Review Merle's Whiskey Kitchen - Louisville

Oh my goodness. The food was off the charts. The spicy bourbon bacon and the Parmasan garlic fries were my favorite. The cornbread was my husband's favorite. It was busy and we were a table of six. So my advice is to ask for a printout of your bill just to check for accuracy as they have a new hand-held system the servers are getting used to. Some items ended up on each other's bills, but it was fixed quickly. I would go back here again and again! The food was so good!!

We visited here because it was close to our hotel. We ate tacos and they were definitely solidly good. The cocktails were the downfall - my husband's old fashioned he said was terrible. I ordered a couple of cocktails from their cocktail menu and I didn't really like them all too much either. But we sat at the bar and the bartenders gave us good service.

Good food! Great service! Wish the portion size of the food was a little more… otherwise great!!

We loved our food so much that we went back on the day we were flying out to try other items. We had all the tacos. The pork with the green sauce was the favorite. We loved the fried chicken and their Mac n' Cheese is excellent. Someone ordered the fried avocado and another person in our group got a salad that she enjoyed and the bacon in a jar was ordered, but it wasn't a fan favorite. The rub didn't taste right. On both occasions the group split multiple cookies with cream. They all enjoyed that. The first day our food came out really fast and our server was great. The second day was a Saturday and they were much busier. They have parking on both sides for $10/day. Some of us went across the street to shop and went to an Irish pub. It was a great experience. Our whole group highly recommends Merle's Whiskey Kitchen.

Great value for lunch. They have a $7.95 special for which you pick two items from a good selection of small entrees and sides. It was perfect for us. Service was excellent and the food was very good. Outdoor tables available. I think most are covered.

Delicious chicken tenders and macaroni & cheese. The atmosphere was fun and the bar was great. I would definitely recommend this place.

Eaten here many times I never had any complaints. Today I probably had one of the best waitresses I’ve had in years. I’m confident that you’ll find Nicole as charming and friendly as I did.

Another Louisville surprise during my time here as I was expecting 4/5 food but got solid 5/5 food around the table. Prices are fair and they have great deals on alcohol, I’d be a regular here if I lived here. Thought the award winning chicken was just a marketing scheme, it wasn’t. Fabulous 1/4 chicken options and I’d highly recommend the dark meat as a subjective preference. The sauces they pair with it are awesome as well. This place is some of the best fried chicken I’ve ever had, and I don’t even think this is the best in the city. This place explains the hype around why friend chicken in Kentucky specifically had a name for itself. A good mainstream option to start off with when visiting or stopping through as they have a lot of other options besides fried chicken. I’ll be back when routing through Louisville.

Great food! Finally got a Mint Julep. (Delish!) Awesome plant based selection on menu. The fried avocado taco was amazing. The carnivores in our group loved the candied bourbon maple bacon. My husband said the pulled pork sandwich was fantastic!

This area has so many great places to eat and this is another one worth visiting. They have flights of bourbon to try. The food was great and all 6 had something different and everyone was pleased.

Fun place. Two bar areas and plenty of TVs. Tacos are excellent. Bourbon selection is top notch.

The food and service is always great. But the margaritas are next level magical! Unfortunately they don't serve them to go by the half gallon anymore. They are definitely a must anytime I am near Louisville! Love this place!

Very cool place! The food is amazing!! Had the fried chicken with the hot honey, mac n cheese and the cornbread. The food came out within 10 minutes and it was hot and delicious. The cornbread was so good it tasted like cake. I also, had the candied bourbon maple bacon, very good, very sweet! (too much to eat for one person) They have a fine selection of bourbons!
Amanda Rogers
Our first time eating here, we had the most fabulous server Nicole!! We ordered several different items to share- candied bacon, Mac’n cheese, cornbread, famous pork tacos, parm. Fries. The food was out incredibly fast and everything was tasty. We wished it wasn’t 14hours from home so we could come back!! Highly recommend- we had our kiddos 14 & 9, who also raves about the food!

Fantastic lunch. Mint Julep, fried chicken, mac and cheese, cornbread were delicious. And the green chili pork taco…wow! That was the best taco I’ve had all year! Add in great friendly service and it’s a no brainer to come here when you’re in Louisville.
