Seating inside for eating is very limited so I'd plan on eating outside or take your food back home, hotel or Airbnb. We ordered the three meat sampler. Brisket(sliced like lunch meat no less? Never seen that at a bbq joint), pulled pork and some ribs. Since it seems the slice the brisket it was way too dry and chewy, not much flavor rather. The ribs were a bit burnt but the meat that I scavenged off of the rib was flavorful. Sides were our usual; cheesy potatoes and bbq beans. They were both okay but I'll try something else if we go back). The pulled pork was the star of this meal. It was incredibly flavorful and juicy. Would I go back? Probably not for the brisket or ribs but for sure for the pulled pork. I do love supporting local families so that felt good.

Excellent burgers made from scratch. It has been in business since 1934, so it must be doing it right. This place is regularly voted the best burger in the Bluegrass State and lives up to the hype. A perfect slice of Americana, walking into this place feels like going back in time. I had the Double Hamburger, and my wife had the Double Cheeseburger. We also had French Fries and Onion Rings.

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.

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.

No - my chicken tender sandwich was a bit dry and the side salad had tomatoes that looked like they went through a microwave before they were put on the plate.
