Really good food. Fantastic service. Definitely worth a trip
Just ordered the barbecue pulled pork pizza and OMG. Should have took the picture of the whole pizza before I started eating, but it was so damn good I just about finished it before I thought about it. And $1 domestics to boot. An absolute must.
Toby’s tavern has forever ruined me for any other wings. Coming from southern Arizona I always search for a one of kind, local gem and Toby’s did not disappoint. Wonderful hospitality and best home cooking I have ever came across. Thank you Tobys for making us feel welcomed.
Amazing place! Great soul food cooked to perfection! Great Sunday buffet and DJ Cliff is there every first and third Sunday for the steppers set! Had a lot of fun with great food and drinks.
The food was sooo delicious, and the staff service was immaculate. My friends and I loved it.
Tuesday and Wednesday, $1 beers (domestic), food is good and reasonably priced.
Our experience was great, waitress very accommodating and nice. Food had lots of flavor, and come out hot and fresh. We will be back! Oh pink lemonade is 🔥 📛 🚒 Louisville sports Family
5+5🌟=🥇 So, I finally have a chance to give you the diddy on Toby's! 🍻 I really love this place, folks are really nice, it's an older crowd, not too many jitterbugs, and those younger folks are very respectful the few that were in there. The ladies running the front had their kids their, doing double duty. And I mean the women were doing the double duty, raising children and running the front. It really is a family affair. 💐 I'll post a picture of my barbecue pork sandwich and a quick catfish dinner. All delicious! Compliments to the chefs. The place is clean, people are friendly, good conversation, and a lot of laughing. I have to give them a really excellent score on atmosphere. Also, a great place to watch the game. I'm going to add this to my favorites list, along with sports bar hopping. 🏈🏀⚾ I currently have 144 million on my views, so I don't pull any punches, and I don't give bad reviews. If I have an issue, I will wait until the next time. Everyone has bad days. But the two times that I've been there, zero bad days! Special mention to Vreszae, very kind, efficient, and very funny.💃 Also, plenty of slots! I'm not a slots guy, but if that's your gig, you can eat good and play to your heart's content.😏
We were in town for our son's Navy graduation and stopped in. Fancy Nancy and Ron were absolutely amazing! Felt like home. Thank you for welcoming us! Definitely worth the stop, and the fish is delicious!!!
Love Toby’s! Especially during happy hour. Ask for fancy Nancy
