Reviews for Mike Linnig's in Louisville, KY
My first visit. I don't love fried seafood but that's not their fault ????. You will not go away hungry. Portions are huge and... food is fresh with great flavor. Plenty of outdoor seating. It's a destination as much as a restaurant. It's a long walk fromthe river, but it is accessible. Read more
The first time I came to Mike Linnig?s in the 70?s I felt like I had found Nirvana. There were motorcycle riders, families and... all sorts of people enjoying the small screened in eating areas outside and delicious fish. All kinds of people in a fun settingeating delicious fish. Well they have remodeled a bit .. no more tiny screened eating areas but lots and lots of picnic tablesunder a lot of big old trees. Still all kinds of people enjoying the wonderful setting and very good fish. Our experience lastnight was good with a few hiccups. We got the fish sandwich with 2 huge pieces of fish and split it plus very expensive onionrings. The fish was very good but the onion rings were a fail! Over cooked and huge.. but not with $8.00. They were hard and thebatter came off of them before you could eat them . We ate outside since that is the most fun part . We ate at a picnic tablethat had dirty dishes at the other end and no one ever came to clean it up. There was no garbage can we saw that didn?t havestuff stacked on the top. It is self service outside so you would hope that would help with the server shortage. All in all ..it was fine..but we would only do it once a year on a really nice night. Read more
As a child, coming to Mike?s was a real treat. I remember white concrete tables and string lights during hot summer nights. The... food was always excellent with flaky fish and onion rings that would make your tongue beat your mouth in happiness. Today I wasdisappointed. The portions were huge but the fish was tough. The first, onion rings, and hush puppies were good. However, therestaurant was dirty, the outdoor area was extremely littered, and the restrooms were pretty gross. Read more
Impressive amount of people and outside tables, pretty clean, nice bathrooms, great atmosphere. It's near the river though we... didn't take the walk to see it. Food portions were large, so was the price. But here's the rub. The fried fish wasn't hot andthe fries were cold. Amazing for the volume of food they were turning out. How was it even possible to serve cold fries withthis volume? Restaurants, hot fries always!! Read more
Our parents love it so it's our place to go too. Long wait is expected because of its popularity. Our self-served order, to pick... up and dine outside was about 30-40 min. The food wasn't as hot as it usually was. The rolled oyster was as good as usual, butmy chicken livers were burned, and not hot. They were delicious last time though. Read more
Mike Linnig's is a family tradition for us. If you aren't in the mood for fried food, I wouldn't suggest this place for you. ... We came ready to feast. The specialty is the fish sandwich. So good! Hush puppies.... to die for...... Onion rings.... Yum! They are very busy. They have the ability to seat huge parties outside. Be prepared to wait. Good things come to those whowait. Come for an afternoon, stay, and enjoy. The kids can play on the playground; the adults can enjoy the bar. Love thisplace! Tastes like home. Read more
The food was awesome! We got the sampler, could easily feed four people. I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow, leftovers! ... It was cold today so we are inside but they have many places to eat outside when it gets warmer. Lisa was it server she wasfriendly and prompt. The food took a bit to get to our table but that was expected since we dined during the busy time. Thethird picture is when we took the top layer of fish off wanted to show what was hiding underneath. Read more
Stopped by here while passing through on business. Huge portions and great tasty food. It was a little off season so it was not... busy, but heard it can get pretty packed in the summer. Would recommend stopping by if you can. Read more
