A rare review which will speak to the veggie burger: it is VERY good and I believe it's made in house. The sauce the way it's cooked the fried everything just excellent. Prices are astounding for 2026. My two friends absolutely loved their actual beef burgers. It admittedly smelled amazing in there Speedy service and kind enough cashiers. Environment is what I'd imagine a classic burger shop to look like. Probably hasn't been updated in decades and it's a cool vibe. A must stop if in town! read more

The burger was great! I did a 'build your own'. The onion rings were cooked to perfection. Milk shakes like old fashions ones from the soda fountain drug stores. Highly recommend. Service was fast. Party of six and only waited less than 10 minutes. Building is old classic downtown feel - brick on the walls. Creaky floors. Great atmosphere. Will go back when in town again. read more

We spent a week around and in Bardstown and this burger was BY FAR the highlight of the culinary offerings we experienced while there. We tried several establishment the week we were in Bardstown and NONE of them held a candle to this burger joint. The service was respectful and no nonsense and the ambiance was laid back hard working burger place with hard working people and great food all around. One of the best burgers I've had in a while. Don't bother with the up scale, over salted underwhelming and overpriced high end restaurants that claim to offer high end food offerings. We were disappointed by just about all of them and we tried several in the area that boasted elevated experiences. Solid and good is what this place is. Give them a try! read more

Expectations need to be tempered down when visiting this spot. It's good for what it is, a basic no-frills burger spot for a quick bite to eat. The burger was tasty and full of toppings. I should have gotten a double (I know, I know, also get a double when its a smash burger). The fries were seasoned well but for the price, I was hoping for more. I also got a beer. Selection is limited but I'm sure you'll find something acceptable. There's seating in the front and back, so if its looks busy check the back. The ambiance is basic burger shop, nothing really to note. It's counter service so pretty basic there too. For a quick bite and to get a burger fix, this is a good place to stop. read more

OH YUM! We dropped in for lunch after walking around downtown. We were promptly greeted by the counter staff, who took our order and gave us a number. We both ordered their Bardstown single burger which features grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, bacon, mayo and cheddar cheese. It was freshly made, hot off the fryer, and the onions were grilled and soooo good. The burger was very tasty! The fries were hot and fresh. I had a Strawberry Shake, and that was tasty as well. My wife enjoyed her iced tea. Seating is available in the front, the side, and the back, and some outside seating is available in the back. The bathroom is next to the pop machine in the front. read more

Wow. This is a damn good burger! Just named best burger on that "Best of Kentucky" list in my Nolin RECC "magazine", so my friend wanted to try this place out. I was a little dubious about the whole best burger thing as I've been to a few of the past winners, and they were very disappointing. I don't know if it's the best burger in Kentucky but it's definitely in my top 3 burgers I've ever eaten. It's a small quaint little restaurant, a little dark in the front but lit up in back. There's not much seating, a counter at the front window and 3 booths, and a few small tables in the back so assume most people take out. The staff was friendly and greeted us as we walked in. The menu is small which is fine as the main attraction is the burger and they do it very well. They have a grilled a chicken burger, chicken rings and a veggie burger if beef doesn't interest you, but then what's the point? We both got the Bardstown burger, which has grilled onions, mushrooms, cheddar cheese, mayo and bacon though they forgot the bacon, still the first bite of this burger was sublime. The burger was smaller than your typical gourmet burger but was well seasoned and very juicy. The grill onions, mushrooms, cheddar, mayo just added to that delicious beefiness of the burger. You can make your own burger and they have two other signature burgers. The fries and onion rings were crispy and piping hot, nothing special, just good sidekicks to their super burgers. read more

Bardstown Burger is just the spot to catch your breath and fuel your tank as you are in the middle of sampling the wares of some of the finest bourbons in the world. This was the case when I was moving from one spectacular tour to the other and needed a chance to process the information and explore Bardstown a little bit. First off, their location is outstanding and the building mirrors the charm of the town itself. Growing up in a town about the size of Bardstown, I felt right at home. Having walked quite a bit on the tours, I opted for the double cheeseburger and fries, and my meal arrived quickly and hot. The burgers are amazing - juicy and full of flavor. I sat at one of the window seats, which was a great place to watch the hustle and bustle. read more

Solid little burger joint! Simple offerings well-done. I really enjoyed the fries, onion rings were standard (not bad, just normal-fine). I definitely appreciated that the burgers were more of a smashed style, not thick patties, although my partner got one of the doubles and it was still very filling. read more

Onion rings were great. Burger was good. Half of the Spicy chicken was so tough it couldn't be chewed. Lots of people on a busy night. Fountain soda machine had zero ice. read more

I was just served a HAIR Burger when I ordered their Bardstown burger.... First bit and got several hairs that were cooked into the food that were 10-12 inches long!!! NO ONE around the food wears hairnets!!! When I took it to the counter the person from the back was called up (who I gareentee was the owner of the hair from the burger, so he must be a "manager" or something ), and he was quick to just say, " I will make you a new one"... ZERO apology.... I refused and asked for a refund for mine and my wife's food and we're going somewhere else.... His response," she's not going to eat her's?.... UMMM, No way.... Food looks good but BEWARE! Stay away I would say.... read more

Great stop for lunch instead of the food trucks at KBF. Within walking distance of the park and great burgers.

This wasn't a 5 star experience but was pretty good. The hamburgers were a bit on the small size but tasty. Their definition of medium rare and mine differed, but given the size of the patty, it probably cooked fairly quickly. You pay at time of ordering, and of course, they look for a tip, which did provide, albeit, 10%. The fellow who took our order brought us our meal, but needed to get utensils and napkins. read more

Quick to fulfill the order. The Bardstown burger was a good smash burger with onions and mushrooms. The onion rings were good.

Good prices but the burgers aren't very big and neither are the sides. We were given a suggestion by a local to stop in here for dinner tonight so we tried it out. I ordered the Bardstown Burger and onion rings, it cost about $11. I thought the burger was juicy and delicious and the onion rings were very good! My husband built his own burger and ordered fries with a cup of cheese, the fries and cheese was so good...highly recommend! The restaurant seating looked slim but when you go in there are many more tables in the back and some outside. Also the staff was so fun, they were dancing and laughing it seemed like a great place to work. read more

Service was fine, food came out quickly and was delicious. We ordered 2 double cheeseburgers and the patties were large, juicy, and hot! I would absolutely come back for another burger. Giving it 4/5 stars only because the bathroom was gross. Very dirty and it smelled horrible. read more

Just arrived in town after long flights from San Diego. Yelped some restaurants in Bardstown. Great reviews were not fabricated. Had the Bardstown burger w/fries and it really hit the spot. Thanks everyone for being so helpful. read more

Not sure if it was because I was super hungry or what, but stopped here while on a weekend get away to visit distilleries. The menu was simple, ordering was fast, food cooked to order and brought to the table. Only cons were the limited seating options and place needed a deep cleaning- esp when looking back in the kitchen area. You could see trash piled up on the corner. read more

This is definitely a hidden gem! Kind of a hole in the wall place in the downtown Bourbon capital. You order at the register from a small menu and fountain drinks are available, including unsweet tea and sweet tea. You can eat outside out behind the building in the very cute little dining area or you can eat inside. Service was quick, the burgers were delicious, and it was just the right amount of food. Will definitely be back. read more
