The parking lot at Mark's is always full with people strolling to the door from nearby streets too. We have ordered carry out several times after moving just a few blocks away (tried the barbecue, brisket, and fried fish) and they were just okay. I really wanted to love this place due to its close proximity to our home, so we recently went for indoor dining.... and it remains just okay. The interior screams of a 1970's cafeteria and so does the food. I ordered the brisket and the serving was very small, served in a paper french fry dish, and was 3/4 fat. The side of green beans was an oily mess. I know Mark's is a Louisville icon (open since 1988), but I doubt that I will return. My 'dinner platter' was certainly not worth $16.99. We each ordered a beer (different) and our server was unaware that my choice was not available and didn't inform me until after my husband was served. Had we known that, he would have have waited to have a beer with me later at another establishment. For those who are interested, children eat free on Tuesday nights with a paying adult. read more
