Sunday, 18 January 2026…read more Met friends at J.R. Neighbors for lunch. According to my friend, the have the best burgers in Etown! ‍ There are a few parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant (maybe 5, with 2-3 slots being reserved for handicap). There are nearby parking lots with plenty more parking. As it was a Sunday, we had no trouble finding parking. There were a few people ahead of us, maybe three different parties. My partner and I did not have to wait to be seated since the friends we were meeting had already arrived and got a table. We greeted our friends then reviewed the menu. Since it was around 12ish on a Sunday, only the brunch menu was available. Not long after, our waitress arrived to take drink orders. Shortly after that, and after the drinks arrived - pineapple mimosas, apple juice, and water, we ordered our food...mostly everyone had a burger. I had the Texan burger/sandwich which came on a Texas toast, hence the name, and my partner had the Newberry Smash burger (double). Each came with a choice of "regular" fries or tots. I wanted sweet potato fries, but again, since it was Sunday, only the brunch menu and what was displayed was available. So, I settled for regular fries. My burger was good albeit a bit messy with the sunny side egg running everywhere! The bacon topping the burger was perfectly done with the right crispy/crunchy consistency. My mimosas was refreshing except I did not get much of a pineapple taste. The fries were fresh and appropriately seasoned, not too salty and not too bland, just right. We were all full from our meals so we did not even consider dessert! The restaurant was busy but not overly crowded, so the atmosphere was quite. We sat by the windows and were not even distracted by the outside vehicles passing by. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and would recommend J.R. Neighbors to anyone looking for good burgers in a good atmosphere in Etown.

This restaurant is next to a Pilot truck stop wide open for truck parking on a Sunday evening. The walk to the restaurant was less than three minutes and well worth it. I had a Swiss mushroom burger that was one of the best I've ever had. I'm almost certain that the beef was steak quality, absolutely charbroiled, and cooked to perfection. There was real Swiss cheese and flavorful mushrooms. The crinkle fries were crisp on the outside and fried just right. The iced tea was fresh, and my glass was never empty. Seriously, I will make a point to come here in the future.

This location hosts a sports bar feel instead of a lounge-y vibe, and the customer base seems to be mosty retirees. Granted, retirees make up the majority of the local community so I'm pleased there is a place for them to kick back and enjoy their time with one another. There seemed to be a full bar and I heard they serve food, but I didn't see a menu or order anything. If I come back, it'll likely be with my retiree family member(s) but I doubt I'll return on my own.

Thankfully my wife suggested Pub By Novo. It was the first Friday of March Madness, but we were there early so we had no problem snagging a table. When you walk in it feels like a sports bar. It is a clean space with lots of metal and concrete. I like the look. When you peruse the menu you quickly realize this ain't no typical sports bar. The menu offers upscale bar food and has something for everyone. We started with the Pimento Cheese Dip, which comes with a generous portion of dip and lightly toasted bread. It was very good. My wife ordered the Kentucky Hot Brown (although here it is simply called Hot Brown). It was on point and excellent. I had the Chicken and Waffle, mine was very good but the Hot Brown was the star of the day. Service was extremely friendly and dripping in Southern Hospitality. Prices are reasonable. I'm not sure I'll ever be back to Bowling Green Kentucky, but if I am I'll certainly stop at Pub By Novo!

I couldn't believe how crowded it was, even on a Saturday-- almost everyone who came in had a super long wait! Every table was full, and I was only lucky enough to be seated because I had a table of one. I had a cocktail that was excellent (can't find which one on the menu online, but I think it was something with blackberry?), and the parmesan salmon which was also great. The portions were a little smaller than I expected, but still satisfying. I can see why this place is so popular, especially amid all the chains on the same street!

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!

No - my chicken tender sandwich was a bit dry and the side salad had tomatoes that looked like they went through a microwave before they were put on the plate. That being said, the food isn't terrible, the staff wasn't rude or overbearing - it's food that allows you to feed the alcohol and enjoy some decent beer that is palatable, especially to those who don't like bourbon or realize that maybe they have had a bit too much and need to slow down.
