My Old Kentucky Dinner Train

Food was excellent we had a full three course meal. The portions were good size. The server was very polite and friendly. We sat across from a sweet older couple and shared laughs and life stories. My wife and I truly enjoyed the conversation and experience. Definitely something to experience once in your lifetime.

This was fun! A group of us decided to try it and we're glad we did. It was a two hour trip, and only lacked a host to give background on what we were seeing. Something I thought was a "professional farm" turned out to be bourbon storage. Figured that out from a card I picked up afterwards.We were told to arrive at 5 for a 6 o'clock departure. Why? As near as I can figure they wanted you in the bar (at extra cost) and gift shop. Right at 6 we boarded.The servers worked hard, not only checking on your menu choice but serving drinks. I thought I would die of thirst before I got my glass of wine. While food was good, we laughed we paid $100 for a $30 dinner. And while salad and pimento cheese were served to everyone, one at our table didn't get hers and when we pointed it out the server said she would check on it and never got back to us. Turns out two was plenty for the 3 of us.Would I do this again? Probably not. But I'm glad I ticked it off the bucket list. And Bardstown is charming. More on that in another review. Stay tuned for more...

Really enjoyed the dinner train. The food was excellent. Our server, Jill, was great!

We went on a "lunch" train version of the dinner train. The sun was shining, the food was amazing and the service was beyond reproach. Meal service was chosen prior to boarding, but they do offer a cash bar for those who chose to partake. They even had a "tourist card" that explained the landmarks visible out the windows at the designated mile markers.I am was so impressed with this trip that I am planning to return for their "Murder Mystery Train by Murder and Merriment" trip. If the lunch was any indication of their professionalism, then the murder mystery would be a hoot!

A very enjoyable experience. A three hour train ride with an excellent three course dinner accompanied by a selection of four bourbons. What more could you ask for. The service was impressive and entertaining given that trays of food and drinks were moving around a moving railcar.

Great food. Great service great drinks. Great experience. We'll be back soon. Pleasant train ride.

Had a terrible experience with My Old Kentucky Dinner Train. I purchased 2 gift cards in November 2019 for $150.00 each to give to my adult children as Christmas gifts. Then in the spring of 2020 COVID struck and they closed. According to their website they closed permanently. It was sad that I lost $300, but not much I could do. Their website was closed, no-one answered the phones, no way to communicate with them at all. Then in September 2024 I found out they had re-opened. I contacted them immediately and they have a record of my gift certificates....but then went on to tell me that they would be expiring in the first week of November, only 6 weeks away! My kids have busy families and schedules and it's not possible for them to plan a trip in such short notice. I complained to My Old Kentucky Dinner Train and asked them to extend the deadline so my kids would have ample time to use the gift cards.....as of this writing, I've received no response. This is a terrible way to treat a customer. They have CHOSEN to let the gift card expire. They could extend the time if they wanted, but they apparently aren't interested. Pitiful customer service.

We so enjoyed our trip while visiting Kentucky for the UF vs UK game (Go Gators!). Not only was it a neat way to see some sights and the beautiful KY countryside, but the food was delicious and the servers worked hard to ensure our experience was good. The best part was that, as a WFPB eater, I was not wanting the Vegetarian option of cheese tortellini, and let them know in advance that I would prefer the veggie sides and potatoes from the other meat options available. I did not get that. Instead, I was delightfully surprised that they went above and beyond to make me a special dish of Spaghetti Squash in a sauce of capers, sun dried tomatoes, etc, that was not only delish, but even better than MY spaghetti squash (which I love and do very well)! Thanks, MOKDT! We recommend you 100% for going above and beyond! Must be that Deep South hospitality!

The food and service was absolutely amazing. Tons of staff . The only negative is the seating. The chairs are not comfortable and it is very cramped. An extra two inches at rash table would make a huge difference.More food than any of us could eat all perfectly prepared.

Terrible experience all around. They do not value safety and security of guests. Staff and mgt obviously are not trained in emergency situations.
