My husband had talked about how great this place was for years and finally he took me there, I was very excited. The local non commercial atmosphere was nice, however the steak was bland and tasteless and there is not a very large selection of sides to pick from
and we ordered mashed potatoes and green beans. The green beans were good, but nothing else was. And they were good because they were ...

As a frequent visitor to Louisville for busines, I always try to push for dinner meetings at Pat's. Not only is the service always impeccable, but Pat seems to know every patron by name. The food is remarkably good, and, in these lean (get it! Pun intended!) times, my expense manager never complains about the tab for business dinners. There is always more food than apetites!
The location is...

When visiting a friend in Lou. we wanted a good steak so they suggested Pat's. We were assured by them that even thought they had never been that it was the most renowned steakhouse in Lou. Let me keep this short.
1. Rude service by waiter.
Our waiter not only forgot one of the side dishes but it took us almost to the end of the meal to get his attention to correct it.

Every time we've been there the service is fantastic and the food is out of this world! The atmosphere is so romantic but really neat at the same time. They have tons of pictures and memorbelia on the walls of things from Louisville. It's completely family oriented the owners kids all started out working there. The owner is a friend of my...

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/15/2007 - Best Steakhouse In Louisville HANDS DOWN!!!!!I am fortunate enough to live in Louisville and I try and visit this restaurant at least 4 times a year. Let me just start off by saying if you have not been to this steakhouse, you are missing out. For starters, the restaurant is locally owned and operated. This is evident as the owner is usually at the front door to greet you on the way in and will usually be by to personally see you to make su...
Read More On Citysearch welcometolouisville 10/2/2007 - A Louisville one-of-a-kindI know this restaurant has been around for a long time and they just keep getting better with age. I have been for both romantic dates and group dinners. The food is outstanding and I love the downplayed atmosphere. Service has always been exemplary but what I go there for is a great wine with a fantastic steak. They do have an extensive wine list that is always up-to-date and the servers are...
Read More On Citysearch chardy7 9/25/2007 - Wife says her fillet was the best she's ever eaten...We loved the atmosphere of Pat's. We waited a few minutes (<10) on a busy Sat. night for a booth. We were barely seated when our waiter appeared taking drink orders. It seemed every time we looked up there was "Chuck" to serve us. Best service we've ever had..
My wife had the fillet and I had the New York strip. Both were prepared exactly as ordered.
What better can you ask.... atmo...
Read More On Citysearch jack_flash1949 9/23/2007 - A taste of LouisvilleMy family dined here recently for a birthday celebration. It was a wonderful experience. We sat outside and ate a leisurely dinner. I never wanted for anything, and hardly noticed the server at all. I never felt rushed and the food was excellent. My steak was very good (although I did wish they had a rib eye). The lima beans are the best I have ever eaten. I would recommend this restaurant...
Read More On Citysearch momfuller 9/13/2006 - "She ain't what she used to be!"This place was my favorite steak place in Louisville...BAR NONE! As a customer who has dined here since 1981, I have seen the very good and the very bad. And right now, it's very bad. My last 3 visits have firmly convinced me that the service and quality of food, is nothing more then a memory. To say the management (owner) is rude would be an understatement! It's gotten so bad, that if you ...
Read More On Citysearch derbycityusa 3/5/2006 - Poor service & Rude ManagementVery mediocre food with little or no service and rude management when we complained. They do not have a no-smoking area. Although the restaurant was nearly empty, they seated people right next to each other.
Read More On Citysearch docdoc 9/15/2005 - I just don't get it...So, finally after a year of living in Louisville and hearing all the rave reviews, I went to Pat's. And I'll never go back nor will I EVER recommend it to another soul. The best thing I had were the lima beans which, no doubt, were canned from Sysco. The tough, well-done low-grade pork chops were tasteless, the rolls, reminiscent of brown and serves, were hard and our server though kind and atten...
Read More On Citysearch neurotikitty 4/12/2005 - awesomethis place is great and always a treat. if you want to have a great meal (especialy a great steak) with great service, this is one place to consider! I could go on and on, but you really should just go try for yourself - you wont be disappointed!
Read More On Citysearch fuque 10/1/2004 - Top Of The LineMy visit to Pat's Steak House was one I will not soon forget. I was astounded by the service we were given as well as the great food and wine. White table cloths and rich wood paneling in the old style was impressive. Prompt and courteous service and the delicous food was worth every dollar of the pricey tab in the end. I highly recommend this restaurant. Prime rib and White Zinfandel done just s...

Read More On Citysearch dacow 3/12/2004 - Pat's is bestForget those national chain steak houses that are so overpriced in both food and drink. Pat's is a local gem and one of the best kept secrets in Louisville. They only take cash or checks, but the food and service are the best. They treat you like family and the owner is always available to make certain you are happy and well fed. I love this place!

Ho-hum steak for a nose-bleed price. Bad place for a health minded date, even the broiled fish came submerged (litterally) in a pool of butter.
Read More On Citysearch Rick_Chapman 1/13/2003 - Filet MignonBest steak I ever eat. Get the largest filet mignon with a nice bottle of dark wine and enjoy. Make reservations and avoid the bar side. Bring cash and an empty stomach to guarantee satisfying culinary devourment. Just ask for a fork, no knife necessary unless u need to pat some butter on your baked potato.
Read More On Citysearch Joedrink 1/5/2003 - Dining PerfectionEvery time I visit Louisville, I must take my parents to eat at Pat's Steakhouse. It is absolutely by far the best steak I have ever eaten in the U.S.
The Ladies Petite filet is the perfect size and it positively melts in your mouth.
They also prepare a very smooth whiskey sour and have a nice wine selection.
Everything on the menu is delicious!!
The staff is ALWAYS very friendly and...

Read More On Citysearch bogart4 1/3/2003 - Pat's deserves congrats!Pat's Steakhouse is my favorite steak place in Louisville. It never fails to make me happy. The steaks have great flavor and the sides do as well. You can never leave feeling unsatisfied.
Read More On Citysearch lanibatausa 12/15/2002 - Louisville: circa 1960We really loved Pat's Steakhouse - the food was great - we both had the NY strips which were cooked to perfection - Pat's is not cheap but it is very comfortable with no "attitude" - but don't go there expecting any fancy decor, this is old Louisville - the service was attentive - overall - it was just plain fun!
Read More On Citysearch unhappy_camper 10/25/2002 - Non-smokers stay awayThis "Louisville Tradition" seems stuck firmly in the 60's. The decor, the menu and even the food are there. The food is quite good, the steaks wonderful. The wine list (even Premium) are wines that can be found at any grocery store.
Biggest Problem--There is NO non-smoking section and smoke is present throughout the restaurant. This ruined the entire visit for my wife and I.
Smokers deligh...
Read More On Citysearch glassman1215 10/7/2002 - Solid, But Not The BestPat's steakhouse has a wonderful Irish ambiance. The dining room was elegant, but rustic. The waiters were attentive and knowledgeable. The Wine selection was outstanding, though slightly overpriced. The crux of the matter is the chow. The 28oz porterhouse was the best offered, but was not comparable to other steakhouses in Louisville area. The greenbeans were drenched in bacon fat, not my ...

Read More On Citysearch christophertodd001 8/8/2002 - DisappointedWe had heard so much about this place that we made a reservation and had some friends meet us there for dinner. The service was very poor, the waiter was very uninterested in being of any service or even being friendly. I noticed a lot of dust on the shelves and decor around us. We were shocked to find out that they only accept cash. The prices are too high not to accept some sort of credit o...
