    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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.
