The food was excellent and well presented. The overall time there did not justify the cost. Service was slow. Bar drinks were 45 minutes in coming and a loud noise level. The wait staff was trying to accommodate guests on an overbooked evening and did not make for a relaxing evening. Our waiter with his ball cap, t-shirt and saggy pants did not represent a fine dining restaurant.

This restaurant is excellent indeed. It is small, casual and the menu is small and just about perfect. Service is prompt, pleasant and professional. Most importantly, the food is outstanding. The fried chicken may be the best anywhere. My spouse ordered the hamburger and said it was the best in the world. Huge, double patties, seasoned and prepared with perfection and served with fresh potato wedges.

We will definitely eat here again. The food was delicious. Staff was attentive and friendly. As good as our dinner was, the cocktails were even better. I had the Steady Hand and she had the Bee's Knees. I think you will be glad you made that reservation

Amy was our server and one of the best Sieger ever had! She makes your experience. I tried to hire her but she’s was too loyal for her own good. The food was phenomenal- especially the meatballs and burrata salad! The chicken spaetzle and salmon were also very good

Wow! Great dining experience! The food was outstanding, everything was absolutely perfect. All of the dishes were unique and a flavor explosion! What really made our evening was our server Miranda. Honestly she made the whole evening fun and enjoyable. What a pleasure to meet someone like her. We were celebrating my boyfriends 70th birthday and she made it a memorable night! Thank you for everything! Highly recommend!!!

First of all, any negativity in this review is purely based on service and should not reflect at all on the food. All of the food and drinks were absolutely fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone based on the food alone. Our issue was with the service. After ordering and waiting almost an hour, we were told our order was lost and our server took the order again and told us it would be rushed and discounted for the inconvenience. Almost another hour later, the food finally arrived (a few minutes before closing and after we were given some olives as an appeasement). We were offered and received some dessert for the table, which was appreciated, but not commensurate of the extra money we spent on drinks while waiting for our food to arrive (maybe that was by design…?). Again, the food was fantastic, but difficult to enjoy in the few minutes we had to devour it after almost two and a half hours and feeling starved. There were multiple times throughout the evening that we considered leaving and going to Taco Bell…it was that frustrating. The lack of communication and empathy were telling. We chose Toogie’s based on multiple glowing reviews, but unfortunately can’t offer the same level of praise.

We eat at Toogie's all the time. We've probably been 20+ times in the past year. We have a almost four year old, and he's amazing at dining out, loves the kid's noodles, but although we didn't realize it, he has an ear infection and was so upset throughout our dinner last night. Crying, essentially what seemed like a tantrum through the whole meal. We had never seen him act like this and we're caught off guard to say the least, but our server and the kitchen staff checked in and were so kind and gracious despite him being upset. Not the pre-birthday meal I had hoped for at all, but still thankful for their understanding and kindness. 10/10 recommend.

Party of 4 - each of us ordered a different item from the menu so we could taste from four menu offerings. Meatballs and rice were the overall fave. Pork chop was very moist and tender. Fried chicken had the perfect blend of spice to flavor and was extra crispy. A tasty burger and flavorful wedges would be a perfect choice for someone hesitant to try unfamiliar flavors.

It was just ok so we were a little disappointed. Maybe an off night in the kitchen. Inconsistent cook on pork chop. One side tough, one side under. Fried chicken wasnt juicy and the accompanied side (French pasty) was burnt. Always willing to try a place twice but if u are in bardstown for only one dinner I would try somewhere else. Seemed they were trying to be too fancy for their abilities. Mammys Kitchen may not be fancy but the breakfat was excellent, wish we had tried their dinners...

We had a great evening with some friends. Our service was excellent. Good drink choices. Decent value for the money. The food is very exotic and very different than anything else you’ll find in Bardstown Kentucky. I had the salmon and it was excellent cooked perfect with a crispy skin. My husband had the tavern, burger and fries and he said it was good. We are not people who tend to step out of our comfort zone of favorite foods very often and so this was a very nice refreshing experience. If you are a foodie know this is a perfect place for you!!

Wonderful food and excellent staff made for a great evening out for our group of 5, in town to celebrate a birthday with a Bourbon Trail weekend. The temps were unreasonably hot the night we were there, so the front dining room was a little on the warm side, but all the staff was friendly, apologetic and so accommodating that we barely noticed. The reviews for this one were spot on - wonderful food and a great atmosphere. Recommend: YES!
