“ WOW! Legitimate first class dining here. We ate lunch here in September of 2022 as part of a private barrel selection experience and we were all pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. This is NOT your run of the mill microwave-prepared chicken fingers and fries. Our fried chicken was outstanding and the banana dessert - delicious. Service was great as well - the manager came out to tell us about each course and shared where everything came from and how it was prepared. Definitely plan to eat here if you are visiting Maker's Mark. ”
“ Fantastic place to dine after your visit at the Maker's Mark Distillery. Food is incredible and their cocktails is an envy of everyone when you taste the sophisticated notes of each drink. Your palate will thank you with each plate that comes to your table. Not about the serving size, but rather the unique flavor profiles of each ingredient comes out and shines. You can taste each fresh ingredient and it shines with natural taste. Seasoning is very minimal than what we are used to, so it shows great pride in them showing off the natural food ingredients. Job well done to the head chef and great job with mixology on your cocktails. The "Smoke and Mirrors" cocktail is a favorite, you need to try. ”
“ Ethan was an outstanding tour guide. We did the Star Hill Farms experience. I would recommend this tour as it is different from most other distillery tours. Afterwards we were able to choose a bottle of Markers Mark and dip our own bottle. The on-site restaurant was also a great place to grab a meal. Ariel did a great job as our server. I would recommend planning your day to enjoy a meal and their cocktail bar either before or after your tour. ”
“ A great lunch w Paris as the server. Friendly, professional, and the food was top rate- loves the beans and greens as well as the take on bourbon pie. Highly recommend ”
“ This is a review of the Star Hill Provisions restaurant at Maker's Mark Distillery. Only open for lunch at the moment. Tips are not accepted. Cashless payment only. Wagyu burger and fries were a great combo. Service was spot on and the atmosphere was relaxing. Potentially opening for dinner in the near future. ”
“ The drive into this place is beautiful. It is off the beaten path, but worth the effort. The tasting room has such a modern vibe—it felt like Napa— and the property is beautiful. We enjoyed a build-your-own-flight before walking around the grounds and visiting the gift shop. The fun thing about Maker’s Mark is getting to dip the bottles you buy into the iconic red wax. Add Maker’s Mark to your Bourbon Trail itinerary for sure! ”
“ Absolutely delicious!!! Cannot wait to visit again and enjoy another farm to table meal. It was great to tour the farm and then see the products being put to such great use! A fun menu with good drinks too! ”
“ The grounds here are just beautiful! You could spend hours just walking around and enjoying the gardens. We had a drink at the bar and then walked down to the gift shop to buy a bottle and go through the dipping process. The experience was fantastic and unique which made these bottles a little more special! ”
