Best

1 of the best burgers in Louisville. Genny's isn't fancy,but the food is well portioned and cheap.

Worst

I have visited diners in many states, therefore knew that they were not known for their cleanliness or attention to health codes; however, Genny's was absolutely awful. The bathr...

Death on a Plate 1/5/2003

These burgers are great but greasy. Don't plan on eating here more than once a year or your looking for a triple by pass before your thirty. more

Fried, Fried and More Fried 1/5/2003

Just a Mom and Pop shop! Delicious, none-the-less! Try eating the hugemongous burger that weighs in at ???...way too much! Frickled pickles! Yum!!! Batter-dipped, fried pickle slices are sure to get your saliva glands ready for one of the best burgers in Louisville! Pros: Friendly, Delicious Cons: Parking Lacks Spaces, Dingy more

FRICKLE PICKLES ARE THE BEST! 12/19/2002

I absolutely LOVE the frickle pickles! I want the recipe! The huge burger is good too! You have to be careful of the center though. Sometimes it isn't quite done to the ""well done"" status I always want. I'd say it's about 97% done though and that's really good in my book. Pros: frickle pickles Cons: they get cold soon more

Sweet Daddy Burger 10/19/2002

Genny's sweet daddy burgers are big enough to satisfy even the biggest appetite. They also happen to taste great, especially with a side of ""frickled pickles"". Pros: friendly staff, cool fish, good food Cons: crowded parking, off the beaten path, could use a remodel more

*Frickled Pickles* they're hmm hmm good! 8/30/2002

You hear about these places and see them in movies..you know. Cheers type bars and resteraunts with food so good the locals keep it secret, but, you rarely find one in real life that lives up to the hype. Genny's Diner does. The food is so good and they serve such incredible amounts, anyone would enjoy the place for just those reasons. Add an ""at home"" atomsphere and characters that seem to come from the pages of a novel AND the most incredible apetiser you can imagine, namely the Frickle Pickle..and you got yourself a fun, fantastic eatery. At anytime you might see the mayor of louisville, or Boxing champs like Jimmy Ellis or even Ali! The kids love it, the wife loves it, my friends love it...and so do I. Pros: good value, service oriented, great food Cons: limited parking, can get crowed, eating too much! more

Frickled Pickles! 8/30/2002

Go for the burger, stay for the pickles! By far, the frickled pickles are the mainstay of Genny's. They may not sound good, but one taste and you're hooked. The Sweet Daddy burger (1/2 pound of meat, smothered with cheese) may not be to your liking, but their other menu items are just as tasty. Sit anywhere you like! Pros: great food, inexpensive Cons: limited parking, decor needs help more

the best burger 8/10/2002

THis place is excellent. I recently moved to Kentucky from the east coast. They have good food at excellent prices. The atmosphere is very relaxing. You cant find places like this. it is great. more

You want me to finish this? 7/26/2002

I remember when there wasn't a huge hype about Genny's diner, and it was still a place that no one knew about. The wonderful thing is, even though it's THE place for the best burger in the world, they still keep things friendly and laid back. The sound of a deep friend pickle will freak anyone out, but trust me, one taste and that will be the only thing you can think about for the next three days. If you're not from Louisville and plan on visiting, make this place a priority on the visit! Pros: Meal Size, Friendly service, interesting location Cons: insufficient parking, sometimes crowded more

Forget the diet! 7/24/2002

I have eaten at Genny's twice and both times the burgers were great. I'm a 240 pounder and I wouldn't even try to take on the massive Sweet Daddy Burger. This is not the place to go if you have high cholesterol or are on a diet. These burgers are ground chuck and dripping with grease. Also take cash, no credit cards accepted, but there is an ATM in foyer that charges a $3 fee. Pros: size of portions, value, awesome burgers Cons: greasy, no credit cards, hard to park more

LOTSO'FOOD! 7/22/2002

So like Mama used to make. If you can't get full here, you can't get enough to eat anywhere!!! more

Love the Pickles 7/18/2002

At first, I thought a fried pickle sounded gross. Not now!! I LOVE the fried pickles. I couldn't eat all of my regular burger. Well worth the money!! more
