The Old Talbott Tavern

The service at this place is totally atrocious. Awful. Part of it was that our server was double sat by the hostess. The food was nothing special. The only saving grace was the bourbon! You can get 5 shots for $27, some good high end stuff too. It was nice to be able to try so many kinds of bourbon-and they have a wonderful selection. We also went back to the bar that night, same crappy service. It would have been nicer if the bourbon had nicer glasses-I mean, really-who is going to shoot a 12 year old bourbon??

We came here after a recommendation from the Jim Beam distillery.

The food was ok. They did have some nice unique items like the Kentucky soup thing and the Kentucky hot brown. The food was. Ok, it tended to be a little salty but they had real mashed potatoes. Unfortunately they doused it in pre-made gravy and used canned green beans. We also tried the fried green tomatoes and they we delicious.

Wasn't worth the hype we had heard about the place. The ambiance was not as cool as I was hopping.

We had a very nice time here. Fried pickles, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, hot brown, whiskey drinks...What more could you ask for?! We are not from the south, so we aren't good judges as to "authentic" southern food, but were completely stuffed and satisfied after our dinner here. We went to the bar after dinner and had a few bourbon drinks. We loved the bartender! She was super nice, friendly and very knowledgable about bourbon and the area. They have a very good selection of bourbon and a great atmosphere. We went there during the week, so it was pretty dead in there but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely come back again!
