    This is a hard one to rate. The food to me was just ok. I had the pulled pork, which was tender, but lacked real flavor. The sauce wasn't my favorite, but that's ok. I feel sauces aren't needed if the 'que is good enough, which this was good enough but if the sauce was better, I would've went on and poured on my pork. My sides were the macaroni that was recommended by staff and it was, for me, below average. My other side was potato salad, I thought it was the best part of my meal. The atmosphere was unique.. a lot more laid back than most restaurants and definitely family friendly. I'll give them another shot at some point and hope that I can upgrade to four stars!

    Porkland BBQ is literally a hidden gem: it is hidden in a church in a Portland neighborhood and the food is awesome! My friends and I decided to come over for lunch because we heard about Porkland by word of mouth and I am so glad that we did. The process of ordering and receiving our food took no longer than ten minutes. It was insanely fast! As busy as they are though, I am sure that they have most food premade. I ordered a pulled chicken sandwich with white bbq sauce (which was divine), coleslaw, and potato salad. I also bought some chocolate chip cookies on the way out. Everything was awesome. The pulled chicken was tender and the white bbq sauce was creamy and vingegary- I know it doesn't sound like a great combination, but it just worked. My only complaint about the coleslaw was that it was a bit too watery. However, the flavor was good. The potato salad was also good but it had a bit too much mayo/mustard for my taste. The cookies were awesome. No complaints there! I'd love to come back to Porkland and try some of their other sides. I am also curious about their tater tots. I'll be back!

    Vdub spotting. Feel the love at Porkland BBQ!

Melts in your mouth and well seasoned. We loved the Mac and cheese, my wife is particular about that and this met her standards. The vinegar slaw was perfectly tangy and refreshing. And the sweet potato fries are exactly what you need to dip into those sauces. Get the hot bbq sauce and add the vinegar sauce!! Even as I type I have a nice warmth in my mouth and throat. It made me star dipping everything in the sauce- slaw included!! Burgoo is fantastic!! With a gentle heat, I would get it alone if it came in a big bowl! With so much meat, corn, Lima beans, and carrots but it is the broth (sauce?) that gets you hooked. We had the Ale8-1 Burton slushy, which is sweet and refreshing on a hot day. And for desert we had to try the bourbon bites! Wow! Try to save room. Love the music in the background and casual atmosphere which would be fun for families or friend to meet. They service is friendly and helpful for us newbies! Wish we lived near by, so order up and enjoy!

I think of this place the only thing I miss is seeing the the big smokers just rolling smoke like a train coming thru town.. but besides all that the flavor is there the juiciness is there and the explosion of a delicious lemonade is right on point. I need to come back to try a dessert so that I could give it a five star. In my professional opinion of eating, I have to say some of the best wings on this side of the river

    "Doctor, doctor, give me the news I've got a bad case of…read morelovin' you" (Robert Palmer) Doc Crow's two locations (Indianapolis and Louisville) specialize in Southern cuisine, so you'll see pimento cheese, fried green tomatoes, gumbo, pulled pork, brisket, ribs, okra, and jambalaya on the menu. 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. PRO TIP Be sure to check out the Doc's jaw dropping collection of bourbon bottles that seem to dominate the various rooms wherever you look.

    Stopped at Doc Crow's since it seems to be a popular spot. Upon walking in, it doesn't seem big but…read morethere's an additional space after the first section. The restaurant includes a long row of bar seating that extends to the other end of the restaurant, so there was no problem for me to find a seat on a busy day. I ordered the Mac n cheese and braised greens, and the Mac n cheese was really good and creamy. The braised greens were just okay, it wasn't the best greens I've had and it could use extra flavor. 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.

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. 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.

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.
