When in Bardstown, this is a "must stop" place! We got the schnitzel and goulash and they were as authentic as you can get. We got a Manhattan and old fashioned and they were spot on. The ambience is so cozy and just takes you back to a simpler time. Not to mention the staff were amazing. Cannot wait to come back and enjoy some real home cooking.

We had a great experience here. The friendly staff gave us very good service. The menu is small but everything on it looked amazing. Would highly recommend the Corden Bleu and the Kresco’s chicken. We will definitely come back!

One of my go-to’s when I’m in Bardstown. I’ve been going to this place since it first opened 30 years ago down the street closer to the courthouse. Consistently one of the best plates in town. Tried and true. Perfect for a quiet dinner or a large family dinner.
