My husband found this place online, saw they offered elk, and was like, "Hey, let's take a trip!" And here we are...6hrs away from home to try the elk burger. Our waiter suggested the smoked wings for the appetizer and O..M..G! Best wings I have ever eaten. There is no need for sauce!
This place is definitely worth the trip. I've even told the hotel staff about this place cause they've never been. We also did try the truffle fries, and they were a bit too greasy for me. However, it was a unique taste, and now I can say that I've had them. This was also the first time I've ever tried duck. I truly appreciate them for keeping my meal dairy free due to my allergy. Thank you all for a unique time.
Hammerheads easily doesn't need another GREAT review. But here it is anyway. From the minute we walked in to closing time we were treated not like " locals" but like family. KJ behind the bar not just doing his job but making this neighborhood bar the best part of our trip so far! Think it's just beer and burgers? Think again! High end cocktails and elk! Brisket tacos melt in your mouth!
This place is a hole in the wall with a great vibe. It's partially below ground with really low ceilings. Lots of great beers on tap.
The food ... omg, the food is mouthwatering. The fried mac n cheese balls are perfect. I could make an entire meal on those alone. If you don't get them, you are truly missing out!
They have sliders and tacos that you can order as mix and match so you can try multiple flavors. Everything was delicious. One warning, I asked how hot the Nash hot is, waitress said not that hot ... it was so hot. Everyone in my group is used to really hot food. We are from Texas after all. But we were sweating from the heat in this spice!! Still was awesome.
Staff was super friendly and fun. They joked around with us, sarcasm back when we were messing with them through sarcasm.
An all around great experience
Passing through KY, and found this jem for dinner. She ordered smoked duck tacos and smoked pork belly tacos. I ordered the half rack of smoked lamb ribs. We ordered the smoked cheddar grit tots and garlic herb fries (fried in duck fat) with smoked mayo sauce and sage mayo sauce (for dipping fries). Everything was absolutely delicious! The grit tots weren't my favorite, but still good. Meats were super flavorful and tender. I would recommend to anyone, and hope to stop by again, the next time we're passing through!
Hammerheads. WOWWW. Your food is amazing!! The smoked wings were the highlight of the meal. Some of the best I’ve had! And those truffle fries?? Best fries I’ve ever had. We will for sure be back! 😋😋

At my favorite Louisville place!! If you have never ate @hammerheads_germantown your truly missing out!! It’s phenomenal!! Pork belly tacos and roasted duck tacos with fries fried in duck fat with truffle oil on them. I mean I would drive the 3 hrs jus for the fries!!
Everyone was so nice. The food was incredible. I had the truffle fries, the crispy mushrooms, the pork belly slider, duck taco, and brisket taco. Everything was good but my favorites were the mushrooms, the slider, and the brisket taco. I also had a mojito. It was exactly how I like it. So refreshing! We were a party of four and all the tables were full so we sat at the bar. It was fun! The staff was so friendly. I just love everything about this place.
It is the best burger and the best chicken wings I have ever had in my life. I left the place very happy. Thank you all very much for doing a very good job.
Tried the Elk Burger and it was sumptuous. Next time I'm trying the Venison burger. Garlic herb fries were okay, nothing you'd miss. The duck and brisket tacos were also fantastic and can be ordered as 1 each on a single order of 2.
Came here once on a trip many years ago and never shut up about it. Got the opportunity to come back to Louisville and it was every bit as amazing as I remember! Have your fries done in duck fat, and thank me later.
