   The experience was good. It was nice having drinks and listening to Great music from The Unlimited Band. One thing that could be improved upon is having a receptionist at the desk at ALL times. We stood at the desk waiting for someone to seat us and I noticed numerous couples experiencing the same. One couple finally seated themselves.

   As always, we enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We were a little disappointed that there wasn't any entertainment on Thursday evening.

   Spinach salad with chicken was delicious. Crab cakes were seasoned to perfection. This venue was very welcoming on a Thursday evening. My friends and I were able to enjoy great conversation and a superb dining experience.

   The service was good, food was filling and delicious. The atmosphere was great, I really loved the outside dinning. The only complaint is the cost of the crab cakes (2); they were $30 and they were extremely small. Not the size of average crab cakes, they didn’t even put the price on the menu which we know is done intentionally. Overall we had a good experience.
   

   Black Jockey's LoungeResponded on May 24, 2023Thank you for your feedback and review. It is greatly appreciated. Any issues with food or service should have been brought to the attention of the general manager or executive chef the evening of in order to allow us a chance to address and rectify as needed. Please note that a price is not giving on the menu for our crabcakes as it is a market price like most seafood and can fluctuate day-to-day week to week.

   Mother’s Day brunch was NOT good! Atmosphere and jazz the only redeeming quality for this experience. Service was very slow and food constantly ran out with 20 to 30 minute wait times to be replenished. Very expensive for mediocre food. Powered eggs were on buffet. To top it off, they provided plastic ware and tiny paper napkins for an event like this. Drinks were watered down. Bill for two was over $100. Never again!!!

   We had a great time at the Black Jockeys Lounge for the Mother's Day Bruch experience. We got seated quickly after waiting just a few minutes in line for folks to check in. We were initially supposed to be seated in the booth but I asked to be moved so we could see the jazz performance better. We got moved with no problem by our waitress. The rest of our party arrived within a few minutes and I brought them back to our table. The staff were very attentive to our needs and acted quickly from what I could tell. The food would be my only complaint that the bacon ran out quickly, but was restocked within about 5 minutes of waiting. I had been to BJL several times before but never had the food but all the food I had tasted great, only complaint was the temperature of some items, but not horrible from a buffet perspective. I would return again and now I know the food is good, along with drinks!

   Watery eggs, undercooked bacon, and grits that looked like runny slop. For nearly 100 bucks for two people it wasn’t worth it at all.

    It was so loud! We were not expecting a whole DJ with dinner. We asked to sit opposite the DJ but it was still too loud for conversation. Our server was trying but he seemed to have too many tables. He had an issue with another table and we sat unattended for about 25-30 minutes. The food seemed over priced for the level of service we received. I probably won’t go back to this place.

    I came with a group of 6. We ordered catfish, chicken wings, steak tacos and the cajun pasta. Everyone's order came out pipping hot and the food was good! I had a few whiskey sours that were made strong and well mixed. The prices were reasonable and the DJ/music was awesome. The vibe and the service was great and we will definitely return.

    Great portion sizes. Spinach salad was refreshing. Crab cakes were delectable. Bourbon shrimp and cornbread was a shared appetizer and it was a hit with everyone. Old Fashioned bourbon drinks were great. Spicy pasta, blackened salmon, shrimp & grits entrees were all phenomenal dishes. We will definitely return in the future.

    We went in for dinner before a show at the Louisville Palace. Great place to go before the show. We sat at the window and people watched. We enjoyed great drink specials during happy hour and on the Wednesday evening we were there we enjoyed a DJ while there as well. Great atmosphere and great food. We had the stuffed mushrooms and the shrimp and grits. We split both but enjoyed the shrimp and grits so much we bought a second to share as well while we enjoyed the music.

    Weeks before May 4th I made reservations for that day. It was derby time and I had guess come in from out of town the only time that was available was 945 pm. When we arrived we was told that they closed at 10 pm. So our food was rushed our server was impatient. We was told they sent an email but at that late time we should have gotten a call further more that time should have never been an option. Pam was great however. The first time I visited I was so impressed this is why I wanted to bring my family only to be let down. I was so disappointed in my experience this time.

    The food and drinks were hit and miss… overall ok. Pros: my spinach salad and shrimp and grits were delicious. Cons: Old fashioneds had maraschino cherries and orange slices in them and the cornbread was dry. The house band was AWESOME. They played music everyone could groove to and interacted with the crowd. You’d have to be dead to not enjoy the vibe. We’ll continue to come back every time we’re in town. Great experience.

    The shrimp and cornbread and the sirloin special were amazing! I really wanted to give the restaurant a 5 star rating but I cannot. The waitress missed my order for the special and brought me a salad a small side only. I had to remind her I ordered the steak after my companion had finished eating their burger. The baked potato that came with the steak was covered in sour cream despite me asking for zero sour cream, then finally I was double charged for the $38 special. I would have thought after all that they might have comped a beer or something, but nothing. We can't go back here.

    Easter Buffet, ran out of bacon. No free refills on sodas. Ordered the $20 bottomless mimosa’s but was charged $7.00 each. Server only came to the table 3 times. Had to ask other servers to remove dirty plates and for refills. Utensils were plastic in a plastic bag with the little napkins. On the bright side the Shrimp and Grits were good. Total cost without tip for my family of 4 was $163.00. 3 adults 1 child. Not worth it.

    Went for Easter Brunch. Good value for the money to include live jazz with a fella playing a few different instruments. $35 each was fair compared to $75 at the Brown…although they did have an Raster Bunny-LOL. Restaurant was pretty empty for a holiday. Omelet Fella gets kudos as did our Server.

    We went to Black Jockeys for Easter Brunch and were blown away. The food was quite excellent, but the service was even better. We couldn't find anything not to like about this place. It was our first visit but won't be our last. We throughly enjoyed the live music, and the no holds barred can do attitude of the wait staff. The only questions on the way home was, I wonder if they have considered picnic baskets for labor day, memorial day and 4th of July.

    In town for a few days and wanted to support black owned. We booked a reservation for brunch on a Sunday 1100. We didn’t expect a breakfast buffet but it was nice. Jazz band was scheduled for 1pm, so we stuck around to catch some tunes. Light easy jazz sounded good. Overall good experience. Would liked to have tried menu items but buffet was good.
