    Lovely atmosphere. The Walnut Encrusted Chicken and the Burgoo was really good, but the Fried Catfish absolutely rocked!!

    We loved this historic inn! The food was okay. I got the pork and it was very good. The green beans were very, very sad! Probably canned but cooked to death! Our server Kennedy was delightful, though! We also stayed overnight - such a cute, historic room. Would love to come here again!

    Been to Bardstown twice. Visited Talbott Tavern the first time and just had to go there a second time! The venue reeks of history and features the world’s oldest bourbon bar. SO many bourbons. SO little time! I’d highly recommend the Talbott Tavern experience.

    Great historic place, but the environment is not quiet. It's relaxed, nothing too fancy, good food. Service was good as well.
