   Great service and food, as always. Cute atmosphere with friendly service. The brisket was great and the wings were tender and juicy. Love this place!

   I truly believe this is the Best Barbecue food I’ve had in Louisville KY. The wings were very tender and the bourbon barbecue sauce was to die for. My wife had the ribs and they were the best hands down. Will definitely return and thank you for your hospitality 🙏🏻

   I’m new to Kentucky and decided to venture out of my norm and try some barbecue. I didn’t grow up eating a ton of meat and never really liked the idea of bbq. However, this place has completely changed my mind. First off, the smoked wings are out of this world. And for someone who doesn’t like wings I can attest that these will blow your mind. The bread and butter for me is their brisket. Be it a brisket taco or the sandwich it is simply irresistible. You’ll be craving this stuff every day. The service was phenomenal between both servers taking care of us to ensure a pleasant experience, the incredible chef (Giovanni) and the wonderful owner (Andrew). The bartender makes a killer smoked old fashion and their pineapple margaritas are the icing on the cake. Great music, great vibes, total ambience paired with great conversations- this place is it! I am a forever fan! Ps. I managed to snag a shot of the wings but inhaled the rest of my food before I could take a pic lol. Just trust me, go try them for yourselves.

   It was the best barbecue we have had in Louisville. I had the ribs and the Gouda Mac was steaming, hot and delicious.  My wife tried the brisket and I had a pie and it was so delicious. It melted in my mouth. The staff was very friendly and very professional. I can’t wait to go back again I’m so glad that they are here and they are a new place. I know they are pretty new.  I love the ambience and the bourbon barrel walls that they have on the inside of the bar is really nice also.

   The server was very nice. The burger was way over cooked. The pork and brisket were both good, brisket sandwich portion was small. The wait staff was however very accommodating.

    My son , his fiancé and myself wanted to try something new for my mother’s day dinner. Boy did we try something new….The food was foul, cold and overall horrible. I took one bite of my wagyu burger and it tasted horrible. The waiter asked if it was like vinegar because vinegar could have spilled on the burger. I am not sure how or why, but yes it was foul tasting like vinegar. He took it away. lMy mac and cheese was cold and the added brisket was cold, over cooked, and bland. Waiter stated that the noodles are premade and cheese is warmed and put over the noodles and all brisket gets reheated.. rHe took it away, when he came back said he couldn’t find the chef to tell him and that he maybe in a mood anyway…. He never brought any food back and charged me full priced. We walked outside, to leave, the waiter comes out to tell me next time he would give me a credit…there will be no next time.

    Nice end of the night meal; not too heavy, just enough and the service was impeccable. The smoke area was a huge turn off and not able to enjoy the outside seating because of it.

    Party of 6, this was the worst BBQ we’ve all ever had. The Nachos were just chips on a plate, every single thing we preferred was not good. The lobster Mac and Cheese was somehow fishy. And it took an hour to get out food. Was a very odd experience.

    Left a factual review on Yelp about what a bad experience it was, and a Michael P,, business manager posted that I was a competitor trying to defame the business. Not true and a scammy /slimy way to handle a bad review. Ribs had a strong smoke taste, not smokey like they should be, a dry just smoke favor and dry. Gouda mac and cheese blah. Brisket was moist, however void of much flavor. No sweet option for bbq, and mild was quite hot imo. Gave most of my lunch to my husband as it wasn't worth eating. Onion rings appeared to be standard frozen. Oh, and be prepared to be told repeatedly that they have a former Chef from Lemoo who cooked expensive steaks. And if you have any face to face feedback, they'll tell you 999 out of a thousand love it. Hi, it's me, number 1k. Oh, and im still not a competitor, as accused, live up to bad reviews, I'm sure there will be more. I was also sent a private message from this michael p through stating that I was a very rude lady and should be ashamed of myself. For leaving a review? Handle criticism much?

    We were seated in the “back room” with the bourbon staves. Very cool, although the lighting was a bit harsh and the seating was folding chairs. The smoked meat smell hits you right away, which I thought smelled delicious. I had the wagyu burger and it was outstanding. Paired with their Mac n cheese, which also was amazing. Hubby had the chicken tacos and others in our group did wings and the brisket. Brisket seemed to be the only meal that got a “meh, it was ok”. Surprising bc everyone else raved about their meal. Fairly extensive beer list. All in all, great meal and we will be back.

    We went here for an out of the way meal. The service was very quick and the food was delicious. We had the brisket sandwich without the bun, the brisket was nice and tender and this is coming from a picky Texan. Look forward to visiting again in the future.
