We were in Louisville running errands and wanted to try something different, so we stopped at Mike Linnig’s, a true Louisville landmark celebrating 100 years this year. It’s a huge complex with both indoor dining and a large outdoor self-service area, and it definitely feels like a classic, casual seafood spot.
The menu leans heavily toward fried seafood. We went with the seafood platter, which included shrimp, fish nuggets, a fish fillet, scallops, frog legs (we skipped those), and a hush puppy. We also ordered onion rings on the side.
Highlights:
• Generous portions and quick service on a Saturday night.
• Friendly staff and a family-owned vibe.
• Their house tartar sauce is tasty.
• Fried food but not overly greasy.
• The white fish and fish nuggets were the best of the bunch—we’d order those again.
Not so great:
• The onion rings were the only real letdown. The portion was huge (about $9.95), but the batter was thin and undercooked, leaving the onions a bit raw and bland.
Price-wise, two of us ate for about $65 with tip, and we had enough leftovers for another meal, which feels very reasonable.
Overall, was this the best seafood I’ve ever had? No. But can I see why it’s been a Louisville staple for a century? Absolutely. It’s a fun, casual spot with generous portions, great for groups, especially if the weather is nice and you can sit outside at the picnic tables.

The seafood is fantastic. The service is great . It’s atmosphere is homespun eclectic. Beautiful by the river floodwaters walking nature trail. Location. A true treasure for the outskirts of Louisville metro location.

Friendly service, once you can figure out where and how to order. Food was good. Fish was fresh and nicely done. Hush puppies were too big and very dry. Other appetizers were good. Extra points for very cool outdoor space!

Second time here, and it always seems to be busy and popular. Large outdoor seating and even a playground for the kids. I’ve got the sampler both times, and it’s enough to feed you two or three meals with leftovers. The fish is excellent, but I think next time, I’m just going to order fried shrimp and frog legs as those are my two favorite items here.

Great location with plenty of seating, has an outdoor play area for kids, and conveniently located near a great walking/bike path.
Service is excellent.
Food is tasty. Mostly variations on fried chicken and fish either on a sandwich or on a plate. Many non-fried options as well. Portions are quite generous – come hungry!

I stopped at Mike Linnie’s after somehow hearing about its long history. I ordered the dinner fish plate, and although it was only supposed to have two pieces they gave me three. This made for a big meal, but it was delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked and tender, almost sweet. The fries and coleslaw were also good. Service was friendly and straightforward, and the outdoor seating had plenty of shade making it comfortable. It was a bit out of the way for me, but the meal was worth it. It was a great place to enjoy some no-frills seafood.

Oh wow!!! Such an awesome place to be at. We went there as a group, staffs were kind and helped us order our menus and the waiting time was shorter than expected. You may see in picture what we ordered as a group I would say we whole group enjoyed the food and the hospitality of these lovely staffs. Although I gave 4 stars on food not necessarily it means otherwise, it is just a personal preference of rating and little bitnfo here and there regardless, meal were awesome. Will look forward to tryout next time frog legs and alligator 😀 😀

Just a beautiful spot tucked back on the river. It is one of the best places to go for dinner. The food portions are out of this world. Look at all you get with the seafood plate. More fish than one person can eat. Cbad cake, deep-fried oysters, and scallops.
The patio is wonderful for outdoor seating and parties. Great bar area.

Haven’t gotten the fold yet but expecting it to be delicious! We’re watching everyone else’s plates and they look amazing. The place is packed but doesn’t feel slow as far as service. Plenty of parking, seating, food options, and so on. Menu is pricey so I doubt it’ll be a regular staple, but they are only open seasonally, so may become an annual date night for us.

Prices are up, portions are still large and the quality is still good. I’ve been going here for literally decades. I like everything except for the $18.95 price for a fish sandwich, but then again, I remember when they were $6.95.
