Six Forks offers the plant-based Beyond Burger as an option. It was very good with grilled onions and Asian peanut sauce.
A restaurant doesn’t have to be expensive to be good, and it doesn’t have to be elegant to be pleasing. I present in evidence Six Forks Burger Co., an amiable little eatery that specializes in hamburgers, hot dogs, and more.
Six Forks recently arrived in a Shelby Park street-corner storefront that, in years past, housed Louisville’s only Pakistani restaurant and later a fried chicken-and-fish shop.
Now Six Forks owners Troy King and Selena Johnson – who also operate the popular Pollo Gourmet Chicken Joint food truck – have fixed up and redecorated this welcoming little place. They’ve added colorful notes with splashes of red, white, and pink paint that give the floors and table tops a Jackson Pollock vibe; a long wooden church pew forms a banquette along a wall.
Place your order with the friendly folks at the front counter, pay and give your name, grab your drink from a big cooler, take a seat and relax.
Speaking of drinks, bottled water is free, and that goes for anyone passing by who’s thirsty. Fresh-made Kool-Aid is $3 (and free on Tuesdays) for a 32-ounce mason jar, your choice of grape or bright-blue Jolly Rancher raspberry. Refills are $2.50, assuming you can glug down a quart and come back for more.
Allow yourself a little time to study the menu. First, decide whether you want a double burger with no cheese ($6.25), a double burger with three slices of cheese ($6.55), a li’l burger with one patty ($5.30) or a l’il cheese burger with a patty and one cheese slice ($5.45). But wait! There’s more! You can substitute an organic turkey burger ($6), the vegan, gluten-free Beyond Burger ($7.25) or a bison burger ($9).
You’re not done yet. Now choose among ten free toppings, 11 free sauces, and 13 premium toppings (85 cents), allowing something like 13 million possible combinations, from mustard and ketchup to a Dagwood burger loaded with pimento cheese, cheddar, bacon, buffalo ranch and raspberry chipotle barbecue sauce. For example. Or let the chef do the deciding with any of four chef’s selection burgers ($6.95) including the super-spicy caliente burger or even the adults-only breakfast burger with bourbon-spiked chocolate sauce. ...

Noise level: We had no difficulty communicating across the table at lunch time on a weekday. (Average sound was 73dB, the level of normal conversation.)
Accessibility: The restaurant and restrooms are fully accessible to wheelchair users, but those with limited hand and arm motion may have difficulty with hard-to-twist round doorknobs and heavy doors.
