150 Quick Stop Jake's Sausage — Local services in Bardstown

I parked there yesterday (2/6/25) in my semi without realizing I was at the ' truck stop' that has parking..( by permit only which I believe is a way to screw their neighbors at $25 per day ..so much for southern hospitality).. I did not pay nor was I asked to . In my defense the road to this place going west is very narrow ( coming from Lexington to Bardstown) and it was raining so I was happy to be able to find somewhere to park as I wasn't on an interstate with major truck stops or even a ramp to park on .

That being said ( I am giving 3 stars for that fact .. I did see the. $25 a day sign in the morning but I wasn't going to offer up anything because I was going to leave.. but I felt bad because I'd seen the reviews of their attitude towards otr drivers beforehand and didn't realize I'd parked on their property..

So I decided to go in and patronize their establishment. They do have a decent selection of hot foods available in the morning and their pork sausage is sold in various local stores so I bought a pound of it which I've yet to cook ... But that's not what I'm leaving the review.

TEACH YOUR COOK HOW TO COOK PORK PRODUCTS AND CHECK THE TEMPERATURE BEFORE SELLING UNDERCOOKED MEAT ( I ate 3 bites of their sausage/egg/cheese croissant sandwich) before seeing the meat was a solid PINK inside...

It's not that damn hard to take a meat thermometer and poke a patty ..

I realize you as an owner who really dgof what otr drivers care because well you want them to stop and fuel and buy whatever you're selling and LEAVE as fast as possible so you can stick it to your neighbors.. ( shame on you btw) unless you're picking up whatever you stock in your busy store . It's because of drivers like myself you've got a living..

I hate places that are greedy and want to charge for taking up 65ft of dirt/asphalt/concrete for 10 hrs at a pop ..

But they want $100's of dollars to make themselves live the American dream...

You're welcome you ungrateful should be ashamed of yourselves to try to make a buck off of hardworking drivers just trying to make a living and keeping you in business to make your dreams come true ..

And if you reply. . that permit BS is all you .. it's greed and nothing more.

I'll ditch my truck before I ever stop there again.. because I don't want to die because I vomited while driving after getting food poisoning after eating UNDERCOOKED PORK...

What an amazing find. I read an article about this place from an online magazine. The article was about the best sausage biscuit in America. This place surpassed the hype, if you can believe that. Now, I’m originally from the hills of North Georgia, where, while growing up, Saturday morning trips to the various biscuit barns was a fact-of-life. And my favorites where always the sausage and cheese biscuits topped with jelly, or homemade plum/pear/fig preserves (when available), or mustard when I wasn’t in the sweet mood. I thought I would never find places like these ever again. (This place doesn’t have jelly preserves or jelly, but they do have mustard)JOY! This place exists and I found it. And it’s a beautiful drive to get to, as well. Just the perfect drive after a morning run through bernhiem forest or the parklands of Floyd’s fork. The picture is of fresh sausage we bought after appreciating our glorious sausage biscuits. the prices are much less than I expected to...

Let me be very clear: this isn’t “good for gas station food.” This is life-altering sausage that just so happens to be sold at 150 Quick Stop. Jake’s hot gut sausage is, without exaggeration, one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. It’s become one of my top autistic-safe foods—reliable, delicious, and blessedly consistent.

Always fresh. Always flavorful. Always tastes like it was made by someone who cares deeply about meat and maybe communes with it on a spiritual level.

The food they make there? Equally stellar. This isn’t just a gas station. It’s a sacred meat temple disguised as a humble convenience store.

The staff are friendly, the vibes are local and cozy, and the sausage is so good it could make an atheist whisper, “Okay… but what if the gods are real and just obsessed with pork?”

If you live in Bardstown and haven’t had Jake’s, I’m worried for you. If you live outside Bardstown, get in the car. You’ve got a...
