Welcome to the Louisville Restaurants Forum, a civil place for the intelligent discussion of the local restaurant scene and just about any other topic related to food and drink in and around Louisville.
I have lived in J-town my whole life and love the area, but i feel there are not enought indies in J-town. I am glad to see we have Maggie's. I found this place about six months ago and try to go weekly. The food is good and the service is great I have grown fond of them and enjoy sitting at the bar or on the patio. They have a new cook and he knowns how to cook pasta correctly.Try one of his speacials. It's nice to have a place to just hang out. Would like to see them busier, so give them a try if you havn't. I do want to make clear that i don't work for them just feel they deserve a good shout out.
Not to answer for Charles, but I think Maggie's is worth a try as well. It is on Taylorsville Road. Coming from Hurstborne Lane towards Jefferstown, before Waterson Trail on the left. (Terrible directions, I know) Before the now defunt GoGo Gumbo's, old Ferd Grisanti. Great sweet potatoe fries. Good chicken salad, and other things, ok hot brown.
Head out from Stoneybrook on Taylorsville Rd; past LAC. You'll go under the viaduct and pass an apartment complex immediatly on your right. Then, there will be a pawn shop next to it; continue driving until , on your left , you see Maggies in a strip on a hill . If you've hit the old J-Gumbo's , then you've gone too far. It's almost across the street from J-Town Mall Of Vendors.
I also highly recommend Maggie's. Its also a good place to watch the game, since they have several flat screens and also have in-booth flat screens. The interior is beautiful and very nicely done. Also a good place to take your special someone, though I have only been for lunch.
Definitely worth your time. And don't forget to try the sweet potato french fries!
It's just where they said it is. Everyone beat me to a reply. I love the sweat poatoe fries and the chicken cakes. I am allergic to crab and this has become the next best thing. Even attempted to make them at home ounce. They have a large martini list and cold beer
