We are so glad that we chose Bardstown Bourbon Company Kitchen and Bar for one of our last places to eat on the Bourbon Trail. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We had reservations and were seated promptly and the food and drinks were first class as was the service. I would highly recommend eating and visiting if you are in this area.

Miranda was our server. She was a joy. She was celebrating her one year anniversary working for Bardstown and was so pleased to be a member of the Bardstown family. Her service was excellent. Our food was very good and this is simply a gorgeous restaurant. We sat on the patio and had a really nice quiet delicious lunch.

We’ve been to Bardstown several times prior to this visit. It seems that service and the food quality has diminished in the last year. Our server didn’t really understand the menu. One of our party had food allergies and while we informed the server the food came incorrect. They made the dish over, however, it took 20 minutes to get the food again. In previous visits the food was wonderful and service was amazing. Hoping this time was just a glitch.

I brought my dearest best friend her for birthday, Beth. She loved it! My husband had brought me here for my birthday in November, so I knew I wouldn’t to come back and bring Beth. We each had something different, Beth , fried chicken sandwich, Derek the club and myself the brisket sandwich, we all raved about how much we loved the food. We had a great waitress, who kept us updated in our food abs made sure our drinks were filled. It was a great day to sit outside 🌞

Following our tasting at Bardstown Bourbon Distillery, it was convenient to stay for their farm-to-table restaurant experience. All six of us enjoyed the fine quality of their locally selected ingredients. The steak and frites was prepared perfectly and tasted delicious as well as the Wagyu Bacon Benedictine Burger. Salads were fresh and tasty. We will definitely return.
