This little restaurant has so much good food, we came back twice! And they are open later, when the towns asleep. The roasted chicken panini and a Michigan dog is what I tried, and they were not only delicious but came with really tasty trimmings. They've got all drinks you can taste as well, local brew and bourbon, and wine. The owner is a real nice and courteous guy too!

Our experience here and review its on the desserts ONLY-We stopped by for a late dessert after dinner and we were happy we did! Both desserts were fresh and delicious. We also ordered 2 cups of coffee -these weren't the best. It wouldn't hurt to invest in machine to make a better coffee. (Maybe a Keurig machine and have available flavor coffee) We hope next time we get to try their food and drinks! It's nice to have a place that closes late in downtown Bardstown. Service was promptly.

Terumisu and a sample of the limoncello!

Loved this place!! Staff was so kind and friendly! Couldn't decide on which burger to try so the BF and I split 2 different ones and both were incredible! Again had trouble deciding on which dessert, went with the tiramisu, but they still gave us a small piece of the other cake we were deciding between! We left so full of good food wow

If you're visiting town, or a resident, you have GOT to try this place! Have been several times and everything has been amazing! Food is made fresh when you order it. Some of my favorites so far are the BBQ nachos, and the smokehouse burger! Portion sizes are perfect! Perfect stop for tourists, and a quick bite to eat all hours of the day and late night

Man, dis place da bomb pop, son! First off, they had some fine ass white girl behind the counter…read morenamed Kate that makes you want to spread the mayo on my grilled cheese (They call it a smackdown, but apparently white people have a different definition of that than everybody else). I know what you is thinking. Black people don't like mayo, but that's racist. You should feel bad about being you with thoughts like that in your noggin. Also, I saw some crazy white dude eat like a 10 pound hamburger with all kinds of fired stuff on it in about 10 minutes. They gave him a free T shirt yo! FREE T SHIRTS. CRAZY. This place is like the mofo Woodstock of southern hospitality is what dat is. Then this Noah dude started J-A-M-M-I-N-G on his guitar and didn't play Wagon Wheel. That's worth a five star review right there. I don't even care if it's a black dude's song. Wagon Wheel sucks. And the people here know it. Don't nobody want their mama to rock them. That's incest. Gross, homie. Then I hustled some bald headed dude named Chris out of $15 playing pool. He paid me in quarters, but he was a cool dude, except he kept tryin to show me mediocre boobs on his camera phone. I was like, come on, man. Then he bought me a beer because everybody offers to buy everybody a round in here. It's like Cheers only without Sam Sheppard talking all the time bout how he used to be able to throw a curveball. Nobody cares bout what you did when the real men were away during World War 2, old timer. Get off it and get onto the new hotness that is the B.T. Also, the bathrooms were 100% rat free so far as I could tell. No droppings, no hair, no pink cordlike tails like on 1 of every 50 chicken McNuggets. These white people clean like a 64 pala on dubs. And the best part of all, NO FRIGGIN HIPSTERS RUINING EVERYTHING WITH THEIR TIGHT PANTS, HAIRY UPPER LIPS, AND GLUTEN FREE DIETS. BE A MAN, SON, YOU KNOW HAD TO ROLL THEM JEANS ON AND THEN YOU TIGHT ROLLED THEM OVER THE TOP O YO SOCKS! THUMBS DOWN, HIPSTERS. Now I'm off to chin check anybody who doubts me. Holla.

We ordered appetizers which were actually very good! The hot artichoke dip--fantastic! And I have had many over the years. We ordered the bruschetta. I never thought someone could improve upon such a normally simple dish, but they did! It was simply delightful! The bread slightly sweet and lightly garlicky, ripe firm tomatoes and a drizzle of syrupy, balsamic vinegar. I should have made that my meal! Now our entrees were unimpressive and our prelude really had us psyched for something amazing. I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli. Not sure how "wild" cremini mushrooms were but I took two bites and I was done. I forgot what my husband had, but he did the same--two bites and done! We are willing to give it another go, simply because we were teased by the appetizers. Come on Rickhouse! Get yer sh-t together!

I was in Bardstown today for my "first day" of my second stint at a local company I used to work…read morefor from 2008-2014. The town has changed much since I was last here, lots of growth and options. I used to stay at the Hampton Inn when it was still here (now a "Spark" by Hilton. I'm at the Holiday Inn Express and they recommended having lunch here since there's a 10% discount for hotel guests. I've eaten here before but new ownership and food offerings have been updated- including an Indian menu! Lala greeted me when I arrived, I'm the only in person diner but I chose a bacon cheeseburger with no onion, and Swiss cheese. I chose the side of tater tots. I asked to see the menu for the Indian offerings and it looks like they have a smaller offering; but something for everyone. I'm mowing down my food as I write this review. The tater tots are superbly seasoned and cooked. Crispy and stayed that way the entire time I was eating. I lived in Chicago for 20 years, and Red Gold ketchup and salsa were some of my favorites. The burger was cooked perfectly, the bacon crispy, Swiss cheese melted nicely and the bun toasted along with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles (no onion since I'm going right to work ) for that perfect lunch. I hope that people keep supporting this business. I'm sure the pizza is still great but next time I may come back and try some of the Indian offerings for a different path when I'm back in town. Support Lala, Kajal, and this small owned business!

I'm giving it a 2 because the waitress was friendly. And because my son liked his appetizer. And…read morebecause they have Coca-cola products. Other than that, I was so disappointed in this place. Walking in, we were greeted by the overwhelming smell of some kind of cleaning solution or pungent air freshener. It took awhile to acclimate to that. To the point I wondered if my food would taste like it. They have pizza, some basic Italian food and a whole separate menu of Indian food. My son loves Indian food, so I compromised and went there. He got an appetizer of Samosas which he really enjoyed. I don't like Indian food, so I personally cannot give an account, but he loved it. I got potato skins. They were fine, but nothing worthy of note. Husband got spaghetti and meatballs. It said spaghetti AND meatballs on the menu. But they charged extra for the meatballs. $13 for a mediocre portion of spaghetti and sauce, and then an additional charge for the meatballs that were supposed to be part of the meal as on the menu. And they were not good meatballs. Probably something from a vendor like GFS, and then boiled. They were very...gray. And bland. Olive Garden is not the bastion of Italian food, but they charge about the same price and it's good. And they include breadsticks and soup/salad. I'm not a chain restaurant kind of person, but this place makes me want I got a pizza with extra cheese. Good thing I did or it would have no cheese. If you get green peppers, they will be diced into very large pieces and put on top. Almost like having fresh peppers put on top of a cooked pizza. The crust is good and has a good chew to it, but it is "flimsy" like a NY style pizza and it cannot support the weight of the toppings. Son surprised me and also got pizza. While he loved the samosas, he likened his pizza to a glorified Tombstone pizza. For $20+, that's kinda sad. $80+ for food that was underwhelming at best, is a pricey little lesson learned. I'm not going back, but if you like Indian food, this will probably be a great place for you.
