North End Café

Last week, I was wanting a really good burger. If you’ve been reading here long, that’s not a surprise to you. Nothing like a good cheeseburger to ease the pain. Jam and I debated on going to BBC, but I’d be too tempted to get one of their excellent beers. Beer and lunch are one [...]

Smoketown USA Barbecue

Barbecue. Yeah, I know. Another one. If they’d stop popping up all over the place, I wouldn’t have to try them all. But, oh how boring eating out would be without barbecue. Keep reading to see how Smoketown USA holds up against the competition.

O’Shea’s Irish Pub - Irish Week!

Valentino and I decided to try this popular nightlife spot out for lunch. Located in the “Irish” district of Baxter Ave., this is probably the first of the Irish pubs in the neighborhood (50 years!), and frankly one of the best fish sandwiches this side of Dublin (and it’s cellar).

Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen

Sweet teeth (tooths??) are a hard thing to control. Jam’s is almost uncontrollable, and mine tends to follow suit. The Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen has always been a weakness of mine, for good reason. I’ve never left there thinking, “That was the worst pie/ice cream/cake/cookie ever.” But really, are there any bad desserts [...]

Molly Malone’s Irish Pub and Restaurant - Irish Week!

Nothing’s better than dining alfresco in the early Spring, especially while enjoying a nice beverage in the all-too-familiar Irish setting on Baxter Avenue. Jam, his wife and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and put their fish sandwich to the test. Read along if you will…

Tony Boombozz Pizzeria - Italian Week!

This place has won so many awards, that I probably don’t even have to tell you how good it is. But I will: It’s good.
Harry and I stopped in for lunch last week because I remembered how cheap their personal pizzas are ($2.99 for cheese, toppings are additional.) They also have great Panino Sandwiches that [...]

Fire Fresh BBQ

Yup, another barbecue place reviewed on LouisvilleLunch. I can’t help it! There are a lot of good BBQ joints here in beautiful Louisville, Kentucky! Actually, I wouldn’t call Fire Fresh a “joint”…it’s too classy for that. They’re looking to franchise this small Louisville-based chain throughout the Eastern Seaboard. If there are any investors reading this…GO [...]

Sportstime Pizza (New Albanian Pub & Pizzeria) - Italian Week!

Yeah, technically this shouldn’t be on LOUISVILLELunch, but it’s just over a little bridge, and they do serve my new favorite pizza in Kentuckiana (yes, I just used that stupid term…and yes it’s my new favorite pizza).
