I was told their specialty was their Kentucky Burgoo so of course that's what I had to get. Burgoo is the traditional stew of Kentucky. It's filled with slow cooked shredded beef, potatoes, and veggies. This was the first time I have ever had Burgoo but I'm sure it will not be my last since it was very good and filling. For sure a hearty stew. I also got to try the The Mash House which is their version of a Pimento Cheese Sandwich. They to not skim on the Pimento Cheese either. Now was it the best Pimento Cheese I have ever had? No but was still a tasty sandwich. The Small Batch which is a Beef Brisket sandwich was also good. Quality brisket with some nice fatty pieces mixed in there as well. Good move on them too using sliced fatty brisket because everyone knows that the best way to do it. If anyone says otherwise they are wrong. For sure a great please to grab lunch at the distillery.

We went to The Cliffside Diner because it's billed as The Best Cheeseburger in Frankfort, the diner…read morehas been there since the 40's so it's a local landmark. 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.

Our first visit here started off great. We were warmly greeted and we sat in the main dining room…read more The place has a really great casual vibe and a comfortable feel to it. Our coffees took a bit to show up but all were pleased with what they got. Food came out relatively quickly and Zoey got a scone which she loved, nicely warmed and delish. Teresa got the Brie, lettuce and tomato sandwich and she loved that too. I was less fortunate as my breakfast bowl arrived cold. The potatoes were tasty and the whole bowl presented well, but it was stone cold. When I mentioned this to folks at the desk they said 'thank you.' I took a Star. We ordered some of their bread pudding and a slice of carrot cake to go. The bourbon bread pudding was fabulous and the carrot cake was very good, but clearly had been left out as it was dry, not the moist goodness you'd expect. All said a mediocre first experience so we'll likely give them another try at some point.

We sat outside surrounded by an almost garden atmosphere enjoying impressive cafe food served by an incredibly attentive staff. It made for a great fall Sunday afternoon. The menu features well-made sandwiches, salads, soups, the best veggie burger I've had in a while, and imaginative sides. I was surprised that café had a sophisticated drink menu. We didn't try it, but I'm noting it here so that others who think it is just a little café attached to a nursery will know that wine and mixed drinks are available. I often drive to the Gorge and have been back-and-forth to the University of Kentucky twice within the last month. This is going to become a place I will work into my itinerary.

I absolutely love this distillery! Friendly staff and fantastic bourbon selection at great prices…read more They do a Daily Drop of hard to find bourbons which is why people start lining up early in morning. They open at 9am and offer free tours as long as you reserve online. The gift shop is huge and some of the bourbons are limited to one or two per person. 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.
