“This is some of the best barbecue food I've had. I came on a Sunday and got the smoked meatloaf, candy yams, Collard greens, and Cornbread meal. Everything was delicious. I ate every last morsel. It's definitely worth coming to and definitely worth recommending.“
“The owner and his staff are very friendly. The restaurant is really clean on the inside. The first time I ordered, I got a rib tip dinner with greens and Mac and cheese. The second time, I only ordered rib tips and one of the staff asked me did I want sides. I told them no because I had sides at home. I let them know that the Mac and cheese was not so great and the owner came out and apologized for that and gave me a free slice of cake to make up. I thought that was really nice of him. He told me that he appreciated my feedback. I still visit every weekend and I get rib tips, greens and potato salad now and a slice of cake but I gotta get it early before it sells out.“
“Easily one of the best BBQ restaurants in the area. The food was absolutely fantastic. The brisket melts in your mouth, the sausage was delicious, and the chicken was so moist and flavorful. The staff are super friendly and take great care of you. I love how they honor US soldiers and safety workers, which creates an unmatched atmosphere. I highly recommend eating here.“
“I discovered the Shepherdsville location yesterday when I was searching for soup for lunch and was in that area. They (their deli) popped up on Yelp and WOW am I glad that I made that stop!! I am always on the lookout for beef tenderloin and other meats at a good prices and found them there. I didn't get one but their meat 'bundles' seem like a great value! They even trimmed up my tenderloin for me and cut it into gorgeous filets! This small, local business is doing it 100% right and it is now my go to meat market. Bye Bye K-word! :-)“

“I've had some great BBQ and I also know my way around the smoker. The place is typical for cool BBQ joints; nice atmosphere, comfortable setting....and incredible scents. My buddy and I showed up for lunch and both decided on the pulled pork plate which also includes two generous helpings of sides. I went with the smokey 'baked' beans and cole slaw. As a huge fan of those two particular sides alongside BBQ, I was pretty impressed with the flavors. The slaw was nice and crunchy and done in a creamy style with large shave pieces of cabbage. Very nice! The beans were as good as any I have ever had. Perfect hickory smoked flavor and as tender as a bean gets.And now for the star of the show.....I would put this pulled pork BBQ against any in this area and quite a few of I can think of down south. I took advantage of the unlabeled (presumably home made) BBQ sauce on the table...wait.....back to that in a sec! So as I'm looking at this whopper sized bun, the pork and spilling over the sides and stacked a few bites deep. A very healthy portion. Typically I take the crown off of the sandwich, grab a fork and take a few bites in to catch all of the effort of long smoking such a delicious cut of meat. Carr's hits BBQ right on the head. PERFECT bark, PERFECT smokey flavor, and PERFECTLY cooked to an unbelievable melt in your mouth experience.Back to the sauce. There was another sauce on the table (this one was yellow)that I didn't try but I will next time. Since it was yellow, I assumed it was a Carolina style BBQ sauce. I LOVE sauces, especially on great BBQ! While the BBQ itself didn't need any help from a sauce, I had to try the red stuff anyway. Let me just say that I would bought a jar right then and there if it had been for sale. The flavor was somewhere between Beale Street in Memphis, and authentic Texas 'twang'. I want more. Now.Yes, Carr's earned my 5th star on the food alone, but it would be unfair not to mention the friendly service and speed of being served (during lunch hour, no less) which was 5-star as well. NICELY DONE CARR'S, I'll be seeing you again very soon!Oh, there's one more thing. The meats at Carr's are locally sourced, so the prices are very, very good. I would have expected to pay at least $17 for so much great food that was truly enough for two sittings, but the total for the two plates and a couple of Big Reds came to just $28. And there you have it.“
“Nine years since I first wrote a review of Feast BBQ! NINE YEARS! Considering how highly my family and I regard Feast BBQ, it's way overdue for an update. And I can sum it all up like this: loaded tots! Get them piled high with pulled pork. The great BBQ + slaw + green onions + tots (obviously) -- these are pure comfort and stick-to-your-ribs goodness. I can't go to Feast and get anything else. But when I want something in addition to the loaded tots, I go for the fried pickles and an Ale-8 bourbon slushie. Feast BBQ also has online ordering, which we use when we order food while at Akasha Brewing next door. It always makes me happy to see the long tables inside this restaurant full of people. I don't want Feast BBQ to go anywhere. It's the best BBQ in Louisville IMO.“
“Found this place by luck, it is literally a whole in the wall from the outside and wifey and I were skeptical, but the staff were inviting and the food, let's just say you do not need the sauce on the ribs, they are very flavorful, the tots and pork, mouth watering, BBQ beans the best I have ever had, street corn is that sh..t. and from what I read they really give back to the community.I'm new to town but I have been a lot of places and this is top 15 enjoy“

“I had always wanted to try Big Ben's and I'm glad I finally did. When I first walked in I was met with a warm welcome and a very down to earth bunch. You can totally tell this is a family run restaurant. The menu was simple enough to understand and not overflowing with too many options. We settled on the Bear's Bear option and it came with plenty to feed 4-5 of us. I loved reading the history that is all over the walls while we waited, which wasn't long, and learned a few things along the way. Now I am actually pretty picky when it comes to greens and eating them anywhere but at my family gatherings as I do not like any type of canned greens and usually thats what I'm presented with when I dare to order them from a restaurant. I chose to dare this day, however, because the gentleman behind the counter response when asked if they were fresh or canned was how I had almost given him a heart attack at the idea that they would even think to use canned and utter shock at the audacity to even need to ask. So I was sold and man was I not disappointed. These greens were some of the best I have ever had, almost better than my father's! They were cleaned properly, seasoned and cooked beautifully and the taste was the product of someone who knows what they are doing. I did not get any sand or mush just nice hearty leaf after leaf. I will definitely be back for more. We also had rib and rib tips which were both cooked properly and had a nice solid smoke mark present in every piece. They still were capable of staying on the bone yet we weren't playing tug a war trying to get a bite. We were given plenty of BBQ sauce on the side which meant we go as light or heavy as we wanted. The potato salad was Good and had that homemade type of look and taste to them that just took me back to those family gatherings I went to as a kid. I snapped a picture of my plate after I finished most of my greens because I never intended to write a review but I wanted to have proof that I actually ate and enjoyed greens from a restaurant cause my family knows I do not play around when it comes to the quality a thing of greens has to have to make it on and off my plate“
“Legendary. This food is prepared with dedication. This is a family of people that love each other live in the community have been here I appreciate them. I'm not going to say nothing about the menu You got to go there for yourself and try this barbecue Thank me later. Thank you guys see you soon.Parking: It's a squeeze. well worth it!“
“My favorite BBQ joint. I love their Mac n cheese, baked beans, and the tater salad. Also great bbq sauce. Friendly service always. Great quick and delicious option for lunch or dinner. They even have a drive through option. I also like knowing the meat is coming from a family farm and the animals are well taken care of. Can't wait for them to cater our wedding!“
