Great service and even better food! Everything we ordered was delicious and high quality. The seafood was especially fresh, the fries were tasty, and the sweet tea hit the spot. The beignets are also good!! Selena is a great place for both brunch and dinner. Definitely a spot worth coming back to!

The cajun food was excellent, the service was extremely courteous, and it was an overall fantastic experience for a reasonable price.
Highly recommend the étouffée, jambalaya, and bread pudding!

Met some very precious friends here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. Weather was conducive so we were able to sit outside on the patio. Our young server was attentive, helpful and our food was delicious! We gathered at 11:30a and the last of the stragglers didn’t depart until 2:30p. The restaurant lunch rush had calmed and the servers were in no way trying to rush us off! Such a great reunion of friends over lunch! We will return!

I have a confession… I’ve lived in Anchorage and Middletown most of my life and have never been in. Today was the day! My 10:30 reservation afforded great weather for outside seating AND the privilege of the train going by! The outside seating area is almost as large as inside. The hostess, servers and wait staff were very attentive. My server knew the menu and answered questions well. The inside… since 1979 is a vibe-the bar and sitting area. The menu is not extensive but they do what they do well and the presentation is very good! This is a staple in Anchorage that you don’t want to miss! Go and enjoy

This is a very cute restaurant with beautiful decor. Seating outside during a good weather day is very chill.
The gumbo is good, very flavorful. The hash brown casserole is also tasty.
The bloody Mary and mimosa are reasonably priced. Portion of the creole omelet is huge. Overall we had a great time here. Would highly recommend it.

We discovered Selena’s at Willow Tavern while in Kentucky for our son’s New Trier hockey tournament — we were traveling from Winnetka on Chicago’s North Shore — and it was such a great find.
It’s conveniently located just down the street from the hockey rink, which made it the perfect place for our team families to gather between games. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was genuinely friendly and attentive. The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.
As a Winnetka mom who travels often for youth hockey, I always appreciate finding restaurants that make you feel comfortable and taken care of. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!

It might be unfair to judge this restaurant on the basis of one dish, but I think it really says a lot about the place. Based on the bartender’s recommendation I got the crab stuffed shrimp. Three 20/25 size shrimp deep fried to an ungodly rubberyness, butterflied and straddling a crab flavored Mushpuppy. There’s a well known trick in the bar business to make the food extra salty in the belief it makes people drink more. It just makes them eat less. The “remoulade” was just thousand island dressing so I guess they got one of the ingredients right.

Selena’s at Willow Lake Tavern is our
go-to place for Sunday brunch, the service is consistently excellent and the food is delicious! We love their $2 mimosas & $5 Bloody Mary’s, but the Creole Omelette, French toast and Beignets are amazing too. If you can make it on a Friday, their clam chowder is the best!

For this being the first time I have ever stepped into this establishment, I am absolutely blown away. I have never had the best service from the time, my family and I walk through the door, to the time we left. Absolutely the best restaurant we’ve been too. The menu choices, from the Cajun dishes to the children’s menu. The food was hot, presentable, and delicious. We are not from here, and we have traveled to multiple states. We have yet to have been to a restaurant that is this competent with their customer service skills or food presentation skills. Prices are fair, and the bar has multiple choices not to mention they never let your cup stay empty. If my family is ever driving through the Louisville area we will absolutely be back. This establishment is better than any luxury dining we have ever been too.
Our waiter Kevan, was quick made sure our needs were met. Very professional and kind. My daughters that are 6 and 12 absolutely loved him as well.
If you are in the Louisville area, absolutely stop by, you won’t leave disappointed at all!!
