When we first got there we were told our reservation wouldn’t be honored and there would be an hour wait. We aren’t from Louisville, so we decided to just sit at the bar. The food was not very good and the restaurant didn’t seem very clean. It seems like it was a great place when if first opened, but it was very disappointing.

Drippin Crab is all about great food. Fresh, thoughtful preparation and practical presentation (the hand wipes come out with the table service). Atmosphere is welcoming, joyful, “we are friends here”. Service is just right—friendly greetings, interacting with taking care to listen; casual but on the mark to care of the diners wishes. Can’t wait to go back.

I know my own limits now. Will order the Po Boy with cole slaw and sauce on the side next time. This was a monster sandwich. Absolutely will have it again. Wanted the shrimp and grits. They must be popular because they were out again. So glad you are near home for me. Send more folks our way. btw, Dalton was our server and sweet as the tea!

The Super Chef came out and welcomed us and we loved it💜 We are already talking about when we will be returning and it’s very soon. I loved seeing him cook on Championship Show the food is very good with taste and flava. Best to Superchef and his “Dope” Staff, keep rising to the top. Much Love 💜💜💜💜

I will be honest, I almost never take the time to write a review, but Tha Drippin' Crab really motivated me to share with this OpenTable. First of all, the ambience is great. Fun music, bright colors, and a welcoming atmosphere. I felt at home from the moment I walked in. The menu has something for everyone, and it was hard to make a choice. We did the drip combos, with an appetizer of seafood loaded fries and wow. All I can say is it is hands down the best dinner I have had in all of L'ville. Flavor for days. Dessert was the peach cobbler henessey cheesecake and it is a MUST if you can get a slice. Finally, we had an AWESOME server named Vic and she really took care of us. I cannot say this enough - GO! Go right now!!

I enjoyed the food it was great. Atmosphere great. Waiter great. The only complaint I have is that for the price I paid for crab legs there were very, very small. If they were that small I would have been happier with more than just two clusters.

Let me start by saying that our server was not very attentive. The restaurant was not very crowded on this night. Once we were seated it took our waitress a while to come back to take our drink order. Then we were ready to order our meal and we had to flag our waitress down to come and take our order. I have eaten here on several occasions but was disappointed in the service this time. Food was great as usual.

my food tasted like it had been sitting on the warmer instead of fresh off the grill or out the fryer, my server was nice but she really wasn’t attentive to my tables needs. The music was not kid friendly and I had my 10YR with me so imagine me thingkingnit was a family event place and coming in to hear explicit music! Yea so I give it a 4/10
