From our beloved regulars
We have ate at the Rickhouse several times and it has always been great. We usually get steak, the Ribeye is wonderful. The scalloped potatoes and Brussel sprouts are my favorite sides. The grilled caesar salad is unique and yummy if you can fit it in.
The Rickhouse was a group favorite this weekend!!! Our waitress took wonderful care of us. We had a phenomenal table by the windows. The old fashioned were marvelous! The spinach artichoke dip and warm bruschetta was amazing!! We tried a wide variety of entrees; filet, ribeye, blueberry salmon, mushroom ravioli and steak pasta. The steaks were all seasoned and cooked to perfection. The ravioli and great cream sauce was a favorite. We left full and headed downtown to taste our way around Bardstown. Definitely agree with assessments that this is the best fine dining in Bardstown!!
Good food with large portions. Only reason why food didn't get a 5 was because it was a little heavy on the garlic, but that's more of a preference. The atmosphere in the basement of the bourbon museum was neat.
We really enjoyed Tobie 😉 she was a joy to be around and took great care of us ! We had a blast and the food was top notch. Ribeye hit hard !
We came for dinner and had the 9 oz. Steak wuth 2 sides each which consisted of green beans and loaded baked potatoe fir one and the other sides was mushrooms and Brussels. It was prepared to perfection and was delicious. It was a place to re visit
The food was A grade, I felt one of my relatives was in the kitchen tonight 😂. My steak was flavorful and juicy. The green beans were lukewarm but flavorful. I had the best server Aly, above and beyond the call to ensure we had a great experience. The space was cozy and inviting like a merger between a underground speakeasy and Rickhouse.
Attentive staff, was able to taste wines before we ordered. The rolls with cinnamon butter was a hair sweet, but good. The Sea Bass was delicious! The grilled Ceasars salad was awesome, lots of bacon and Parm. The ribeye was on the thin side but ample portion, had a herb flavor. The Scalloped potatoes were very good, so was the 11 cheese mac...the Brussels sprouts were maple, but not too sweet. Overall a very good experience, I thought the food was nicely caramelized...I plan on going back.
What a great experience. Showed up as a solo with no reservation. Was greeted by Tony Fisher and instantly felt welcomed. Tony was super friendly and highly professional. Had a great server for my meal who checked on me often. Had the filet, mushrooms and cocktail shrimp. All 3 were very good. Thank you!!!
What a fun place to eat. Great food. Very friendly service. Extensive bourbon list. Every single bite was delicious. Highly recommend the salmon, the rib eye, or the mushroom pasta. Generous servings, expertly prepared. Sarah was attentive and professional, but also fun and interesting. Leave room for dessert!
Good friendly accommodating service. Mussels were good. Steak was ok. Didn’t love the steak way too salty and peppery. Asparagus needed to be cooked more. Overall it was decent. I have been there when the food was better. Still a good place to go. My tastes have changed so I can’t blame them for that
