I was a little skeptical at first just from the looks of the restaurant and I like to stick to what I know however I was in for a surprise. The food was Great!! I ordered the chicken sandwich which was juicy the fries are very well seasoned my husband had the burger and said his food was just as amazing. Jasmine was our server she was very sweet and kind and the food came out quick and was fresh. Definitely going back and will tell others. If you are thinking about it just go it’s worth a try.

Finally made it to Chef Shaq Kitchen and I was not disappointed. I ordered the build your own burger up to 5 toppings (lettuce, bacon, cheese, grilled onions, and pickles) with fries and 10 dry rub flavored wings. That was one of the best burgers I’ve had plus that thick cut bacon was cooked to perfection . Those fries lawdddddd whatever seasoning that is please start selling it because I need that in my kitchen like yesterday lbvs. I’d prefer a little more fries for the price, that would be my only I guess grip. When I tell you those dry rub wings had me licking my fingers I wouldn’t be lying to you lol they were cooked perfectly for me. Nice crisp outside and tender and juicy on the inside (I’d purchase that dry rub seasoning as well). I’ll definitely return

First time in Louisville and wanted some authentic southern comfort food. The 5 star reviews for the Nashville hot chicken sandwich from others is true! Good food +good heart= great experience! ❤️

My wife and I live in the area and have been meaning to check this place out for a bit now and we finally made it in. Let me tell you this place has the EATS! The onion rings and zucchini fries were fried to perfection, perfect crunch on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. The Polish sausage I had was great but I think I’ll go for the spicy next time since those are made in house from what I understand. My wife had the California Chicken Sandwich with Zucchini fries and it was sooo good I just had to snag a bite to check it out for myself! Walking into this place you’d never know it but it was like sitting down to dinner for a homecooked meal with the chef and staff. 10/10 would recommend!

Was a little nervous since the inside wasn’t prepossessing and there were misspellings on the website, but the patio was cute and the food was absolutely delicious. Good portions, and everything was seasoned in a way this Indiana white girl has never experienced before. I got the Nashville hot chicken, and it was crispy but not over breaded and the slaw was great (no too mayo-y). The meat was tender and it packed heat but in a flavorful way. My buddies unironically called it exquisite; photos of them eating tell ya what they thought of the Nashville. The waitstaff was attentive and the seating area was clean. If I’m ever back in Kentucky you’ll be able to find me here.

The food here is DELICIOUS. We were visiting Louisville from out of town and saw they had good reviews so we went. It’s in a little bit of a sketchier area of town and definitely an unassuming building but the food was worth it. I got the hot Nashville chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and the fries were cooked to perfection and seasoned wonderfully. The chicken sandwich was so juicy and fried just right with crisp but not too much breading. We would recommend this to anybody! I’d love to eat this meal over and over again.
