Best Southern American Restaurants in Butchertown

It’s a great sign when you pull into the parking lot of Morning Fork at 11:50am on a Sunday and there are NO spots to be had. Any doubts I may have had about trying this restaurant while visiting Louisville were immediately erased, even though that meant driving around an unfamiliar neighborhood without the benefit of coffee. I had the avocado toast, per our server’s recommendation, and my husband had the skillet. Both were delicious, and we intend to visit again the next time we’re in town. I also really enjoyed the African coffee. When in doubt, make reservations, especially if it is too inclement to sit outside. As we were leaving the hostess was on the phone explaining that all they had available was bar seating and that was first come, first serve.

Try to hit the Eagle every time I am in Louisville. Food is always good. And Quan was an excellent and friendly server.

Great dinner tonight here at Fork & Barrel. The service was amazing, the owner operator stopped in with us and chatted for a while and I love how they converted what seemed to be an older home into a restaurant. The food was amazing and I look forward to going back sometime soon in the future.

This Bistro was perfect! Amazing bourbon menu and the food was delicious. They were also very accommodating to our needs. Nice music touch and quaint atmosphere to actually talk amongst our group.

This was my first time at Doc Crow's. My friend and I came down from Indianapolis for a concert at the Yum Center. This restaurant is literally across the street from the venue, so it was super convenient. Everything we ate was delicious. We got the deviled egg appetizer and some oysters to start. Both very good. For my entree I got the Doc's Chicken. I was going back and forth on whether I wanted it original roasted or fried. I asked the server, and he said the fried is his favorite. Great recommendation. You always worry the chicken may be dried out. This chicken was so juicy. I loved it!! I got green beans as my side. They were very good. We had a great experience. I would love to come back the next time we are in town.
