A BBQ restaurant that is about a mile down a gravel road makes my mouth water the closer the GPS counts down to 0.0 miles. Perched high atop the hill, those diners sitting outside have an amazing view of the trees and the sky while seated comfortably in the shade. Servers are quick to come around and take your order.. mine being beef brisket, Mac and Beans (Mac and cheese with baked beans on top) vinegar slaw and squash. Also on special was asparagus on the late-May evening that I stopped in. I'm a beef brisket snob. I like it lean and well smoked without the need for heavy bbq sauces. My opinion is that the more sauce you have to use, the worse off the meat. Having traveled all over, including a heavy concentration in the south sampling beef brisket, I can attest to the deliciousness of Red Point's brisket. A nice mix of fat, the brisket was tender and juicy and I could cut it with my fork. The side of bbq sauce complimented it rather than overpowering it, which is what it should do. The Mac and cheese baked beans was something I have never seen on a menu before. Mac and cheese on the bottom and baked beans on top.. I'm a fan. I'm also a fan of the bacon on top of it! The squash was so/so.. a little overcooked to me and the balsamic didn't really do anything for me. I would have liked some garlic and onion seasoning on it instead. The vinegar slaw was also a bit of a miss for me, but no one has been able to beat a local place in Thorntown, Indiana's vinegar cole slaw for me. The most important item.. the beef brisket.. was a solid 9.5 for me. I'm sure if I'm in the area again, my mouth will start watering thinking about it! read more

What a food knockout! Redpoint BBQ is my new favorite Gorge food spot, and I didn't expect that going in. That's because EVERY food item is top-notch and gourmet! Huge portions, so order accordingly lol Ranking my food items, from best to least: 1) Baked sweet potato (best I've ever had) 2) Hot Chicken sandwich (add the brioche bun) 3) Broccoli salad (perfectly creamy) 4) Asparagus (perfectly grilled) 5) Rack of ribs (the only subpar item, was ok) Also commendable are the drink prices! Cocktails were $9 so that went a long way to our enjoyment. As for the place, there's plenty of parking and great outdoor seating in a relaxed peaceful nature area. I can't wait to come back! read more

Came for dinner on a Thursday night at 4:37pm and it was packed. I had read it got busy on weekends, but every outside table was taken and we got one of the last inside tables. People were parking along the drive in, but then we realized they did have overflow parking. Parking all together was a cluster. There is no information on how to order if you order at the counter, sit down, someone seats, you, etc., so that was confusing. We got a seat, a server came over and got our order. It was soooooo cold inside. We had to go get jackets. It took a really really really long time for our food to come out. The food was delicious for the most part. Pulled pork and bbq sauce was tasty as was the Mac and cheese. The Cole slaw was just meh. My husband liked his brisket and sweet potato. He didn't love his corn bread. It came with an herb better that taste like a cheddar bay biscuit. One person got the grilled chicken and didn't care for it. All in all, great food and good portion sizes. We also got charged for 2 kids drinks even though it said they were included on the menu so I'd like that $6 back. They don't give you a receipt so I had no way of knowing until after I paid. read more

Got here at 345 on a Thursday to make sure we got outdoor seating. It wasn't nearly as packed as other reviews say. We got the curry hummus and pita chips. It was delicious. Had the old fashioned and honey bee for drinks. They were both great. For food we had the brisket with Mac n beans and sweet tater, hot chicken with broccoli salad and mac n cheese, and smoked wings. Literally everything was amazing. The brisket melted in our mouths, the hot chicken was perfectly seasoned and spicy, and the wings were tender and delicious. The original server we had was amazing, blonde woman, but a different server took over that wasn't as attentive (blonde but with several tattoos). All in all it's the best food in the gorge, by far the best bbq I've ever eaten, and I smoke a lot of food on my own. Gotta try it. read more

RedPoint BBQ - Brisket, Mac n beans, sweet tater, pita and hummus, old fashioned. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Campton, Kentucky

Went on a Saturday night in April. Place was packed! Wait was only 20 minutes for a table. They have lots of seating inside & outside (covered patio). They have a separate bar where you can grab a drink and wait. On a crowded night the bathroom line can get long (only 2 stalls). The appetizers: pork belly skewers & curry hummus with pita chips were both amazing. Lots of flavor. For dinner we had the ribs, pulled pork, & blackened catfish (all with 2 sides). Loved them all and they were large portions. The sides were also excellent. Really enjoyed the sweet potato and broccoli salad. Entrees were $16-$22 with two sides. Highly recommend this place and can't wait to go back. read more

Once you overcome the challenge getting parked, this place is on point for a lot of food options, including if you have gluten allergies. My lady friend loved her pulled pork, and I enjoyed my blackened catfish, but it would have been hotter. But let's talk about the real star of the show, the mac and beans, with a little glaze drizzled on top. Call it a signature side or just call it yummy! Friendly, casual vibe and attentive service. Needs better parking options. read more

We had a large group for lunch at Redpoint BBQ on Mother's Day, 5/10/2026. This place was amazing!!! We were quickly seated outdoors and the service was fantastic! The servers brought us ice water and iced tea in carafes for the table. I ordered the southwest chicken salad..... I don't even have words for how delicious it was! The spicy ranch dressing was the best. We also had the curry hummus, shrimp and grits, brisket, pulled pork, Nashville chicken, ribs, mac and cheese, asparagus, coleslaw. The portions were big and EVERYTHING was delicious! I'm already planning another 2 1/2 hour trip to have that salad again! I wish I took pictures of all of the food. Excellent job, RedPoint BBQ! We will be back! read more

RedPoint BBQ - Southwest chicken salad with spicy ranch - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Campton, Kentucky

Some friends had recommended this place and we finally made it out to the gorge to try it. It definitely far exceeded my expectations. You don't often find a place like this in the middle of nowhere Kentucky. The food is amazing! Portion sizes are literally giant. We're pretty big eaters but could have totally shared a meal. Considering the size of the plates, it's a great deal too. I got the ribs. It was a full rack of ribs and I could eat about half. My husband got brisket and my parents got pulled pork. We all had different sides and they were all amazing. The ribs were my favorite, the pork was so tender and flavorful too. Brisket was good, but I would get the ribs again or the pork again next time. service was great too. read more

The folks at our campground recommended this BBQ place. SO glad they did! They said you turn down a gravel road and it looks like you're in the middle of nowhere. They were right! We got there a little after they opened (4:30 - they open at 4pm). You can sit anywhere you like so we sat outside on the patio and had a wonderful view. Staff here is very friendly and attentive. If you need anything you can grab any one of the servers nearby and they're happy to help. The food - outstanding! And HUGE portions! I had the pulled pork and mac n beans. There was so much pulled pork that I ate it for 2 more days! The mac and beans... I wasn't sure about the combo (mac n cheese and baked beans) but wow! Delicious! My husband had the brisket. I think it's the best brisket we had in a very long time. Again - big portions and we had plenty of left overs. Definitely make a stop here if you're in the Red River Gorge Area! read more

Incredible food, good portions, ribs fall off the bone, nice spicy hot chicken, great sides. Good service. Fun atmosphere.

Easily the best meal we had on a recent Kentucky/Tennessee vacation. We chose to come here on our 1st night in the Red River Gorge area and we were well compensated for the effort (effort: really out of the way location, at the end of a long gravel driveway that made us doubt the directions and worthiness of the effort). The open patio offered nice views of the surrounding hilly scenery and the bbq-based faire was the best we have had in many moons. Service was competent. Even being on diets we found we could navigate the menu for tasty gems without breaking the calorie barrier or the bank. Yum! read more

Absolute great spot, Miguel has done it again! Ribs were fantastic, baked potato is so good, portion sizes are huge which I wasn't expecting to be honest for the price (which is VERY reasonable) brisket is amazing and kids menu option for brisket is perfect for our adventurous eater. It gets pretty busy around dinner so I recommend doing carry out if you aren't a big line waiter. Broccoli salad is delicious as well as coleslaw and Mac and cheese. We've yet to try something we didn't like! Staff is super friendly, and food comes out quickly! read more

The food here is amazing. You can tell the brisket is smoked with love and tenderness for your enjoyment. The plates are huge, as you would come to assume from a BBQ spot. They mix the beans with the Mac and cheese for a tasty side dish. Zero complaints here. Definitely put it on your priority list. One caveat is that it sits in a dry county. So don't expect to get alcohol on Sundays. If you're one of those folks that are tight with the bearded space wizard, maybe ask him if he's down with us plebs drinking on Sundays now so this won't be an issue anymore. The pope said he's down with gay people now, so maybe he's cool with Sunday sips? In any case, come to RedPoint for a good meal, and if you're coming after Sunday church, make sure you take an extra helping of the wine at communion to hold yourself over. read more

We arrived on a Friday night less than 1 hour to close. Our diners had the blackened catfish, the brisket, and a full rack of ribs. The brisket was delicious- it's smoked in-house and comes with 2 sides- I had the baked potato and the broccoli salad. The baked potato is a large half that's like twice baked or fried- it had an amazing crunch. The broccoli salad was also delicious. I'd recommend all those items. The full rack of ribs guy had a time eating all those ribs- they were tender and delicious. His sides were sweet potato and corn grits bread. The sweet potato was really good- the corn grits bread was a bit meh. The blackened catfish was our least liked. The charred flavor overpowers any other flavor. Those sides included yellow squash (not recommended) and the broccoli salad (which again- yum!) The vibe is laid-back and our server was really nice and nobody seemed annoyed at our late dining visit. Generous portions. Lots of drink options- would recommend the spicy margarita! Oh- you do need to drive up a country gravel road- but it is definitely worth the trip! Alas- we chowed down so fast (after a hike at Rock Bridge Arch Trail)- I didn't take any pics. Happy BBQ! Do visit if you are visiting Red River Gorge- you will not be disappointed. read more

we decided to try this place after seeing it on someone's TikTok. It is off the beaten path but so worth it. We arrived on Saturday at noon when it open and by the time we left, it was packed. Even though it was hot, we still enjoyed the back patio, looking out towards the wooded area We had an amazing waitress and staff. And the food was delicious. We had smoked brisket and their barbecue sauce was amazing. We also got the side of a deep fried loaded, baked potato, which was crunchy on the outside and soft potato in the center. We also shared some spoke wings with dill ranch dressing. I wish I could take a bottle of the barbecue sauce and ranch dressing home. Definitely recommend this place and will be going back again. read more

RedPoint BBQ - Brisket with deep fried loaded, baked potato. Smoked wings. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Campton, Kentucky

This Place is exceptional!!! Food & drink all the way to service !!! We enjoyed this place so much we came back 2 nights in a row!!! We started off with 2 expresso Martinis which were delicious and made with real shots of expresso! My favorite dish was the Blackened Catfish, cooked to perfection and finished with an herbed butter. My favorite sides were the baked sweet potatoes finished with butter & cinnamon alongside the balsamic drizzled squash !!!! Soooo yummy. The house salad is very tasty as well comes with Avocado and my dressing of choice was the spicy ranch !! Very tasty & highly recommend! My date got chicken tenders the 1st night with Mac n chz & baked beans and Apricot chicken the second night ... I did not try the sides but the apricot chicken was very good fried fresh and crunchy on the outside juicy in the middle! Lastly, the service we received from DANA was outstanding... very tentative to our every need and one of the sweetest people I've ever met !! ABSOLUTELY LOVED her energy !! read more

If you stay anywhere remotely close to RRG, you need to make this a part of your trip. Hands down the best food I've had at a restaurant in a long time to be honest. Everything tastes amazing and you can tell it's all in-house made. Everyone is friendly despite how many customers flock here. We will be back again and again. read more

What a great find on our weekend away!! Friendly service and tasty food, though be warned that this area doesn't serve alcohol on Sundays, which was a bummer to find out because the cocktail list looked delicious! For meats, we had the pulled pork (a little on the dry side but overall fine) and brisket (the peppercorn bark was so flavorful and the brisket was tender and juicy, no bbq sauce required!). For sides, we shared the balsamic summer squash, corn grits bread, baked beans, Mac & cheese, and baked potato. I thought this Mac & cheese was some of the best I've had as a BBQ side, a nice sharp taste and didn't give Velveeta-vibes like many others I've had elsewhere. The baked beans definitely aren't your typical "bush's" style, we enjoyed them! And the bacon was actually slightly crispy, always a positive point from me. The corn grits bread was a welcomed change from the standard corn bread, although we were curious how this would've tasted with a sweet butter or honey instead of the savory chive butter spread. read more

Delicious and lots of it, so bring your appetite! The jalapeño cornbread was amazing! Excellent service! I highly recommend.

Another great service! We really go out of our way just to eat here. I can't stress enough...order the Beignets. I don't even like blackberries but their blackberry sauce is amazing! Service was quick and friendly. Our food was hot and tasty. The smoke ring on the brisket was *chefs kiss*. The "baked beans" aren't the best and are more like soup beans. The Mac and cheese is your basic cafeteria side dish that needs some work as well. Again, I had to deduct a star because they have a heavy bug problem. Between the ants crawling everywhere and flies swarming your face and food it gets annoying and becomes unenjoyable. read more

Happy we found this hidden place. GPS took us right there, never felt lost. Our family agreed this was 4.5 stars but I couldn't give the fraction. Our server, Sarah, was amazing on a Friday night. Very attentive even though they were busy. The atmosphere is fun and casual. The ribs, hot chicken, and vinegar slaw were "good, yeah I'd order them again" good. The fried baked potato, mac & cheese, and beignets were spectacular. Pulled pork and brownie sundae were both fine. Portions were humongous and the price was more than fair for what you got. We will recommend to others and would come back ourselves. read more

This was by far one of the best bbq places I have ever been! Bring your appetite because the portions are massive! I got the ribs with baked beans and squash. I ended up taking over half my ribs with me and half my baked beans! The ribs were so tender that they just slide off the bones! And the baked beans had lots of crispy bacon in them and 2 types of beans. The squash was so good that I inhaled it! The place is very popular so there is quite a wait to get seated. However, the wait staff is very attentive. I loved the whole vibe of this place and the food! Next time I am in the Red River Gorge area I will make sure to stop here again! read more

Soooooo so so good - this place blew me away! Between the pulled pork and brisket, the brisket was definitely better but the pork was delicious too! Especially with the homemade bbq sauce. The mac n cheese was amazing. My favorite part was the green scallion butter with cornbread, omg the butter was amazing. PS finding the location is slightly confusing - follow the dirt road to the left when it forks otherwise you'll end up at someone's house. read more

Last night was our second visit to this establishment. A bit less busy than the last time, which I enjoyed. This time I ordered the pulled pork with MAC and baked beans and sweet potatoes. Everything was great but the pork was a bit dry for my liking. Our waitress was so sweet and happy to bring us a side of the cucumber onion garnish which is delightful. The Hellbender cocktail is my favorite that I've had so far. Definitely give that a go! My favorite bites of the night were the wing appetizer and the brownie with blackberry sauce. Soooooo good. A great meal. Everyone in my party agreed. My take on this place so far is that apps, sides, drinks and desserts is where they shine. I've had the catfish and pork as my main so far and not impressed with either. I'll try the brisket next. Great experience. Great staff. I wish I'd taken pics read more

Wow! How people found this place and pack it every night is amazing. It's up the hill, down a gravel road but don't fret. You're in the right place. Fantastic food, huge portions and very friendly service. We ordered the extra heavy blackened catfish and the full rack ribs. The catfish came out perfectly grilled with a ton of Cajun and the ribs were fantastic Lu seasoned and smoked. They had just a touch of sauce ( they bring you a cup of more sweet sauce.) All dinners come with 2 HUGE sides . They have their specialty cocktails and my lead the desserts are huge and delicious. They also have a sit down bar and a huge covered patio among with dining room. read more

My husband and I were excited to try the food here at Redpoint BBQ, and here is our experience. You get to sit yourself as long as your party is not 6 or more people. We sat outside, and the view is beautiful. I ordered the blackened catfish, coleslaw, and broccoli salad. My husband ordered the brisket, macaroni and cheese, and baked beans. We loved the catfish, macaroni and cheese, and baked potato (they accidentally thought he ordered the potato). The brisket, coleslaw, and broccoli salad were a bit dry. I was able to help the broccoli salad and coleslaw by adding more mayo and some lemon juice. read more

After a long day of hiking, my husband and I were starving. Yelp reviews convinced me this was one of the best places around, so we weren't surprised when we arrived to a long wait. We grabbed a drink from the bar and about forty minutes later ,were shown to our table. We started with a piece of cornbread, which was served with scallion butter and pickled onions and cucumbers. It was delicious. For dinner my husband had the brisket, while I opted for the Nashville hot chicken. We both choose mac & cheese and baked beans for our sides. Everything was AMAZING! The baked beans were honestly the best we've ever had. The bbq at RedPoint was even better then Slow's (and if you're from the Detroit area, you know this is a huge compliment!) If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely be back. Until then, I'm going to try to figure out how to replicate those beans! read more

Located a quarter mile off the main road but worth the stop. Had the blackened catfish, Mac n cheese and salad. The catfish was a huge portion. An absolute slab. It literally was hanging over the plate. The flavor was amazing. Could barely finish it. They also have an extensive cocktail list including dozens of bourbons. 4-5 craft beers on tap. Additionally they have an 18 hole disc golf course on the property. Staff was very friendly. The only negative was the wait for my entree. Took a solid 30-40 minutes to come out. Aside from that, everything was great. read more

This was the perfect dinner stop for our last night of vacation. We got carry out - (me) the brisket, mac, broccoli salad, (him) the chicken tenders, mac and slaw. His first comment was "Oh, that is the best onion I have ever had!" (It was the pickled onion and cucumber on the side). Everything just got better after that. The broccoli salad was AMAZING and the brisket was tender and smoky. Soooo good. Red Point BBQ - Thanks for a great anniversary dinner to wrap up our vacation! read more

The old fashioned and the spicy margaritas were a favorite. We had the apricot fried chicken and the rack of ribs. Incredible! My family has a multi-generation smoked ribs making talent, and I gotta say, these are legitimately some of the best ribs I've ever had.

BAM! We were staying in the area and our host suggested this place. At first I thought the GPS was taking a short cut to town via a gravel road and then over the hill is this barn looking building with about 100 cars parked on the side of the road and in a lower parking area... You'd have no idea it was there. Great drink selection and then there's the amazing food - it was all top notch. Brisket, pork, mac and cheese, corn bread, etc. The wait was decent considering it being a Saturday night and so many people all ready there. Well worth getting your car a little dusty from the gravel road! read more
