New Restaurant- Hammerheads

derrick they are not open on mondays.
tues-sun. 4pm to 2 am

Anne Marie, did you get this info directly from the FaceBook page, or did you confirm it with the restaurant?

The reason I ask, is b/c I saw those hours on the FaceBook page, but someone (Gena W) in this thread posted on Tuesday that they had been there the previous night (Monday)...really hoping that they are open Mondays. Was thinking about this spot or Eiderdown for family dinner tonight, and Eiderdown is closed Mondays...I called to confirm.

Thanks. DD

Hi Derrick,
Sorry for the confusion. Last Monday was the pre-opening friends and family night. Annemarie is correct with the regular hours.

A + These folks know what they're doing when it comes to smoking meat. Seriously the best brisket I have ever had. Looking forward to the eating my way through the rest of the menu. Thinking I need to run or walk about 20 miles before the pork belly Lt. Do yourself a favor. I thought I knew what good was until now, the bar has been risen.

Completely agree on the brisket.

The wife and I stopped in Thur. night and loved the place. Giant smoker out front, friendly people, great beer and bbq inside; it doesn't get much better. We had the fried mac and cheese balls, crispy (sweet chili) shrimp, and bbq duck and brisket. All were good, but the bbq was fantastic. Throw in a Founder's Reds Rye and it was perfection.

Tried half the menu last Sunday, Loved everything , well executed, familiar and refined can't wait to go back and try the other half.

Hammerheads is just a block from our house. The lamb ribs are absolutely amazing -- my wife is craving them constantly now! Glad to see so much positive feedback. The owners are cool people and we really hope they make it -- they deserve it!

This place is ridiculously legit. Backed HARD!

While there, I was told that they are planning to expand seating upstairs in the spring, which is good, because the first time I tried to go it was slam packed.

Went with a party of 4 that knows food, were blown away, i will be back many times!

Had dinner there on Tuesday night after work.

Tajana & I had the Spring Mix Salad, Shrimp & Grits, Brisket Sandwich with Grippo Fries, Chocolate Mouse Cake, & Bacon Brownie.

The brisket is the best I've had in Louisville (although it could be a little more spicy), but the highlight for me was certainly the Grippo Fries. They absolutely nailed the Grippo flavor!

We loved everything and will be back soon.

I might need to request a little maple syrup to go with the bacon brownie

Thanks

Oh, man, this is SO good. And not just the food, as if that weren't enough.
We went last week with a party of more than a dozen. On top of that they were almost supersaturated with partons when we arrived. And the facility (so far) is still the tight quarters we recall from the Swan Dive. We had a couple of servers and they were just amazing. I'd have melted down if I were in their place. But they were attentive, gracious and collected through what was clearly a challenging evening.
I couldn't see what was happening in the kitchen but it could not have been pretty; it must have been DefCon 5 back there. We could only evaluate the food. With a new place and as slammed as they were (did I mention it was busy?) our group got dishes that seemed to be prepared like each was the only one some artisan had to do. I can't recall it all, but we had the lemon rosemary hummus with yucca chips, bacon plantain croquetta, mac & cheese balls & BBQ lamb ribs shared around. Then we had our own entrees that ran the gamut. Many, including me, who got the main dish with grippo fries were very pleased we did. Carefully selected beer list as well, heavy on domestics with a couple of lower end options for folks on a budget who'd rather spend it on their heavenly comestibles.
I saw the opening post on this topic, but still, you know, these were circumstances that would have challenged the most seasoned people in a recent startup. Definitely not an outfit that opened a restaurant based on "Hey kids, let's put on a show!" Kudos to Hammerheads and their professionalism.

Im so proud of Adam and Chase... They both have taken turns in my kitchens and Im truly impressed with what they have done here. Anyone who knows either Chase or Adam - knows this place is a a direct reflection of who they are. Take a bow guys and welcome to the club.

Maybe Anthony will knit you something next christmas as well.

Congrat's to Adam and Chase on the "well-deserved" great review. It seems hard to give a casual eatery more than 3 stars but Man I have been in twice and both times had great experiences. The menu seems to have been custom-tailored for me. Shrimp & Grits, Chicken & Waffles, Awesome BBQ, Killer Grippo fries, Bell's Two hearted....all my favorites. Great, unpretentious, quality food at a reasonable price. I love this place!

What is Grippo fries? BTW GO SEAHAWKS!!!!

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe it's a L'ville thing...kinda like the fried oyster roll and serving fish on plain Rye bread. Folks sure make these "Grippo" things sound good though don't they ? Must give 'em a try.

BTW...good on ya. The "Hawks" ROCKED today. Hopefully the Saints will go back down to the Big Easy for another 40 years.
