The bourbon balls are to die for! The place is quite quaint and we got to get a tour So I must say we didnt barely spend any time in the production room which is where the majority of stuff happens and I really wanted to see...... That was the one and only downside to which is completely covered up once you try a piece of chocolate.

Fun experience on how chocolate is made. Loved that a lot of the original equipment is still present and operational. Wide variety of different chocolates, it was difficult picking the ones I wanted to take home.

Delicious candy. Friendly team. I ended up with a small box of assorted chocolates. The Charlies are caramel and cashews in milk chocolate. Yum! Tours are back on Monday to Thursday.

Rebecca-Ruth, I want more and more chocolates and candies!! I fell in love here with your bourbon balls. Should I feel guilty if I ate the whole box on the flight home? Well I don’t!! Thanks for hooking me up with all the goodness.

Real Bourbon Balls, really Great Bourbon Balls. The best place in Kentucky to get Bourbon Balls. If you want the original and you want the best Bourbon Balls, Rebecca Ruths is the best!

Best Chocolate Covered Bourbon Balls anywhere. The other treats are pretty good, too. Friendly staff working the shop are ready and willing to help you find exactly what you need. Plenty of parking available. Be sure to ask about a bag of “Boo Boos.”

A great little iconic candy store With some awesome tasty treats you can even take a tour and see how the candy is made there is also a small Lite bite Cafe on site. I recommend this as a nice little they stop on your way to or from Louisville or Lexington or anywhere in between.

Overpriced for the tour. The girl that led the tour had only been working there a short time. When asked how long they had been at this location, she said she didnt know about anyone else but, she had been working there since spring. The candy was good but over priced for the quanity.

Amazing to see how so few people can make so many delectable chocolates. We spent about $50 for a pound and half of various flavors and types of candies. The tour was educational on both history and the processing of cocoa. Also had a variety of antique equipment (some still in use).

Nice hostess...was given a complimentary Bourbon Ball which was one of the BEST I ever had...not overpowering like some bourbon balls. Didnt take the tour because it was getting late, but I understand they have a restaurant in the building where the chef cooks Thai food!!! Sorry I missed that.

They dont have the tours through the candy factory and museum, but they do have video tours of you are still interested in the history of the place. They always have the best candies and chocolates. The bourbon balls are the best though. If you dont care about looks and are just looking for the best tasting bourbon balls, ask for the Boo-Boo bags. They are cheaper and taste just as good.

Worth the trip! Small, quaint, friendly- only complaint I got from those receiving their candy as a gift: I should have bought more. We took the tour and enjoyed seeing the humble staff and good ole American small business success and how they overcame adversity through determination and creativity. Great product, also surprised to find a souvenir shop too! This was our first trip to Kentucky, hope it’s not our last.

Very cool place to tour, especially if you love history and chocolate. Kudos to our tour guide, Madeline. She was friendly, interactive and extremely knowledgeable. I believe she should be considered for a lead role, if ever The Life of Rebecca Ruth becomes a Hallmark or Lifetime Movie 😉

My wife and I was driving through Kentucky and seen the sign for Rebecca Ruths candy. We needed to stretch and figured this would be a good place to visit. So glad we went. Excellent chocolates sold here and staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely visit again when driving this way and would recommend to anyone passing by .

We are on vacation when we drove by and saw the sign for Bourbon Candy. I insisted we stop and I’m so glad we did. The woman working inside was such a delight and told us the history of the candy store. I’m so glad we stopped and Can’t wait to eat all the sweets!

Very friendly staff, as you walk in your nose is treated to the fantastic aromas from the kitchen, if you can make it past that with out an over indulgence you enter the candy shop. Wow, if you like chocolate you should just bring your sleeping bag and camp out. The bourbon ball is like a little shot with dark chocolate and a pecan finish. Didnt I say the chocolate was great?

The candy is great. Some of the best bourbon balls in Kentucky. But if you’re looking for something fun to do with the family, I’d look into other options as the tour isn’t that exciting.

Review №73

They do not give tours within 4 days of a holiday and if you do come for a tour on the weekend not within 4 days of a holiday, the factory is actually shut down - so ‘you’re not missing much,’ as stated by one of the employees. Neither of these details were stated on their website and we drove 40 minutes out of our way to take a tour with our kids. The girls behind the counter were nice and the candy was pretty good, but overall we were disappointed with our experience here.

Visited for my annual Valentines Day candy for my wife and was very pleased to discover Miss Risas restaurant in the area opposite the candy counter. What a wonderful find! I had her red chicken curry with butter squash, lime leaf, fish sauce, and more. Absolutely delicious! As good or better than anything Ive had at the Thai Kitchen in Frankfort.

Interesting story of the company. They quit making candy at about 3pm, so we didnt get to see them actually making it. That information would have been nice to know, since the information online just says they close at 5:30. Great candy though, so it was worth the trip.

Anytime I am in Frankfort I try to stop by for a boo-boo bag. Those are candies that dont quite make the cut, so theyre sold at a good discount. The flavors are the same, but you save some money.Today I took my father in law to get some candies. We had lunch and it was amazing. I got the chicken Thai curry and it was affordable and fantastic. I need to come to Frankfort more often!

Our tour guide was an absolute HOOT. He made it so much fun and the tour information was very fascinating. Also, you got a free bourbon ball at the end of the tour, how could you go wrong? We ended up taking two dozens of candy home with us that day. I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out!

The candy was delicious!!! We stopped over on our way home to NC and it was well worth it. We did the tour and the woman showed us the factory and told us the story of the company. She was very informative and knew the history and equipment well. Next time we drive through we’ll have to pay you guys a visit again. Great family business!!

A quirky and different place to go when your entertaining people whove been to one too many distillery tours but still want to see something related to our bourbon industry.Its actually pretty amazing to see how tiny the manufacturing area is and realize how much product they produce there. Fun tasting of candy included in the tour and lots of buying choices for gifts or for yourself.Its a short tour but our guide was good and had a good deal of knowledge to share.

I worked here all summer. I just want to say it is the most amazing first job a teen could ask for. So flexible, caring associates, and great candy! The orange creams are to die for and the chocolate covered creamed pulled candy is superb. I recommend everybody who come near Frankfort to go out of their way to visit Rebecca Ruth! You will not be disappointed by the history, tours, candy, staff, or cleanliness!

We were introduced to Rebecca Ruth Bourbon Balls in our hotel guest bag. We decided to visit the shop because we love anything bourbon. It was a quaint little shop in downtown Frankfort not far from the Capitol Building. I fell in love with the antique front door immediately. We didnt have time for a tour, but will definitely call ahead to schedule one when the kitchen is in production. They had a survey to fill out on the guest sign in table for a free sample for filling it out. Worth the time to do that. We tried the Moonshine Apple Pie bonbon. Even their assorted Boo Boo bag is worth the visit. We will return in the future.

I visited here in the middle of a road trip. I was expecting more, larger building and a guided tour, but it was still fun. My son and I had a good time looking around at the candy and reading about some of the history of the candy maker. The staff were nice and very helpful. We had a good time.

Here lies the story of where bourbon balls were invented! Its a great stop, with one epic assortment of homemade candies! Loved the service, and if you go ask for Stephanie, because she was simply the BEST! Chocolate covered cherries, or the maple butter covered in chocolate, even chocolate horses....Stop here for some rich RICH Kentucky history and take home a lot when you go!

Review №98

Delicious candies! And its really cool to see how its made. The staff is nice and accommodating. They have different kinds of candies than Ive heard of before, like pulled candies that taste like dinner mints (that creamy, almost powdery texture) but not mint flavored. The marshmallows covered with caramel are DELICIOUS! The chocolates remind me of a more delicious version of Hersheys chocolate. Ill probably order my sweets from them (I live in TX), so itll limit my intake of sweets but be OH so good!
