This place is such a hidden gem. Tucked away off the beaten path, it has that cozy, "you almost…read moredon't want to tell anyone about it" kind of charm. The space is definitely on the smaller side, which adds to the intimate feel, but I can only imagine it gets pretty tight during peak hours--especially since they don't take reservations. That said, everything else more than makes up for it. The service was genuinely excellent--attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. And the food? Absolutely worth it. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and clearly made with care. If you're thinking about going, I'd definitely recommend timing your visit to avoid the rush. It's a small spot, but one that delivers a big experience.

Very nice if you want to avoid the downtown crowds. My guide suggested the Smoked Old Fashioned and it was the best cocktail I ever had. For food we went with the Cubano Flatbread and Waygu Sliders. Again amazing both uniquely flavored. The bartenders were personable and informative. I'm not sure why the owners don't advertise more. This would be a perfect locale to turn into a highly selective speakeasy.

Amazing dinner that blew our socks off for a special event offering in September. This was a…read morecollaborative 7-course dinner with paired wines with both the Indianapolis' Bluebeard restaurant and 610 Magnolia chefs. Unique flavors and preparations artfully presented with wonderful wine pairings. Each course was phenomenal and had over a dozen diners doing the requisite "ooooh" and "ahhhh". However, if I was forced to commit to the standout items for me, it would be: (1) the delectable pork collar that defied comprehension with how it had a sweet crunchy exterior bark yet maintained a moist and tender bite as we dug in, (2) the soft shell stuffed crab on a bed of just perfect mustard greens with a crunchy texture, (3) dessert that mimicked a cloud and included coffee "gummies" and also was paired with a delicious sherry that held its own. I felt like I needed a cigarette after this meal. I don't smoke. It was That Mind Blowing. These collaboration dinners will be held for at least the next 2 months. Very worthwhile as a fine dining experience beyond compare. Service was excellent. Restaurant decor is lovely. Street parking in surrounding area is available. Looking forward to repeating this experience every possible opportunity when available.

This restaurant was the definition of southern contemporary with Asian fusion…read more The atmosphere of the restaurant was amazing. They were super accommodating and provided me with an individual table for myself with the consideration of food accommodations. The waiters knew how to explain all the food, and they were prompt with answering any questions. If they did not know the answer to the question they went to the kitchen to ask. Each meal had its own personality. They bought the bright and summer floral notes of the southern cuisine while at the same time bringing a home meal through the Korean cuisine as well. Each meal also had a variety of textures that complemented each other, as well as opposite flavors that checked off each taste, bud. I really appreciate the timing of each food item which allowed me to have a clean pallet coming into the next tasting. This was a wonderful experience and I highly encourage everyone to go :)

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

A little "hole in the wall" seafood joint. The food is good and the service was polite, and prices…read morewere reasonable given that it's seafood (which isn't cheap to get fresh in Kentucky). I had the fried shrimp, and they clearly were NOT just frozen shrimp they'd bought somewhere and fried, these seemed homemade. . .definitely NOT typical mass-production shrimp. The food was pretty good. There's two things I would list as downsides, however. The first is that the wait for service was pretty long. It was quite a long wait from when I ordered until I got my food. That's a minor downside, given the quality. I got the picture they might not have a robust back-of-house staff. The second, and bigger downside is. . .I didn't go there expecting a seafood place! The well-worn sign out front still says "Deez Butts" BBQ, and I'd followed signs from the freeway exit thinking I was going to a barbecue joint. When I stepped inside, I pieced together as I was standing in line that the BBQ had closed and this was now a seafood place. It was good food, but I was expecting barbecue and was too hungry to bother hunting for another place to eat. I was left wondering if they couldn't afford to change the (well worn) sign out front. It just seemed a little odd that the sign out front is for a barbecue joint, but it's a seafood place inside.

Overall, I can't recommend this as a "must do" spot for chicken and its sides are a let down. The chicken was crispy on the outer layer and while not dry, not moist either. Maybe it had been sitting for a bit? It did have a kick to it, a bit more than I remember compared to previous orders. Fries are bad. Seasoned? Not so much - but crispy and thicker like being at a school concession stand. The slaw was creamy and watery, so if you're into vinegar style this isn't the option for you. The sides are small and my husband was vocal about the cost after seeing the tiny container. If you visit and dine in, it's a super casual atmosphere with an open floor of tables. Parking is an available in front of and around the restaurant.

We sat at the bar because it was still pretty packed. The place was fun - the service was a bit silly in a good way. Great cocktails. Great ambiance and decor. My bourbon-grilled pork chops were fantastic. Good cornbread. Green beans were fantastic. The fried apples were just okay - a bit on the dry side. My friend's chicken and waffles looked amazing. Another friend's ribeye looked a bit overdone to me, but he seemed to like it. I wish the souvenir store was still open when we were there (it closed at 6pm) because I would have liked to bring home a trinket or shirt. Maybe upon next visit - because I will definitely eat here again the next time I'm in Bardstown. Make it a priority to stop in!

We got here after a day of travel and waited about 30 minutes for a table. Finally got seated around 8 and they closed at 9 (on a Friday). It took a bit for our waitress to get there but we ordered a fried pickle app and drinks. Came back with drinks and we ordered food. It took an hour to get our fried pickles which by that time my children were very hangry. Then took another 20 minutes to get our food. I get being busy but that's what to long to wait with no explanation. Our server did feel bad and gave us some free pie. The food was just alright. The fried chicken was really dry, they were out of the sauce for the waffles/chicken. My boys enjoyed their country fried steak and ribeye though.
