Mammy's Kitchen & Bar

This is a great place to eat with really good food! I know everything has gone up but the prices seemed a little high for what we received. I wish there was just one piece of french toast you could order instead of two great big pieces. The little three pieces of bacon was not worth $7.00 in my opinion. The sweet tea is fabulous! We always stop here and I don't mean to complain as it really is good food.

This place was so good. I wish I had been to go back for lunch one day during my trip but breakfast was phenomenal. If you go on Sunday, you need to try the deep fried cinnamon roll. The service is excellent as well.

A wonderful bar that the wife and I happened upon while visiting Bardstown. The breakfast I had, the "Hot Brown" is one of the best breakfast dishes I've had in awhile. The little store they have there is cute and has lots of little trinkets and fun treats. I loved the environment of this place and it's a long bar that seems to stretch quite a bit from the front restaurant to the back. I will say that the hostess that greeted and sat us seemed to be having a bad day that may have translated into being a little less than welcoming. Not a detriment to the overall enjoyment of the food and drinks though.

Mammy’s Kitchen and Bar is hands down the best breakfast we’ve had in the area. It was so good that we went back again the very next morning—something we rarely do on trips! Let me start with their Bloody Mary… absolutely AMAZING. Truly one of the best I’ve ever had. Between our two visits, we tried the Hangover Skillet, Biscuits & Gravy, the giant Cinnamon Roll, and the Fried Chicken Benedict—every single dish was delicious. The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The atmosphere has a warm Southern charm, and the servers were friendly and welcoming both times we visited. If you’re anywhere near the area, don’t miss this place. It’s easily a must-stop breakfast spot!

Wow… what a find!! This place was simply great.. stopped in with our pup for some lunch and were very impressed with the atmosphere, food and great service. Our servers were Abbey and Amanda, who did an amazing job. They have a great selection of bourbon for you sampling pleasure, and the food was delicious.. we had the bourbon burger and the grilled chicken sandwich.. both came with home made kettle chips and were very tasty. Abbey even brought out a nice piece of bacon and water for Memphis Belle who enjoyed the attention and treats very much. We had lunch on the front patio, which has ample seating and umbrellas if needed. Parking in the back with ADA accessibility. The service was excellent and we really enjoyed the staff… do yourself a favor.. and get yourself there for a really great experience.

My friends and I came here for lunch after the heaven hill distillery tour. It was a recommendation from an employee there and I must say it was a great one. I ordered the Chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese. Each of them were delicious. The chicken was fried and seasoned very well and went extremely well with the conrbread pancake. The mashed potatoes and gravy were real good and the mac and cheese was good. The only thing about the mac and cheese is that the noodles were bland. I really like that the menu was on a newspaper. You dont see that everyday. My friend ordered the bourbon grilled chicken and he seemed to really enjoy it. My other friends got burgers and they enjoyed that as well. A few of the guys got the bourbon bloody mary... sad to say it was not a hit. No one liked it. It was quickly replaced with old fashions and I had the Kentucky bourbon barrel stout. I liked it. The food here is definitely worth stopping in for. It will definitely hit the southern food spot if you are looking for one. Our hostess was very nice as well.

Wait was only about 20 to be seated. We ordered the fresh pork rinds for an appetizer and the were still hot and popping when they brought them out! Delicious! The place is very coolly decorated with a mish mash of rural farm versus modern settings. My wife ordered the Hot brown and thought it to be a might bit salty and I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with homemade potato chips which was really good. They have a county store but we didn’t get a chance to go in before they closed. The only real turn off was the men’s restroom was very small and unpleasant for a bar and restaurant of this size with only 1 stool and 2 urinals (which were both out of order). Waitresses were very attentive and friendly!

Mammy’s Kitchen & Bar is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the place feels incredibly cozy, quirky, and welcoming. The restaurant was fully decked out in Christmas décor, including a large display of classic Christmas misfits (including a 10 ft abominable snowman) and it truly felt magical. Even the little shop inside the restaurant was adorable, filled with charming items that were hard to resist. The staff really set this place apart. Our waitress was exceptionally kind and friendly and made us feel right at home. Little details like the menu being printed on old newspaper added to the restaurant’s unique charm and made the experience feel thoughtful and special. The food was fantastic from start to finish. We ordered the pork rinds as an appetizer, and they were cooked to absolute perfection...not too crispy, not hard or dry, and not soggy either. The generous basket was far more filling than a typical appetizer. Everything was seasoned and prepared just right with the toppings coming together perfectly. For our meal, we had a hamburger served on a corn muffin bun with coleslaw, cheese, and other toppings. I was a bit unsure at first how those flavors would pair together, but wow!!! they complemented each other perfectly. Every bite worked, and the balance of flavors was spot-on. Prices are very fair for the quality, portion sizes, and overall experience. Portions are generous, and nothing felt skimpy or overpriced. The restaurant is completely family-friendly, offering a kids menu with good options, and the décor itself makes it a fun and welcoming place for children. Mammy’s Kitchen & Bar can get busy, especially during peak seasons, so calling ahead may be a good idea. We had about a 15-minute wait in the off season, but it was absolutely worth it. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with our experience and would recommend this place to anyone, families, couples, or anyone looking for great food in a warm, charming atmosphere.
