hammerheads

glad i didn't bring my mamma-cuz she wouldda gotten smacked!! that's how good this place is! get there early so they don't run out of what you may want! we went with a group of 4, ordered every slider, the elk burger, mac n cheese balls, truffle fries, grippo fries, grit patty, venison burger, and bbq lamb ribs.everything was knockout! man the chef could have sex with my sister and never call her again and i'd still eat there!

smoked pork belly was melt in your mouth tender. very tasty with the mac-n-cheese balls.

this is one of the coolest joints in town! great atmosphere. superb food and great friendly service. baby back ribs are to die for.

indugle & splurge. hammerheads is some of the best food in louisville. you really can't go wrong with super indulgent menu items like the chicken and waffle sand which, fried mac and cheese balls, bbq ribs and truffle fries. its great for vegetarians as well and they serve one my favorite veggie burgers in the city. the only negative is that you can really run up a tab here with all of the add ons and sides. plus, the beer is priced pretty high. with that being said, i've always enjoyed myself at hammerheads and have never regretted overspending when it comes to their menu.

o my god best food i ever had


-----30 apr, 2011-----

it blows my mind how hateful people can be, we work sssooo hard every day,60+ hours a week trying to please everyone. this little basement is a constent challeng. we are very sorry for any neglect, this please get crazy and we love it but hard to please everyone and for that we apologize. we will continue to the hard work and hope for the best.

only so-so. i have heard a lot of hype about this place, so naturally, i couldn't wait to see what all the fuss was about. i took my husband and father-in-law, along with our baby there for an early dinner, probably getting there at about 5:30. as it was foretold, there was already a wait, albeit a short one. they do have at least one highchair, btw. service was speedy and courteous, and the food arrived promptly. however, 10 minutes into our meal, the front corridor/bar area/dining room was so packed with waiting guests that we were literally dining with people's rear ends in our faces; but at least they were nice enough to coo at the baby for us. the server talked us into the herb/duck fat fries instead of the truffle/duck fat fries that i was leaning towards. smooth move, buck-o, they were no bueno. they were covered in herbs, and very brown. there's nothing like the flavor of overcooked fries doused in crunchy dried herbs to have you looking forward to the next course. we also had some tacos, which were pretty good, but not altogether memorable, because i don't remember the protein at this point. also, the lamb ribs; they were tasty, but very fatty and tiny-- more of an appetizer really. the chorizo burger was the big hit at the table. however, i will agree with another reviewer on this, i honestly could not taste much chorizo. it just tasted like a nice, flavorful and juicy burger. beer prices are kind of high... i think that if this place were not so packed and a little less "hipster" i might come back to peruse the menu a little. it is not that we didn't like it, but it just wasn't the magical food orgy i expected it to be.

just wasn’t anything to write home about. i got the fried catfish. my husband got a burger. there was a lot of hype about the restaurant but we just didn’t get it.

wonderful, best. my wife and i have been trying to get to hammerheads for sometime and we made it last friday night with another couple who live in the area. we arrived early, 5 pm, lotst of seats at that time but by 6 pm there was a wait. we ordered the mac and cheese balls, wonderful, the fried mushrooms, outstanding. i had the pork belly sandwich which is a blt on a pretzel roll and this was enough but i had to order the 1/2 rack of baby back ribs. an order of the chicken wings and waffle was also placed. the food arrived in short order on wood planks and the side of fries was also there. we all were amazed at how great the food was. the server did a wonderful job of checking on us and refilling drinks, etc. the selection of beers would make anyone happy, but having some wine would have helped. we had no room for dessert but i did have to try the warm in house made brownie with bacon on top. it was ok, warm and moist but you could not really taste the bacon. one of the friend with us went back last night and said he had the best burger he has had in a long time, i think this will become the place for us to eat. i understand they may be moving to larger quarter , i hope they do not lose there touch in the move. try it for yourself. i took the remains of the ribs and one chicken wing home and had them for dinner on saturday, great.

excellent food, friendly service, quick, very laid back! covid protocols enforced. duck tacos!

i was excited to try this place out, since it has a 4.9 rating. the appetizer, fried mac & cheese balls, were pretty tasty. however, the very dry and bland ribs left little to be desired. the baked beans had a weird flavor that didn’t pair well with the ribs. the best thing amongst all of the members of my table were the garlic fries. the value wasn’t great either. the ribs were $16 and i had to order the sides separately.

in my opinion, the best casual dining in louisville. been going there for 5 years and never had a bad experience. keep doing what your doing!

fantastic place for ribs and more. my friends and i started with the macaroni and cheese balls, which are crispy cheese and pasta filled balls of goodness. the ribs are fall off the bone tender. a limited but good beer selection is available.

a unique and flavorful menu. a fantastic location for adventurous carnivours and foodies. the scotch egg is a must try. we look forward to visiting again soon!

amazing food! always worth the wait. the burger is phenomenal and so are those mac n cheese balls!! we love coming here and the service is always good. good beer selections too!
