Local Kentucky restaurant draws suspicion online for its blacked-out windows and multiple CCTVs: ‘It’s so ominous’

Jaala (@conspiracycutiee2) from Kentucky posted a TikTok video about a local restaurant. It’s going viral not because of its delectable offerings, but because she believes something suspicious is going on at the establishment.

InKredibles Burgers & Shakes is a fast food restaurant located in Louisville, Kentucky. One video advertisement on their official website shows diners dining al fresco on a patio. Several staffers also appear in the video, serving plates to customers. The restaurant in the video was brick, with decorative lights hanging from the ceiling.

However, Jaala’s video of the real establishment differs greatly from the ad. The building is pink, and the windows and doors appear boarded up, with blacked-out curtains. Jaala said, “I walked up to check and see what the scoop was. Look at their prices, look at their menu, look at this ring doorbell.” She was suspicious of the doorbell next to the takeout counter outside. Although there was a doorbell, a black container blocked the takeout counter.

“How does one order, right? So I go, and I walk up to the door. Why the f*** do the doors say ‘ring doorbell for service’? You mean, the Ring camera?” Jaala said. She peeked inside the building, but her camera showed little. She commented, “It’s so ominous.” Jaala walked around the building to get a better look.

“You can’t tell what the f*** is going on, ‘cause they got curtains around the perimeter,” she said. Opaque pink and purple curtains draped the glass walls, keeping people outside from seeing in. She continued, “The drive-thru has AI pictures stuck to the speaker.” It’s definitely not as busy as this McDonald’s drive-thru, which served a family of eleven. Regardless, Jaala didn’t try ordering at the drive-thru and couldn’t verify whether it worked on that day.

A restaurant with an abundance of cameras

“When you drive past this establishment, it’s never f****** open,” she alleged. But contrary to her claim, “Open” signs were plastered around the building. However, the establishment’s opening hours are unknown because they aren’t posted outside. She continued, “One thing they did have, though, was a whole lot of security cameras.”

Jaala said she ate at the restaurant a couple of years ago. She said, “It was f****** disgusting. It looks like they have more cameras than anything. Very interesting establishment.” However, reviews are mixed, and other social media users who claim to have eaten there have also posted. One content creator said that she got free mac and cheese with her order. She claimed that the food was cooked fresh, the fries were still hot, and the caramel milkshake was “fire.” While she didn’t like that the burger had bell peppers, she approved of the mac and cheese. For that one customer, it seemed like a better dining experience than what these sisters experienced at an Olive Garden branch in Texas, where they were forced to accept an order they didn’t ask for.

Just a regular small fast food business

InKredibles Burgers & Shakes also replied to Jaala’s TikTok video. They wrote, “Whether you like our food or not, InKredible’s has been part of this community for nearly four years, and we’re proud of what we stand for. We’re a small business in an underserved community that has faced vandalism, theft, adversities, and other challenges.” While not explicitly stated, the cameras may be the business’s response to the alleged theft in the area.

They continued, “Still, we keep showing up feeding people experiencing homelessness and veterans, and supporting organizations that help women and children facing food insecurity. We’re also grateful for our loyal customers. Their support means so much to us, and we’ll continue to recognize and honor the people who have stood by our business. This October, we’re supporting Breast Cancer Awareness. Rather than filming our establishment while we’re closed, come by when we’re open and support the cause with us. It’s easy to film a closed door. It takes more to learn the story behind it and support the community.”
