Will be ariving at KOA Kampground south of Louisville on Saturday, can you recomend a suitable eatery so we will not look out of place in our (T shirt and jeans) on the road gear. Our plan is to check out the Kentucky countryside and some of the Kentucky Bourbon tour:dance then head on to the MOA Rally.:drink
 
The Maker's Mark distillery near Bardstown is a 'must see' spot on the KY Bourbon Trail. They have a beautiful, picturesque rural setting with historic buildings and give a great tour (which is free IIRC). Definitely worth the trip! :wave
 
Absolutely correct! I was there at leaf time in the fall...driving up that lane into the distillery might just be the most peaceful place I have been! Beeeeutiful..and tastes great too!
 
What type of food/experience are you after?

There are a couple of chain restaurants that are down on the river near downtown. Joes Crab Shack & a mex food restaurant on River Road.

Many outstanding local restaurants with a great number of them up and down Bardstown road area, north of the I-264 loop exit, which is where the previously mentioned Lynn's Paradise Cafe is located. Other favorites up that direction are the Uptown Cafe, Lilly's, & Ramsi's Cafe on the World.

Favorite local restaurant/micro-brewery is called Bluegrass Brewery Company (BBC)

Here is a link to info regarding Louisville eateries. Take a look at the list of Downtown Louisville - Airport Restaurants for those closer to your KOA.

How about Richmond?
I'll be looking for good sit down meal after a full day of riding.

Thanks!
