Had lunch today with a couple of women friends. It has been years since any of us had been there but were looking for a place where we could eat and just sit and chat, which we did for 3 hours. Absolutely no pressure from the bartender to order drink or vacate once we finished our burgers. We ordered 2 burgers and a couple of orders of fries to split and had left over hambuger since the birgers are huge. I think it was a 1/2 lb buger, dressed, served piping hot as weemre the french fries. Bartender was very sweet and brought us our food and refilled our sodas and water. A handful of parking places in front of the bar, only about a dozen high top tables and a couple of booths, in addition to bar seating. Typical neighborhood bar, old, dark and dated but good burgers and service

Got 2 Bambi burgers and the cheese balls to go. Everything tasted great and it was a super friendly atmosphere!!! If I wasn't in a rush to just grab food and get to my destination I would've LOVED to stay and hang around in there. Portions were great for the price. Could've enjoyed more of the cheese balls though, they were so good. Burger was a teeny bit dry but still delicious! Can't wait t get it again!

Dive bar with great burgers, fries and onion rings. Standard appetizers with cold beer and mixed drinks that don't break the bank. Limited indoor seating with friendly servers.

Great local watering hole. Staple for anyone who wants a genuine Louisville Highland experience. After all, it is the start of the Bambi Walk. The food is always good, the service and company is better!

Good prices for good food! We enjoyed the Bambi burgers, steak fries, and onion rings and the beers were cheap! The onion rings were my favorite!

I have loved the Bambi burger for 45 yrs and have endured many new changes along the way, like the cool little packs of mustard, ketchup, salt n pepper, napkin and the piece of peppermint candy that have disappeared but now the infamous toothpick that keeps that huge burger together has disappeared.......unbelievable!!!

My favorite dive with unreal food. The wings, sauce on the side. Best wings in Lou. And don't get me wrong the burger is insane. And they have miller high life in bottles. It's my type of place.

I have been coming here for 45 years. My dad started bringing me here when O was 7 years old. It has changed owners a few times but the food and the atmosphere is still the same as it was 45 years ago. The food, service and ambiance are awesome if you like a good neighborhood dive bar with great fried bar food and the famous Bambi Burgers! This is the home of the "Bambi Walk"!

Bambi's burgers are legendary, and splitting one is a great way to indulge in a date day! Cheap drinks, great company, friendly staff, and all the dive bar ambience you could want - Bambi's has it all!

Yes. Yes. Yes. I don't even know where to start. I almost hate posting this bc more people will find out about this gem then there's going to be a line. Once you walk through the doors you realize this a neighborhood hang out. Where everyone knows your name and they just cook simple AND amazing bar food. We love that tons of people drive past this place everyday and have no idea that hands down they have one of THE BEST BURGERS in ton. Nothing fancy. Just a sold (huge) burger. Cooked fresh and with love. No fancy cheeses. No fancy toppings. No fancy buns. Just straight up amazing burger. They don't ask how you want it cooked it just comes out a perfect medium well. The fries are crispy and perfect side with this. They have great beer specials and we can't wait to go back and try more. And yes, thru do a TON of carry out biz. Inside, we saw mostly middle aged couples from the highlands area that know hood food and just want a gray judged at reasonable prices. Can't wait to go back!!!!
