Celebrating 100+ Years of Family Seafood Tradition in Louisville, Kentucky

Mike Linnig’s is a Louisville tradition and one of the best places in town for fried fish. I’ve been coming here for years, and the quality has always been consistent. The fish is fried to crispy, golden perfection, and the portions are generous. While prices have gone up over the years, the amount of food you receive makes it a great value. The outdoor seating area is spacious, mostly shaded, and perfect for large groups, family gatherings, or enjoying a nice day outside. If you’re looking for great seafood in a relaxed, casual setting, Mike Linnig’s is always a solid choice.

The fish is really good! The portions are plenty. The prices are alittle pricey, but you get enough serving for two, on a order. The onion rings are the best! The indoor or outdoor atmosphere is the best!! One of Louisville best restaurants!! Worth the trip there....

The fish and atmosphere is incredible. The food has gotten so expensive. We have been going to Mike's for years and have never had a bad experience. This establishment has done things right for years!

Food portions are huge

Great food large potions, friendly staff, fun atmosphere

Great place for family and friends. Very casual outdoor seating at picnic tables, some are under gazebos. The is limited indoor seating, too. It is usually pretty busy at dinnertime, and the wait times to receive your order can be about 20-30 minutes. It is worth the wait!

We had a family gathering planned in one of their gazebo's and it poured down rain the day of our get-together. They graciously moved our large party indoors and took great care of us; from the family matriarch down to the youngest babe in the group. We were especially enamored with our waitress, Kim. She anticipated our many needs and was right there every step of the way. Whether it was getting our hors d'oeuvres out first, refills, extra plates for sharing the huge portions, to-go boxes, and more; she took excellent care of us and amplified the joy of being together with family. 💝

Fantastic meal on a rainy night. Fish sandwich was twice as big as any recent fish meal. A single piece was thick, perfectly cooked and lightly breaded. Their tartar sauce is fantastic. Slaw and fries above average. Onion rings were tops. Outside table under a pavilion had a fan and was a nice venue. Would highly recommend the short drive to visit this icon. Thanks!

We ate here for the first time. I was so impressed. The food and service was excellent. The portions were very generous. We will definitely be back.

It was crowded but we got our food ate and was gone with in an hour. Had live music outside . Nice .
