Having a top notch restaurant located on distillery grounds greatly enhances the experience of visiting the facility. Great selection of food items that worked for individuals in our party that had allergies or were not eating meat. It was cool and rainy so wasn't able to see how the ambiance would be with the outside tables. We can imagine it would be an enjoyable setting amongst the distillery buildings.

Best food on the Bourbon Trail! Great hamburger and as the server said, “the best fried chicken sandwich around”. Our server Will was exceptional, he provided great recommendations beyond the menu. He even checked on us after our bourbon tour. Will definitely be back!

Service was phenomenal. Our server was Will and he is amazing. The food was delightful and the whole atmosphere was laid back and classy for a casual dining experience. Highly recommend getting some cocktails to-go as well.

We have never had a bad meal at this location. The food choices are fresh and creative in presentation. You can have your pick of bourbon and cocktails (obviously!) and they have a good wine selection for those who don't do bourbon.

This was our group's first time to dine at Bardstown Bourbon Co. The food was excellent, and the service was excellent . I wish the acoustics were a bit better, it would be nice if the room were not so loud.

The food, drinks, and service were excellent. If you're looking for a great place to stop for lunch while you're on the Bourbon Trail, this would be a good choice. Classy, but not overly expensive.

Our server was very attentive and so polite. Pork rinds were still warm and so good. My chicken and grits were delicious! I would get the grits alone if I could; course and creamy. Appreciate that they have gluten free options. My husband was able to get a GF bun for his burger which he really enjoyed along with his fries. Overall great experience to complete our visit after our tour.

Our family's first dining experience at Bardstown Bourbon was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious! Grilled chicken, filet mignon, hamburger, salmon, fresh lemonade...all amazing. Our server, Will, was attentive and added to the fun of the experience. We will definitely be back. ❤
What a fantastic experience! A meal here is the perfect way to cap off a tour. The menu is well-balanced, the cocktails are delicious (and feature the excellent Bardstown bourbon) and food was superb. Our server Will was delightful and added so much to our visit. Definitely 5 stars!

The food and service was phenomenal! Our server was kind, quick-witted and super fun. Also, the fried chicken sandwich was a BIG hit with our group. We really enjoyed eating here before our Rickhouse Barrel thieving tasting.
Exceptional service, food, & cocktails. Great selection of bourbon tastings. Server was knowledgeable, helpful, & very accommodating. I could not recommend this place enough.

Our experience at Bardstown Bourbon Company Kitchen and Bar fell below my expectations. The dining experience following the amazing tour began well with superb ambience and pleasant greetings from our host. The waiter we had unfortunately seemed to be maybe slightly socially inept and didn't make me feel very welcomed. I know it's the slow season for them but I almost felt rushed and unwanted. Little eye contact, not clearing plates, sitting behind the bar on their phone for the majority of our time there. As for the food.. I was also a little disappointed! There were previous reviews about how amazing the charcuterie board was so we decided to try it out. All of the bread was terribly dry and lacked any flavor. The cheeses and hams were yummy. My favorite bit on the board were the pickles. The sweet potato gnocchi blew everything else out of the water. I recommend that if you go! Our entrees came next and I was heavily disappointed in the salmon. The skin had been burned and the sauce was too sickly sweet. It made the risotto too sweet and kind of ruined the whole thing for me. My boyfriend got the chicken and grits. That was a good deal better. Just some thoughts ??♀️
A great thing to do for those that want to show their friends a true Kentucky food adventure. The Old fashion was excellent. You have to try the charcuterie board for some yummy tastes. The Hot Brown was good but not my favorite. (You have to actually go to The Brown Hotel for the best). The chicken and grits plate was outstanding and the bread pudding delicious. Want to go back and try the burger cause it looked amazing!

Great place to taste many different bourbons, not just BBC brands. Great food, Great atmosphere, Great staff. We loved it and found several bottles to take home in the gift shop. Be sure to ask to see the Bourbon Library....so cool!

Always feel at home here, greeted friendly at door and service on point. Gingerbread Mule cocktail was a hit before lunch and our entrées were served timely and tasty. Not to forget the boozy milkshake, too thick to drink with a straw so ask for a long spoon or just turn it up! Merry Christmas
