My wife and I were pretty excited about a new experience and a fun lunch. The place was disappointing to say the least. The servers weren't really friendly or outgoing. The value was severely lacking- a reported 5 ounce burger (looked small) and literally about 10 crinkle cut fries, a 12 ounce drink served in styrofoam and a vanilla malt to go costs us about $50. I tried to say thank you to the server on my way out but she was busy having a loud conversation with another employee and didn't notice me. There is outdoor seating on picnic tables. The menu has a variety of sandwiches like cod fish and a fried bologna plate. But most of the menu was different burgers with cute names. The web said they served breakfast all day, there was no breakfast menu on the table and we didn't ask. All in all I'm glad I went to satisfy my curiosity but I would not seriously recommend this place to people visiting Frankfort. You would get a better deal and probably service at Hardee's.

She said normal for bar area. As I sat down I just could not see my self eating here with that smell. So I quietly left. I never thought I was sensitive to smell but it was bad. Good luck!

This experience reminded of dining with my grandmother as a young girl at a popular small-town diner in my hometown. I seriously think the floor tile might have been the exact same!

My salad (chicken, bacon, avocado, and more!) was fresh and delicious, and the portion very generous. My drink was continually refreshed without my asking and the server checked in without being overbearing. I highly recommend this diner if you find yourself in the Frankfort area!

Since many of the bourbons are not available in my area,this is a must stop when in the Louisville area.

If I could summarize my experience in one word, it would be Disappointed…read more The Buffalo Trace tour and tasting was at the top of my Bourbon Trail list. My family had visited in 2017 and 2023 and raved about it, so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, after visiting five distilleries during our trip, this was one of my least favorite experiences. To start with the positives: the tours are free, which is generous, and the drinks at the bar are reasonably priced. Our guide, Tony, was knowledgeable and friendly when answering questions. However, the tour itself felt underwhelming and lacked depth. We never went inside the actual production areas, learned much about the grains or bourbon-making process, or experienced the sights and aromas I expected from a distillery tour. Even my spouse, felt the tour was somewhat scattered and lacking in detail. The tasting was even more disappointing. The tasting room was simply a room where everyone stood, and there was very little that felt special or memorable. We were given vodka samples, which felt out of place on a Bourbon Trail tour, and the bourbon selections themselves didn't feel particularly unique. Water wasn't provided at the tasting stations either; we had to walk over to a dispenser and use tiny paper cups. Most surprising of all, the tastings were served in clear plastic cups. After each pour, our guide mentioned how much the bottle cost in the gift shop, which made the presentation feel even more underwhelming. We were even told we could take the plastic tasting cups home as souvenirs. I understand that the tour is free, but Buffalo Trace is a major distillery with a huge reputation, so I expected a more polished and immersive experience. Between the lack of access to the production areas, standing throughout the tasting, limited variety, lack of readily available water, and plastic tasting cups, the overall experience felt much cheaper than I anticipated. The lemonade from the outdoor bar was actually very good and reasonably priced, so that was a bright spot. Unfortunately, overall, Buffalo Trace was one of my least favorite distillery tours and tastings of the trip.

We had amazing cocktails. Get the Limewater. It may very well be the best gin cocktail I have ever had. We enjoyed the shrimp and grits and Greek meatballs for our appetizers.

Like most other people we had toured Buffalo Trace Distillery and were looking for a place to eat. As usual we'd like to try things that are a little out of the way and not a restaurant chain. This place sounded perfect. So we drove out of the way - up and down and around curves and finally got to the dock. It looks rundown, but we still thought we would give it a try because looks can be deceiving. Our server was a very nice lady and the prices on the menu were excellent. There were four of us and we all decided to get the fish meal. Some got french fries - some got onion rings with their fish. Since we were right on the water, we figured that our catfish would be fresh. We were wrong! From our seat, we could see them get frozen french fries out of the freezer and put them in the fryer. Then they reached into the freezer and grabbed four pieces of Frozen fish planks and put them in the fryer. Our hopes are fading fast at this point! They do not serve coleslaw - maybe because it doesn't come frozen. The food just was not good at all! ****Our goal in life is not to put someone out of business by leaving a mean review!! But this is an honest review and we want to give people a heads up before they drive out of their way to go here.***** The only thing we can think of is, maybe they are still open because they make their money at night with the karaoke crowd drinking alcohol? I don't know, but it's definitely not because of their food. We won't be back and we do NOT recommend this restaurant
