I’ve passed this Roadside bbq place a few times the last few months and thought I’d stop in today. I was really impressed by their pulled pork sandwich with slaw. If you like a little black pepper kick at the back of the palate I’d suggest getting the spicy sauce. The mild is good and sweet. If your hungry get the sandwich large. The decor is really cool neon signs, an old clock radio, table and chairs from a time long gone by. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I wish I stopped in sooner than I did so I’ll definitely be back.

It’s without a doubt one of the best family-owned BBQ restaurants in Kentucky. They still cook everything the same as when they first opened in the 70’s and have received recognition for their food many times over the years. Their food is great and the setting reminiscent of the 70’s in which they first opened.

Very friendly staff and pretty good food but the star of the show? The hot BBQ sauce! Luckily they sell both, their mild and hot BBQ sauce by the bottle! Yep, that one is going home with me!

I think I just died and went to fresh pork rind heaven! Seriously the best I have ever had. The barbecue is excellent and a fantastic value. A walk out back gives you a chance to see the meat being smoked mid-day in the smokehouse. The milkshakes are excellent and served in the stainless steel mixing cup. Authentic experience all around…

After reading all the raving reviews about how great the food was and the service being awesome… my experience was very lacking. Apparently we came in right at shift change. Our first waitress was welcoming, but after we got our food, we had zero service from her. Our second waitress was trying to get her day going, which I understand. I ordered a pork sandwich and the pork rinds. My husband ordered 2 pork sandwiches at first. (Hear me out on this, I do BBQ and smoked meats myself.) The pork was bland. It had sauce on it, but little to no flavor. My pork rinds had more flavor because they had salt on them. My husband ordered a hotdog as well, after he finished his pork sandwiches. I was not impressed, but it was edible. Just bland. Couldn’t try the beef, they were sold out. Prices were decent.

This place is an absolute gem! The staff was so sweet and welcoming! The menu was reasonably priced and simple, which initially told me it should be great. I wasn’t wrong. The food is fantastic! I had the beef (brisket) sandwich with pork rinds as a side. My husband had a pork plate and my son had a triple cheeseburger (the patties are smallish). Everything was incredible. This northern girl really appreciated the pork rinds, which are house made. They’re way better than anything you might buy at a store. The beef practically melted in my mouth, while the sauces were all very flavorful and delicious. Exceptional! I would go out if my way to come back.

When it comes to pork shoulders, cooked over hickory wood in a traditional pit, this is the place! Simple but delicious pulled pork, sauce. Fries, and slaw. Happy I got to have it twice this week!

We’ve eaten barbque from Texas, to SC and none, at least for us, comes close to this sauce and pork combo here!
