My Old Kentucky Dinner Train

We were on train car 011 table 1 Gale was our server. She was absolutely fabulous. The food was absolutely awesome. Can't speak highly enough about the pot roast. The flavor was spot on. Mashed potatoes, bread, carrots it was all absolutely great. The train ride was pretty awesome. Enjoyed being able to see the different distilleries along the way.

So the 2 ladies i was vacationing with had previously purchased tickets before I joined the trip and I didn't think I would be able to get on the dinner train due to reservations being booked ahead so far out. They went to check in and asked if anyone had canceled or anyway for me to purchase a ticket somehow. Thankfully they switched some things around and got me a spot to join my friends at their table. They offer a full bar before getting on the train and also once on it. Before we left the depot we were immediately served drinks and waitress verified our dinner order. The train ride is very peaceful not fast at all and everything was brought out in a timely manner and professionally. Waitress haylee was sweet and spot on with service. If your looking for a relaxing dinner and ride this is it. I would say this is for the older crowd or couples if looking for a nice date night. Price does run 100+ per person for dinner.

We loved everything about this trip from the Depot, to the train excursions, to the delicious meal. The meal was the best I’ve ever had out anywhere. The Prime Rib was cooked to perfection. The cheeses cake was delicious. Everything was so fresh. The waitress was an absolute doll and a super server. We will do this trip again sometime and bring friends

This is an excellent train ride! My wife and I did a Friday evening dinner/bourbon excursion trip and it was wonderful! Both the chicken cordon blue and the prime rib were fabulous (the prime rib must have been 20 ounces, it was huge)! Josh was our MC for the trip and he was perfect! A great mix of bourbon facts and history mixed in with some good humor (and some corny jokes as well)! would definitely do this trip again!

Our party of 6 boarded for the 12/21/24 Dinner. It was such a wonderful experience providing memories that would last beyond wrapping paper and “stuff.” You get to be a part of history in small way, get a real classy dining experience, along with a meal that is worth the price of the admission itself. We will do this again.

We had the absolute BEST time on the North Pole Express with our two girls. The atmosphere was magical from the moment you walked inside to check in. The girls got to take pictures with Santa, and he even read a story to all the kids before boarding the train. The food was delicious and the drinks were phenomenal! Best hot chocolate we’ve ever had! The most special part was after the train ride, Santa gave everyone a bell and my girls haven’t stopped talking about it! They ask everyone if they can hear it ringing so they know they “believe” in Santa! What a fantastic experience! I would highly recommend to anyone considering the purchase. Also, I can’t thank Adrian enough for helping me with our seats. She went above and beyond to help accommodate us so we could all sit together. I would give 5 plus stars for customer service!

Had a lovely train dinner the weekend with my husband, celebrating our anniversary. I had the mahi mahi and my husband had the lamb, both very tasty. The salad and chips/salsa starters were great, and our desserts were awesome too (had the blueberry cake and apple pie, both with ice cream). The dinner was a murder mystery theme, and it was fun to play along. We really liked our experience!

We went for our 5th wedding anniversary with a gift certificate, but I can't really say I'd recommend this experience full price. It's $120 a person at dinner time, and even at lunch I still believe it's $80-90. For that price, I really hoped it would be a better experience. The train is understandably cramped, and you also should definitely wear layers because it can be really cold or really warm. The food was okay, but very hit and miss. My main course was wonderful, but my husband's was cold and the sauce was gelatinous from sitting so long. My dessert was burnt (and stuck to the plate) while his was totally fine. For a lower price point? I wouldn't even mind to be honest. It was still pretty good all in all! I was also VERY impressed at their ability to accommodate allergies and dietary preferences! I also appreciated that they ask about special occasions, and they gave us a lovely card! Boarding and getting off the train is a little hectic, so just be prepared for that if you have any special needs or move a bit slow. Overall it was not bad at all, I did really enjoy the experience! But for the price point for the normal dinner excursion, it didn't seem quite worth it if we hadn't had the certificate we had.
