The Silly Axe Cafe

I’m so glad we got to eat here! It’s a dedicated GF restaurant that currently has a stall located in a neighborhood market. The food is delicious and the staff are incredibly kind. We tried the chicken and waffles as well as the quesadilla. I wish we lived closer so we could go back!

I had to travel to Louisville for work and finding a safe restaurant with GF options has been exhausting. The Silly Axe is a gem of a restaurant and I highly recommend it for anyone in the area who is sensitive to cross contamination. I even went with someone who isn’t gf and he said it was the best food he’s had in Louisville out of all the restaurants we’ve tried.

100% gluten free facility that I have never felt unsafe at! As for other reviews stating inconsistent hours, I follow the shop on social media and know that the owner recently lost her husband to a long fight with cancer, so please show some patience. They’re the best! (Celiac)

Love this dedicated gluten free restaurant! I always make it a point to visit when in the Logan Street Market area. The food is always fresh & delicious! I’m a fan of the Big Axe sandwich, but my daughter always goes for the Chicken Fingers & Fries (a meal that is hard to find GF!) Cake is often available, sold by the slice, so I’m able to walk away with a sweet treat as well! I’d definitely recommend Silly Axe to anyone looking for a safe spot to get a gf meal!

Silly Axe is a gem. A dedicated gluten free facility that serves delicious food. If you want a good meal and complete peace of mind that anything you order is celiac safe then this place should always be your first stop. Highly recommend the biscuits, the BCR and any desert.

Had absolutely zero vegetarian options. Hours were also wrong. Their website seems to say something about this, but I’d call before to check the hours and don’t go if you don’t eat meat. Really hate to say this about a dedicated gf place, but I’m sure it will get better.

We stopped by on a Tuesday evening. Tracy gave us a free sample of the corn chowder. We ended up getting the corn chowder with chicken on a biscuit, and a hot brown. The food was fantastic. I was scraping the biscuit bits off the bottom of the pan. If we’re ever back in Louisville, we will be back.

Basically moved to Louisville just to eat here every day.

I will say give them some grace as the Owner is going through some terrible times. The last time I went there (February 2nd, 2024) the food was so good! The part time chef they got is definitely an asset. He made the best GF cupcakes I ever had. It really depends on who makes your food as some of the younger people may not have that care of detail.

I was really excited since there were a decent amount of reviews. Unfortunately they close at 7 o’clock not 8 o’clock like is posted on Google and their website. the owner was still there so I was able to grab a piece of cookie cake and it was delicious. excited to come back here when they’re actually open. Thought I should revise a review here so everyone knows when they actually close so they aren’t disappointed that they can’t grab dinner. It’s a very cool space so I’m excited about trying it again when I’m back in town.

I hate being negative about a 100% gf restaurant. But the food was flavorless, even the bacon had no flavor. The waffle wasn’t cooked all the way. A waffle should be crispy around the edges. Fries were not cooked well either. I asked for salt for fries and at first they couldn’t find any.

Loved this spot! Best French fries I’ve had since I was diagnosed 7 years ago. Lightly seasoned without being overpowering-and crispy! The double decker sandwich was good, and the bread was amazing. Held together and tasted like real bread!

We went there with high expectations but left disappointed. The waffles were very chewy and they told us they couldn’t figure out the batter. The chicken fingers had no taste. There were no cinnamon rolls that were listed on the menu. Maybe it was off day for them. The staff was not very friendly and it seems like they didn’t want to be there

A bit of a disappointment every time I go. Being one of the only gluten free safe places in town I’ve wanted to like this place. I’ve ordered chicken and waffles multiple times and every time they’re dry and lacking in flavor. I feel like the ones I can cook in the oven from Kroger taste better... I’ve also called before with questions and have been met with rude entitled responses. They mostly offer heat up/to go food and over charge for it. Gluten free food is more expensive and I have never had a problem spending money on these things… When the food is worth it. Unfortunately theirs has continued to disappoint every time I give it a chance. Maybe it’s time to change up the menu or take more time improving the things they do sell because it seems to be thrown together and lacking anything special.

I came to the new location in Logan Street Market, Wednesday 8:15am and there wasn’t one person there to open the spot. It looked as if when they left, they left everything as is, dirty dishes, prep from Saturday? I don’t know but I was really let down on my experience.

Food was good, but set your expectations before going. The menu on line is completely inaccurate. They only have a few items on their actual menu and on the Friday when I went at lunch, they were out of some items on the limited menu. Only one person was working, so it took forever to get the food. Waffles were soggy and eggs were rubbery (both precooked who knows when). Chicken was good.

The also make wonderful biscuits and the best carrot cake ever! There were other choices, but it was amazing that everything is gf and zero cross contamination issues…. What a remarkable place!!!!

My family recently visited. It’s location is in an extremely neat local market with a laid back vibe. It’s dedicated 100% gluten free so it is Celiac safe. The food was delicious. The waffle sandwich and the bacon chicken wrap were both awesome!! The gluten free chocolate cake was the winner for the day. My daughter who has Celiac Disease was in Heaven eating it. The only down side was the wait. It took a while to get our food; however, they were extremely busy and there was only three of them. We didn’t mind but I wanted to mention in case you are on a time crunch. It is completely worth finding this little gem and enjoying the food without worrying about gluten exposure or cross contamination. We will be visiting again!!!!

Everything was gluten free. It's 100 percent GF. However, the flavor of most of the food we got was bland and the biscuit was like cardboard and just as thick.

There were very few drink options.

I was excited to go here and let my daughter be able to pick anything, but it just wasn't very tasty.

It is in a huge building with lots of other vendors - in case this info matters.

It was very expensive and rather disappointing.

As advertised, Louisville’s only 100% gluten free dining experience. You can find this gem in the Logan Street Mall. There is 0 gluten in the place so no rush for cross contact. You can take your food order to the nearby bar if you’d like. The dining space right outside the restaurant is a dedicated gluten free zone. Nice touch! I enjoyed the fried chicken with French fries. Delicious!

I hadn’t been to Louisville in years, and was nervous about what options would be available to me. Went to this little food stall in the Logan Street Market, so that my non-GF partner could have more options.

This place blew my socks off. Their Nashville Chicken and Waffles was the chicken and waffles I’ve been dreaming about. The chicken was so. freaking. moist. The fry was so. freaking. crispy. The Nashville hot sauce was unconventional, but it was perfect. Topped with FAT pickles. *chef’s kiss*

But the best part was, trick was on me, many of the other stalls in the market were either GF or had robust GF offerings (arepas, tacos, grits, etc) My partner had sushi, but he regrets not getting the chicken.

The Silly Little Axe is in a very cute building. It’s store front all though a little quiet because it’s not as busy as the other restaurants around it, is inviting, clean and well advertised. There is inside and outside dinning. You place your order at the counter and then they bring your food to the table. The employees are very friendly. The food came in a reasonable amount of time. Everything was delicious. Our order consisted of: axe hamburger (fresh bun was delicious and it didn’t fall apart, the meat tasted like a fresh patty not frozen and it was served with lettuce and tomato); fried chicken and waffle (the chicken was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, the sauce was on point and the waffle was also very good. It never fell apart.); jerk chicken wrap (it was fried chicken in the jerk sauce wrapped in a tortilla. All three meals ordered had us all loving every bight. The presentation of the food is casual. But the flavors will positively surprise you. We were happy we made the trip over to this place from Louisville. Will return and suggest it to others.
