According to reporter Michael L. Jones at Louisville Business First, there is a new independently owned and operated franks purveyor in Fern Creek.
Uncle D’s Franks opened on Dec. 15 at 6409 Bardstown Road in the Harley Center, just inside the Gene Snyder Freeway. The carry-out only restaurant is next to a UPS Store and a Jeff’s Donuts location, which opened in the shopping plaza in October.
Uncle D’s Franks is owned by the husband-and-wife duo Detrick and Lindsey Prentice. They are longtime Fern Creek residents and the parents of four children. Lindsey said they wanted to start a restaurant that offered local families a budget-friendly alternative to some of the fast-food chains in the neighborhood.
As a sample of the fare: “Uncle D’s Franks offers corndogs and all-beef franks with a variety of toppings and batter options. The corn dogs can be cooked in a honey, bacon or jalapeño batter.”
Current hours are Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Saturday noon to 6:00 p.m.; and closed on Sunday.
