"Over the last year or so the food has declined immensely. I decided to go back after more than 6 months and give it a try for Oktoberfest. The specials didn 't look appealing to me but I wanted a snack. I got the Fried Scout and Scholar basket and it was pathetic. When I think of Pickled Banana Peppers Onion Pickles Jalapenos, I expect them to be a portion that is visible, but they were very tiny pieces of sliced items, so small-like the size smaller than a dime were the jalapeños! It had no flavor and tasted like I was eating pieces of fried breading. I was so disappointed in how it looked I didn 't take a picture. I got the ham and cheese sandwich with fries and it was mediocre. It was a little salty. My friend got the pulled pork sandwich. We had never tasted such horrible coleslaw. I mean, I don 't think the chef tasted it. It was flavorless and not tasting like normal cole slaw. There was no sweetness or anything you expect from cole slaw. Look at my previous pictures from visits and you will see how it used to be. It is no longer impressive food but mediocre food. The price is not worth it. I did give it 3 stars because of the atmosphere, the staff, and the beer. I will continue to go for the beer but will no longer eat the food except for the pretzel or pretzel bites. I tasted the ones my friend go and they were edible. I hope they can improve their food and bring back the Brussel sprouts. And the large pretzel no longer exists!"

"Second time back at Bardstown Bourbon Company but no tour this time just for lunch. We were quickly seated an ordered drinks and apps. I course did an Old Fashioned for my drink of course and for apps we did the Kentucky Poutine and the Caesar Salad which was for sure large enough to share. The Kentucky Poutine is amazing. Delicious gravy, squeaky Cheese Curds and and fresh cut fries. We also added an egg on top since the runny yolk works so well with everything in the poutine. For my entrée I went with the Fried Chicken Sandwich which comes with Pimento Cheese on it was well and a side of Fries. It's hard to say no to Pimento Cheese on a Fried Chicken Sandwich. Our food come out about 10 minutes later and everything looked really good. My sandwich had a nice big piece of fried chicken but the only issue was half if the chicken was over cooked making it a little tough. The other half on the other had though was perfect. The fries once again were fresh cut but were a little greasy for sure. It was also my birthday when we were there so they did give me a free Bread Pudding and ice cream which was great! Bardstown Bourbon Company is a beautiful distillery and for sure worth the time to check it out as well as for lunch/dinner. The food wasn't as good as last time but that's also because they didn't have some of the things we loved on the menu 2 years ago. That poutine though is still amazing and a must get every time."

"Two years ago we came to Willet Distillery for a tour and had heard to check out the bar and restaurant upstairs. Unfortunately they were booked up and had a very long wait plus we had other tour to make it to so we had to pass. Two years later were back and made sure to make a reservation ahead of time. We came in at 11:00AM for an early lunch and were quickly seated. Our waiter made sure to explain the menu to us. Most options are smaller shareable servings and the 5-7 should be enough for our party of 5. I started with a drink and went with the Manhattan. Now I know I normally go with an Old Fashioned but I really like the Willet 4 year Rye they put in the Manhattan so that's what I stuck with. I'm glad I did too because it was great. Probably the best I have had. We then started with food: Local Cheeses: Your typically cheeseboard but with some fancy addons like Dijon Mustards, Onion Marmalade, Apple Butter and come of the best crackers I have ever had so light and crispy. The Rock Shrimp:; Not very large but so full of flavor. For sure some of the best I have had. There also was a corn puree that was so good that came with it. For sure worth a try. Crawfish Beignets: When you see something like this on a menu I always have to go for them. Nice pieces of Crawfish throughout plus a great Remoulade for dipping. Brussel Sprouts : Now I'm normally not a veggie let alone a Brussel Sprouts but these were very good. If you like brussels these are a must for you. The Crepe: This was the most surprising dish we got because it blew us out of the water. It was amazing. Stuffed with rich melty cheese and topped with Pepper Jelly it is for sure a must. The Chicken Thigh: This was also amazing. Crispy bites of Chicken Thigh covers in Calabrian Chili, Lime, and Honey. Give a great sweet and spicy vibe. Reminded of some Asian dishes I have had but better qualify. This so also a must. Egg Salad Sandwich: Now I had never had an Egg Salad Sandwich mostly because I didn't think I would like them but this changed the game for me. It was amazing and so flavorful. This is a/the staple of The Bar at Willet so you have to give it a try even if you don't think an Egg Salad Sandwich is your thing. The Bar at Willet is amazing and I will for sure be coming back next time we are in Kentucky."
