If you love fried fish sandwiches and plates, this is your place! Great French fries but I ordered 2 cole slaw instead.

Visited again today with a party of 14 and Amanda, our server, was super! As was the food as usual. Love the Fish Plate with 2 huge pieces of fish, one of the best Cole slaws anywhere! I got fries this time and we shared three orders of some of the tastiest onions rings on the planet.

Visited today, March 1, 2026 and Brittani served us without a flaw. We had 10 in our party and everyone left filled with delicious fish, shrimp, cheeseburger, cole slaw (the best not made by my mother-in-law) and the best and freshest onion rings I have EVER had in my almost 71 years on this earth. Mike Linnig's is a gem of a restaurant in Louisville.

My kids have been in Louisville for 26 yrs and every year we talk about going to Linnigs for fish. We'll, today it all came together and I can say I was very pleased. The food was great. The people were very nice. It was just the best all the way around. Already looking forward to our next visit....

Haven't gotten the fold yet but expecting it to be delicious! We're watching everyone else's plates and they look amazing. The place is packed but doesn't feel slow as far as service. Plenty of parking, seating, food options, and so on. Menu is pricey so I doubt it'll be a regular staple, but they are only open seasonally, so may become an annual date night for us.
