    Informal restaurant attached to Bardstown Distillery. Casual type of food: sandwiches, salads, appetizers. Food is chef prepared and outstanding. We had chicken pimento sandwiches. They were different and exquisite. Served with hand cut fries. We were between tours and asked if we could be served and finished within 75 minutes. They said no problem and were so helpful and pleasant. Highly recommend for both food and service!

    We have eaten here several times, and this is the first time I’ve ever sent back food here. We waited 45 minutes to get our food, and when it finally came out, it looked like it had been sitting under heat lamps for most of that time. Everything was very dried out. The waitress was very friendly and did apologize. I hope this is not a trend because we’ve always had excellent food here.

    Service was outstanding and the bourbon selection incredible. My husband enjoyed his first taste of Pappys! The food was delicious and affordable priced; we considered it a great value for the quality. Would highly recommend going whether a bourbon lover or not. Just a great dining experience!

    We visited on a Sunday. The weather was very nice so we ate lunch outdoors on the patio. I had the Southern Eggs Benedict, and the dish was delicious. My wife shared a Salad Nicoise and the serving was plenty for two. The 4th in our group had the pulled pork tacos and she said they were delicious. We would be happy to return for another meal if we find ourselves back in the Bardstown area.

    Nothing spectacular about the food. We were there on a Sunday which apparently is a different menu than during the week. I was very disappointed to learn they do not serve the boozy milkshakes on Sunday but you can order wine, beer and any other liquor they offer. Doesn’t make a lot of sense so if you are going and want a boozy milkshake don’t go on Sunday! The restaurant and bar are both very nice with lots of outdoor seating. Did not take a tour though.

    We loved our server, Cayenne. She was fantastic. Some food we ordered was good (fried chicken sandwich, steak frites and poutine) and some was eh (Nashville chicken sandwich and the Niçoise salad). I would recommend but probably skip those 2 dishes.

    We had a fabulous dinner here last August and enjoyed everything about it; so much so that we made a special trip back down there. I honestly thought we couldn't get dinner reservations due to how popular they had become, so we took a late lunch reservation. lo and behold we come to find out that they only serve brunch on the weekends and they were pushing us to leave. This would explain the limited menu options available and lack of staff. Last year after dinner we enjoyed drinks on the deck and played bags. It was very relaxed and chill. This year by 3 they wanted all the tables cleared and we were told the bar would be closed by 4. They are obviously making their money off bourbon, as a distillery should be, and no longer need the added extras that put them over the top.

    It’s nice that this is attached to the visitors center and an easy way to grab a bite in between tastings. The food was good but wasn’t anything special. I wouldn’t seek out this restaurant had I not been on a bourbon tour.
