    Kentucky  Cheesesteak

    I gave it another try. The burger was good. The service and wait time still left a lot to be desired. Not much thought was given to seating. It is a very small place and I was sat at a table for two that was in a high traffic area. My friend and I talk with our hands and we probably hit at least two people walking by and had to lean towards the wall when wait staff walked by with food. I had to ask for more to drink o stead of it being offered. They are trying to be like Ford's Garage in Lexington. It's got a vibe but staff has no personality and the wait time on food is way too long.

    Menu.

    The food here was super. I had the appetizer Monterey Cristo and it was perfect. I usually get one whenever I can find it and this one beat them all. Service was very good even though they were super busy.

    Service was great and the food was good. Pretzel is a must for a starter. Wings were good but the fries were great.

    Mammy's was the best meal I had in my 4 day visit to the area! We came pretty late at night after a…read morelong day of bourbon tasting in the area, and we were all starving. 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!

    I really wanted to love this place so much. The decor and atmosphere are a lot of fun. Our waitress…read morewas really food. I forget her name but she was very nice and friendly. 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.

    Fast, friendly, clean and delicious. What a great stop!…read more We drove in town for the holidays and got in a bit late so we are just tired and wanted something fast. Well I'm glad we stopped here. I love it! My jalapeño burger is perfectly spicy. The chili cheese fries are great. My daughter is usually picky about chicken tenders but she likes them and of course she loves her dirt and worms cup. The girls at the front were very friendly and the food came out fast. The tables were all clean. I have no complaints. Definitely will be a go to stop when we come into town again.

    I do not eat fast food. I'm a clean eater, but I'm also not a psycho. I knew of this place that…read moreopened in May, but had never heard of the brand or had any intentions of going. On the way back from Louisville my 15 year old son wanted to eat hear based on what he heard about it. I figured it wouldn't hurt me to try it either. The food was really good! I got #1 combo-double meat burger with cheese lettuce onion pickle. I loved how they did the pickle slices. I liked how thin the burgers were. I don't typically eat fries either, but these shoestring style were good. My son got a bacon cheeseburger and he loved his as well. For desert I tried a chocolate milk shake and my son had a brownie concrete. I have never had such a chocolate experience. After trying one of their shakes I don't know how anyone could have one from McDonald's. Now, it will probably be months before I come here again or I may never, just because I don't regularly consume this type of fare, but it gets a 10/10 for me and for sure would eat this before McDonald's or Burger King or any other fast food! The service was relatively quick around 12:30pm on Wednesday. The drive thru line was long so we went in and there wasn't a wait. We had to wait a little bit for our ice cream but I understand that is due to how they make it. The staff was friendly and I liked the interior. I noticed an electric outlet at each booth and they had custard in a freezer to go. They have outdoor seating which looked nice too.
