The Best Salad in Louisville

Chipotle Mexican Grill

★★☆☆☆ 1.5 (4)

"I ordered a burrito with a drink, In total came out to be $14. I asked for a vinaigrette, and received less than an ounce. I understand food service is a lot, since I also work in food service. But chipotle is already pricey. Going the extra mile to under fill a vinaigrette because it annoys you is insane to me. This is what makes my meal. And I honestly won't be back to this location because of it. Why spend $14 on a simple meal somewhere, and they try to skimp you?"

"Personally- go to Juice Bar instead.Inconsistent is a great word to describe the hours and açaí. One bowl I've had as so little peanut butter, another had a large amount that I was shocked. Been 4-5 times. Smoothie had small chips of ice(not blended enough) The Last time I went - I showed up at 8:15a and waited with a couple employees (I didn't know they were employees til they opened) then walked in at 8:30 and they said we aren't ready to serve yet. I didn't have time for them to prep and left. Fantastic decor and options but seems lacking in service and consistent product."

The Downtowner

"I had the grilled cheese which was delicious and my husband had the hot brown. Both were delicious. I did think the price was a high considering plates and utensils were plastic or throwaway. Napkins were paper towels. Chips were a Ruffles bag. Homemade Cookies ended the meal and were fantastic and a steal price wise. I would go back though."

The Thirsty Turtle 2

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"Great tenderloins !!! Great service would highly recommend this if you're looking for friendly service !"

Tomatoes and Flames

★★★★☆ 4.1 (74) • $$

"this place is great! i used to live in Mt. Sterling and used to come here all the time. the wood fired pizza has the best crust ever. they have lots of options and i hadn't been here in years so they had lots of new stuff i hadn't seen! they were playing bob ross and the whole place was cute. they don't serve you so cant really rate the service that much. they were nice but not friendly. overall i love it here. we got cheese sticks, the quattro formaggi with olives, a vanilla creme soda and a caesar salad. all was delish! that crust makes everything worth it! and the gorgonzola had that delicious bite on the cheesy pizza with the tangy olive, and to top it off with the refreshing creamy vanilla soda. perfect lunch!"

Pizza Donisi

★★★★☆ 3.6 (212) • $

"Solid pizza, easy going vibes, and with late night hours! Personally, I love to snag some of their grab and go items when I'm in a rush for lunch--they have some solid salads that make things nice and easy.I also really enjoyed their chicken parm--which surprised me! It wasn't a huge, saucy, overload-of-cheese vibe, which is what I come to expect. Rather, it was a nicely-fried medium to small-sized cutlet, with a yummy red sauce and a modest amount of cheese. But it was well balanced and good quality, especially for the price. It's become one of my go-to items to order! The service is helpful, but chill, which I personally appreciate when I'm just trying to be in and out."

Hometown Pizza - Taylorsville

★★★★☆ 3.7 (22) • $$

"They made the list of the top 12 food and drink experiences to have in Kentucky before you die https://matadornetwork.com/read/12-food-drink-experiences-kentucky-die/amp/Well, being one of 18 Hometown Pizza locations, they did. This was actually my third experience at an HP. Each experience has been a little different. Each locally owned location puts a bit of their own spin on the franchise.This location is in Taylorsville, but not very close to Taylorsville Lake. It's located in the corner of a strip mall. We were there on a Sunday for lunch and they were already crowded, but scoring a seat wasn't an issue. We sat by the bar. At first, I wasn't sold on the bar, especially because I've ordered from the menus of two other HP locations and was impressed. But in the end, the price and the presentation of the buffet overruled and that's what I ended up getting. If they don't have your preference of pizza up on the bar, you can place an order and they'll add it to the buffet at no extra charge. Although I wasn't impressed with the baked spaghetti or the potato casserole concoctions, both were nice additions to the hot bar options. The salad bar options, although they were few, were very fresh... including the fruit mixture. Service was excellent and really the only thing that I observed worth mentioning, is that the entire restaurant could use a good cleaning. My mom is extremely particular in this department and she would not eat here if she were to stop in there at this point."

"Food was really delicious! (Pasta with meat sauce and brought a pizza home for later!). Takes a while for the food to come out, but definitely worth the wait. Wished for wine, but it keeps the bill lower that way!!"

Big Papa’s Smokehouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (9)

"I have been spoiled y'all. Big Papa's Smokehouse in Lebanon is hands down THE best BBQ I've ever had in my 50 years on this planet. I'm telling you I'm gonna make the drive more often. You can tell they take pride in their craft and that is smokin meat. We ordered the Big Papa's Smoked Meat Sampler and shared it. It included brisket, pulled pork and ribs. When I tell you it was tender it was tender. Full of flavor from start to finish. The ribs fell off the bone and I swear I probably looked like a caveman eating them. I swear hands down perfection. And it was a first for me in regards to Smoked cabbage. I've never even heard of smoked cabbage before; but, by golly, it's phenomenal. You know the meals that stick out as dang good food and memorable???? This is gonna be one. It's that yummy!!!!!! They are gonna be moving to a new location across from Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken soon which we're told is gonna have outside seating and be a more intimate setting. Right now it's in a shopping plaza. I'm excited for them and I appreciate their passion for meat. They really have the meats!!!Please go see them!!!!"

"Pizza here are soooo crunchy! Sad they didnt have the chicken and waffle pizza but they definitely know how to make their pizza!"

Limewater

★★★★★ 4.6 (68)

"Looked for something special to meet family coming from Lexington halfway and stumbled upon Limewater on my Yelp search.If you haven't been, go! Let me tell you why...1st star - location is beautiful on the banks of the river with a grassy knoll and view2nd star - top notch service from the staff, including extra attention for allergy issues in our party (identified during reservation and confirmed in person). They even talked about it during prep to be ready for us! For the meal, they specialize the course and made sure everyone was OK.3rd star - drink list was extensive and affordable. I had a "seasonal shrub" that was a fun surprise to find on the menu and really nice touch with the food. They have some interesting wines and other things too. Plenty of NA drink options ("mocktails") if that's your speed.4th star - food was amazing - lots of thoughtful options and courses. I started with the whipped goat cheese and beets, then moved into the pasta Primavera. SO MUCH GOOD FOOD. But you'd be missing out if you don't also try the dessert options, including the chocolate cake with housemade bourbon whipped cream (yup) or the blondie chocolate chip pie thing (it's small but mighty and comes with white chocolate vanilla ice cream).5th star - overall atmosphere in a house from the early 1800s, gender neutral restroom, porch or inside seating, and a lovely venue for celebration events in your life.So, like I said, what are you waiting for? Go give Limewater a chance!"

Chaney's Dairy Barn

★★★★☆ 4.3 (172) • $

"We had a great time here. It was a lot of fun to take photos see different Cowles and play on the playground. See the sights and just have a wonderful time. The ice cream was excellent. The service was good and the ambience was nice as well. Good spot had a lot of fun."

Green District Salads - St. Matthews

★★★★☆ 4.2 (164) • $$

"Green District is my go-to spot for fresh and delicious salads in Louisville. The ingredients are always incredibly crisp, and the variety of toppings and dressings is unbeatable. I ordered the 'Chicken Salad...Salad' and it was the perfect mix of ingredients. You can tell they take their quality seriously. The service is super quick, even during busy lunch hours. The salads are on the pricier side but the portions are pretty generous."

Big Bull Steakhouse

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"So far, my family of 5 have visited this steakhouse twice and both experiences were five stars! The steaks are cooked perfectly to order, burgers flavorful and juicy, chicken broccoli alfredo wasn't swimming in alfredo which I prefer. Servers are knowledgeable of the menu and very nice/respectful. This restaurant is clean and taken care of, even the bathrooms. The prices and serving sizes are comparable to other steakhouses. What really sold me is this restaurant uses beef from local farmers. I will be recommending Big Bull Steakhouse to anyone looking for quality food and a great experience!"

16th

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7)

"We arrived when they opened at 5:00 so we walked right in and they quickly filled all of the tables! My husband ordered grilled pork tenderloins and broccoli soup which were delicious. Such a nice clean, upscale ambiance where we actually enjoyed conversation without raising our voices. Planning to make that brief drive from Elizabethtown agin!"

Marisqueria Vallarta

★★★★☆ 4.2 (11)

"Great Mexican food. The staff was great, the owner even came out and introduced himself and check in a few times. This place is Mexican!! Not Tex mex which is what most places here are. My San Diego heart was so happy!! Food had flavor and portions were plentiful. I happened to be passing by and dropped in on a whim. Found my new Mexican spot!!"

The Crusty Pig

★★★☆☆ 3 (4)

"Food and service were very good. Glad to have a downtown pizza place. Great atmosphere too to watch games !"

Haub Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (70) • $$

"Found my new place to go in the area. Excellent steak. Super friendly and personable staff. Older restaurant with classic and quaint charm. I eat a carnivore diet and they were able to sell me my steaks ala carte. This is huge for me, considering most places will force me to pay for sides that I don't eat. I ordered their ribeye and the filet. Both were delicious. Thanks so much for accommodating my diet needs. Will be back when I'm in the area."

Casa Brava Authentic Mexican Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.5 (51) • $$

"Unexpected surprise. Food was fantastic! Had the chorizo and queso as well as the steak fajitas. Lots of good food well prepared."

Hometown Pizza - Bloomfield

★★★★☆ 4.1 (24) • $

"Love this restaurant! Great food! Fabulous service! Atmosphere at this restaurant is amazing!! Fast service and cheap food! But yummy!"

The Sandwich Shop

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"My wife and I stopped for lunch on our way thru Harrodsburg. She had the Italian sub and I had the Rueben. Both sandwiches were full of meat and delicious. Breads were fresh and so were the toppings. The building is a converted service station. They have done a great job decorating it. Service was very fast and the staff was wonderful."

Tasty Peru

★★★★★ 4.7 (16)

"Great food and great service. I was skeptical about the Ceviche. It was wonderful. I'm looking forward to enjoying it again. Best side salad. Beautiful presentation."

Squires Corner Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (13)

"My son & I tried Squires Corner Kitchen for the 1st time today & were very pleased! Great service, delish food, budget friendly. Daily specials. Give them a try!"

Rose & Thorne Pub

★★★★★ 4.9 (10)

"An accidental find as we were looking for Rooster Brewing. Rose & Thorne is an eclectic and comfy pub that's a must for us when visiting or passing through Paris. Excellent food, mixed draft selection - everyday beers plus seasonal options and ciders, bottled beers and spirits, too. The owners are present, involved and passionate. It's just a dang good place to hang out for a few."

Bailey’s Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (6)

"Morgan does awesome job with foods ect.. it's pretty good love it. I love what she does to her foods. Cute place to check out here in Albion"

Horseshoe Steak House

★★★★☆ 4 (93) • $$

"It gets PACKED and for a good reason. Be prepared to wait an hour - even if they say 25 min. Hold on though! It's worth the wait if you're a burger aficionado.When you enter the restaurant, it's a small room with a few tables - probably used to be a patio. A host in this room will take your name. Through the doorway into the restaurant from this room is a narrow passageway around the bar. The back bar and the kitchen/grill are one in the same.This area gets very busy! Servers, bar sitters, and waiting patrons squeeze by, everyone wiggling to accommodate one another. It's dark and not for the claustrophobic.They don't have draft beers. I don't think they have space! They do have bottles, but nothing craft or hoppy. Modelo and Sam Adams is the most exotic you're going to get. Otherwise it's an assortment of Mich Ultras and Bud Lights. Bring in an IPA! I didn't try them, but many had huge mugs full of a sweet punch drink! It seemed popular and pretty but I was saving my calories for the phenomenal, massive burgers!! A burger and fries are the way to go. Their burgers are juicy and huge! They come with lettuce, tomato, and onion. It will drip down your arm as you eat it. They have awesomely crispy fries as well - lightly seasoned breading. Highly recommend! I haven't eaten but we watched the fried vegetable assortment come out. It also looked amazing. I'd feel confident ordering anything on the menu. This is a go-to in Hopkinsville for us."

Cilantro Mexican Restaurant Bar And Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (6)

"If you're looking for authentic Mexican fare at a reasonable price, Cilantro's is an ideal destination. They have two locations in Paris, but the restaurant located at MLK Rd is the newest and best as far as dining in goes. The other location is good but it is in a much more spartan atmosphere. The new restaurant is brightly lit, clean and spacious. The food is great at both places and the service is equally good as well. There are many entrees to choose from ranging from steak and fajitas to tacos and burritos. They offer a great selection of beers both imported and domestic, and of course margaritas!Check out Cilantro's in Paris the next time you're craving food from south of the border."

Olney Cafe

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (3)

"We had a group of 6, three adults and three children. They were very rude and stated it would be awhile since we had so many. It was busy so I was ok with waiting. A table came open and they didn't want to seat us because they stated it would overwhelm the kitchen. Once again three adults and three children under the age of seven. They finally did seat us and it took them 20 minutes to take our drink order. The food was ok, but the experience as a whole was not a good one."

Friendship Tea Room At the Gift Box

★★★★☆ 4.3 (8)

"Love love LOVE!! A sweet friend took me here today and it was a truly awesome experience! Great food, awesome servers, cozy ambiance & SHOPPING! Aside from this, we met an employee named Judy who helped my friend shop, and is hands down one of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever met!"

The Café

★★★★☆ 4 (593) • $$

"The Cafe is easy, good food in a nice environment with a kind staff. The Huevos Rancheros was a great pick! The Biscuits and Gravy were 10/10! We enjoy coming here for breakfast, lunch & dinner!"

Gary’s Maka Mia Pizza And Ice Cream Parlour

★★★★☆ 3.8 (8)

"Food is delicious. Service is top notch . Friendly . Clean environment. Definitely will return ! Bonus- they have ice cream store with lots of choices ."

The Birch in Terrace Park

★★★★☆ 4 (83) • $$

"This is a great spot for lunch. Four of us ladies in the family took my daughter to lunch for her birthday and sat outside. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We started with one of the Birch's specialty cocktails followed by salads and burgers. We lingered over conversation enjoying the diffused sunlight and beautiful weather. My daughter said she and her husband love going there for dinner either at the bar or again outside under the lights hanging from the trees.My one suggestion would be for a little more comfortable chairs outside."

Palmers Fresh Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (340) • $$

"Last night two of my friends and I went to Palmer's to celebrate one of my friends' birthday. It wasn't stifling hot outside so we opted to sit outside so that we could enjoy the view of the lane. I definitely recommend sitting outside if it's possible. I had the peach sangria to drink and it was light and refreshing--perfect for a summer evening. We split the calamari for an appetizer and it was good--not huge portions but the peanut sauce was a tasty change from the typical marinara sauce that you get at most places. I had the Caribbean chicken salad as my entree and it was okay. It wasn't served with very much dressing but I was able to get more from our server. I had a taste of my friend's shrimp and grits and it was outstanding. I would definitely recommend that next time!"

Green District Salads - Downtown Louisville

★★★★★ 4.5 (56)

"Excellent place for a quick salad with several tasty combinations and convenient take-out service. I look forward to making it a regular destination!"

Smiling Mama

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Located on Russellville Road near to Jimmy John's, this walk up food service offers a menu with some classic favorites. I definitely recommend the Pad Thai. I tried this and another offering that was a little more spicy. Both were excellent. They tasted great. Portions are large, so don't let the menu price cause concern. I shared two noodle dishes with my spouse over two meals. The staff are friendly and the food is prepared with care. I honestly was impressed by the experience and will stop by again. If you're reading this review, go on over. Check them out today. Post a review. There is much to choose from and supporting our local businesses helps to reinforce the variety of dining options we offer in BG. If you're a WKU student, walk past Taco Bell. Pass Arby's Pass Waffle House. You'll get there and will have a great experience."
