Restaurants in Bardstown

“This is our go to bar/lounge whenever we visit the area. They know their stuff, have a great selection, and have a great bar. I cannot recommend them enough, if you are in the area, visit them. You won't be disappointed.”

“I bought this for my husband as an anniversary gift. We went on the Bourbon Excursion and had a fabulous time. Our guide for the evening, Josh, was very knowledgeable about the bourbon industry and pointed out tons of bourbon locations along the way. We also did a bourbon tasting with every course, which was really fun; and were thrilled to get to see Knob Creek with our own eyes. The food was delicious, especially the prime rib, which took up almost the whole plate and I loved the lemon berry cake. Whit was our server and took care of our every need! I can’t say enough positive things about our experience. We definitely will be coming back.”

“Willett was our absolute favorite tour that we went on during our trip to Bardstown. Our guide was so personable and knowledgeable, and I especially loved that they space out the tastings rather than doing them all at once. This really helped prevent flavor fatigue and kept the tour engaging. Booking a reservation at the bar is an absolute must. The egg salad sandwich was phenomenal, and my husband said the pan con tomate was the best he's ever had. Highly recommend ordering and Artichoke Hold at the bar as well.”

“By far the best burger I’ve had in my life! Everything was hot, fresh, and seasoned to perfection. The host and hostess were both courteous, and helpful. Definitely going to return. Again, and again and again, the best burger ever”

“I love Marcella’s! My daughter (Karla Gaddie) usually orders and picks up the orders. I love that they are in Bardstown”

“My husband and I visited Bardstown for the first time and stumbled upon Liam Ash, and we are so glad we did! It’s an absolute gem all the way around… Amazing cocktails, beautiful aesthetics, and an extremely knowledgeable, certified bourbon expert bartender named Nicki that not only knew the bourbons, but all the great history behind each one. We loved our experience so much that we went two nights in a row! Please be sure to visit them when you’re in Bardstown!”

“First time in this town. I parked right in front of the enterance. Sat down at the counter. Ordered the special of the day, roast beef. Enjoyed the buttery green beans. Loved the antique chandler. The twins running the place were on top of everything. Great service. It was difficult to not get a slice of pie that was staring at me on the counter. They had several flavors and making the choice was the problem.”

Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. I’ll definitely be coming back!”

“I tried this place before but my first time at this particular location. I did not like this place the last time I tried it which had been a couple of years ago. I thought i would give it a second chance . Glad I did the wings was great had the atomic with ghost pepper ranch. It was absolutely awesome. Had the sampler for app the onion rings was good pickles was ok and the mozzarella sticks was ok. The girl that served us was not the best In The world. She was friendly. But a little slow on the drinks and was kinda short on A couple of questions we asked. But she was very nice. The visit was good. I would definitely go back.”

“Good food. Great staff. Prices are ok.”

“The Old Talbott Tavern is the world's oldest Bourbon Bar & apparently has recieved numerous accolades & awards over many years & with it being built in the late 1700's it has had many notable guests such as Daniel Boone, Abraham Lincoln, Jesse James & others so that in itself is worth a stop for any history buff.

Once we entered we absolutely loved the old time charm with the really thick stone walls & heavy timber ceilings yet cozy at the same time.

We ended up ordering the Shrimp & Grits as well as the Pulled Pork Platter. Everything was served in short order & was excellent.

The service was good & the prices were fair. My only complaint about the restaurant was that it was an overly loud atmosphere which made it a little difficult to hear the servers & your dinner mate but I guess they can't do much about that.

Overall it was a fantastic experience & we will most certainly return next time we find ourselves in beautiful Bardstown Kentucky.”

“A hidden treasure in Bardstown! Amazing dining experience. Our waiter Jeremiah delivered a superb dining experience. Everything was delicious, from the salad to side dishes, steak you can cut with a butter knife! A must to eat at when in the area. All staff is very friendly and attentive!”

“Receiving departments all the way around the back of the building. Go all the way around when you see two doors walk down. It's on the side of the building, At the receiving door ring the bell! do not go to end of driveway!”

“Fast and super friendly staff during the festival and being so busy. Best pizza we've ever had! We will definitely be coming back and recommending this wonderful little cafe to all that we know. 5 stars from us!! 🌟 🤩”

“Stopped by this place for lunch and ended up being really impressed. The food tasted fresh, homemade, and honestly way better than I expected for a small local café. Staff were super friendly and patient while explaining a few menu items, which made the experience feel welcoming right away. I grabbed a sandwich and a coffee, and both were really good and reasonably priced. The atmosphere was quiet, clean, and relaxing — perfect if you want something quick without dealing with a crowded chain restaurant. You can tell they actually care about quality here. Definitely a hidden gem in Bardstown and I’ll absolutely come back next time I’m nearby.”

“Just left there…….with our to go food. I went inside and looked at the place, very clean even at the condiments table and drink dispenser. Very pleased with that, and our food was good. The young girl was very pleasant and neat in appearance 👍 I will go back.”

“What an amazing place to stay! The house is gorgeous. The rooms are beautiful and clean. The employees are amazing and friendly. The breakfast was gourmet quality. They even have a quaint bar on the property where you can get an evening cocktail and relax. We felt very welcome and comfortable. The owner even offered to take a pic of my husband and me as we were dressed up and headed to the lunch train down the road. All in all this was a pleasant experience. We hope to travel out that way again and spend a few nights. This place is a class act!”

“Muy buena comida! Yo diría que exajeraron en mi plato. Mucha comida!😂🤣”
