Pop's Southern Style Barbeque

I've been here a handful of times now and it's became a MUST do when in Morehead. I crave this place a lot when I'm at home. A rustic BBQ spot that has indoor and outdoor seating and great customer service. Avoid peak dinner/lunch times to avoid the rush! This place gets PACKED during those times. I've had several things on their menu and I've never been dissatisfied. The breaded pickles are immaculate. THE BEST fried pickles I've ever had. They're so crispy, light and not greasy like lots of other restaurants. The breading is flavored perfectly as well. The pork ranch fries are amazing as well! They're great for an appetizer or to get with a sandwich.This past weekend I got a special they offered: Philly Cheese Steak sandwich with Mac n Cheese! The Mac was great, super creamy and delicious. The Philly sandwich was also really good! I would definitely get it again. I never know what to choose when I go here because there's so many great options available.Memaw's liquor is a new addition right next to the restaurant. They have several different alcohol options including several exclusive, hard to find bourbons. As well as ice cream and various other items. I left with a bottle of the recent batch of Bookers! All in all -- a great spot in Morehead. A place I look forward to going every time I'm down there. If you're thinking about going, give it a try for sure!

I really wanted to like this place. We stopped in here to take a break from our travels. There were only a few other diners when we arrived. We walked inside and were told to seat ourselves. We proceeded to wait almost 15 min before a server greeted us at the table, despite a few leisurely hanging out at the door taking selfies. By the time our waitress came to our table, we were ready to order while placing our drink order. At this time, another couple sat at the booth next to us. We didn't order anything fancy, just a couple waters, a turkey club, and a pulled pork sandwich. The couple that came in after us were able to be waited on, served, paid their ticket, leave, and their table was cleaned all before we received our order. When it finally arrived, it seemed to have been rushed together, despite the long wait time. The turkey was piled in the middle, leaving just bread on each end. The bread was super greasy and hard and had been sitting long enough that it was cool to the touch. Our pulled pork sandwich was missing... the bread! ‍ Once again we had to waive down a server to ask for the bread for the sandwich we ordered. The sign out front advertised milkshakes and hand dipped ice cream yet when we asked to order some we were told we would have to go to a liquor store next door if we wanted ice cream. With all of that aside, the turkey club was not good and the pork was mediocre. Again, I really wanted to like this place, but it was just one let down after another.

Quick jaunt of I-64, if you have not visited this gem you are missing out. We will be back again, again and again for some extra tasty sides, tasty huge meat portions and sweet tea that is so sweet your toes may curl. Sauces are great, the bottles could use a hose down from folk over zealously squirting sauce on the BBQ. Preferred brisket, but pulled pork had some nice burnt ends. Table next to us had turkey, that is our next meat. Baked beans are sweet and chocked full of meat and onions, extra tasty.They have in-house beer cheese, they have icecream and much more to bring us back. Go Eat Here!!!! Summer time offers up outside dining, for winter you get to eat with the stuffy wall critters. Service is friendly with good suggestions and pretty quick to get you back on the road with good vittles in your belly.

Okay, okay, so it's not a barbecue sandwich, but is the best darn smoked bologna in all of EKy! It's so thick, you may get TMJ (the meat jitters) from eating it! It's totes worth the risk! And while I was too late in the day to land the fried tomatoes as a side , their mushrooms were a great consolation offering delicious crispy bits to savor!

If you get there the first week of opening everything is good, after that it's thawed out and dry. Got 2 bacon cheese burgers today and I'd be embarrassed if I was the owner to serve a frozen disgusting burger like that and charge $10 for it.Not what it once was , won't be back

Sabrina is my new BFF. She is the most amazing server I have ever had. She made great food recommendations - we had the fried pickles, beer cheese, mushroom burger, beef brisket, and chicken tenders. We also had tasty margaritas from the bar in the garage. The food was delicious, and dinner was just perfect, sitting outside on the patio with the country music playing and the gorgeous Kentucky sunset in the background. All of that alone was enough for an enjoyable experience, but Sabrina elevated it to a belly laughing good time. She even got my salty teenage daughter to laugh out loud. I can't wait to go back!

Waited a half hour at a table while three waitresses came in and out. took order from two groups and walked off. didn't even take a drink order from us. there was only the three groups there, for Pos that was not busy. I can get better service from McDonald's that I got there

Brisket was amazing. Great service. Definitely worth the price. I will definitely be back.

You may wanna just try something else for BBQ. I did like the location and the building, The food however is very below average. What done it for me was our bbq sauce at the table literally just tasted like ketchup and the pork was very dry and reheated tasting. As if it maybe were cooked multiple days in advance. I know when something tastes like there was no effort put into making it. This is more of a Snack Shack last resort type place. Go ahead and drive to Morehead and grab something to eat.

My wife and I ate here on a vacation trip to Cave Run Lake. We tried the Brisket Club and Turkey Club sandwiches. They both were excellent. Service was great. It's worth the stop just to sit inside and take in all of the interesting wall art.
