17 Best American Restaurants in Bardstown

Bardstown Bourbon Company Distilleries • $$
1500 Parkway Dr, Bardstown

“My only regret is that we didn't time our visit so we could have eaten in the restaurant. There will be a next time, I'm sure! We did the Barrel Thieving tour and it was fabulous. If you're traveling the Kentucky Bourbon Trail, the distillery tours can get pretty redundant, so this was just different enough to keep our interest. Macy, our tour guide, was terrific. She was great at encouraging just the right amount of levity while still keeping things moving along. Everyone we encountered was great, from front desk to gift shop to bar, we were made to feel welcome. We arrived for the last tour of the day and so we were there around closing time, and we never felt rushed. Well done, Bardstown!“

“I was a bit skeptical of all the great reviews of the egg salad sandwich. I love the egg salad sandwich at the Masters Golf tournament every year but the one at Willett blows the Augusta National Sandwich away. The Whiskey Sour was awesome!! I highly recommend lunch here.“

“We had a great time! Both the food and the service were great! The Murder Mystery actors were very entertaining. My only recommendation would be to bring a jacket. My husband and I were sitting mid-car, and the air conditioning was blowing right over us, and it got pretty cold. The tables seat four, so we sat with another couple whom we didn't know, but they were kind people, and we all had a nice conversation. My husband and I actually solved the murder mystery, and we won some cute stuff from the gift shop.Overall, it was a wonderful date night!“

“New Favorite. This place is legit. Food is incredible. The spicy meatball app, burger, and chocolate ganache are all first class. Fantastic Old Fashioned. Met the owners and their prized (award winning) bartender, all contributed to a great evening. Tasted a restaurant Knob Creek bottle pick and somehow it was one of the best KC's I've had. This place hit all the marks. I wish I was local. Look forward to coming back.“

“Really friendly service and the inside the place is fun to check out. The steak tips could've had some more flavor to them but the onions and peppers with the meat helped out. The chicken fried chicken had an excellent coating that was delicious but the chicken probably should've been pounded before coating it because it wasn't really that tender. The mashed potatoes were good. House salad was adequate but should have had more than one small onion sliver on it. They do provide a military discount which is much appreciated. I'll eat here again if I'm in the area.“

We enjoyed an excellent dinner while in town for a football game.The food and service were both exceptional and our experience was made even better when we realized later that night I’d forgot my credit card and the owner gave us his cell number to call if they were closed when we returned to pick it up.The hospitality of this entire town has always been impressive, from the students and fans at sporting events, to the local business owners who always make you feel welcomed.“

Service has always been good but this last time we had exceptional service by Jonathan and truly made our dining experience extra great! Enjoyed the KY Hot Brown and the Reuben on the menu. If you can get a chance to stay the night here it’s a must. This is a great stop when visiting or if your on then bourbon trail be sure to stop by.“

“Went out with some great friends. First time at BJ's was a friendly place with plenty of atmosphere. Was there with someone who has lost their sight and the parking lot had several breaks that could easily have tripped him if we hadn't been paying extra attention. I have mobility problems myself and stumpled acouple of times myself.Parking: The only thing about handicap parking nowadays is that every one has handicap parking. I'm not saying anyone doesn't deserve their placards/license plates but I also know people who have family that were given those for legitimate reasons and the family members drive their vehicles to get this privilege. My brother is in a wheelchair, but when I use his vehicle and he is not with me I DON'T PARK in handicapped parking. I have also seen people park in the stripe zone next to his van which is for his ramp to come out and down so he can get OUT of the van. Luckily when lazy idiots have done this to him he has had a family member or friend with him to back the van out so we can have room for the ramp he needs.“
