Wagner's Pharmacy

Talk about history. This place celebrated 100 years this year. Eat breakfast where the Jockeys for the Kentucky Derby eat. Feel the history and atmosphere of horse racing while eating lunch or breakfast. There is a small gift shop and also a vet pharmacy gears toward horses. Food was good and reasonably priced for what you order. It's a hidden breakfast gem in Louisville. Only minutes from the Expo center so stop for breakfast on your way to the show. The place gets busy so expect to have a bit of a wait but this allows you to take in the history here. Rumor has it if you wear Wagner apparel on Tuesdays, you get a discount...

Open faced R Beef was cool, peas contained ONIONS! Four people at the table, portions were not equalized. Two people shared one platter; they both individually had more R Beef than I had. We were charged for a drink we did not receive. First time visit, most likely will be my last. While an iconic environment, food left a little to be desired; perhaps I anticipated too highly! :(

Food was good. I came for breakfast. I was there 8 minutes before their cutoff for breakfast but they informed me the cooks had already switched over the heat for the grill and they couldn't accommodate eggs. I was very disappointed with this. The chicken salad I had was good and the service was attentive and pleasant. Would definitely return, just would come earlier than listed if you want breakfast.

Right by Churchill Downs. Lots of workers from the track come here to eat. Lots of locals too. Blue collar place that is comfortable for all folks. Good food and service. Reasonable prices. Ate there twice in three days while in the area. Souvenirs available if you need them. Check out there daily specials too.

Simple but really good diner right across from Churchill Downs with a Derby/Horse Racing theme. The strawberry pancakes were maybe the very best we have EVER had. The Hangover breakfast plate was delicious. Lots of really cool Derby and Churchill Downs memorabilia. Nice gift shop with a lot of items to view/purchase. We went on a Sunday with the weekend menu available. NOTE: They do close at like 2:30pm.
