Coworker was going here for lunch and I asked them to bring me back a steak flat with fruit for the side. The easiest way to describe the steak flat is if you take pita bread and load it up with steak, onions and pimento cheese. It was really good and I would definitely recommend. I felt it was a bit pricey but given the amount of meat and the quality of it I think that it was relatively decent cost. Fruit cup was as good as can be expected in mid-february and given the alternatives are kettle or baked chips I think I made the right decision.I would definitely get the steak flat again, and maybe next time I will actually go to the restaurant to be able to comment on that experience.

The Bell House Restaurant has so much character; I love the old historic home and the furnishings. We did not make reservations, but were able to still get seated. I ordered the Kentucky Hot Brown, and it was delicious! Service was quick, and everything tasted homemade. They had a brunch menu and tons of sandwich / soup combinations. The chef came out a few times to check on us and told us all the desserts are made in house too.

Our party of 8 was impressed. This place reminded me of the best inns/taverns in New England. It had a solid menu with an option for everyone. Food was well prepared and delicious. The Old Fashioneds did the Kentucky bourbon proud. Service was excellent.The Bell House was an unexpected pleasure in a small town.

I felt like I walked into a Hallmark movie A picture perfect spot in the heart of Shelbyville, Ky!! My sweet husband brought me here as a belated birthday dinner, and I was truly so impressed by the whole experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was incredible. Everyone was so friendly and kind. The Christmas decor made the inside all the more beautiful. The vintage decor is lovely. The star of the show was the spinach and artichoke dip appetizer!! We also got the bruschetta which was incredible. The surf + turf meal was cooked to perfection and the herb roasted potatoes and asparagus that came with it were just to die for. My husband got the Henry Bain Porkloin and raved about it. To end off the meal we ordered crème brûlée and the chocolate cake. They were both really good but that chocolate cake.... I want it for every celebration forever!! Last but certainly not to be forgotten - The drinks we got at the start of the night were reasonably priced and so yummy! We cannot wait for another date night here. 10000% give this little spot a try.

Was in the Bluegrass state and like any American I was looking for a classic Kentucky hot brown. You can't be in Kentucky and not stop for one. Seen the reviews and it was close so off to The Bell House we went. The restaurant is an elegantly restored home with a casual atmosphere. The service started out slow but got better as we went along. I started with the soup of the day "Lobster Bisque". It was splendid and full off flavor, but not overly fishy. Next on for what we came for the "Classic Kentucky Hot Brown". It came to the table bubbling hot so I couldn't dive in right away due to the extreme temperature of the food. The presentation of the dish was good and made it look delicious. Once it cooled down and I was able to taste it. I was happy we came. Not all hot browns are created equal and this one proved that point. I would recommend the hot brown and the Bell house to all that pass. It's a must stop and eat place.
