Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Walker's Exchange offers a blend of delightful dishes and warm service. Guests rave about its "excellent service" and "delicious food," particularly the fried green tomatoes and shrimp and grits. Located conveniently near the KY Center for the Arts, it's a great stop for a pre-show meal. However, some diners note slow service and suggest improvements.

    Food was good, ambience is generic and we didn’t like the little tables that were too close to others in the booth. We requested a booth thinking it would be more private. It was not at all. I could hear the entire conversation of the people next to us. The food was good. The service was goodish. The server could have brought drinks without being asked and had the tiny table cleared more quickly.

    Food was subpar at at best. The fries were good and the kettle chips were good. Drinks were okay. Wait staff was less than enthused. And we were the first ones over there. I'm not sure that he checked on us once and the manager or somebody like that brought our food to us. Had the brisket grilled cheese. It was lacking on the cheese and the brisket was one slab of fat.

    The food was great. Service, not so much. We never saw our waiter again after we ordered. We had to flag down someone to get our bill

    We understand the kitchen and waitstaff were likely very busy with at least two trade shows happening at the Galt House simultaneously, but we unfortunately had a poor experience. Our food took 40 minutes to arrive, and when it did, part of the order was incorrect and the food was cold. Due to time constraints, we could only request the correct order without sending anything back. Consequently, we opted for different restaurants for the remaining mornings of our stay.

    Do not eat here. Worst dining experience in Louisville yet. Food was terrible and service was even worse. Very mismanaged. We almost had to walk out without even paying our check because they were so inattentive. Every table around us was experiencing the same problems.

    The food quality was reminiscent of average cafeteria fare, despite the menu featuring some fancy and creative plate names. It felt like the restaurant was simply repurposing its hotel buffet space for dinner service, offering the same buffet-quality food but at an upscale price. While the ambiance might suggest a high-end dining experience, the reality didn't match up. If you're looking for a meal that justifies the cost, you might want to explore other options.

    Our server was terrible, the buffet was out of so many things and we got there early enough where it shouldn’t be like that.
