    On a Sunday afternoon we road tripped to Bloomfield from Louisville (45 minute trip, mostly counrty back roads but 55 mph) for antiqueing at Nettie Jarvis's, (separate review) a Sunday drive, late lunch at Ernies and to see John Deer tractors, (Stonehenge) . Ernies serves counrty cooking, comfort food. They had an extremely loud live band this afternoon. They were good but to loud for us the the small space. There are booths and tables with an ice cream shop and a 4 lane bowling alley attached. Service was good and food was mediocore. We had a fried green tomato appetizer. They were served hot and crispy but were kind of greasy but a good flavor. For dinner we split the chicken dinner and had the garlic mashed potatoes and grilled veggie medley (carrots, broccoli and cauliflower) as our sides. It also came with grilled Texas toast. There were 2 small pieces of chicken when she brought our dinner, a three bite thigh and a 2 bite leg. The waitress even said it was a palrty serving and brought us another 2 bite chicken leg. Potatoes and veggies were good, well seasoned and cooked. Chicken again was greasy and a bit over cooked. Go for the antique shop experience and maybe an ice cream and skip the resturant.

    Ernie's was just 8 minutes away from an estate sale we attended in Fairfield; We watched people bowl in the Alley had 3 lanes open. The Burgers were the best. Had shakes afterward and went to antique Bloomfield shops afterward.

    Atmosphere, accommodation, service, food, music and amazing staff. What a great experience on the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. A must stop to experience this amazing gem within a picturesque Southern Town. Thank you to the staff for helping us gain a better seat to the Cheyenne Band! Ask the bartenders to make you a great Old Fashioned. What?! Ice cream, bowling alley, lots of neon color, caring service, and music. For sure...

    We stopped here after seeing a sign on the parkway in hopes that they made old fashion soda as my son really wants to try all the different styles of Coke. Sadly they don't make soda in house but so glad we made the trip! What an awesome place!! The food was good, but the atmosphere was amazing!! I would definitely recommend checking this place out! It was a tight squeeze getting my son in his wheelchair in and there are interior steps but if you enter though the ice cream parlor side, both doors open and there's no step. They do offer high chair for younger kids! Teeny tiny kitchen area behind the bar, but the food was good!

    Folks, if you live in the country, particularly in the Bloomfield, Taylorsville or Bardstown area, check out this fun place! 50 cent billiards and pinball. Four bowling lanes available. Decent food available at a very reasonable price. Beer and mixed drinks offered. Also, an ice cream shop that is proudly serving Graeter's. Lots of interesting vintage decor to see. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We had a fun date night! We'll be back again to roll a few and eat another bite. Thank y'all!

    What a great find! Loaded with iconic signs and posters and what nots. It even has a bowling alley! It comes complete with an old timey soda fountain with my favorite Graeter's ice cream. Ernie's serves a great cheeseburger and country fried steak sandwich among other choices. They also sell cold bottled beer and cocktails. Just a fun place to visit. The atmosphere was amazing. Recommend.

    Southern Burger-homemade pimento cheese, local bacon on top of fried green tomato and Bibb lettuce. Incredible!

    Throwback to my childhood! Kiddo was invited to a birthday party for a classmate and so off I went…read moreand we had a blast! They have different skates for all types! They had regular roller skates, inline skates, and special ones that were adjustable for kiddos to put over their shoes. They stress safety and there is plenty of fun to be had. If there are birthday parties they setup tables for cake and food. They also have on the other side tables for others as well as a snack bar to purchase your own food. They also have area to buy toys or skates. They have air hockey, billiards, and some rides. The rental fees were reasonable. Worth it for a few hours of fun.

    I wanted to give a updated review. All I see on here is from years ago. Place is clean and well…read moremaintained. Staff is just amazing and very helpful . Snack bar is awesome as well . Doesn't cost a arm and a leg to feed the 4 of us . They offer pizza whole or by the slice nachos icies soda water ect . They also have a cute little funshop with blow ups and small toys and other candy's. I got all of our skates from here as well . They new what we wanted and needed . Afternoon session was great for my 10 yr old but also fri sat nights was just as good . They play music to skate to . They don't just play random stuff . Everything from country to pop to hip hop a little of everything for everyone . We also did my youngest daughter birthday party here . You get what you pay for and a little more . Plan and simple if you wanna have a good time for a few hours for a few dollars this is the place . You can hang with the kids and have fun or drop them off and know they will be safe and sound when pick them up .

    Who knew there was a roller rink in the middle of nowhere!?…read more Actually, I had heard about this rink a year ago but couldnt find it. A youth outing last weekend finally brought me here. .... and all this time, it wasn't that far away from me! Go figure. Anyway. Charlie's Roller Rink is a low, rectangular shaped building with a little gravel parking lot. I didn't even see any signs as I pulled up (athough it was at night). The musty, old building smell hit me as I walked inside, but quickly faded as my eyes absorbed the building: a wooden floor surrounded with a waist-high wall barrier served as the roller rink. There were some pillars down the floor to support the rink, seating off to the side, a couple arcade games, and pool tables in the back. Up front is a counter for renting skates and beyond that is a small concession area with candies and sodas. Oh, and the bathrooms are TINY! But, I suppose that's actually kind of safe considering you're most likely to be wearing skates when you go. The walls are close enough for support. Can't have people falling and peeing all over themselves. We spent a couple hours skating around, participating in skating competitions, listening/dancing to music, and having a blast. The skates we rented were great! They've been maintained well (probably upgraded a couple times). I had no issues with the ones I wore, and my feet weren't even that sore the next day. I was actually a bit surprised that I enjoyed myself so much. It's not the fancy, larger kind of rink that I'm used to back home, but it's just as fun. Three stars because it's a small rink stuck in time; but four stars because that makes it kind of charming and fun!

    Took almost 40 minutes to get there, only to find the parking lot empty at 9pm on Saturday…read morenight...I walked up to the sign at the door. Which stated "Roller rink is closed until further notice" The Thompson Family. Not impressed, there should be a notice online that states this info, then I wouldn't have wasted so much time getting there for nothing. Just saying. Only recommendation would be to call 1st before you waste your time/gas to get there.
