18 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Louisville

“y’all, if you’re looking for the highest quality experience in the least assuming place this is IT. after a marathon of a day my partner and i needed some calories and didn’t have the capacity for browsing restaurants and ended up here and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. leslie warmly welcomed our tired souls with good vibes and so kindly helped me with my decision paralysis and directed me to a reviving brisket sandwich and my partner got the carolina and some wings. chris helped us with our decisions, also went out of his way to may us feel warm and fuzzy and built our sandwiches. i was so satisfied i don’t even know what i ordered but it had an onion ring on it and it was literally heaven on a bun. literally if bbq was a religion this is where i would go to worship. if you want quick and absolutely gas food paired with over the top service that makes you feel instantly at home and gets you in and out as quick or slow as you’re hoping you should DEFINITELY hit this spot up. thanks for absolutely making our day we can’t wait to visit again ♥“

“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!“

“I've been eating at Brothers since 2014, and I will continue to eat here. They're truly the best BBQ in Broomfield and every time I go, I am not disappointed. I believe I've probably eaten here at least a hundred meals since 2014, and every time whether it's to go, or dine in, they're great!“

“This BBQ is amazingly good. The meats themselves have a delicious smoked flavor and the sauces add the extra oomph! Best bbq we’ve had hands down. I’d highly recommend this place. The owners are personable and friendly as well.“

“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!“

“Wonderfully little mom and pop Cantonese BBQ spot. I prefer this place over takeaway American Chinese food when I'm hungry in a pinch. I like the Char Shu, Roast Pork, Soy Sauce Chicken, and Spicy Tofu. The owners are very nice, work hard, and serve great food.“

“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 servicers, Matea and Isabella, are knowledgeable and personable. They know their products and when they don't know they ask their coworkers. I am new to lagers, philsners, etc. I am from wine country CA. These gals introduced me to some amazing tasting lagers! I love the three paycheck, aged barrel too. Great time every time. Thank you ladies.“

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

“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.“

“I have been eating here about once a month since they opened this location at Huron and 144th. I usually order a smoked turkey sandwich that comes with one side. The number of sides they offer is amazing and I usually order the smashed loaded potatoes. The potatoes are topped with cheese sauce, sour cream and brisket. It's a must try! Ever since I discovered they have grilled smash burgers I have been ordering that. Splurge and order a double. The beef combination is amazing. I always order a smoked chocolate chip cookie that is smokey, sweet and salty. WOW! They have many desserts, and shakes that you can add alcohol if you like. You order and go through the line and pay at the end. If you eat there they bring it to your table and if it's to go they put everything in a sack for you to take. Everything I've eaten there is delicious.“

“Long review in coming

We recently stopped into Elevated Q for lunch without knowing much about it, and I must say, it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Discovering that it is a locally owned BBQ smokehouse made the experience even better.

From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the new General Manager, Chris, whose friendliness and hospitality immediately stood out. His welcoming demeanor set the tone for the entire visit. The restaurant itself features a well-executed industrial rustic design, creating a comfortable yet stylish atmosphere. The bar seating is especially inviting, with a great view of the TVs, making it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the game.

Chris also proved to be highly knowledgeable behind the bar. He crafted a whiskey drink that was exceptional—so much so that, had it not been lunchtime, we likely would have stayed much longer to try more of his recommendations.

For food, we were introduced to a “secret menu” item: garlic butter buffalo wings. These were outstanding and, in my opinion, deserving of a permanent spot on the menu. The loaded BBQ fries were another highlight—rich, flavorful, and truly satisfying.

I ordered the Pitmaster Platter, featuring pulled pork and jalapeño cheddar sausage. Both meats were well-prepared and enjoyable, though the pulled pork could benefit from a bit more seasoning. The spicy BBQ sauce, however, added a great kick and complemented the dish nicely. My wife chose the loaded baked potato, which was generously portioned and topped with brisket that was incredibly tender—practically melting with each bite.

Overall, Elevated Q clearly knows what it’s doing when it comes to both food and hospitality. As a lighthearted note, Chris did make one “mistake”—he didn’t have the Masters on the big screen—but we’ll let that slide.

We look forward to returning soon. And while we didn’t manage to take photos this time (the food was too good to wait), that just gives us another reason to come back.“

“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.“

“Stopped by The Old Man on a whim yesterday afternoon with my dog and I’m SO glad I did! We grabbed a spot on the patio and the ladies working were seriously incredible. So sweet, welcoming, and just genuinely fun to be around.

They were absolutely running that place!! Somehow on top of everything, making sure everyone was taken care of, and still making you feel like they were genuinely happy to have you there. That kind of service and energy is hard to find and they absolutely made the whole experience.

Food was great, service was amazing, and the atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for. Huge shoutout to the ladies working yesterday- you guys are the best!! Can’t wait to come back!“

“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“

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