Reviews for The Rickhouse in Bardstown, KY
We dined here on Thursday night, Aug 4th. Olivia (I think correct) was a very helpful server. We really enjoyed our food - the... Hot Brown, filet mignon with scalloped potatoes and brussel sprouts (best ever brussel sprouts); the housemade rolls andcinnamon bourbon butter was amazing. We aren't bourbon drinkers, but flights are available. The atmosphere was pleasant and weenjoyed the subterranean, historical aspect. We would come again! Read more
Wow. Hidden below the museum entrance stairs like an 1920's speakeasy makes you feel like you are sneaking in. Great staff,... super friendly and an excellent choice of bourbon at the bar asking with amazing food. Enjoyed the night and wouldn'thesitate to recommend this place to anyone Read more
They were not kidding- the steak truly is phenomenal and you only need a butter knife to cut it. The filet absolutely melts in... your mouth! The sides were huge and very well done, so much flavor and it was a shame that I didn?t have a big enough appetiteto eat everything. Overall the place has a very charming atmosphere and love the rustic feel. Read more
Great steak in a neat location if you're willing to wait. The Rickhouse is located at the bottom of a neat old building which I... believe is a museum during the day. Your GPS will take you to the building, and it is on the front side of the building (or theleft if you are looking at it from the parking lot near the playground). There is plenty of parking, and it shouldn't be anissue regardless of the time of day. I called ahead and got a reservation the same day, which was easy enough. We went on aTuesday, and the place was somewhat full; I would still go with reservations. Our waitress was great, but everything took solong. The drinks took around 20 minutes. We waited an hour for our food, and the staff did seem pretty stressed out. They havea relatively extensive menu; the drink menu consists of wine and bourbon flights. They did not have a cocktail menu, although Idid hear some of the servers mentioning a couple of them. Once we got the food, it was pretty good. I had the sirloin, whichwas cooked correctly, and the salmon was pretty good. Neither will blow your socks off, but it is pretty good! The 11 cheese macand cheese was cooked well with a crispy top (I didn't even know they had 11 cheese mac and cheese). We also had the Brusselsprouts, which were again pretty good. The Rickhouse is fairly expensive, two drinks, steak, and salmon cost around$80. Overall, the food was pretty good, the building is relatively neat, and it is not a bad spot if you're willing to wait. Read more
The drinks were good, the bourbon selection was good, the salmon was great, and the service was very good. My wife enjoyed her... steak. The warm Brie salad was way better than I thought it would be, I will order that again in the future. Only reason I tookoff a star is because the Brussels sprouts were bad. They were chewy and not cooked properly. If they?re crispy then they?redelicious, but my wife and I both got them and they were inedible. Order some other side and you?ll likely have a great dinner.Wouldn?t stop me from returning, but I would never order those again here. Weird since everything else was so good. Read more
Great atmosphere. Food was delicious!! Grilled Caesar, Brussels and Mac and cheese were out of this world! Must try the Bourbon... Blackberry Mash! Our server, Amanda, did a fantastic job and made for an overall wonderful experience. Will definitely be back! Read more
Solid 4. Had dinner reservations at 5 on a Wednesday. Seated immediately. Can be hard to find as it sits under the stairs of... the whiskey museum and a truck was blocking the sign. Our server Tatiyana was really sweet. The blueberry salmon was fantastic. The steak linguine was good but had way too much sauce on it. Definitely a great meal! Read more
In town for the obvious reason hitting the bourbon trail ....was recommended this restaurant. It's lovely on the inside and we... had absolutely super music by a single female singer.. Our waitress was outstanding outstanding. Unfortunately the meal wastremendously overcooked and dry. We only waited about 15 minutes for a table and 40 minutes for our dinner To be cooked. Wenoted to the waitress that our food was way over done and The check was compt. Based on the fact that they took responsibilityfor the meal being poorly prepared I would recommend trying it again. The place has an excellent vibe and is a lot of fun to eatthere Read more
