“I ordered the BBQ platter. I am a foodie person and always looking for quality food. 2nd time visiting. The meats was good and seasoned. The macaroni & cheese was very dried tasted as if it's been reheated instead of fresh. Greens was good. I will not be getting macaroni anymore. 😒“

“A quiet and relaxing gem a feel of a speakeasy with the Kentucky flair. Good drinks + great food.“

“Absolutely becoming my favorite location to enjoy a night out. I was a fan of the restaurant and then my wife and I had a chance to go to a cooking class with the Executive Chef. We made my favorite item on the menu. Honestly there isn't enough room on the form for me to describe my experiences at Bourbons Bistro. From the moment you walk in, you just know this is going to be a special place. The service is top tier. They make some of my favorite cocktails and their wine selection is great. I have had four different items on their menu and i can't wait for my next visit.“

“I highly recommend this place. Best food we had i. The week we spent in Louisville. The Merle’s Melt was fabulous as were the garlic Parmesan fries and candied maple bacon.“

“Very attentive. And the food was delicious and so flavorful. Lovely retro-southern atmosphere. Definitely a new favorite.“

“Their food is fabulous re-heated. I CAN. NOT. WAIT. to have it fresh from the truck! HIGHLY recommend them.“

“Staff was the rudest I have ever encountered at the Middletown location. I also witnessed extreme rudeness to a door dash driver who had clearly been waiting a while and when they asked about the order having been marked 10 minutes ago as ready they were told "We don't care about YOUR numbers, we have to appear to be on time." He looked like management. I turned and left, I will not do business with someone being rude to staff or anyone providing a service to them any more than rudeness to customers.“

“Very tasty, way Overpriced, Noisy.

Food was good but restaurant was so noisy it was hard to have a conversation. A little over $100 per person for dinner seems excessive then during check out the system prompts for a 30% tip - that's offensive.
-------------
For clarity: My wife and I split one entree, one appetizer, one dessert and one glass of wine for $102 before tip. Thx“

“Wonderful experience every time I eat at Louisville Smokers. The Pit Master Chills attention to detail and Authentic smoke flavored and perfectly seasoned Meats are the best in Louisville KY. I highly recommend this place“

“Every item was delicious and completely fresh. Alot of places don't provide freshly fried chicken or fish. BSC does it so well. All of the sides were fragrant and wonderfully portioned. Great all around meals for the price point as well. I will definitely keep ordering here.“

“We arrived forty-five minutes ahead of our reservation. I went ahead and checked in and informed them that we were going to sit at the bar for drinks. I was told I would receive a call when our table was ready. After our reservation time had passed, I went back to the check in podium and asked about it. I'm not sure how long we would have sat there if I had not brought it to attention. Our bartender, waitress, wait staff help, atmosphere, ambiance and food were all wonderful. Just a little irritated that I had to request a table agin.“

“Stopped in this morning and if you want a biscuit like your South Carolina grandmother made This is Your Place Honestly one of the Best biscuits I’ve had since I was a little boy knee high to my grandma. Excellent food, very friendly and helpful folks Just an Outstanding visit, We Will be Back,“

“Rib tip dinner was great! Had the sweet & spicy chili sauce and came with two sides and a roll. I got greens, baked beans, and added a side of the fried taters and onions. All of it hit the spot with a ginger ale to wash it down. Very nice people inside. Great little neighborhood eatery I recommend.“

The food was amazing. Crispy fries and Juicy chicken and the sweet tea was as described. I was also told the bathroom was clean and smelled nice. I am looking forward to going back with family.“
