Red Top — Restaurant in Louisville

I wanted this review to be great but it wasn't. The staff was nice and the food was good (more about that further on) but bottom line, it was too expensive!

We got the waygu dog (and yes 8 know that means expensive), bourbon and blue fries, and a pint of beer for $26 plus tip. The beer had a two inch head on it for $5 draft. If you are going to make me drink expensive beer, pour it right. I like good local draft (I drink it frequently) but would like a couple of cheaper options. They have cans but I'm not a fan of cans.

The dog was good, in fact the pretzel bun held up well and the dog had good snap and flavor. BUT for $13 it was skimpy. 4-4.5" 9f dog with no chips or fries for that much is not sustainable.

The fries were cooked perfectly and topped with a great tasting blue cheese and bacon topping. If anything, it might have been too much topping. We struggled to eat it all. I would get them again. In fact I would likely just get a side of fries with my dog next time, but an addition $3 on top of an already expensive dog is pushing it.

OK, I know we got the most expensive dog but even the 'regular' options start at $9. I would like to find a place with good flavor that we can stop in and get a good sausage but not sure we can afford these.

I will come back and hope my experience...

Kind of a strange place. Decor ZERO, prices a little high. BUT, BUT somehow it all WORKS. This is a hidden gem.

The hot dogs are not at all what you think of the word hot dog! The selection is very electric with great and unique flavors.

I suggest for a first time the flight of hot dogs w4 different mini dogs on really good buns Each is one of their signature combinations.

The sides were amazing. Fry's were great and crispy. Tots were just tots-- go with the fry's . The brussel sprouts were tender and topped with a delicious of bacon and I don't know but again it worked.

Warning, if you don't try the fried sour crout balls you are making a big mistake. They were unique and wonderful.

Only complaint was the limited selection of soft drinks. Just cans and bottles at really high prices. They have a full bar but no soda fountain. Strange but the entire place is a little strange

Clearly when you taste the food absolutely nothing else matters. I'll...

3.5 would be a more accurate rating. My husband ordered the Nirvana and loved it. The smoked gouda tots were also good. I ordered the Louisville, and it wasn't anything I would order again. The coney sauce/chili was very plain and I couldn't really taste the cheese. I asked for no mustard because I'm not really a mustard fan, but I can't imagine it would have made that much difference. On my order, the hot dog itself felt overcooked and rubbery and was harder to bite into than it should have been. The dog on the other was perfect according to my husband. We also had 2 kids dogs, and they were good but not anything super special. The fries and plain tots were also just ok. If you're a fan of McDs fries, you'll like them. I would prefer more crispy fries or something with a little seasoning.

Everything but the Louisville dog would have given this place a solid 4, but I give that...
