The Kitchen Table

The wife and I go here on special occasions. Our visit Saturday was the best one thus far! The food was amazing as always, and the staff was extremely courteous and helpful. They continue to prove themselves as the best restaurant in Kentucky that I’ve been to thus far And I travel all over the place doing home inspections. Lucky for us, this place is only five minutes down the road.
I had the smoked turnip salad and the catfish, and she had the fried chicken. She got her favorite beverage, which is the Rhubarb Buck and I tried a new one twice, the Denial. Both were fantastic!

Highly recommend this establishment! The atmosphere is chill and inviting. Service was great and informative. We tried and loved the pizzas, pulled pork sliders, garlic fries, the fried chicken and the duck poppers. Everything was full of flavor. Had a whiskey flight and next time we will try more. Will definitely drive 2.5 hours for this restaurant.

The smash burger was smashing and the empanadas were amazing! I would highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu!

We sat outside due to the great weather! Service suffers sometimes when disconnected from the kitchen inside but this staff was on it! They kept our drinks full and food was hot when it came out! (🤫it might be time to take the Christmas decor down 😬)

Stand alone restaurant in the jim bean distillery, fantastic rotating food options with spirit options you can’t find anywhere else.

Very much recommend ordering a few entrees and sharing them as a group so you can sample all of the flavors.

There are some unique bourbon flights on top of the cocktails on offer.

This is a great spot to stop on its own or after your tasting/tour.

This restaurant was located right by the American Outpost building. If you have the chance to take a tour at the James B. Beam Distilling Co., this would be an excellent stop to squash your belly down with some food and maybe even some more bourbon. I came here with my parents, my significant other, and my dog.

I ordered a Diet Coke and a Jim Beam Highball. The Diet Coke was good. The Highball had Jim Beam Bourbon, Soda Water, and Citrus in it. It was a crisp and refreshing drink. I think it blended well.

For food, my significant other and I shared The Kitchen Table Burger and the Pepperoni Pizza. The Kitchen Table Burger came with white cheddar, hickory sauce, garlic aioli, fries. The Pepperoni Pizza had mozzarella, calabrian chilis, hot honey.

The Burger was a smash burger and dang, it was awesome! The fries came in a cool metal container alongside the Burger and I was even given ketchup on the side. They were good! The Pizza seemed so unique, yet so tasty! The spice was present the whole time. I loved it. I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t please every mouth, especially since it kicked mine around a bit. That made it more original in my opinion, though.

Our server was fantastic. She brought everything we needed in a timely manner. I sure was impressed.

Overall, I feel this restaurant is a must if you had the pleasure of doing the tour beforehand. Even if you’re not going to do the tour, I’d still say you should try this joint out if you can. My parents joined us and they didn’t participate in the tour. I don’t have a single complaint about this place. If I’m in Kentucky soon, I’ll probably crave it!
