The Ville Grill — Restaurant in Louisville

The WORST place in the city for food. I have a horror story list. UofL requires students to buy a meal plan yet the Ville Grille constantly has nothing during scheduled meal times. Aside from them simply not having food at all, when they do it never matches the menu. Expect to wait to be served for upwards of 8 minutes because that is how understaffed they are. I will never forget biting into a baked potato and it crunching like an apple. But the worst part is the complete inconsistency. Sometimes they have delicious food. That’s about 3%. Most times are like today—missing half the menu items and for the items they DO have they are poorly cooked and missing ingredients. The shrimp tostadas…. Were missing the tostada.The fact that my cardinal card’s barcode didn’t work and the manager refused to type in my “student ID number despite this repulsive place being THE ONLY PLACE OPEN TO EAT ON CAMPUS. The utter disaster that is the Ville Grille might be excusable if UofL didn’t change the hours of every other on-campus dining to where this is the only place open.

I can’t even blame the workers for having bad attitudes when they are severely understaffed. This whole place is a joke and a disgrace. U of L is throwing students’ money...

Wide variety of foods. Many options that fit almost any diet. Full salad bar, full grill, pasta and even an international fare. Want just soup and a sandwich? They got that too. Allergic to gluten or nuts, a selection for those people as well. Even a dessert bar with froyo for those health-conscious.

Its got a school cafe feel to it. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner for a modest price. Some breakfast menu items are available all day which is nice for a 3rd shifter like myself. Very convenient hours and not too terrible food.

Quality, it can be hit or miss. But the food is made fresh and prepared in front of you.

May want to give it a try and by a try, I mean try all spots. Not just one. You may love it, you may hate it. For what its worth, you...

-I've been going to the Ville Grill for 5 years. It is the best and healthiest place to eat on campus. The Salad bar has everything you could want, they always have new dishes to try. They have a burger/chicken sandwich station, olmet station (breakfast), make a sandwich station, vegan options and speciality/fancy dishes many more areas. -It has a massive open area to eat with large surrounding windows with lots of seating. -All the staff are polite and friendly -They support local farmers and have a progressive zero waste policy. Note-If your on a budget come during late lunch from 2:30-4:00 Mon-Fri it's only 6.67$ no dessert bar but most other...
