Martin's Bar-b-que Joint

This was a 5 star experience all around. We booked our Christmas party with Amy and she took care of all the details and request we discussed. The two waitresses Shay and Miranda were so attentive of our every need that night. Finally the food was excellent. We had appetizers, brisket, pulled pork, macaroni and cheese and baked beans. This was the 2nd time we used Martin's BBQ for our business parties and we will definitely be coming back.

This is not a server type restaurant which was nice. You simply walk up to the counter order your food grab a number recieve your drinks and they will bring the food. It is some of the best bbq I have had in awhile and would now rank this as my number one bbq spot. Very fresh and melt in your mouth BBQ. If you are needing a new work lunch spot or a place a little more fast and convenient this is it! They also have a live band that plays on Wednesdays in the Summer.

First visit and ordered the sweet bbq wings, Beef Brisket, Mac n cheese , green beans, slaw, baked beans and hushpuppies. My husband gave the beef brisket a 10/10 and doesn't give out 10's. The wings were cooked to perfection. Very flavorful crispy on the outside , juicy on the inside. Mac n cheese was fantastic, baked beans were some of the best beans I have ever had. The slaw was good, green beans were perfect. The hushpuppies were different than I had before but delicious. Crispy and light. I noticed the desserts and opted out. Be aware, they have mostly vinegar based bbq suases. Somethings I did not like was the atmosphere. I know it is a big place and doors opening alot, but over 10 flies by our table. The table was a bit sticky. The other is the drink situation, asking for refills should not be a thing in a dinning in area. The music was just a smidge on the louder side. But over all we will definitely be back. Highly recommend 👌 👍

Ordered curbside from the website and it was awesome! Ready in 15 minutes, pulled up to the designated parking spots marked myself arrived and out came my order. Dinner was delicious! Best smoked turkey EVER! Brisket was melt in your mouth amazing. We split a few side items and everything was flavorful and fresh. Baked beans were soooo good we will be ordering them in bulk, placing in our own container and saying we made it for the next cookout we go to 😁 highly recommend Martins!

Found this place randomly while looking for the bluegrass outlets. So happy we stumbled upon it. Walking in the smell of the barbecue was amazing. The lady at the counter helped us pick out some food and recommended several of her favorites. My husband got the pork I got the pulled chicken. It was so full of smoke flavor and came out quick. While it’s a 2 hour drive back here I would definitely come back again when in town. Try it you won’t be disappointed

My last night in Louisville, KY, I found a gem. When I opened the door, i was greeted with the light smoke from the grill pits. The brisket (smoked for 18hrs), oh my goodness, was tender and very tasty, I also asked for the dry rub ribs and chicken with sauce on the side. (you shall not give me meat covered and drowning in sauce I must know what-that-pitmaster-do) the ribs presented as tender, almost fall of the bone all though I loved the ribs I have to present one of two small criticisms the ribs still had the membrane on the back. (Not that a problem for me but a deal breaker for my wife). The chicken was so good I could have slapped my wife ( my mother would kill me, so the wife it is, lol). The sides were on point. I had the mac&cheese, cold slaw, and potatoe salad, which leads to second criticism, the potatoe salad was on the salty side. Due to my low salt diet, I can't ding them for that.. the atmosphere was nice. The restaurant had an outdoor porch area that was bigger than most bbq joints entire place. All in all is about the BBQ it was and is awesome. The service made me feel like part of the family the manager took care of me with southern hospitality.

WOW!!THE WINGS!!!!! For 5 years i was craving these Hickory smoked wings! For the first time we tried Martin's BBQ back in 2017 at the Nashville Downtown location with my wife and its best BBQ i had down there.The Sweet Dixie sauce is out of this world with the finishing Dry Dixie Rib rub.When we planned the trip to Louisville and i discovered that there is a Martin's Bbq Joint i couldn't been more excited to have their food again. My wife had the Catfish sandwich and she sad, it was the best she have ever had!Kids also loved the wings as well. The staff was super friendly. Multiple people stop by at the table to check on us and make sure the food was great!! Absolutely wonderful experience!! Thank you Mr.Martin you have fans for life! Greetings from Chicago😎
