Home cooking at its best!!Food is pure southern love. Breakfast, lunch & dinner. Quaint atmosphere so friendly you think you were family. Service Victor was great!We started with fried green tomatoes fried tender batter seasoned perfectly. Before going I checked menu on Yelp app, the Entrees looked amazing so I was looking forward to the pork chops fried or grilled Because we had a late dinner it was sold out. No big deal so I ordered the country fried steak YUM!!!Greens, mash with milk gravy made in house. While my friend had fried chicken, green beans& mash with brown gravy. We shared a taste of chicken and it was delicious. Dessert of chocolate cake with a lite white icing was home made So good!Can't wait to try breakfast. Note; no alcohol Limited parking Clean facilities No waiting area

Cottage Inn in Louisville delivers classic Southern comfort with no-frills charm. The place is small, casual, and a bit cluttered with dirty tables when I arrived, but the lone server on duty was quick, efficient, and got me settled without delay. I went with their recommendation and ordered the fried pork chop dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans -- a choice I didn't regret.The meal arrived in about 10 minutes, and those pork chops were outstanding: two large, golden-fried beauties with a perfectly crispy, seasoned crust that held up with each bite. The pork itself was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The mashed potatoes with brown gravy were decent but felt a bit skimpy compared to the generous portion of pork chops. The green beans, on the other hand, stole the show -- loaded with bacon and brimming with savory Southern flavor.Despite the service being stretched thin and the dining area needing a bit more attention to cleanliness, the food truly delivered. If you're looking for comfort food done right, Cottage Inn hits the mark. I'll definitely swing by again when I'm in town.

We were surprised to find easy parking and were able to walk in and get a table immediately. In a beautiful Saturday morning at prime brunch time. Yay! Friendly service, a menu with several breakfast options available until 11 a.m. We arrived just in time. Catchy titles for each breakfast menu item and we got a table overlooking the outdoor koi pond. We both ordered the menu item that was 2 biscuits and sausage gravy, two eggs, and either bacon or sausage. Our waitress apologized upon delivering our orders, saying we had their last biscuits and they only had one for each of us vs the two so she offered us 25% off our meal. The food was really good, bacon extra crispy, and we both really enjoyed the sausage gravy. $12 each, another $3 if a non water beverage. We will definitely return again, & hope to try their famous fried chicken on the lunch/dinner menu options sometime. Glad to have a new spot to add to our breakfast/brunch rotation!

This is a popular spot that didn't quite live up to my expectation. Ordered fried chicken and chicken tenders, and seasoned fries online.It was tricky to find and had to circle the area a few times until I spotted it accross the street. My food was ready when I arrived to this packed place.The chickens had good flavor and were moist and fresh. The sides didn't do it for me, lacked any taste.The service was professional and quick, too bad the food was a hit and miss. I may try the pork chops next time.

Decent food at a great price, good (but slow) service, and a nice ma and pop restaurant with a low key vibe. I enjoyed the fried chicken, the mashed potatoes were incredible, and the spinach was not great - very watery. Next to me, they ordered the Kentucky hot brown and were not pleased - so avoid that. We also each ordered a little different cake and tried them all. The carrot cake (if it's your thing) was the best, strawberry was also very good, and Carmel cake was fairly dry, and chocolate was not impressive. My biggest complaint is that the food took about 40 minutes after ordering to get to our table, and it was not overly busy. The severs were fantastic and friendly. I would consider returning, especially for the price and portions.

When Christmas and New Year's leftovers are tiresome we decided to have a no frills dinner at the Cottage Inn. We both chose the country fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The only thing we chose differently was she had a dinner roll and I went with the cornbread. We then shared a peach cobbler with ice cream. Good service and down home cooked dinner with reasonable prices. The one thing that could be an issue is the small parking lot. There is only one handicap parking spot and somebody who didn't have a handicap parking permit decided to park their Lexi's there. Thanks a lot.

We have been here before when in Kentucky and it was excellent then. They must have had an off night everything was cold and super slow service!

I have been coming to this restaurant for more than 20 years and at least 3 different owners. I have recommended it to friends and strangers. Last night my wife and I went and I had my first bad meal. the pork chops were not only over cooked they weren't moist. The portion of mashed potatoes on each of our plates was very small as well as the gravy. My wife's fried chicken batter seemed different and she didn't care for it. We told our thoughts to our waitress. We each left half our food and they still charged us $22. It makes me sad.

Love this place! Good old fashioned country cooking right. Feels like eating at my grandmas house: chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, greens...yum!Setting is a small house and the staff makes you feel lukewarm you've been invited over for dinner.Comfort food w an emphasis on comfort:)

From the fried chicken, greens, cornbread, meatloaf, cake, chili and more, the food is amazing. It's real food made with love. The service is above and beyond. You can tell they love where they are working and what they are doing.As a native Louisvillian, I love the Inn from inside to the outside....it's a true local restaurant. There is no doubt we will be back!
