By far the BEST bbq ribs I've had in years. Juicy and so flavorful.My reason for 3 stars was the wait for our food. Granted we were seated at 5 pm on a Saturday. But to wait a full hour for our food was a bit disappointing -- especially as those seated after us kept getting their food.Overall the experience was OK. The sweet tea was top notch. The food was a tad pricey but quality was also top notch so spending $76 for two before tip was understandable.We might come back but there are so many good food options in western Kentucky (i.e., Amazin' Blaze Bar-B-Que in Aurora, The Dinner Bell in Benton, Fast Eddie's Bait & Tackle in Benton or Hutchens BBQ in Benton).We had hoped for a better first experience.

The food is great!!Just don't try to call in an order. You will never get through. I hit redial over a 5 minute period 2 separate days and continuous busy tone. Almost as if they just take the phone off the hook so it will stop ringing.Online ordering would be nice

I don’t recommend. I’ve been there 3 times and didn’t like it. Way too overpriced for the quality of food. Serving food on tiny paper plates and $13 for a loaded baked potato, with hardly any meat on it. Waited over an hour for our food this last time. Won’t be going back.
The best loaded bbq baked potato. It's worth the drive.

Food is always great here. The only thing I don' t like is the racket the chairs make several times when they scoot across-the-floor. Food is great, and it's always clean.
I didn't like the food. OK I said it. This may not be popular with people out there but I need to be honest. I had the brisket and my girlfriend had salad topped with chicken. Mine had no flavor and was the worst meat I've seen yet. Brisket isnt a top meat anyway but boy. Then the flavor or the lack of. It seems to me that someone thinks flavor means hot. You know when you are out with your girlfriend, she is going to have you taste her food. Yuck zesty chicken salad shoot it was nothing but flaming red pepper hot. No smokey BBQ flavor that I grew up on. But some are fooled. About 14,000 say they like it. When asked by the owner, did you like it? I responded in my truthful WAY,NO didn't care for it. IF you are looking for true BBQ there are so many more out in Kentucky that know what BBQ is. There is a place down the road on the right before entering Marion, that understands what flavor is.

I am originally from Princeton but have been in Lexington for quite a while. I was visiting family and asked my sister if we could try something different (to me). She suggested Coppertop. BBQ is a go to for me and my husband in Lexington but we both agreed that Coppertop was actually better than any of our go to spots in Lexington. We loved the BBQ sauce so much that we bought some from their store. Highly recommend.
