fun place, diffrent, good food

by tailgate698 at Citysearch

My rating is for the same reasons as joe 6 pack. Gas is the only reason I don't go more often, I'm from Indianapolis In. I took some friends there after it aired on Flay show ,loved it, food good we waited but it was good, were going back, hope its still good. I read some reviews that its went down hill, hope it hasent. And yes it was pricey. But i'm going again. I well rate it again when we get back.

What I don't understand is there are reviews from the 90' or about the 90's and the home page says it was established in 2004 ??. Its been couple of years so we'll see.

Still Delicious and Different

by Joe 6 Pack at Citysearch

I love Lynn's Paradise Cafe and I would give them a 5 star rating if I were rich or if gas prices were lower, but I have to calculate the price in too. I evaluate a restaurant on service, ambience, price, taste, quality, cleanliness and originality. 5 stars on everything but price, but when you're ballin' on a budget; price weighs in heavily.

How long till the name fails

by foody4loo at Citysearch

So so sad to see a Louisville establishment and practical landmark fall so quickly after its 15 minutes of fame.

The waits are long, but getting shorter, which is a good indication that your business is heading in a direction other than up.

The served food is really bland, greasy and underseasoned - but the dishes sound so much better on the menu, the classic diner with a twist feel, has lost its "feel" to just outright grubby, the plates and silverware look old and the glasses are so etched that you could be drinking from an antique - perhaps they are supposed to be.

Although butter is my second favourite ingredient after bacon, my palete just felt greasy after trying to enjoy a brunch here.

The service from the emo servers once added a "feel" here to - now they just add a "im pissed so many people come for crappy food still".

So disappointed with the change here - especially when newer and better breakfast and brunch alternatives are available - Wild eggs, Toast and Ramsis cafe to name but a few.

Im very surprised to think the owner believes that Flay would be impressed with any of the dishes presented to the paying community, producing a good dish with 2 hours of prep on a TV show is much more different than consistent production to people that pay to keep the establishment open on a daily basis.

The contributor from citysearch hasnt updated since 2007 and should really update their own review very soon.

A failing passion and loss of vision seems to be at fault here.

• Pros: Idea
• Cons: Ailing Decor, Food taste

Not worth the extra drive

by mikjen at Citysearch

We drove out of our way on vacation to visit this restaurant. Was not worth it at all. The restaurant was pretty cool looking but theservice was poor. We had no wait but the waitress was not very friendly. We ordered the food off the specialty menu. The food was not good and it was over priced for breakfast. I ordered the stuffed french toast and I wish I had gone to IHOP.I ordered 3 kids chocolate milks only to find out they charged me $3.50 a piece for the milks. That's more than what a kids meal usually cost.

Maybe a good local restaurant but just not worth going out of your way to eat there.

• Pros: atmossphere was neat
• Cons: service, prices
