Quote: We went to Mammy's Kitchen when we were in Bardstown for Bourbon Fest 2008. The weather that weekend was beautiful, and Bardstown was packed.

This restaurant is a seat yourself restaurant, and rather small. If I was estimating, I woudl guess that it seats maybe 50-75 people. When we got there all of the empty tables needed to be bussed. So we sat down, and a waitress cleared & cleaned the table very quickly.

The employees at Mammy's were incredibly polite, and kind. It was a little frantic due to the festival, but everyone was very calm and nice.

It took a while (probably 20-30 minutes) for our party of four to get our food, but our drinks never got empty. I am certain that the service would have been quicker if we were there on a normal weekend. To me, however, it is more important to have polite service than to have food served quickly. We simply enjoyed catching up with our friends. The manager also came to our table after we had gotten our meal to check on how everything was. That isn't something that I often see in smaller restaurants.

I got a tuna melt with chips, and a salad. My husband got soup and the 'Best grilled cheese in the world." He agreed with the menu that it was a great grilled cheese. I absolutely regret that I forgot to order the tater tots -- you can't find those many places.

The total for four of us (no alcoholic drinks) was under $35.

I'd definately recommend this restaurant to anyone stoppign in Bardstown who was looking for a cute, small restaurant with good food. If you're wanting a fancy meal, however, I'd explore other options.

Also, for a great photo op, in the front window there is a really neat Wild Turkey display, with a real (stuffed) turkey. Unfortunately for me, there was a stroller in the way, and I felt bad asking a person to move their stroller in a busy restaurant.
