On a recent visit to Maker’s Mark we decided to try a new restaurant for lunch, and are we glad we did. The Bardstown Bourbon Company and Bar is a go to place for great food.

They locally source from farms and know how to deliver delicious food. We started with their huge “country” ham and cheese plate, which four of us could not finish it was so plentiful. We also shared one of the best poutines I have ever had, made with cheese curds and outstanding bacon (more like pork belly). Then we had their hot brown, which rivalled the best we’ve ever had, and delicious fried chicken.

I had noticed the early ratings for this place were fairly high on good foodie sites like Open Table and that’s why we tried it. We were totally taken back by how excellent our experience, including the service and open dining atmosphere were.

Stop in the next time you travel South of Louisville near Bardstown. You won’t be disappointed!
