrumbs but you could probably order without. You could also ask about the loaded fries to see what kind of thickener they use on the gravy.
