Best Casual Restaurants in Butchertown

I’m so glad I chose this restaurant for my mom‘s 80th birthday! The food was amazing! The service was amazing! The online pictures of the restaurant itself on the inside, did not do it justice. Loved the ambience. Dress was from very casual to semi formal, as we went at Christmas time and there were a lot of corporate Christmas parties. It was a beautiful setting with a lovely Christmas tree that everyone wanted to take pictures in front of. I highly recommend!

As usual, our family meal at The Fat Lamb was delicious. The special butternut squash and sausage with béchamel was rich and tasty, and two members of our party loved the burger and truffle fries. Such a winning combination, the house cocktail is one of my favorite drinks in town. We passed on dessert, having started with the satisfying feta dip.

We absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was charming, and our waiter, Parker, was not only sweet but also incredibly knowledgeable. We started with Old Fashioneds featuring Habanero Bitters—a creative and delightful twist on a classic cocktail. For appetizers, the Crawfish Bayou Dip was absolutely delicious. The seasonal salad was light, crisp, and the perfect prelude to our entrees. From the Bayou menu, we tried the Jambalaya and the Etouffée, both of which were bursting with flavor and exceeded our expectations. Everything was impeccable, and we can’t wait to return the next time we’re in Louisville!

It was our second time to Kaelin’s tonight and the food was just as good as the first time! This is going to become one of our staple restaurants!

Food was outstanding and fast on a Thursday night. Might be a little loud for some folks. Such a unique and fun atmosphere to eat in the old fire station. Highly recommend!
