The food was fabulous. My wife and I split Big Dave's Cheesesteak and whiz fries. We did have them put cheese whiz rather than American Cheese. It's cooked to order and the best one I've had in Louisville. While the food is that good, the ambiance is very casual. You eat at card tables and drinks are from styrofoam cups.

This is a very small mom and pop eatery. But the amount of food they serve is amazing. Gary ordered the Big Dave. It is one of the biggest Philly Cheese sandwich I have seen in a while. It has peppers grilled with the meat and just the right amount of cheese. Now for their speciality dish ..... the Kentucky Hot Brown. They won the best Hot Brown at Derby time in 2023. It was definitely one of the best dishes I have had in a very long time. We also split an order of their Ghetto Fries. It was loaded with two different cheeses then baked in the oven. So in closing support the local businesses. I highly rate this establishment with two thumbs up !!

First, they moved to the shopping plaza behind old location. Next to White Elephant. Staff was super friendly. Didn't know they had 2023 #1 hot brown in the city - will have to go back and try. Got standard cheesesteak with mushrooms and onions (no peppers). Great flavor but a little spicy (strong pepper flavor). I know they have that for other versions so wasn't expecting it. If you're not into pepper, just ask for light seasoning. And you don't need extra meat. This Philly was loaded! Almost needed a fork. Went with provolone , probably opp for cheese with more flavor next time. Fries were spot on and good. But really, you don't need them. I would have gone five but pepper seasoning (think of Montreal steak seasoning but spicy) was just a little too strong and overpowered cheesesteak. With that said, definitely will try again but less seasoning and maybe the meatball sub or hot brown.

Best Philly Cheesesteak and Fries I've ever had! I got the Big Dave and it was almost more than I could eat, actually I should have taken half of it home for dinner. I will definitely be back.

Delicious sandwiches and great fries. I got a pound of fries with each sandwich topping on a section. I almost had to be wheeled back to my truck.

If your looking for a local hole in the wall restaurant with good food this place what your looking for. The decor of the restaurant is kind of everywhere but also very local based. The staff was very friendly. We did have a issue with one meal due to person on register being new and with out hesitation they corrected the issue immediately. Honestly in restaurants these days this kind of service isn't as common anymore. I had the thicc chick sandwich and it was very good I will add that if you don't like spicy ask for no peppers of the veggie mix as it is quite spicy. My wife had a hot brown and said it's one of the best she has ever had, I tried it and would agree it's definitely a top 3 in my book. The fries were really good plain and the ghetto version we tried which has oven melted cheese on top. The only downside I found was the kids meal is very limited and I wish they had some other options.

I stumbled upon one of Louisville's best kept secrets, Gorilla Bob's. not only are they famous for their award winning Cheesesteaks stuffed from end to end with meat, The Hot Brown is delicious. If you're ever cruising through PRP, you have got to stop in and check Gorilla Bob's. Let him know you saw my review on yelp, tell him Dave Williams sent ya.

Wow wow wow. Whether you come from near or far to find it, or you happen to be in the neighborhood and stumble upon it, this place is it. I don't have a single bad thing to say, it is perfect exactly as it is. This literal little shack is simultaneously easy and hard to miss. It's teeny tiny and freestanding, but it's also a very bright purple. It is very unassuming, with its small building and adjacent picnic area. You take a look at the menu on the side of the shack, walk up to the window to place your order, and wait for them to fix it up. There's a big sign on the side that says "Best Hot Brown in the Ville" which is a bold claim seeing that I don't know that I'd ever had a hot brown that wowed me. That changed on this day. Truly the best hot brown in the city, maybe anywhere. And the portion is huge! I got some cheesesteak fries thinking it would be a side-sized portion. No, this was a whole entire meal on its own. And so delicious! Come here and come here right now. This place is awesome.

My first time having a Hot Brown sandwich, and it was very pleasing. I will have to stop in for something different. Service was good and my wait wasn't long at all.
