Reviews
The food, service, and atmosphere were all top-notch. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the fried chicken wings, oysters, catfish & grits, turkey burnt ends, and collard greens, and every single item was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. You can taste the love and talent in every bite — true comfort food with amazing seasoning and portions.
Our server Aniyah took such great care of us. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.
As soon as we walked in, the music and vibe set the tone — energetic, fun, and welcoming. The playlist was on point and added to the whole experience. We also love that they have Dasha After Dark until 2AM — great food, great music, and a great vibe all in one place.
We had an incredible experience and will definitely be returning next time we’re in Louisville. Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing food, good energy, and a place that delivers on all levels!
First time in Louisville, KY, but before coming into town, Dasha Barbours came highly recommended on social media. A group of us came in on a Saturday night for dinner and decided to sit at the bar. The inside of the restaurant gives a chic new orleans themed vibe.
Once seated the bartender approached us right away to share the specials for the day and to take our drink orders. We ordered the soulfood egg rolls (8/10), salmon bites(10/10), chipotle brussel sprouts (8/10), and the infamous collard green dip (8/10) to share. If you order nothing else from this list, you must order the salmon bites. I repeat order the salmon bites!! They were seasoned to perfections and very addictive.
Lastly, for my entree I had the chicken and waffles (8/10) and a strawberry lemon drop (10/10) to drink. The waffles were very soft, but they were too sweet for me due to the sugar crust they put on top. However, the chicken was cooked really well to my suprise.
I would definitely come back again and recommend this spot to others.
Unfortunately, when we arrived on time, our table was not ready. We waited approximately 45 minutes to an hour before being seated. During that time, a staff member mentioned they were running about 30 minutes behind, although they appeared to be fully staffed. When I asked how much longer it would be, I was told they were “getting us together,” and the server mentioned she “fought to be our server,” which I found to be an odd comment.
After finally being seated, we ordered drinks, which arrived in a reasonable time. However, it took about an hour for our food to come out. During that wait, our waitress did not check on us. I had to personally ask what was taking so long, especially since another table that was seated after us received their food before we did. We were told their order was placed two minutes before ours, which did not justify the extended delay.
When our food finally arrived, one member of our party did not receive her meal until about 10 minutes after everyone else had been served. Throughout the meal, the waitress did not return to check on us to see if everything was satisfactory. We had to request our checks and carryout boxes ourselves.
Additionally, a 20% gratuity was automatically added to each ticket. While I understand many establishments add gratuity for larger parties (typically 8 or more), we were informed that their policy applies to parties of 5 or more. I do not mind paying 18–20% for good service, but in this case, the service simply did not reflect that level of gratuity.
The menu prices were quite high for what I would consider a basic restaurant experience. There was nothing particularly unique or specialty-driven about the menu compared to many chain restaurants. I would rate the food a 7 out of 10 — decent, but not enough to outweigh the overall experience. Also you had to scan a bar code to view the menu.
Unfortunately, due to the long waits, lack of attentiveness, and overall service concerns, I will not be returning.
