3rd Home Run Burgers open

My wife and I went by the new Home Run Burgers in Middletown and noticed that is now open! Hopefully it's as good as the others.

The Middletown store is the only one that I've been to.

Burger was great. The fries though left a lot to be desired for me. The place was very busy and the service was great, but if I am not pressed for time or I get to make the call, I'd prefer to hit 5 Guys in the Summitt because I prefer their french fries.

Went by the St. Mathews location at 11:15 today to get lunch and they were closed. Hours on the door said open at 11:00, but no lights on. Went to Jason's Deli instead, but my son really wanted a "hamburmer."

This is Kathy Scannell writing. I oversee the Home Run restaurants with my father, Bob Kiper. He called me on Sunday afternoon (right after I had left the St. Matthews store, ironically) to tell me about Mark's post. I hurried back to the store and checked the Digital Dining software which proved to me that the manager and staff were indeed at the store ready to grill "hamburmers" at 11 a.m. We do have heavy-duty blinds on the entire windowed side of the restaurant to combat the glare. And the blinds were pulled down on Sunday sooo,...I'm thinking that the blinds made it look like the lights were not turned on. The manager assured me that the doors were unlocked. I'm curious -- did you attempt to open the door?

This post makes me think that we should invest in a lighted "OPEN" sign. We recently took down the OPEN banner and moved it to our newest store.

Thanks for your (attempted ) patronage! BTW, we are looking for a fourth location. Any suggestions?

To address Scott's review of our fries: We use timers on our blanched hand-cut fries and another timer on the finished fries AFTER they have "rested". Possibly we got behind on our blanched fries and as a result, the quality of your fries suffered. (Yes, we did get "in the weeds" once or twice during our opening week -- THANK YOU, Middletown folks!) We are so proud of our fries - very labor intensive but so worth it when done right. Crisp on the outside and soft like a baked potato on the inside. Hopefully, you will give us another chance to prove that Home Run knows how to make great fries.

Thanks for listening, foodies! I tend to get a bit passionate about my burger and fries --

We've always liked the fries, but the last time we were in the Hurstbourne location (last week), they were not as good as they had been. Limp with no flavor. We were disappointed, but will return to give them another shot.

I said it on another thread but I'll say it here too...Thank you for having a veggie burger option.

Hi, we noticed there was one light on over the section where you order, but it did not look like the rest were on...we didnt try to open the doors, but both my wife and I concluded that it looked closed from the car (we stopped in front of the door and kept looking as we slowly drove around the side)...at least not lit enough to try to go in. Hope that helps.

Ok foodies, where should we locate Home Run Burgers #4 ?

Where exactly is this at in Middletown?

We are facing Walmart, next to English Station Rd.in a strip-center.

Fern Creek/Buechel

Love----- Fern Creek/Mt Washington Thanks

Dixie HWY or Jeffersonville.

I definitely vote for Fern Creek.

Etown!!
We do NOT have a good burger joint. All we have are the chains. Ruby Tuesday does an ok burger. Rafferty's does one too. If I'm craving a good thick burger, my choice here in town is usually Denny's because of the consistency.
I would LOVE to have a dedicated BURGER JOINT that has great fries. Also, would having GOOD fried pickles in a place be a crime?
Come on down! Bet you'd make a bundle!
