“ Hillcrest Tavern is an absolute gem on Frankfort Ave! This welcoming neighborhood spot is perfect for both locals and visitors looking for great food, drinks, and atmosphere. The menu is fantastic—from the A Street Buffalo Wings to the Scotty Stack Burger, everything is fresh and packed with flavor. Their Tavern Club sandwich and Chicken "Dan" Fredo are must-tries. And if you're a bourbon lover, their full bar selection won’t disappoint! The cozy, casual vibe makes it a great place to relax, catch a game, or enjoy time with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring you always feel welcome. Hillcrest Tavern is a great spot in Louisville! ”

“ Almost all of my experiences there: I have been dining at and getting carry out from this location and the one in Old Louisville for over a year now. Delicious!! They have some of the best BBQ & ranch I've ever had! If you want a top shelf burger or anything fried this is my recommendation for Louisville. The Frickle Spears, Chicken Tenders, Fish and Chips and Hush Puppies are great. Looking forward to trying a few of their pasta dishes sometime soon. Chill tavern feel with quick and good service. Loveee this place!! Today's experience there: Today we got the beer battered onion rings to split. They were sweet and spicy at the same time. Maybe a little too much cayenne? Crunchy on the outside, but a little mushy on the inside. Not my expectation of beer battered onion rings. The service was a little lackluster today. The fish and chips that my boyfriend got today were so salty that they were almost inedible.. We both love salty things, even overly salty depending on what it is. When I say almost inedible, I am not exaggerating. This was the most salty thing I've ever tasted. The hush puppies were like rubber today. The breading was so chewy and the inside was super dry. The Scotty Stack was disappointing to say the least, the truffle fries included. I won't pay extra for those again. Regardless, this is the only bad experience I've had and I'll still go back to get items that I've always enjoyed without issue. ”

“ First time here. Service was great. The pretzel and beer cheese app was perfect. Food was excellent and our server good too. Great menu, ”

“ Absolute Best Reuben hands down! Drippy and Crunchy the corn beef was moist and tender and the kraut was extra tart. The sandwich held together perfectly ‘til the end. I’ll be back! ”

“ Diamond in the rough! Frankfort avenue restaurants rarely disappoint, and this was no exception. Food was great. We had the drunken fries, beer battered onion rings, and the buffalo wings. Onion rings could have a little more onion in my opinion, but still had good flavor. Everything else was great! Can't wait to try more items on the menu. Recommended for people traveling, just watch for the limited parking, which is expected in the area. Also, great customer service, even at 3pm ! ”

“ First time here and wish I had gone sooner. Every dish and cocktail looked delicious. The Halloween special witches brew was very sweet and savory. They have drink specials most nights. The spicy burger was just spicy enough while still being flavorful. And I really enjoyed the fries too! ”

“ Went for Sunday brunch. The wings were hot and crispy. Chose the dry rub and the flavor did not disappoint. I enjoyed the Crescent Hill Breakfast. Scrambled eggs were cooked perfectly, the French toast was light and fluffy and the sausage was seasoned just right and not greasy. Others at the table enjoyed a large chicken Caesar salad and patty melt. We left with tummies full and smiling faces. ”

“ Delicious food, and beer. I had a Guinness. The patty and we 6 people enjoyed the big booth. The Saturday was light and not a crowded place. Enjoy the waterfuls. ”
