Reviews for Derby Café in Louisville, KY
Visiting Churchill Downs from NJ and had my first bourbon drink, prepared by Johnny Bourbon. Enjoyed my mint julep immensely but... have to say, my husband's "perfect" old fashioned was to die for. Johnny was personable, knowledgeable and the highlight of ourtour. One of the best bartenders we've yet to know; wished we lived closer to enjoy his company more often. Thank you, Johnny! Read more
I had a turkey club and a mint julep. Both were delicious.
Good food, quaint. Excellent bourbon bar, get to keep the glass as a keepsake.
Convenient but atrocious food. The cheese on my sandwich was stiff and discolored. The tomatoes were dried out. The bacon was... cold as a corpse. Service is moderately friendly but seems worn out by tourists. Read more
Best Hot Brown sandwiches south of the Ohio River! The staff was wonderful and accommodating. 100% recommend for lunch after a... museum/tour visit. Read more
Went on the off season to the derby museum and the derby cafe. Was not all that impressed with the food selection and quality.... However, good drink selection and seating. Read more
WOW!!! What a great lunch! Food is great. Calvin is not only a fantastic waiter, but a man to put a smile on your face. What a... great representative for not only Churchill Downs but for Louisville Kentucky!!! Read more
Worst brisket I ever had, probably 75 percent fat.
