Visit Louisville: Doc Crow's Southern Smokehouse & Raw Bar

The first place we dined at while in Louisville, and my favorite restaurant from our entire trip, was Doc Crow's Southern Smokehouse & Raw Bar.

Located in the famed Whiskey Row of Louisville, the restaurant specializes in American Southern Cuisine.

Whiskey flight

Of course I had to try some whiskey since I was in Louisville!  The options were pretty overwhelming, so our server recommended a flight of whiskeys.  I'm not much of a whiskey drinker, so I thought each one was very strong!

I couldn't wait to dig in to everything we ordered - many of which are Kentucky staples!

Pimento Beer Cheese & Chips

Catfish Platter

Smokehouse Sampler

Grilled Cheese

Side Supper

Side Supper

We started off with a Kentucky must-try - Beer Cheese!  It was slightly spicy, and so addicting!

I had the Catfish Platter, which also included Hushpuppies & Pickled Vegetables.  The catfish was fantastic - seasoned perfectly and just so tender & flaky.  Everything on that platter was delish!

My husband had the Smokehouse Sampler, which consisted of Pulled Pork, Beef Brisket, and Ribs (can opt for Chicken instead of Ribs).  He loved everything on his plate as well.

Kids meals are just $6!  The Side Supper includes any two sides (my sons chose Mashed Potatoes and Mac'n'Cheese; French Fries and Mac'n'Cheese).

Derby Pie

Wilbur Sundae

We ordered two desserts because I just had to try the Wilbur Sundae, as well as the traditional Derby Pie. The Wilbur Sundae included cinnamon pork rinds and brown butter praline ice cream sprinkled with candied bacon.  I was pleasantly surprised with how yummy the combo was!

I really liked the Derby Pie a lot more though. It was so smooth and chocolaty!

I loved everything about Doc Crow's - the food, the service, the ambience.

It's definitely a must-visit if you're in Louisville!
