Our food was delicious. Some places smoked foods taste like chemicals or liquid smoke additive. Their food was authentic tasting, and the meat was tender and not dry!! The barbecue sauce tasted homemade, and I think they may make it in the house. Macaroni and cheese was wonderful! The bartender, Chris, was very helpful and super nice. The old fashion was a little too easy to drink-that could be dangerous! We will be back

Great happy hour deals and yummy brisket sandwich and sides. Alec was a very attentive and nice server and the bartender was very nice too. Cute patio facing Frankfort Avenue and a back patio under construction.

Stumbled on this place for first time looking for just a beer and so glad we did. Our go-to BBQ place is up the road at FABD but this BBQ is upscale but cozy, with a definite bourbon vibe and affordable. Even the sauce was bourbon infused & excellent. We will definately be back for dinner to try the ribs & brisket which looked awesome at another table. We snacked on jumbo smoke wings & much better than FABD. PBR , 16 oz $3 and many craft beer specials. Great atmosphere & friendly service. Even the Chef brings out the food which you can tell he loves making it. Salute

My wife found the smokery on Facebook. She was excited to give this place a shot. We drove the hour to give it a try. It was $0.99 wing night. We became with 10 wings ( smoked then chared on a grill). We had the half rack of ribs, Mac and cheese, onion rings, a brisket taco, pulled pork slider, and an order of tiramisu for dessert. The food was really good. The BBQ ribs were meat, a light rub and a lot of smoke. The brisket and pork were tasty. This is a smoke heavy style of bbq.

Checked out this place for Louisville wing week, and not a bad place or location…. but when it takes over an hour to get 12 wings thats an issue. Very gooood wings, very good…. place is very under-staffed. Bartender was taking care of the bar and like 7 tables behind me… that guy needs a raise $$! Very good food but I could have left, went to Kroger… cooked wings and came back and my order would still have not been up. I’ll try again next year (…maybe) good food 4 sure but service is 70% of the reason people eat out.

So glad we found this place. We traveled into the Louisville area to spend the weekend exploring the local distilleries and cuisine. Very happy we found The Smokery. It was so good we ate there twice. The dry rub used on the wings is excellent. The brisket tacos are a must.

We stopped in for a quick meal today. Pleasantly surprised! We ordered the brunch tacos and they were pretty darn good. The bar keep, Andrew (I hope I got your name right 🙂 was great. Very attentive and just a cool guy to talk to. We also got a pineapple-mango margarita and it did not disappoint. Definitely give this place a try if you’re in the area.

I would like to be able to give this place a fair rating, but I really can’t. We were told there would be a 45 min wait to get our food. That’s fine. Place isn’t that old and they were busy. Person that sat us went and got us water and our first beer saying they would have someone take our order as soon as they could. Several minutes after finishing first drink I went to the bar to get a second round and was almost ignored. Finished second beer, and at this point it had been 45 mins, and no one has came to table to even take our order. Place looked disorganized with people writing on napkins and dropping things. Everyone was friendly. Maybe it was a bad night. I don’t know but it is unacceptable to sit at a table for 45 mins without a visit from a waiter or bartender to take order.

Good new BBQ place in Clifton with some great happy hour deals. Brisket and Mac and cheese were excellent. Pork was good, wings were decent but not as good as Momma’s Mustards. Great service – I’ll be back!
