Donk's Diner

The food and service were great. The area we were seated in is bright and spacious. Food came quickly. The strata and biscuits and gravy were excellent. The breakfast potatoes were alright but a little on the dry/underseasoned side. Our server was fast, friendly, and checked in plenty while still giving us space for our conversation. And prices were very reasonable! We'll definitely be coming back.

We just took a group of tired, hungry high school students to The Cafe as a last-minute plan when our original plan changed. It’s not easy to accommodate 16 people, and a large group of teens isn’t always the most welcome sight, but the staff was incredible. They seated us quickly, and then our fabulous server, Harry, provided some of the best service I’ve ever had. He was gracious, efficient, accommodating to the requests of our large group, and he went out of his way to make it a great experience. The food was delicious, the prices were very reasonable, and the ambience was great - the industrial loft feel and French cafe accents, the live music (the clarinet and piano were a great combo!), and the beautiful bar as a backdrop. I highly recommend checking out this somewhat hidden gem!

My husband and I absolutely love this place! We come here for brunch all the time and always order the huevos rancheros and the biscuits and gravy. Both dishes are delicious but the biscuits and gravy are to die for! Decent portions and decent prices! The atmosphere is casual and the staff has always been very friendly. We highly recommend!

Nice place to visit in Paristown while you're checking out other activities in the area. The food looks great and tastes good overall; some things are over seasoned and some under seasoned. They'd probably be better with a smaller menu and everything under $20. Their standard sandwiches, entrees, and desserts are well done but some have an extra unnecessary ingredient. Our waitress was overwhelmed, but it worked out because we were planning to take our time. Highly recommended from neighborhood friends.

I love this place. Breakfast, brunch, and dinner here are great. My favorite thing on the menu is the Southern Grits Scramble. For people who are fans of grits, I highly recommend getting it, it's fantastic. Their cakes are also seriously delicious and the slices are huge. The staff is friendly and service is great. Dinner comes with a piano player near the bar, very chill atmosphere.

My son just moved to Louisville and I stopped in to check out his new place. In doing so he wanted to try someplace new and suggested giving The Cafe a try. When we arrived where the restaurant is located it was already a cool setting overall. The restaurant also has a Stoneware retail store attached to it. We had about 15m to wait and we spent it on this store. Once we got seated near the Bar we ordered the food. Much of the menu is what would typically be simple foods that are made much more unique and with different flavors than typical. Within our group (son, daughter, future daughter in law, myself) we ordered the Cubano, Chicken Sandwich, Chicken Salad sandwich and topped it off with Sweet Potato sweet rolls. Everything was fantastic. If you're looking for a great place to get a great sandwich this would be someplace I would try.

Delicious food!!! I really love the cheese beignets. I also enjoyed the salmon! The one thing I think I could complain about but isn't really a big deal was that the music was messed up. It would play one song, turn off for 5 minutes only to play the same song again. I think that can be fixed though, everything else spot on!!
