    Stopped in Louisville Burger Week. Service was fast and friendly. The burger was thick and juicy and tasted great. Fries were crispy and seasoned well. 5 stars.

    1st I will start with the one positive thing was the staff are very friendly that’s all I can say…. Now the list of negatives: Slow service Overcooked wings that I had to send back that came back overcooked worse the 2nd time Bathrooms were super wrecked It was so loud cause they kept turning up the stereos Overall was so bad all I paid for was my drinks and fries and pickles and just left will never return and will not recommend sorry

    Great burger and fries for lunch. Not too many people in here today very attentive service. I was sad they were out of wings because they sold out the night before but the burger hit pretty good. Can't beat khalil's

    First the bad, service was super slow. It seemed like only the regulars were getting any attention. I waited 20 minutes to order my food and another 20 to receive it. The burger was really good even though it was slightly over cooked. The macNcheese was excellent and the portion was huge. The French fries also came in a large portion but the seasoning was barely noticeable. Overall it's a good place to eat but maybe they were short staffed like most places right now. Give it a try!

    Food was good. Everything else was terrible. Extremely slow service. I actually had to go to the bar to order a drink because the waitress disappeared. I would recommend take out. Do not dine in.

    Much bigger than I expected, lots of room and seems like the availability to do numerous different events. They had live music while I was there. My bartender was super friendly and the food was delicious. Some of the most creamy Mac n cheese I've ever had.

    Service wasn't good.Didnt know they were out of something until all food was delivered accept for the ones still waiting. Food didn't come out together. Some didn't receive their food until most were done. Atmosphere was very friendly. Food was good.

  • 3/5 tony g. 1 year ago on Google
    Good atmosphere. Our waitress was pretty solid. No fries, no onion rings, and the person that cooked the chips burnt them and the boneless chicken tenders were more like leather.

  • 5/5 Tamara West, Real Estate A. 2 years ago on Google
    Enjoyed a yummy delicious burger and loaded fries basket. Breanna waited on us and she was super nice and took great care of us. We will be back!

    I don't like writing negative reviews. I know that running a small business is hard, but this experience was awful. Please read in entirety. We stopped by to try them out as it was burger week. I had never been there before. We stood in the doorway for a bit before a customer told us to take a seat. We waited for over 10 minutes before someone came to greet us at our table. The waitress actually checked on the patrons behind us and then walked off. I could understand the wait if the restaurant was busy, but only a third or less of the seats were filled and staff were standing around. A pair at a table with not even a drink in front of them is easy to spot. Honestly, this probably wouldn't have irked me so badly if not for the rest wasn't so awful. The food was ok. It wasn't the worst I'd ever had, but it wasn't something I'd ever order again. The idea behind the burger was great. Fry a large patty and top it with cheese and jalapeños. The reality was meh. The burger and the breading were bland. The fact that it was fried didn't help as it was overcooked and dry. The cheese sauce and jalapeños were good, but were the only thing you tasted. The service never improved. I didn't get a second drink I ordered and the wait for our ticket took long enough for us to make friends with the couple next to us. After we left and went home I later suffered from food poisoning. I didn't have anything else to eat after that and only had cereal about 4 hrs before the burger. I was violently ill with a high fever for hours. It is easily one of the most miserable times I've ever had! Maybe I just went on an off day and I would enjoy it if I tried it again. It's possible, but I'll never know as I'm not willing to risk it again. Due to the off chance that this is an outlier and because I hate negatively impacting small business, I'll give them 3 stars, but they did not earn them.

    Service is excellent! This was our first visit to the lunch burger bar and we'll be back. The burgers were huge and perfectly cooked: moist and juicy. All the traditional burger toppings, fresh buns, and a variety of cheeses. Yummy!! The burger bar had grilled chicken breasts, wings, fries, corn, beans and a salad bar as well. All you can eat and a non-alcoholic beverage for $11.99. You won't find better, anywhere in Louisville. Oh, their pretzel sticks and beer cheese dip are to die for 😉

  • 5/5 Alexis Sara Y. 1 year ago on Google
    love this place. we go here all the time. my favorite is the chicken wrap, and i always add french fries cause theirs are soooo yummy. drinks frol the bar are priced well too!

  • 5/5 Kristina P. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was amazing. Our waitress bri was byfar the best we have ever had. We had 1 problem with our meal but our waitress and manager was very quick to fix the problem and make everything right. Must try the khalil chips and the wings! Highly recommend this restaurant for family night out or even a date night for a couple drinks and live music!

  • 4/5 Jonathan N. 11 months ago on Google
    If you haven't had the .75 wings at Khalils on Thursdays and Sundays, you are missing out. A real, inexpensive treat for this very low carb guy. I usually prefer blue cheese dressing and celery with my buffalo wings, but Khalils makes their buttermilk ranch dressing in house, and it blows their blue cheese dressing out of the water.

    We come here often, great staff, incredible atmosphere and over all one of the BEST Sports bars around...the beer on Tap, always cold, always fresh

    Our server was wonderful. The food was so good and portions were huge. You can’t beat the price either. We will definitely go back. Khalil’s is one of my new favorite restaurants.

  • 1/5 Abby B. 3 years ago on Google
    We waited over 20 minutes just to get our drinks. Waited almost a hour to receive pur food. Only two employees were wearing masks correctly. Their freshly made pasta salad sat out on a table the entire time we were there and was still on the table when we left. The food was mediocre and it probably would've been better going to McDonald's down the street.

  • 5/5 Ashley C. 3 years ago on Google
    Classic bar food but better quality and great service

  • 5/5 Chase O. 3 years ago on Google
    Real food, probably my favorite bar, local bands occasionally, and a classic vibe.

    Our family was very pleased with our visit to Khalil's. One of the best burgers on Dixie

  • 5/5 Kenneth R. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food ! Good service ! Shirley's Way right next door ! If you haven't been you need to give them a try !

  • 5/5 Natural Q. 4 years ago on Google
    Looking for friendly service and a great burger try Khalil’s touchdown burger during burger week and top it off with a cooper and coke. This is by far the best burger I’ve ever had. Every other restaurant I’ve tried during burger week is compared to this one and no one has come close.

  • 5/5 Fred B. 3 years ago on Google
    Local place with with good food, good service. Use the carry out until the restiction expire.

    Great local grill and bar.

  • 1/5 Albertina K. 3 years ago on Google
    Just don’t. My chicken tender/ Mac and cheese loving son hated his food (his standards aren’t high). I got the steak sandwich which wasn’t even chewable, I had to spit it out. Our server was very nice but she was very new and that’s the only thing the place had going for it...

  • 4/5 John M. 3 years ago on Google
    Good food, nice portions for price. Live music little loud for my groups liking.

    Friendly Staff. Great Food . I Requested a Drink that was made by a former employee, the present Barkeep was unformilar with the ingredients. Between Himself and the manager Alex they were able to find out what was used in that drink and served it to me Perfectly. Now That's Customer Service!!

  • 4/5 Jasmin W. 3 years ago on Google
    *****Edit****** changing my star rating To a 4.5. They have a new menu amd it was GREAT. Had the fish sandwich not only was it almost impossible to eat bc of the way it was assembled, (it had a nice cornmeal batter) but little to no flavor. Wings were delicious. Next time I'll have to try the pretzel pizza

  • 3/5 Thea P. 3 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere is not what it was before the pandemic, as most places, but it has decent food a fairly attentive staff. Its close to home and there are lots of televisions to watch football. The menu offers a. Variety of bar food items like burgers, wings, pizzas, nachos, and fries. Theres plenty of uncomplicated choices and most any popular beers and alchoholic beverages of your choice.

  • 1/5 Logan G. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered 12 meals for takeout. Was mediocre at best, chicken sandwich and chicken tenders were waaaay over done. Burnt to a crisp. Probably won’t be back.

  • 1/5 Dustin W. 3 years ago on Google
    10yrs ago I went here and the food was horrible, thought I'd never be back. Tried for a 2nd time tonight. Was the same. Horrible food and service.

  • 5/5 Lissa F. 3 years ago on Google
    We had the Nachos for Nacho week.Pretty good. But the highlight for us was our burgers. I had the Western BBQ..had.onion tanglers and American cheese pickles n BBQ sauce..AMAZE BALLS!! MY daughter had the Mac n cheese burger..had pickles on it w the Mac!!! She says it was AWESOME!!! WE also had 3 great apps, 3 alcoholic beverages, 3 reg. drinks 4 other meals there. Then we took home 3 to go orders and to desserts and spent 100.00!!! That is super duper!!!! Great food. WONDERFUL service and prices you can not beat anywhere....WIN WIN WIN. THIS PLACE IS SUPER SUPER FLY AND SHOULD BE FULL EVERY NIGHT!!!!!!!

  • 4/5 Emily D. 3 years ago on Google
    We went for our first time during burger week. Since cheese may be my favorite food, it was great! We learned several of their menu items are made in house, like the ranch, humus and macaroni to name a few. Service was great and the owner was there and checked on us too. Several things on the menu we want to try so we'll definitely be going back.

  • 2/5 Joseph W. 3 years ago on Google
    They can bring you a coke but they do not bring your food to your table they sit on the bar until it gets cold and then they bring it to your table at least that's what happened to me

  • 1/5 Nancy L. 3 years ago on Google
    The wings used to be amazing. Id get it plain and have the sauce on the side. I ordered them tonight as my weekly cheat meal and instead of nice crispy, juicy wings..... I got soggy, soaked in oil, blubbery, like old wings thrown in a lot of hot oil. I couldn't finish my meal. Plus i ordered sweet chili sauce to dip and instead i got ranch.
