We enjoyed a Friday evening Dinner Train Excursion on the My Old Kentucky Dinner Train. The experience features a 2 1/2 hour ride on two vintage 1940’s era dining cars pulled by two 1959’s era locomotives. The scenery was varied and beautiful and included an engineer’s view of several distilleries. The assortment of entrees and desserts was delicious and our service was excellent. The portions were very generous and served hot. The dining cars were comfortable and the air conditioners work well so you might bring a jacket.

This is definitely a GREAT experience. Food was phenomenal.. We ordered the prime rib which was tender and full of flavor. Our server Erica was Very personable and provided great service. She was very tentative to our needs and made sure that we were taken care of consistently. The only thing that I would say needed to be improved would be the gift shop. There aren't very many options to choose from and a lot smaller than we all anticipated. Also, in my opinion I felt the side items that come with the entree should be something your able to choose. Some of my family members did get the Marzala Chicken and in their opinion it was a little dry. Overall definitely a great experience and would go back.

The food was outstanding! The staff was friendly and delightful, and the experience was simply incredible! Worth every penny, truly! We got to chat to the engineer afterwards and he was so humble and friendly.

The food was delicious and the entertainment was outstanding. Our server was did an excellent job and I believe her name was Lexie. So many people were dressed like they were on a picnic. Would be nice to see a higher dress code and strictly enforced.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Does a train tour take you to Louisville Kentucky

Bridgette Hess | Mar 7, 2021
My Old Kentucky Dinner Train (Owner) | Mar 8, 2021

Hi Bridgette! The train route does not go to Louisville, but takes you on a journey through the beautiful Kentucky countryside, passing through the Bernheim Forest over a wooden trestle bridge and by famous distilleries such as Four Roses and Jim Beam. I hope that is helpful information, and we hope to see you when it reopens!

what is the concealed carry policy

Lew Judy Sexton | Jan 31, 2021
B K | Feb 1, 2021

I never saw a posted notice or a policy on their website ,plus Kentucky is an open carry and a non permitted conceal carry state. Since there is nothing posted I suppose it's your choice whether to conceal carry.Amtrak bans them unless they're on checked baggage,but that's Amtrak. My opinion is if it isn't posted or a designated federal regulated zone you should be good to go. My friend got me pointed toward Over Under concealed carry vests and jackets. They're very nice and casual looking and they have fast pull pistol slings for easy and fast reaction that one would never know you were packing.
