Lynn's Paradise Cafe is always talked about in Louisville, KY especially around the time of the KY Derby. When I moved here, I was excited to make my first visit to the restaurant. The outside has stone...

Lynn's is a Louisville staple. Anytime friends come from out of state to visit, we make at least one trip to Lynn's. I have only eaten breakfast there, but others swear by their lunch and dinner menu. There is...

My first day on a new job the boss took us out to Lynn's Paradise Cafe. What a fun place! The staff are very unique and are encouraged to be themselves. I love the decor. They had a ton of ugly lamps ...

I agree with Kelly F's post. This is the place to take friends from out of town.

This is where the liberal elite meet to eat. No doubt it. This is the "We're too cool for you" crowd." If they spent half as much time improving the food as they did proving how hip the place is with all of...

I visited this restaurant for breakfast. It was busy, and very loud. The breakfast food was good, though average. And overpriced. However, they did offer parking and did take reservations. I don't see what the...

Lynn's is one of those places where you want to take guests when they come to Louisville to visit for the first time. It's fun, it's memorable, and the food's good, too. It has a funky vibe, with colo...

It's a unique place to eat and have a good time. You can't miss it, with all the wacky statues and decor it's hard to miss. They offer great food and it's a very popular place and wins awards all the ...

The one thing I like about Lynn's is its quirkiness. But the food is so consistently bad that I wouldn't go there even for the cute overpriced boutique in front of the restaurant and the novelty. The first...

The food is great especially the sweet potatoes fries and french toast. They have alot of cool stuff to look at from the 60's and 70's. From my experience there, it can get pretty loud and the waits are long...

You do get a lot of food, but I would not eat breakfast there again because it is too expensive.

Louisville has many great breakfast spots but Lynn's combines great food quality, fun atmosphere, and true neighborhood locale to stand above the rest.

I'm an ex-louisville resident and whenever I'm in town with my family, it always includes at least one trip to Lynn's for breakfast. It's definitely one of the many things I miss about home in Louisville.

It's too artsy-fancy for me. I like all the toys, but I can do without the food. A suggestion for ALL restaurants: Not ALL vegetarians eat fancy, exotic food covered in peppers and onions!

The outside of the restaurant first caught my attention, and I just had to go in. The atmosphere, friendly service and quality food at a reasonable price, brings me back.

Wonderfully wacky. Takes disregarded items and arranges in an off center artistic sort of way. Food is very good with large portions. Don't eat at chains when one of kind local places like this are available.
