Going to Bardstown tomorrow for my daughter's school even tomorrow. We try not to hit chains when able. Any good recs? I'm in the mood for downhome/country cooking, but I'd take recs for anything.

Mammy’s Kitchen, Old Talbot Tavern, BJ’s Steakhouse and Kresos. Kresos is not so much down home country but steaks and a variety of other goodies. Good stuff.
Scout and Scholar or the Bardstown Bourbon Company Kitchen and Bar
I've heard the alcohol is decent at Scout/Scholar.....which is great....I love a good beer. But how's the food at these places?
Great. I used to hunt quail in Kentucky and it's my favorite wild game. Theirs was not wild. I did not see it on the current menu. This was almost 40 years ago.
Stephen Foster restaurant is a pretty good option as well as all the others listed.

I love the chicken fingers at Mammy's Kitchen. Served with a delicious dipping sauce....
Talbot isn't as cool as it used to be before the renovations but I still love it.
I don't know why it is so hard to get a restaurant opened somewhere that offers REAL authentic country cooking like friend chicken livers that are crunchy on the outside yet soft on the inside with layers of onions all over them, real green fried tomatoes that are cooked the same way and are more like mashed potatoes than these awful finger food types that everyone serves with dipping sauce, and most of all real breakfast gravy made from bacon grease, flour, and milk then poured over homemade biscuits?
That type of cooking, the real version, has almost completely died out the more my family from Eastern Kentucky dies out.

The food is excellent. It’s intent is upscale so are the prices are higher compared to a cafeteria.
If ur in the mood for a great burger... Bardstown Burger is awesome.
If ur in the mood for a great beer and wings....Scout and Scholar is good.
Mammy's is all around a decent place but I don't recommend the burgers there. Meat is cheap.
Talbot Inn is a great experience for atmosphere and food is pretty good but a little pricey.
Depends on what you're in the mood for.
A bakery is rated the #1 restaurant in Bardstown. Bakery must be awfully good or the restaurants not so good.

Thanks to everyone. In the end, wife changed plans and we had to leave quickly and couldn’t eat there. Yeah.....Chik-fil-A in Lexington....again......yeah!
Only place I've eaten in Bardstown is the Dinner Train. M'lady loved it. Certainly not what OP is looking for, but it was worth it to me to drive there from Lexington. Very enjoyable experience of any of you guys are looking for something to make your lady happy.
Drive a little further out to New Haven, and hit up Howies Family Restaurant. Little hole in the wall, with some damn good food and a little country cookin'.

Worst McDonald's I've ever been to was in Bardstown. Pretty much all chain restaurants there are really bad compared to other places. I had a pretty good Mexican meal over there once, but most of those type of places are decent everywhere. Definitely stay at local joints over there or drive to Etown or the next town if needing to eat a drive thru on the run.
I can't believe I chimed in talking about fast food joints, but they truly were some of the worst ones that I've eaten at.

We stopped at a Bardstown McDonalds when I was a kid on the way to Lexington for a game at Rupp. I was a kid so do not remember it being especially terrible as kids have a tolerance for the garbage that is McDonalds food that adults do not have.
There used to be an old restaurant that was an old shack called Col Hawks and it was one if the best in the state , ,
