Top 4 BBQ Spots in Louisville

  1. 1

    Momma's Mustard, Pickles & BBQ - Hurstbourne

    Hurstbourne

    Best of Louisville 2025 Barbecue winner — the Kansas-City-style dry-rub smokehouse (with a St. Matthews sibling on Bauer Ave) whose wings and beef ribs also landed it on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.

  2. 2

    Feast BBQ

    NuLu

    LEO Weekly's metro BBQ list anchor — the NuLu smokehouse (plus Jeffersontown) readers have repeatedly elevated in LEO's Readers' Choice for its meaty beef ribs and house pickles.

  3. 3

    Hammerheads

    Germantown

    LEO's Germantown entry on the 22-spot BBQ list — a subterranean bar whose Judge's Sampler (quarter chicken, half-slab ribs, pulled pork, brisket, sides) is the house flex.

  4. 4

    FABD Smokehouse

    Clifton

    LEO's metro list staple on Frankfort Avenue — the acronym stands for 'We Rub The Best Butts,' and the Clifton smokehouse leans competition-style on brisket and pork.
