There are so many great places to eat in Kentucky that it's easy to choose a different place for each meal...and not have any repeats for months! But, of course, when you find something you love you tend to go back over and over again. That's exactly the case with this delicious buffet in Bardstown. It's stocked with some of the best comfort food in the state and it's been around so long it feels like a real part of the community.

We know that referring to anything as the best can be a bold statement, but in this case we feel pretty confident in our assessment!

Welcome to Stephen Foster Restaurant in Bardstown. For over 40 years this community staple has been serving totally authentic southern food to folks with hungry bellies and great taste.

Unlike other buffets that are only open for lunch and dinner, Stephen Foster offer lunch, dinner and breakfast which means you can fill up throughout the day.

It's this wide variety of meals that make the options feel endless!

Breakfast begins with everything you could possibly want, from sweet treats like pancakes and pastries to savory things like eggs and bacon.

And the lunch options are hearty and robust. Create your own chicken and waffles, or feel free to smother everything in ranch. It's up to you!

Fried chicken, mac and cheese, corn and meatloaf await. And don't forget the biscuits and corn bread.

The food here is unlimited and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. The breakfast buffet (which runs from 7-11 a.m. on weekdays) is just $8.88.

The weekend brunch buffet (from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.) is $11.39. Sidle up to the weekday lunch buffet (from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.) for just $9.58 and the dinner buffet (every night until close) is $11.68.

And each weekday you'll find a different special. Come in on Monday for the sausage, kraut and fried okra, Tuesday for the chicken, dumplings and stewed tomatoes, Wednesday for liver with onions and greens, Thursday for salmon croquets and sweet potatoes or Friday for their meatloaf and cabbage.

No matter what meal you dig into, be sure to grab dessert!

And then, make plans for your next trip into the restaurant.
