Grind Burger Kitchen

This place is so cool-looking from the outside. I went here for the first time in January and thought their cute patio out front would be a neat spot to eat and hangout. The inside is very cool as well- wish I had taken interior pics, but I'm sure that there are some in other reviews. I will say that the place is very clean and organized tho. Service was very good, really enjoyed our server. Decent sized menu- multiple items that I want to come back and try. I ended up getting the Southern burger and my husband built his own. You choose how well done you want your burger- but unlike other places- one of those options is the well done option- which is 2 smash patties- and I thought that was pretty awesome. I love a good smash burger and this one was great. The only thing that I'd complain about little about was the bun- it was too thick and harder than I would have liked. If it were a different bun, my burger would have been one of the best that I've ever had. I would love to see them use a thinner, softer bun. However, that won't stop me from coming back because the food is really delicious. Hand-cut fries and Brussels sprouts were pretty epic too. I really enjoyed this place. Would absolutely recommend it and will absolutely be back.

I've lived in Louisville full-time for 3 years, but I started visiting nearly a decade ago when I moved to Lexington. When I met a friend in Louisville for dinner, he recommended Grind. I enjoyed my burger enough that it became one of my go-to places when I dropped in town, and I'm still trying new things on the menu. I've built my own burger, and also enjoyed the B&B, and Pork. All were good. And while they are known for burgers, they excel at other items. My wife loves their salads. Last time we went, I got the adult grilled cheese for the first time. I did enjoy it, but it felt a little too elevated to me. I'll probably go back to burgers the next time we go. The house cut fries did not disappoint. As for beverages --- pretty reasonably priced and a good beer/bourbon selection. This is a great place to bring visitors because there is usually always room for groups, it's right near the heart of NuLu, and it was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! Which I think is cool.The reason for 4 stars is that while everything is good that I've tried, I think there are better burgers out there for a better price. The ambience in there is also hit-or-miss because I've hardly been inside when it's crowded. It's a big space, so it can feel a little empty.That doesn't impact us as much because we always go up to the bar and chat with the bartenders. They're very friendly and have some good stories to tell. The servers are a big reason why we keep coming!

Great plant based options, delicious fries, and the workers are super friendly. The experience was better than the food, and the food was great. Was not busy on a Wednesday night. Highly recommend this place.

Cool place, an affordable option in NuLou, quality hamburgers, fries and drinks! I always get "the chain" burger which is basically a dinner style smash burger. Great hand cut style fries. It's basically twenty bucks after tax and tip which is kinda crazy for a burger and fries. But the experience is always mostly positive and the food is always tasty. If you are visiting and spending time downtown louisville this is a great option.

Best Burger Buns (bread)!!! So I love a good burger and/or slider. The meat is 80% of importance and the bun/bread is 20%. Good burgers cannot be great without good bread in my opinion. My Southern burger tonight was great because of the bun provided here!! Server informed us that buns are cooked at the company's bakery. It was warm, soft, and delicious. I didn't give a perfect score because my bacon slices were a little disappointing, one sliver was all fat & I don't enjoy that. The pimento cheese was delicious on the burger but I prefer a little more. My mom had the fish sandwich & gave rave reviews. My bonus mom enjoyed her burger choice as well. We all appreciated the fresh & seasoned fries. Ambiance is low key and laid back. Seems to attract families. Server was cool & patient with my moms who were bourbon infused LOL! He also shared that there are other locations or restaurants under the same business umbrella. I'd definitely return here or try out the slider place he mentioned.

After our visit to Hermitage Farm, we went to Grind Burger for dinner. I wasn't particularly in the mood for a burger, but we went because it had gluten free options, and it was conveniently located for us. Prices weren't too bad, and the burgers were quite tasty (I had the basic "Grind" burger). Nothing special, but if you are hungry and want a solid burger, Grind Burger does the job.[Yelp collections: Louisville/Indianapolis 2023; Louisville, KY 2023]

Came here because of Guy Fieri and Triple-D. I got the Cuban sandwich with kale salad. Really liked the meats on the Cuban and the bread was pressed and nicely presented. The kale salad was a good compliment and at least made part of my meal seem healthy. Wife got the basic cheeseburger with fries. Very good and the fries were homemade and delicious. Decent beer and cocktail menu for the type of establishment it is. Good array of street parking outside.

Limited menu as compared to other burger places in town. Food had great taste but was looking for a couple more choices of burgers without having to build my own and driving the price up.

A restaurant after my own heart....give me some Wisconsin drinks any dayfrom the good land!! If you haven't had a Brandy old fashioned; you're missing out. I actually ordered the Cherry Soda which was a delight. Our server was super nice, knowledgeable, wonderful, expedient. Food is great! Maybe one of the best in the ville. Super reasonable, on par with other burger joints. Restaurant places great music, has a projector with food channel, very chill.

The food was awesome but the service was even better. I have to eat gluten free and Christopher was very knowledgeable & patient going over the menu with me. Thank you!
