Such a cute restaurant! The staff was amazing and super helpful. Loved the spinach and artichoke bruschetta!

First time visit and we were very satisfied. All of our food was made to a 5 star level and the service folks were friendly and efficient. The Hot Brown was very tasty, probably one of the top 3 Hot Brown's I have ever had. Well done and clean interior. A glance at the kitchen prep area as I went to the restroom also made me feel comfortable. Will go back soon or will use for special occasions with my spouse and another couple.

Our party of 8 was impressed. This place reminded me of the best inns/taverns in New England. It had a solid menu with an option for everyone. Food was well prepared and delicious. The Old Fashioneds did the Kentucky bourbon proud. Service was excellent. The Bell House was an unexpected pleasure in a small town.

This place has some delicious food and drinks. The service is awesome. The place is always clean and the food is always delicious. Always enjoy eating local.

I felt like I walked into a Hallmark movie A picture perfect spot in the heart of Shelbyville, Ky!! My sweet husband brought me here as a belated birthday dinner, and I was truly so impressed by the whole experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was incredible. Everyone was so friendly and kind. The Christmas decor made the inside all the more beautiful. The vintage decor is lovely. The star of the show was the spinach and artichoke dip appetizer!! We also got the bruschetta which was incredible. The surf + turf meal was cooked to perfection and the herb roasted potatoes and asparagus that came with it were just to die for. My husband got the Henry Bain Porkloin and raved about it. To end off the meal we ordered crème brûlée and the chocolate cake. They were both really good but that chocolate cake.... I want it for every celebration forever!! Last but certainly not to be forgotten - The drinks we got at the start of the night were reasonably priced and so yummy! We cannot wait for another date night here. 10000% give this little spot a try.

Beautiful historic home transformed into a quaint restaurant with a neat history to it. Had a hard time finding parking so had to drive around for a bit. They do have parking behind the building which is where we ended up parking. Waiting for a bit to be seated because we didn't have reservations so reservations are definitely recommended. Our server was top notch. Sat on the patio which can get kind of warm so if you like a/c, request to be seated in the main dining area. The food was phenomenal. Definitely recommend if you're in the area. Just make reservations.

The Bell House Restaurant has so much character; I love the old historic home and the furnishings. We did not make reservations, but were able to still get seated. I ordered the Kentucky Hot Brown, and it was delicious! Service was quick, and everything tasted homemade. They had a brunch menu and tons of sandwich / soup combinations. The chef came out a few times to check on us and told us all the desserts are made in house too.

Was in the Bluegrass state and like any American I was looking for a classic Kentucky hot brown. You can't be in Kentucky and not stop for one. Seen the reviews and it was close so off to The Bell House we went. The restaurant is an elegantly restored home with a casual atmosphere. The service started out slow but got better as we went along. I started with the soup of the day "Lobster Bisque". It was splendid and full off flavor, but not overly fishy. Next on for what we came for the "Classic Kentucky Hot Brown". It came to the table bubbling hot so I couldn't dive in right away due to the extreme temperature of the food. The presentation of the dish was good and made it look delicious. Once it cooled down and I was able to taste it. I was happy we came. Not all hot browns are created equal and this one proved that point. I would recommend the hot brown and the Bell house to all that pass. It's a must stop and eat place.

Stopped in for brunch at The Bellhouse in Shelbyville. It was such a beautiful day we decided to sit outside. Beautiful day with amazing food. The Bellhouse is located on Main Street. They do have parking in the back if you are like me and can't parallel park. The establishment is beautiful. I believe the house was built in 1902. There's a brief history in the front of the menu. It was quite interesting; however, I was so excited to try the brunch special which was Banana Blueberry French Toast. The Brunch menu had something for everyone. I didn't take a pic so I'm going by memory here. They had steak & eggs, breakfast casserole, eggs Benedict, French toast and lobster bisque on their brunch menu. The coffee was exceptional. It was nice to sit outside and enjoy a great cup of coffee while we waited on our food. I must say that I made THE best choice in picking my entree. The Blueberry Banana French Toast was D-I-V-I-N-E. So so good. The French toast was tender and flavorful and served golden brown with a dusting of powdered sugar and dotted with plump blueberries. The banana sauce on the side made me think of my Mom's banana pudding and how she would put a little bit out in a bowl still warm. I loved it. The blueberry sauce was perfect with the smooth and creamy banana sauce. I barely had to use any maple syrup. We also ordered the steak and eggs because we always do a sweet and a savory and swap!!!! It's the best of both worlds. The steak was perfectly seasoned and the potatoes were crispy and delicious. The price is crazy for how good the food is. Seriously with coffee and all that food it was under $35. We will definitely be back. Y'all need to come to Shelbyville and give the Bellhouse Restaurant a visit. She's a beauty.

We came in for dinner on a Wednesday night. I didn't make a reservation and was told that all of the tables inside were taken that night. I was so surprised it would be full on a Wednesday night! But the hostess was so kind and said she would figure something out. She found us a table on their side porch, and we were so appreciative! Our waitress was so nice and friendly! She was very attentive and quick. She even asked a couple people in our party how they liked their Shelby Mules and when they both told her that they thought it was so overpowered with ginger, she said she would take them off the bill. We totally didn't expect that! We had the spinach artichoke crostinis and the pimento risotto cakes as appetizers. Both were very good! I had their dish on special that night which was the shrimp and grits, and the grits were SO tasty! For dessert, I had the apple pie which was also amazing! I definitely want to go back for their brunch!
