    This little restaurant has so much good food, we came back twice! And they are open later, when the towns asleep. The roasted chicken panini and a Michigan dog is what I tried, and they were not only delicious but came with really tasty trimmings. They've got all drinks you can taste as well, local brew and bourbon, and wine. The owner is a real nice and courteous guy too!

    Our experience here and review its on the desserts ONLY-We stopped by for a late dessert after dinner and we were happy we did! Both desserts were fresh and delicious. We also ordered 2 cups of coffee -these weren't the best. It wouldn't hurt to invest in machine to make a better coffee. (Maybe a Keurig machine and have available flavor coffee) We hope next time we get to try their food and drinks! It's nice to have a place that closes late in downtown Bardstown. Service was promptly.

    If you're visiting town, or a resident, you have GOT to try this place! Have been several times and everything has been amazing! Food is made fresh when you order it. Some of my favorites so far are the BBQ nachos, and the smokehouse burger! Portion sizes are perfect! Perfect stop for tourists, and a quick bite to eat all hours of the day and late night

    Terumisu and a sample of the limoncello!

    Loved this place!! Staff was so kind and friendly! Couldn't decide on which burger to try so the BF and I split 2 different ones and both were incredible! Again had trouble deciding on which dessert, went with the tiramisu, but they still gave us a small piece of the other cake we were deciding between! We left so full of good food wow

    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.

They have a very welcoming space…read moreand you walk into the main area where they have many beers on draft and many of them brewed in house. 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.

We ordered appetizers which were actually very good! The hot artichoke dip--fantastic! And I have had many over the years. We ordered the bruschetta. I never thought someone could improve upon such a normally simple dish, but they did! It was simply delightful! The bread slightly sweet and lightly garlicky, ripe firm tomatoes and a drizzle of syrupy, balsamic vinegar. I should have made that my meal! Now our entrees were unimpressive and our prelude really had us psyched for something amazing. I ordered the wild mushroom ravioli. Not sure how "wild" cremini mushrooms were but I took two bites and I was done. I forgot what my husband had, but he did the same--two bites and done! We are willing to give it another go, simply because we were teased by the appetizers. Come on Rickhouse! Get yer sh-t together!

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!

    I'm giving it a 2 because the waitress was friendly. And because my son liked his appetizer. And…read morebecause they have Coca-cola products. 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.
