18 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Louisville

“Rat's Woodshack catered my father's birthday party. The food was DELICIOUS! And they were great to work with, making sure there was plenty for everyone and the set up and clean up were a breeze!“

“I ordered online for take away and I stupidly got the time wrong for the pick up. I called and they were so helpful and changed the pick up time to a later time with no hassle or stress, which was very appreciated since this was for a birthday party. The food was delicious and the pick up was quick and easy!“

“Incredible BBQ! Glad to have them open again!“

“Delicious pulled pork, Mac &cheese, and baked beans are best I ever tasted. These folks are friendly and service is very good. Makes me hungry thinking about it!“

“Brother BBQ is one of those places that reminds you why BBQ matters. The hot links are outstanding. Juicy, smoky, and actually have some attitude. The brisket is exactly what you want it to be. Tender, flavorful, no sauce needed but you’ll probably use it anyway (I love their sweet sauce) . The chicken somehow manages to stay moist while still tasting like it came off a real pit, which is rarer than it should be.
Sides don’t phone it in either. The mashed potatoes are straight-up addictive (we often order a full pint for 2 people, LOL) and the mac and cheese is rich, creamy, and dangerously easy to demolish without realizing what you’ve done.
If you’re even remotely serious about BBQ, do yourself a favor and get over there. This is consistently some of the best BBQ in town, not hype-of-the-week nonsense. Try it once and you’ll understand why people keep coming back.“

“I cannot stress enough how incredible Moe's Orginal BBQ-Boulder truly is! For the last few months, I have been assisting my niece with her recent wedding as she lives in GA and the wedding was here in Boulder. From day one, everything that could go wrong - did go wrong. I worked with Alex, the manager, the whole time and I'm telling you - this guy is amazing!! Not only did he adapt to the changes, he adapted in a manner that was helpful and much needed. Alex and his team went out of their way to make my niece's wedding dinner incredible and it was greatly appreciated. The entire staff at Moe's Original BBQ-Boulder are friendly, professional, accomodating and just amazing to work with and be around. If you ever need a BBQ Caterer - call them - you'll get everything you need/want at awesome prices and great food but more importantly you're going to receive the highest of quality in customer service. And that's something you can't beat. So thank you Alex, and team, at Moe's Original BBQ-Boulder for making my niece's wedding dinner amazing. You are appreciated!!“

“My daughter, her boyfriend, and I had the pleasure of dining here recently for the first time, and from start to finish, everything was exceptional. There wasn't a single dish we ordered that we didn’t love. The meats were incredibly fresh and flavorful, and the sides were absolutely delicious, each one complemented the meal perfectly. The cucumber salad was my favorite and both my daughter and her boyfriend ordered the Mac and cheese and it was the topic of conversation at our table. They loved it!!!!

The service was warm and attentive. The atmosphere was just as enjoyable welcoming, relaxed, and well-suited for a great evening out.

We left completely satisfied and already talking about coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Chris was the best bartender I've had in a long while! He was personable, quick, attentive and made some killer drinks! Food was delicious as well. All great recommendations from Chris. Cool vibe, switched to the games we wanted to watch. The guy made us feel like family, and we will be back very soon!!!“

“Lot que has the BEST bbq in the area! The brisket, turkey & burnt ends are my absolute favorite! The beans are full of flavor and delicious, and the casserole is not to be missed! Highly recommend for take out, or my favorite option which is to dine in at Lot One and order some bbq to go with it.“

“The best Chinese food I’ve had in Colorado, no question. It’s super authentic and tastes home made. The portions and prices are great as well as the service, have been going here the past 4 years and it still tastes just as good. Definitely not a place to dine in but to grab and go“

“I am so excited to have found this place.

Their selection of beers, non-alcoholic drinks, and food blew me away. There is something here for everyone.

Incredible seating outside with view of the nearby pond.

The inside has not one, but two bars and feels like the kind of place you can just talk to people around you and bond over the variety of drinks offered.

I love the fact that they have a little gift shop, with a massive selection of their beers in multiple tiers.

This is definitely now a favorite stop for me, without hesitation.“

“Ben and Lindsay are dedicated, amazing, and love what they do!“

“Uncle Henry’s continues to fire on all cylinders, maintaining its place as the best fresh, authentic Szechuan/fresh roasted duck & pork Restaurant in the north suburban area. Every dish we’ve tried for more than a year has been richly flavored, well executed, and served at an ideal temperature. The husband & wife team who run the place are gifted chefs, as well as friendly, helpful, and very hard working, as is the rest of the small staff. This storefront restaurant has now become solidly and regularly very busy, which it well deserves. Try it, and try multiple dishes on and off the menu. These folks are running a top small restaurant, and their success is based on all the right things. Kudos to the Westminster Uncle Henry’s!“

“No frill location with generous portions and pretty solid flavor. I'm a Hawaiian Mac salad snob, and L&L brings it, creamy and just a bit sweet.

Hawaiian fast food has taken off the last few years and it's nice to see we've got another good spot to choose from.“

“I really enjoy this smaller ticked away Dickey’s restaurant. Always clean, kind and I think better than most“

“Great service Took my mom there tonight for dinner and the our waiter John was amazing he was attentive friendly cute helpful fast. Comped our potato skins cause of the wait which wasn’t that bad, he had to go boxes ready without asking refills, even lids for the butter and sauces. He helped with a gift card even gave me a quarter to help scratch off the pin number on the back. He was busting his butt all night we were impressed with his attitude“
