    Visited here with friends for a weekday lunch and enjoyed the smoked turkey, greens, and cornbread…read more I also purchased a commemorative cup so I can get reduced prices on refills (that's IF the cup isn't forgotten at home though). Love all of the variety of sauces on the table. Even found a new one at the counter with some horseradish added, which thrilled me. Thanks for the heads up from one of the staff -- much appreciated! Noise level is mild to moderate. Restaurant is very clean. Staff are all extremely friendly and welcoming. One of the staff brought some complimentary cookies to the table for one of our guys who had served. What a nice gesture! Looking forward to return visits in the near future. Appreciate the concept and honoring our service members. I did deduct 1 star this time since one of my friends informed me about something that caused him to pause. He stated a bit of an "ick" that the photos of women service members are apparently displayed in the men's restroom in the stalls. Can't help but feel it's a bit disrespectful and wish those were displayed in the restaurant with all of the other service members. I'll check out the women's facilities during my next visit to see if perhaps a commensurate display of service members is also similarly in place.

    Momma's gets it right every single time! My husband and I…read morestopped in for lunch. There were just a few other diners when we first arrived but the place filled up quickly for lunch rush. 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.

    Mamas is still banging it out strong while they're off all the other restaurants that do what they…read moredo are fallinginto the wayside mamas is still blowing it up. Service is fantastic. 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.

    This is a very generous 3 stars. For those who say this is the best BBQ you've ever tasted, you…read moreneed to get out more. First, the place is filthy. There's all of 3 indoor tables and not one was clean. Heaven forbid someone steps out from behind the counter and wipes a table or empties the over flowing trash can. But let's get to the BBQ. Barely smoked. Little seasoning. No bark. Honestly, we couldn't tell the difference between the pulled pork, brisket or chicken. Yes, BBQ should be moist. But ours was served dripping in liquid. The best part of our meal was the green beans. The pork rib was meaty, but again, without any true smoke flavor. The sampler I ordered, with 1/4 pound of brisket, pork and a single rib was way overpriced at $20 without so much as a roll or side. My wife's pulled chicken taco was ok, but she wasn't sure it was chicken in the tortilla. The taco was simply 2 small corn tortillas with a bit of chicken and a speck of Cole slaw as a topping. For $8 we expected something more substantial. Oh, but there's more. Beer &. BBQ go hand in hand. But River Road, which only serves bottled or canned beverages, had a broken cooler. Warm beer. Full price. As there was another huge cooler with plenty of room, we couldn't understand why they didn't move the beer to the working cooler. I pass River Road BBQ several times a week and was hoping it would become a regular stop on my way home. But barely average food with below average value just won't give me a reason to stop again.

    So the other day I was craving BBQ. I had to work late and the places I normally go were closing…read more I stopped by and couldn't decide what to wanted. So I got the meat platter and a chicken sandwich. My food was delicious. It has been a long time since I had been there. The staff were friendly and respectful. I did carryout so I didn't stay inside to eat since they were nearing closing time. Super friendly service. It's just one of those places you gotta stop by and eat. They are local. I love supporting local and as a lover of BBQ they are top of my list. Go check them out. It's small but mighty.
