Derby Cafe

We stopped in for lunch between tours at Churchill Downs. The grilled cheese and tomato basil soup were darn good considering there were snow flurries in late March. We enjoyed our day at the track and a great lunch helped.Food: 5/5

Our bartender, Jimmy Bourbon was the NICEST!!! He was such a great bartender. He made us feel very welcomed. The drinks were phenomenal! He definitely made our experience at the Kentucky Derby museum 10000000/10!!! Great guy! Thanks Jimmy!

Convenient but atrocious food. The cheese on my sandwich was stiff and discolored. The tomatoes were dried out. The bacon was cold as a corpse. Service is moderately friendly but seems worn out by tourists.

Went on the off season to the derby museum and the derby cafe. Was not all that impressed with the food selection and quality. However, good drink selection and seating.

Our group visited the Derby Museum and enjoyed lunch at the Derby Cafe after. The food was delicious. The salad, pulled pork, hot brown casserole, derby pie, and roasted vegetables were just perfect. Everyone in the group raved about the food.

Love the hot brown panini and the Kentucky stew.Food: 5/5

Visiting Churchill Downs from NJ and had my first bourbon drink, prepared by Johnny Bourbon. Enjoyed my mint julep immensely but have to say, my husband's "perfect" old fashioned was to die for. Johnny was personable, knowledgeable and the highlight of our tour. One of the best bartenders we've yet to know; wished we lived closer to enjoy his company more often. Thank you, Johnny!

I had a turkey club and a mint julep. Both were delicious.

WOW!!! What a great lunch! Food is great. Calvin is not only a fantastic waiter, but a man to put a smile on your face. What a great representative for not only Churchill Downs but for Louisville Kentucky!!!

After 30 minutes of waiting after ordering the server told us we came in when everybody came in but our order would be out in a few minutes. Ten minutes later I asked the host if there was a charge for water and he said no. I told him we waited over 30 minutes and got no food so we are leaving. He said ok. We didn't get an apology. Now the KY Derby museum was great but I highly recommend not eating at their restaurant.
