    Expectations need to be tempered down when visiting this spot. It's good for what it is, a basic no-frills burger spot for a quick bite to eat. The burger was tasty and full of toppings. 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.

    Sauce and other needed for things station.

    The burger had here was fantastic. Cooked perfectly. I got to choose my veggies and sauces. For only $7. It was the best burger I have had in a while. The customer service was wonderful.

    OH YUM! We dropped in for lunch after walking around downtown. We were promptly greeted by the counter staff, who took our order and gave us a number. We both ordered their Bardstown single burger which features grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, bacon, mayo and cheddar cheese. It was freshly made, hot off the fryer, and the onions were grilled and soooo good. The burger was very tasty! The fries were hot and fresh. I had a Strawberry Shake, and that was tasty as well. My wife enjoyed her iced tea. Seating is available in the front, the side, and the back, and some outside seating is available in the back. The bathroom is next to the pop machine in the front.

    Best burger I've had in Kentucky. The Bardstown burger with grilled mushrooms, onions and cheddar.

    Wow. This is a damn good burger! Just named best burger on that "Best of Kentucky" list in my Nolin RECC "magazine", so my friend wanted to try this place out. 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.

    Bardstown Burger Co makes one incredible burger! The family and I were very happy we stumbled into this spot!

    What a wonderful place to have a great burger and some of the best onion rings I've had in a long time. Service was excellent and friendly. The overall experience exceptional. Well done!

    Onion rings were great. Burger was good. Half of the Spicy chicken was so tough it couldn't be chewed. Lots of people on a busy night. Fountain soda machine had zero ice.

    My husband and I had the Outlaw burger, a double. It was delicious!! I could have eaten a triple!! The service was great and we got our food within just a few minutes!! Will definitely be back!!

    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!

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.

We came in with a larger group due to our bourbon tour and they were kind and accommodating. They had some specials for the summer and they left us the menu now as a vegetarian my options were a bit limited, but they had a few items on the appetizer list that were quite appealing. I also got an aperol spritz to celebrate end of summer, which was excellent. For my meal, I actually got the pretzel which came with their queso as well as their house mustard. Now I get the pretzel often depending on the location and I was so impressed with how tasty it was and how great the mustard was. I say that because a lot of places do not have tasty mustard when it comes to their pretzels. Queso was also very flavorful. The staff was very attentive for our large group and we had an excellent time. I can't wait to go back to this location when I'm not with a tour so we can explore it a bit more definitely worth a check out when you're in Bardstown, Kentucky.

Well I'm glad we stopped here. I love it! My jalapeño burger is perfectly spicy. The chili cheese fries are great.

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.
