Merle's Whiskey Kitchen is a delightful gem in Louisville! 🎶 We visited for dinner and were immediately drawn in by the lively atmosphere and fantastic live music. The cornbread is a must-try, perfectly moist and buttery!

We also indulged in the fried chicken sandwich and Merle's Melts - both dishes were packed with flavor. While the service was generally great, the food took a bit longer to arrive for our large group.

Overall, the laid-back vibe and comforting Southern dishes make this place a must-visit when in the area! Can’t wait to return. 🍗✨
