Once seated we were given some recommendations by our sever, Bethany, who did an excellent job of taking care of us. So we ended up ordering the Pulled Pork Platter & Shrimp & Grits. Our meals arrived in short order & everything was outstanding. Our only complaint was the acousticss were pretty awful which made carrying on a conversation a little difficult but I suppose there isn't much that can be done about that. All in all we were more than happy with our experience & we will absolutely return again in the future.

The shepherds pie was just okay. Green fried tomatoes were fine, but missing the mark on the sauce. We ordered a special, souvlaki chicken. It was two skewers of really small, burnt and overcooked chicken with peppers on a bed of what tasted like microwaveable rice. Totally missing the seasoned and bright-herbaceous mix of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and oregano. Just go to the bar. Find some other place for dinner.

Um, when I double checked where it was, I noticed the close at 7?!?? So we left as soon as we could and got there at 6:35 and yes,, they close at 7:00. But the one waiter there was fine with seating us and he did a good job and was so nice and calm. The place reminded mr of old school supper club type places your grandparents would take you too. Nothing splashy but cute. Upstairs there was a bar and seating area too. The food was soooo good. I got their chicken special and my husband got the steak special for the night. It was so much food but it was just good old cooking yet not just "plain". My husband said the mushrooms he got with the steak were easily the best he has ever had. We ate until we were going to burst. And it was getting late but the staff was not pushing us or anything (we tried to get done as quick as we could though for their sake). It was a really nice experience.

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.

BJ's Steakhouse has been a local establishment for decades in Bardstown. The locals love and and it…read moreis ALWAYS busy. It is located at the entrance to the Cottage Grove neighborhood, where I live. I would describe it as your typical local establishment that probably gets their food from SYSCO or GFS. The menu is wide, but not deep. Its standard fare food that is good but nothing special. We typically order carry-out as it is easy to go around the corner and get it. I've had several menu items and they are all good, just nothing outstanding. The burgers, ribeye sandwich, and chef salad are pretty good. If you get a salad get the ranch dressing. They make their own. It's a mint green color but don't let that deter you. It's some of the best ranch dressing I've had. Don't pass on this. The steak is about Texas Roadhouse quality or just a notch under, but it is priced accordingly. It's not really seasoned in any way like TRH, which is what drops it a notch. The cod fish sandwich is good and flavorful with a thick cut piece of cod. But its only big enough to take up half of the sandwich. (See picture). It really needs two pieces of fish, or to switch to an oblong bun. I'm a big Hot Brown fan and have had them from many places. The one here is alright. The "special cheese sauce", as it is called on the menu, is ok, but it's not the creamy mornay sauce I see on most Hot Browns. I still order it from time to time if I'm in the mood for a hot brown when we are ordering from there. It's like everything else on the menu - not bad, but not great either. Order accuracy on carry-out orders can be inconsistent. For example, with the fish sandwich I recently ordered I specifically said without lettuce and tomato but said to make sure to include the tartar sauce. I ended up getting lettuce and tomato and no tarter. It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened on our carry-out orders. The atmosphere in the restaurant is nice and inviting. The decor is nice but starting to show its age. The exterior was just cleaned up and refreshed. When we have eaten there we've had varying qualities of service depending on who the server is, but overall I'd say it is good. If you go there with the right expectation that nothing is really going to "wow" you, but that you'll get a decent meal at a fair price, you'll be quite happy with it.
