The food was fresh and delicious and very nicely presented! We had burgers, Nashville hot chicken, wings and exotic fries. Service was very friendly but quite slow and our cups sat empty for most of our meal.Parking: Evening wouldn't be an issue. There are parking meters along the roads but are only monitored I believe 8am-6pm

Our group tried the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, Hometown burger, and the chicken strips with fries. They were all phenomenal! The buns, cook on the meat, amount and quantity of toppings were all on point. We ordered take out because we were passing through and wanted something other than basic fast food. It was ready when we picked it up and still fresh. Will come back next time I'm in the area!

2/29/24I came here for a quick lunch, as I found this restaurant on Groupon. But unfortunately left with a Disappointing Experience at Chef Shaq Kitchen. The ambiance was neutral, nothing fancy. The menu promised an exotic twist on classic comfort foods. Naturally, I was Intrigued and ordered their exotic fries with shrimp and wings covered in Parmesan cheese. I was expecting a burst of flavor based on the menu description. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of expectations. The dish arrived underwhelming, with an excessive greasiness that left a heavy feeling in my stomach. The wings were overly saturated in butter, masking any hint of Parmesan cheese flavor. Despite the promising concept, Chef Shaq Kitchen's execution left much to be desired.

I had the codfish sandwich meal and this was the best fish sandwich I've ever had. Cooked and breaded perfectly. Plus it looked exactly like the sandwich on the menu. Perfect execution.

Some of the best food I’ve had in Louisville, had their catfish sandwich and it was amazing! Also some of the best service I’ve had in general, everyone there was friendly. Pleasant experience all around!

The hot chicken was flavorful and not too hot (you can definitely add more spice if you need). We ordered the sandwich and tenders. Generous serving and side of crispy fries. While there I heard about the zucchini fries and catfish sandwich so what did I do? Came back a day later and ordered the catfish sandwich and zucchini fries with the house made remoulade—fantastic. BUT, let me tell you what will keep me coming back beyond the food…the service, both days I had fantastic young women that were very nice. Thank you!! See you next time.

If this was a Chef competition Chef Shaq would win every challenge!! The fires were fire. The flavor of the each item was cooked to perfection. The menu here is an imaginative modern twist on Americana Comfort Food! We tried the burgers, and fish sandwich. If I could have tried everything I would have. It was a cool laidback vibe diner experience with the MOST AMAZING FOOD I’ve had in a long time. And the service was incredible.
