we haven't been here in a while. we enjoyed ourselves tonight. she ordered the brisket sandwich, a side salad, and hush puppies. she loved the brisket. she asked for it to be "lean" which means they trim off the fat and they cooked it well done as requested. the hush puppies were pretty good. I got the two meat platter. I got the turkey and brisket. both were equally delicious. oh yeah, we both got a side salad but we brought our own salad dressing which was ginger dressing from simply thai. I got their collared greens which were excellent. they give a military discount. a piece of Texas toast came with my meal. it was ok. I took a bite and gave the birds the rest since we were sitting outside. Will return. we took the banana pudding to go. we ate it later and was delicious. now they have their pickles, onions, jalapeños, for your taking. you used to have to ask for them now it's easier to take your own. yummy! read more

Very sad to see paying customers unable to find seats because some woman was setting up an event. A man attempted to sit down and she stopped him because she was going to use that table. Truth, she put her purse on that table. Potato was undercooked and room temperature. Very disappointing visit. read more

Has potential to be really good. Prices are good. Portions were good. We had the 3 meat samplers. One plate was the sausage, ribs and brisket with Mac & cheese and fries. The other was brisket, sausage and pulled pork with baked beans and Mac & cheese. None of the items came out hot. Everything was just warm. The sausage was delicious. Perfectly cooked. Perfect crisp casing on it. Def has a kick. The pulled pork was said to be good. The ribs were dry, not much meat but Smokey in flavor. The brisket was dry and crumbling. Not juicy at all. No elasticity as it should have, just very dry. The fries had no flavor or seasoning just warm potatoes. The baked beans were report to be okay. The Mac and cheese was yummy, could have used a bit of seasoning but still good. I've heard good things about this place so maybe it was just an off night. Will consider trying again read more

City BBQ catered an event that we attended recently. It was hands down the best BBQ meal that I've had in the area! Both the shredded pork and shredded chicken were moist, seasoned perfectly, and delicious! I had the sweet BBQ sauce and loved it! The southern green beans were fabulous and the mac n cheese was yummy too. The best parts were the dill pickle slices and the Banana Cream Pudding. Soooo scrumptious! We were served promptly. The atmosphere was cozy and family friendly. I'll be back for sure! read more

Not my favorite bbq but that doesn't mean it can't be yours! This chain doesn't set itself apart in many ways from other bbq joints. I have met some who find this to be their favorite place though, so take that as you will! To me, the brisket, ribs, chicken, and pork are slightly above average. I wouldn't mind this if the prices weren't as high as they were. You can pay the same and find better bbq all around. That doesn't take away from the amazing staff they have though! The interior is also very nice and modernized for a bbq restaurant! It's not my favorite place but it's not bad either, it's middle of the road and for many that may be just fine! read more

I absolutely love this location. The brisket is always crispy and it's the usual City BBQ quality but what separates it from other City locations are the people. The folks that work here remember my wife, daughter and I to the point that they ask us if we are having the usual and know our order by heart. I work in the alcohol industry and was a restaurant manager many years ago, that level of service is extremely rare these days and nice to know it still exists.

I ate there for dinner Saturday with my children. The chicken was really watery, as in the whole tray was getting wet from the chicken. I don't like complaining so I just ate it. The second thing was I found a bone in my chicken but I didn't say anything. My son started complaining because his brisket was about 80% fat. I told him to just eat the sides. I live maybe 4-5 minutes away. As I was pulling into my neighborhood the food poisoning started. I was sick the rest of the night. It's really disappointing because my family has always had good experiences here. read more

Four of us had an excellent experience for our dinner in Louisville, and besides the food, a lot of that experience was due to our server, Julie. She was great, super friendly and professional, and expertly answered a ton of Bourbon-related questions from my Bourbon loving friend. My wife and I dove into the Southern theme and had a Pulled Pork Sandwich ($16), Southern Colada ($16), Fried Green Tomatoes ($10), and a Southern Gumbo ($10) for dinner. I ordered the Fried Gren Tomatoes to share with the table, and they were wonderful - "Five full moon green tomatoes fried in cornmeal and panko, topped with fresh chives and served with Doc's Remoulade". They were light as a feather, most definitely non-greasy and had a great crunch from the panko and cornmeal. My Southern Gumbo (A hearty stew filled with andouille sausage, chicken and vegetables in savory Cajun broth served over rice. Served with cornbread) was excellent. Great flavor, great spice, plenty of sausage and chicken, and excellent accompaniments in the rice and cornbread. And how could I not mention my Southern Colada, with Michter's US*1 Sour Mash, Pineapple Juice & Coconut. It was quite a bit stronger than any Colada I ever had, but I guess that can be expected when you use an 86-proof small batch Kentucky whiskey in your Colada. Of course, I loved it. This was our second visit to Doc Crow. We were there a few days ago as the first stop on our Louisville food tour and enjoyed a delicious bowl of shrimp and grits. The Doc sure treated us well.

I don't know if this is a thing they do at Doc Crow's, but in my opinion the bartender excessively kept asking me what I wanted even while I was still looking at the menu. This definitely frustrated me since it was clear that I wasn't ready yet. I think she should have done a better job reading my cues to figure out when I am ready to order.

We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

I agree 100%! My favorite was the garage door that opened to a private patio area with games as well as the ability to play music and slideshows throughout. I truly cannot recommend them enough not only for a nice event space but also the food is just delicious!

I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich with fried and green beans. I added a side of ranch and mustard. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and baked beans. He added spicy pickles and ranch. The sandwiches were excellent. Smoked to perfection while staying juicy. The sides were delicious. Ranch and mustard is made in house and it shows! Knox waited on us and was attentive and thoughtful. The restaurant is casual and feels like a warm neighborhood place. Louisville has many bbq restaurants to choose from but others can be inconsistent and lacks the cool energy of Momma's. If you want an outstanding meal every time, you'll get that at Momma's.

The place is packed all the time the food comes out super hot and delicious portions have not changed. Their price on their main items has stayed the same if not, gotten a little cheaper They did not gouge everybody through everything that's going on with the economy. I love it. The one out on Hurstbourne Lane is the king of them all you're ready for some good barbecue this is still the go to place.

The place was clean and nicely decorated. The serving sizes are great (definitely at least two meals for me!) and tasted amazing. I tried their brisket, grilled chicken, and pulled pork, my favorite was their brisket. the onion straws were crispy and a great starter. and the buttermilk pie.. it melts in your mouth. also... mention its your first time! they gave us a free bottle of their BBQ sauce (to die for) and free dessert. overall a wonderful time and i can't wait to come back.

Not even the cups you get with the meal. Not driving back. Good food? Yes. Ribs, potato salad, green beans, heck it's all good. BUT check to make sure you get your BBQ sauce.
