    Pretty good ribs, although I like a little less liquid smoke taste on my BBQ. Beans and fries were hot and tasty.

    OMG after a year searching for a barbecue restaurant with the brisket that will make your mouth…read morewater. We finally found one now we're from Arizona and Caldwell's was our favorite restaurant specially for the brisket. Well, the blue door smokehouse in Lexington Kentucky is right up there with Caldwell's in Arizona. It's delicious blue doors brisket will knock your socks off. You can get it either lean or you can have a fatty their side dishes are delicious along with their pulled pork and pulled chicken. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you haven't gone here they have a special or you get all five meats for $27 and then you can get your side to go along with it. It's more than enough for 2 to 3 people to eat and it's delicious. We finally found a barbecue. So these people, some love because they deserve it. The service is excellent very quick very hospitable. Everything was wonderful. You can eat inside or outside all the barbecue sauces are on the table so you can use as much or as little as you want but honestly, this meat does not need barbecue sauce. That is a side of a really good barbecue place is not to have the sauce your meat so go

Two choices for coleslaw, either vinegar based or creamy based. Pickles on the side with a sweet seasoning blend was a nice touch (I love pickles!) Pulled pork was excellent, tender, juicy and flavorful on its own. Unfortunately I found the brisket to be dry. My friend ordered the ribs and said they were excellent. Three bbq sauce choices, sweet, spicy or tangy. They all were kind of similar to me, although the sweet was sweet and the tangy was tangy; the spicy tasted like a combo of the other two. We went around 3pm on a Saturday and the wait was not long. Counter ordering & they bring food to your table. Nice outdoor seating with umbrella coverage. We had a group of 8 and were seated comfortably outside. Also bonus there's an ice cream shop next door. Generous portion sizes, great for a group, overall a nice experience & atmosphere, but not one to glow about.

You can basically seat yourself and ordering was easy at a walk-up counter. This place would be a lot of fun in the evening with friends and drinks. For two of us, I ordered ala cart items, pulled pork (pork butt), Spicy Smoked Sausage, Mac Daddy Mac n Cheese, Pit Baked Beans, and we got some collard greens for free. We had three types of BBQ sauce; Smokehouse JuJu, Bourbon Brown Sugar, and Kansas City BBQ. Honestly, it was hard to tell them apart from each other. The pulled pork was good but a little dry. Glad we had sauce for it. The sausage had a nice touch with some cheese chunks inside. That was new to me. It did have a spicy kick to it. The baked beans were spice too. My daughter said the Mac n Cheese was the best she had ever had. Ever!

The pulled pork was dry and crispy, like carnitas. The turkey was decent and the only stars were the delicious jalapeño cheddar sausage and the friendly and helpful staff!!!! Definitely not worth the price point. So bummed. Love Fieri's other restaurants, but damn...this was a let down.

    I've never gone wrong with Against the Grain! I came here for Louisville burger week wanting to try…read moreas many different places as I could. I was stoked to see AtG on the participant list. I got the burger in special, the Dirty Burger. Pretty standard burger dressed with their "not so secret" sauce and fancy pickle. Super solid, very well executed. In the words of Samuel L. Jackson, this is a tasty burger! The location is pretty tough to beat with how convenient it is, and how close it is to all downtown has to offer. The atmosphere is industrial but relaxed. The staff was so wonderful and personable. Will definitely be back!

Baseball and a hotdog go hand and hand! We got to the restaurant and searched from the top to the bottom, from the front to the back for the Chili dog and it was nowhere to be found on the menu. The waitress informed us they changed the menu a few months ago. Update the website please!! He was so disappointed that he only ordered fries to eat. I ordered the brunch burger. I love eggs but hate a runny yolk. I informed our server and watched her customized my burger (fry the egg hard please). As soon as the burger arrived, I knew I wasn't going to eat it. There was runny yolk on the side (gag reflex). I informed our waitress who was very apologetic about it. She asked the kitchen and they said they would remake it, but I opted for another burger (le sigh). Because they were so busy and hadn't started making my order, we just decided to pay for our drinks eat somewhere else after the game. The server was great, but our experience wasn't.
