The chef was upset (what else is new) when he made this recipe and decided it had to be hot. Penne with spicy Alfredo sauce, grilled chicken, bacon, Parmesan, spinach and tomato. At least he gives you a couple pieces of garlic bread to sooth the heat.

We stopped by Troll Pub while doing a staycation downtown. It's a restaurant I've always wanted to try! Our family enjoyed it. It's located off Main Street, very close to the YUM Center on 2nd Street. You enter by going down a set of stairs to the underground restaurant. I think there is an elevator available. We were immediately greeted by a server and taken to a nearby table in the front room. There are several small dining areas throughout the restaurant and a bar in the back. There's a large sign with specials and our server also shared them with us. The restaurant was busy for a Sunday night and there were only two servers but they did an excellent job managing the busy rush. We ordered our drinks and also put in an order for 20 garlic parmesan wings. The menu said market price so I knew it would be pricey - they ended up being $20.99 for 12, but they were excellent. Nice and crispy with a sauce drizzled over them. My family loved them!For our entrees, we ordered the kids' alfredo, kids tenders with fries, club Sandwich, and French dip Sandwich with fries. Since the restaurant was busy, the food took a little longer than usual but it wasn't a bad wait. The food arrived hot and was very good. Portions were not huge but the food tasted good. The fries were fried to a nice golden color and were very crispy. My club was a normal club, nothing fancy but done well. The dip au jus had a great flavor and my husband kept dipping extra fries, my sandwich, etc in it. The kids' alfredo was not spicy and on the creamier side, didn't taste much cheese but she enjoyed it. Overall a very good meal - the total for four was $75. I'm glad I tried it and would likely go back, would recommend the wings!

My wife and I came to Troll Pub with a small group of friends before going to a concert at the KFC Yum Center.I had the Caesar Salad w/ blackened chicken. My wife had the half portion of their popular Taco Salad!We had the best table service by Grace. She was wonderful!!This is a place you may not normally go to because it's kind of hidden "under" the 2nd St bridge in Louisville, KY. If you are skeptical, don't be. You'll love the atmosphere and the food!!

First off - Keegan was an amazing bartender/server. So nice and thoughtful. The food was delicious (though I wouldn't recommend the hot brown personally). Reuben was great, and there was a huge selection of drinks. The tavern vibe was awesome too! Would happily come again.

My fiance and I were visiting Louisville and wanted to try some of the fun hole in the wall spots. This spot checked all of the boxes, fun environment, strong drinks, friendly staff and decent prices. We had already had dinner, so we didn't try and food, but definitely recommend it for drinks!

Came here before a UL game to celebrate a family member's bday! Been here several times for a drink but not a meal in many years. It was good!! Decent price point and decent service. No complaints considering it was before a UL game! You can get reservations!! I imagine it would be nearly impossible to get seated here before a game without one!

they really need to work on timing. My burger shouldn't come out a room temperature because my wife ordered fish and ships. Best case scenario they really don't know what they are doing in the kitchen .Worse case they know exactly what they are doing, and think that's ok.

Stopped in here for dinner. The waitress was friendly and attentive. I ordered the Italian Grinder with the loaded fries. The grinder was your typical Italian sub, however it lacked flavor. Italian subs are my go to order, but I wouldn't order this one again :( I upgraded my fries and ordered the loaded ones with cheese, bacon, and sour cream. The fries could have been more crispy!

I'll give this place 4 stars just because of the basement troll atmosphere alone and that's without eating the food cool place would be a great photo op for a photographer and couples. Beer is the same price as any place in Louisville cool stop to check out bar hopping

Met friends here to watch football and have a few drinks. The atmosphere is neat since it's underground it has a dark/dungeon feel to it. We sat at the bar and the bartenders provided great service, they were quick and attentive. We ordered a few beers and a pretzel with cheese. The pretzel was fine, a little burnt on the outside and maybe a little pricy. Decent place to come for drinks!
