    Great small town BBQ place. They have smoked shoulder which is sliced, smoked, then sauced. Excellent!

    Great place. Great people. Pile of wood in the back. Real coals under the grill. Ribs, pulled pork, chicken, pork shoulder, tenderloin.

    Don't blink. If you do you might miss Capps BBQ, a small, hole-in-the-wall in Burkesville. We were…read moretold it was a must-eat by local legendary fishing guide Jonny Rush of Rainbow Guide Service and stopped by after catching trout on the Cumberland with him. Rest assured, this is good BBQ, even if it might look sketchy from the outside. For those looking for a nice, sit down, air conditioned spot, this isn't for you. There's one tiny table (seats two) inside and picnic benches outside, but this is what makes Capps so special. Locals enjoy the place. Value rules here. You can eat the farm for a fraction of what it would cost you at a sit down place in a major city. We couldn't believe how inexpensive it was. Meanwhile, keep in mind, your food comes in a Styrofoam container, not on fancy dishes. The menu is very small, too, but they focus on what they do well. And, do they do well. On a normal day local workers swing by here for lunch and can be seen chowing down on their food outside. I'd try their pork (it comes with BBQ sauce on it). And, remember it'll be vinegar based, but not as runny as you get east in North Carolina. We both had pork, so I can't comment on anything else. Meanwhile, their homemade desserts (saran wrapped) on the counter are very good, too! (And, be prepared. They have no sweet tea, just bottled water and Pepsi products. There's no fountain machine. Make sure to call ahead, too. They are open only certain days and odd hours. *Note: Cash Only

The aroma was tantalizing and the flavor and texture wad incredible. I challenge any restaurant in Lexington that purports the notion to step up to the plate and Satisfy MY Pilate like Northend BBQ did today. Thank you, Timothy for another great surprise!

    I'm sorry but we stopped in Cave City for the night and this BBQ joint was right across the street…read morefrom our hotel. We walked over and got seated right away. It smelled great and the food we seen delivered to other tables also looked great. We got a sample platter with ribs and brisket. The ribs were over cooked and chewy and the brisket was a lot of fat. The sides were just ok. Maybe it was just an off day for them because I see a lot of great reviews. We stopped in later in the evening so that may be the reason the meats were off. Again, not thrilled with our meal here, but may give them another chance earlier in the day.

    First, I love a great BBQ joint that also offers tasty sides, which is hard to come by back home in…read moreNKy. My son and I both wanted to try the brisket so he got the platter and I chose the sandwich. I was told they make most of the sides that aren't fried options such as tater tots, which I was happy about. They had the classic barbecue sauce on the table as well as a spicy option. Both were equally delicious. My sandwich came on Texas toast, which is a fave. The portions were a great value as they do not skimp! The fried potatoes are made in house and they were delicious. Even though they don't make the onion rings in house they were also quite good. My one disappointment was, they don't make the majority of their desserts. And the menu states that their daughter-in-law Kayle makes different desserts daily and they didn't have that. They were actually out of several desserts, which was disappointing. Since the only ones they had were not ones made in house I chose to not get one. Since we live 3 1/2 hours away I guess I'll have to give it another shot for the dessert option next time around. Overall, the place was terrific and the folks were friendly. They have a salad bar in the middle of the floor, which is a nice touch. They have a very laid-back atmosphere and it is definitely family friendly. And you definitely get good size portions for the money.

    Oh my, I really wanted this place to be good. We just moved to Albany a few months ago…read more I love great BBQ. Unfortunately for me, this wasn't close to great or even good. Personally, I've been smoking meat for over 40 years. I truly understand the work that goes into creating the perfect smoked masterpiece. I ordered a $50. Combo. The pulled pork was good. The chicken was super dry, it was overcooked. The potato salad and slaw were flavorless. Overall, I was overwhelmed with excitement for the opportunity to eat some great food and I was completely let down with the lack of flavor and appearance. I was underwhelmed to be quite honest with you all out there in YELPland. I was told there is much better BBQ out here in Kentucky and I plan on finding those BBQ landmarks. I honestly can't recommend Hunter's. For me personally, they pretty much let me down. I really wanted my neighborhood smokehouse to be stellar, but it just didn't work out.

    We have eaten here a few times. Every time is delicious. The food is always hot and flavorful. They…read moreoffer both Regular BBQ sauce & Hot BBQ sauce. They only accept cash. They do have an on-site ATM if you need cash. We have had the same cashier each time...not super friendly but not rude. The feel of the restaurant is like ordering from an indoor food truck. Will definitely be back.

    You do not remove the silver membrane before smoking your ribs?!?  That's why I'm not a fan.  I noticed it right away. Yuk!
