I'm up in Florence for work and my group decided to try Smokin' This and That for lunch. The…read morereviews were solid but when we went on a Tuesday, we were a bit concerned because there was nobody there... Peak lunch hour. So either it's just not popular for lunch or it was just an off day. Our group ordered and we were relieved as 4 more patrons walked in... But even during our stay, no more people came in. Well... Our group ate our words and stuffed our faces with some really good barbecue. We all mostly got sandwiches but these sandwiches were huge honking sandwiches. I think our waitress said it was half a pound. I ordered the brisket sandwich and macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese was creamy and warm. I was hoping for a sharper bite of cheese flavor but it was still good nonetheless. The brisket sandwich was really really good. It wasn't sliced brisket but was more "pulled" consistency, like pulled pork. It was moist and tender (not dry at all). The sauce was perfectly sweet and complimented the smoky, rich brisket. My colleagues couldn't finish theirs but one ordered the chicken sandwich and another a pork. All of them were pulled consistency and had excellent flavor of their respective meat (chicken and pork) but I preferred the brisket. Do yourself a favor if your craving barbecue and come to Smokin' This and That!

My family was excited to try a new family owned BBQ spot. We left extremely disappointed. We found…read morethe overall experience below average, we won't return. Overall atmosphere is a bit over the top. Pros: The ribs were meaty, the pork sandwich was piled high. Cons: The coleslaw was mushy and tasteless, the Mac and cheese was inedible, 2 different beers we tried were flat, we did not like the BBQ sauce.

While traveling in northern Kentucky, he stumbled upon one of these places, The Farmstand Market & Cafe. Farmstand offers comfort food with a farm-to-table focus served in a cozy space with a bar and attached market. We started with the Goetta Hanky Panky Dip. This was made with cheesy goetta, bagel chips, pumpernickel bread, and light rye served in a cast iron skillet. The dip had a good sausage flavor with salt and some light spice while being cheesy, creamy, and full of flavor. The bagel chips were very crispy but were not served warm. The pumpernickel and rye were dry. Each complimented the dip, adding texture to the bite. My wife had the Reuben Sandwich. This sandwich came with sliced corned beef, homemade Thousand Island, pickled pig sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on light rye with bacon ranch pasta salad. The pasta salad was cooked spot on while also being creamy. The bacon added crunch and saltiness to the salad. The rye had a great toast, and the Thousand Island was tangy and creamy. The pastrami was dry but had a good salty flavor. The sauerkraut was crunchy and had a good sour flavor cutting through the salty meat and the sweet dressing. The cheese was gooey and nutty and added flavor to each bite. I sampled the French dip sandwich and Mulligatawny soup. This was prepared with a sliced top round with provolone on a French roll. The soup was prepared with rice, chicken, carrots, onions, celery, lentils and spices. The chicken was very tender, the rice was cooked well, and the vegetables added texture to the rice. The soup was flavorful, had a wonderful aroma, and had a good salt content. The top round was thin and offered good flavor and chew. The roll was fresh and had a good chew paired with the ooey and gooey cheese with an excellent buttery flavor. The au jus had good flavor but was slightly salty, which overpowered it. Farmstand offers grilled cheeses, hot sandwiches, burgers, salads, appetizers, soups and main entrees. They also serve beer and have a full bar. The servers were pleasant and knowledgeable. The Fat Man says that The Farmstand Market & Cafe is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin.

I could tell the burger was 100% fresh and cooked to the temperature that I asked for. I'm not sure if the onion rings were fresh or not, but they were still good. The reason for the three stars is because the service at the bar was absolutely shit. The server seemed to cater more towards five extremely obnoxious, loud, drunk guys versus other people that were around them. There were several times a bartender would say they would get with me when they notice that I was ready to order and get a drink, but then they never came. The restaurant theme itself is very cool and unique. Overall, I will come back more than likely, but if I have another experience with that same type of service, then I will be done.

To be honest the best smoked ribs I have ever had. They smell great when your plate arrives. And then the meat falls off the bone. It's tender, juicy and delicious! We also loved the deep fried pickles! The batter stayed on the Pickles and the flavor was great. I ordered the Mac and cheese for a side and it was delicious too. Ok we also had the best server names Preston. She so friendly and sweet. Best of all the prices were very reasonable. One thing I see in Kentucky is the people there are friendliest people I have ever met. So go to Smokey Bones, it will not disappoint!

The person on the phone said yes, so I left plans with friends early, wasted gas driving all the way there, and showed up to locked doors before 10:30. Then when I called back, all they could say was "sorry, we locked the doors a few minutes ago." If you were already shutting down, why tell people to come in? You could have very easily said "sorry, the kitchen is closing" or "we aren't seating anymore tonight" BEFORE making customers waste their time and money driving there. Closing over an hour early while advertising different hours is dishonest and unbelievably unprofessional. Clearly this place does not care about customers or respect people's time whatsoever. So disrespectful!
