We had this barbecue place cater our wedding and were really looking forward to the food. We were charged $980 for 50 people at a rate of $16.99 per person. While the food itself was good, the amount we received did not match what we were expecting for that price and number of guests.
We were given:
A small tray of brisket A larger tray of pulled chicken Buns Two trays of mac and cheese Two trays of baked beans. Barbecue sauce
This was not enough to serve 50 people, and we ran out of food sooner than expected. I don’t understand how the portions were calculated, and im still hoping for some clarification. There’s no way this was $900 worth of food.
I wanted to share this so others are aware and can ask detailed questions ahead of time. Again, the food was good — we just expected more given the price and headcount.
The Dynamo
Went here yesterday for the first time on a recommendation, I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in, nothing fancy, but large and can accommodate many people. The service was pretty good. The food was quite excellent, but it was a bit cold. I really like the sides they were excellent, especially the macaroni and cheese. Recommendations to the owner, make sure that waitresses dry off the table after wiping it down with a rag, nobody wants to sit at a wet table.

Picked up lunch from Family BBQ in Bardstown for the office today, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Every item was on point—delicious, flavorful, and packed with such care that it made serving a breeze.
The customer service truly stood out. The lady at the counter, who I believe was either the manager or the owner, was incredibly sweet and welcoming. She even had most of my order memorized without needing to look at my list—talk about efficiency and attention to detail!
On a separate occasion, I asked for a lean cut of brisket, and they delivered perfection. The meat was both lean and incredibly juicy—absolutely beautiful and delicious. You can tell they put pride into every detail, from preparation to presentation.
It’s rare to find a place where the food and service are equally amazing, but Family BBQ nails it every time. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and an exceptional experience. Will definitely be back!

I picked up so I can’t rate the service. The young lady at the counter was sweet. The place was very clean. The brisket was some of the best I have ever had. I wish I had ordered a pound. The ribs fall off the bone and were great. The cole slaw was good and refreshing. The Mac and cheese was creamy and rich. I did not love the potato salad. But I am really picky about that. I ate it my husband enjoyed it. I wish we had tried them sooner. I really want a pound of brisket now!! So good !

I got a 1/2 rib plate with two sides today.I also got banana pudding. For the price I paid I thought my food would be good.My ribs tasted old and hard. My banana pudding was mostly pudding with watered whip cream on the top.

I stopped in on a Friday night and they had live music playing and the waitress and staff were very attentive to helping and making my dinner the best. We ordered the ribs and also a brisket nachos and both were very good! And the ribs you didn’t need a knife to cut them! Very good smoke flavors with the right char and the sauce was so good!
Food was decent but small portions, mash potatoes are instant and not great. Overall it was ok for a one time visit.

Nice big restaurant area, clean and Maci's terrific service and the Delicious food. I recommend the Brisket Quesadilla and the Brisket Sandwich with the Sweet BBQ sauce. It was an excellent stop after a Long day and some Bourbon tasting in the area.

We had to pick up some farm equipment and supplements here in Bardstown so we decided to try Family BBQ. I had the pulled pork sandwich with seasoned fries and Mac n cheese and my wife had a huge loaded baked potatoes. The food was very good and the service was great! I highly recommend trying this place if you’re in the area.

Amazing food with that smoky taste that we were looking for! Ribs, mashed patatoes and gravy was a hit! Lisa and her family welcomed us like their own.
