    My problem is with open table. You guys made a reservation for me at a restaurant that was closed. Seems the left doesn't know what the right is doing and I was caught in the middle. Will not use open table app again.

    We loved coming to the Black Jockey when in Louisville but the last two times were disappointing. This past weekend, me and another friend made reservations then got emails stating there was going to be a special event and we would need to pay which was fine. But when got there the hostess said they did not honor reservations and it was first come first serve and if our entire party wasn’t there then we couldn’t be seated. I was confused as to why we needed to make a reservation in the beginning. On a good note, our server was amazing, she did a great job and was very nice!!!

    Food was delicious and the value was worth the $. Mom D. was great. We felt relaxed and not rush through our dinner. Mom D was helpful with menu and the cocktails were good too

    Our family came in before the Theresa Caputo show that we attended across the street at The Palace. From the moment we came in the staff was so wonderful and made us feel so welcome. The hostess was so kind and when Mama D came to take care of us we were treated like family. She is lovely and made our experience so much fun. The diablo pasta was delicious! I know my family also enjoyed their Louisville burgers and the macaroni skillet among other things. We all loved it! We will definitely be back soon. Thank you for being a part of our great night!

    I love locally owned restaurants and this place was fantastic. The staff, atmosphere and food were amazing. There was a cute photo op area where we got some super cute pictures in front of. Plus the location was perfect, right by the parking garage and directly across the street from the Palace Theater.

    4 people. Ordered out food and drinks. Got 3 entrees, were told the 4th was a kitchen mixup. Was comped the 4th entree and told it wasn’t going to come out. Not the servers fault, the manager and kitchen staff were terrible. Never again, no matter how close to our venue!
