A very nice place to eat. We stopped in to try the famous Louisville Hot Brown. It did not disappoint. The thick cuts of turkey were tender and flavorful. The sauce was also very good. The Derby pie was still warm when served and has a delicious flavor. The wait staff was friendly and it is in a great location.

Bristol always delivers regular, dependable service. I eat here three times a week at least. The servers are always great and friendly. Recently, with the new chef, the daily specials have been amazing. Truly some amazing meals. Can’t go wrong here. In fact, one of the best meals I’ve had in awhile was a lobster sauce pasta that was the special awhile back with the new chef. I haven’t seen it since, and I can’t wait for that to come back again and could eat that every day. But you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Always worth a stop in for regulars like myself and tourists looking for a good, local spot.

The dining area was very quiet during lunch hours but the staff and service were very kind and accommodating to everyone in the building. I wasn’t expecting much since we stopped in for a quick lunch. However, I was taken aback by the richness and complex flavors found in the sweet chili linguini. The sweetness is quite rich at first, but combining it with a bite of the savory blackened chicken and the tangy pickled cabbage makes for a heavy and complex flavor profile. It is quite heavy on the stomach, but it is certainly worth it. The black cherry Manhattan was white delicate and balanced with just enough sweetness and little to no ethanol bite that made for a versatile sipping experience worth taking home to replicate. I’d be curious to see how well their dinner service is based solely on how pleasantly surprising the lunch experience was.

We are visiting from Florida and the place was packed. They were kind enough to let the entire family sit at the bar. Salmon was really and my Hendricks, Tonic and Lime was fantastic. Bar tender was super friendly as well.

First of all I thought the place could use a deep clean seemed a bit dirty. The main reason for the low ratings was the service Waited over 25 minutes for beers for a group of guys yes the group was large but we weren’t ordering anything special we didn’t even get a chance to order food because God knows how long that would take most of us got app and walked out not happy at all and would not recommend you going to this place

My dinner (the bourbon-glazed pork chop, which was one of the specials) was great. I’m not even a huge pork chop fan, but this was very good, mostly because the glaze was excellent.

Stopped here for a quick lunch while we were on whiskey row and it did not disappoint! I had the sweet chili linguine and oh boy was it good!! Not spicy at all and down right delicious! They had $5 spritzers when we’re there. The Makers Mark one was delicious and a nice refreshing change up from all the tastings we had been doing.

A very good place on Whiskey Row to grab a quick lunch. Or so it would seem. But first, we will go over all the high points.
