The Rackhouse Tavern, located in the Campbell House Hotel, features a diverse menu with popular dishes like Ky beer cheese, a fresh baked corn bread skillet, a Ky Hot Brown, and Burgoo Stew. The atmosphere remains charming and inviting, with lovely furnishings and decor that enhance the dining experience. While finding the hostess stand can be tricky, the service is consistently excellent, with helpful staff who are friendly and attentive. The bartenders are knowledgeable about various Bourbons, adding to the overall enjoyment. The food is generally delicious and fresh, served in nice-sized portions, including house-made potato chips and French fries that are especially tasty. Though the lunch menu is limited, it offers satisfying salads and sandwiches, such as the French dip with juicy beef and grilled onions on a soft sub roll, all at reasonable prices around $9-$14. However, some recent reviews mention that the food quality can vary; while many guests find the service and ambiance great, there have been reports of dishes like lamb being tough and cornbread being crumbly. Additionally, the restaurant can get loud, especially when live music is playing, making it difficult for some guests to converse. Despite these issues, many guests still enjoy their visits and find the staff attentive and welcoming, making for an enjoyable dining experience.
