We are also exited to announce the return of our family and friends' favorite - the Bristol Sunday Brunch buffet. Home of the Green Chili Wontons, Louisville’s favorite guilty pleasure, Bristol Bar & Grille has been the city’s neighborhood restaurant since 1977. Original menu dishes include the classic Bristol Burger and aged, charbroiled New York Strip steak as well as new favorites like Pork Dijonnaise and Theresa’s Sweet Chili Linguine. We source ingredients from local farmers. Certified Bourbon Stewards are on staff to guide diners on selection of Kentucky’s native spirit. Bristol Bar & Grille East is located at 300 North Hurstbourne Parkway, north of Shelbyville Road. Guests can opt to sit in the traditional dining room or the outside patio.

    Food and service were excellent as usual. It’s holiday time so the noise level was very high.

    Server never brought our salads, even told a fib when the meals arrived and we asked for salads that she generally brings the salad with the meal (false… salads are brought before the meal) and even after that fib she came back after many minutes and said the kitchen was behind so still no salads. Terrible. We are usually OK to give a pass on busy nights but the lie was disrespectful.

    Had our annual Christmas luncheon, there were 4 of us. Our server was lovely! We had several gifts to dispense and she brought us a small table so we could place our gifts there and were able to have more space to eat. She was attentive without being obtrusive. The food was excellent and prepared attractively. A very good experience, will definitely return

    Buffet was very disappointing! Had to ask server for scrambled eggs. Cramped area for desserts and waffles. For the price should have been an omelette station? No bagels, did not see any toast? Much cooler seated near front entrance when door opened and closed.
    Bristol Bar & Grille - EastResponded on 11 December 2024
    Dear Teddy, Thank you for your feedback about your recent visit. We regret that your experience with our buffet did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the availability of items, the layout, and the temperature near the entrance are valuable to us, and we will use this feedback to make improvements. We appreciate your suggestion about adding an omelet station and will take it into consideration as we continue to enhance our offerings. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable dining experience in the future. Regards, Bristol East
