I knew when I left, I should have gone back and got another super size rib tips and I sure regret not doing it! Next time I'll go whole hog and get some of the other stuff.

Paul S. "Excellent every time!Bubbys is always such a delight to stop and eat whenever we are in the area. The restaurant is always clean, and the food is hot and fresh.Besides their amazing pulled pork, one of our favorites each trip is the fish. Always fried fresh, the fish is light and tasty. Their fried chicken is always cooked perfectly and is flavorful and juicy with just the right amount of crispy breading. The sides are always plentiful! From collard greens to mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, and plenty others!Bubbys also has a salad bar, which is just the right size. The salad and toppings are always fresh and kept well stocked. Located just west of interstate 75 (exit 25), Bubbys should be everyone's lunch or dinner destination. The fish is so good, I'm tempted to drive an hour each direction just to eat there!"

Brittney K. "My recent experience of having brunch with a friend here was one of the very best. I've been several times over the years and always had delicious food but the latest was way above expectations. I was hesitant to get the brisket pho for brunch at first but wow was I happy with my choice. This dish was expertly created with their fall-apart melt in your mouth brisket, a fried egg and a toasted bagel to top it off. Some of the typical pho toppings like bean sprouts, cilantro, basil, and jalapeños, made this dish taste quite familiar, yet having this brunch version was interesting. I love the take on one of my favorite Asian dishes and had never seen it brunchetized before. I would highly recommend to any pho lovers who are open to a unique take on this Vietnamese cuisine to give this a try."

Mike L. "So I've finally gotten a chance to make it around to The Smoking Pig.. Albeit just for carry out but I'm sure I'll go for a dinner sit down sometime soon. First off the decor is very country... and very clean and crisp. A lot of antiques hanging around and even an antique store in one of the buildings. I took a look around and will have to come back and check out some things I might want to buy to decorate my own place. There are two main buildings. One is the kitchen building which has a few seats inside and is where you'll order your food. The other is the store area with more seating. There is also plenty of other seating outside. The menu is fairly short but sweet. It doesn't get too complicated with things and gives you exactly what you want in a country bbq joint. I got the Korean Kickin Chicken with the Pig Tails. The pig tails were kinda of like a wide short curly fry, they were fantastic. The sandwich was fantastic. Spicy bbq charred just right and flavored up. All sitting on a pretzel bun. Those two items filled me up!! Pendleton County is littered with failed restaurants.. I'm really hoping that this one survives. It's a good location for many people in the county and it's priced very well. I can't wait to go in and sit down to a rack of ribs sometime soon!!"

You can tell they take pride in their craft and that is smokin meat. We ordered the Big Papa's Smoked Meat Sampler and shared it. It included brisket, pulled pork and ribs. When I tell you it was tender it was tender. Full of flavor from start to finish. The ribs fell off the bone and I swear I probably looked like a caveman eating them. I swear hands down perfection. And it was a first for me in regards to Smoked cabbage. I've never even heard of smoked cabbage before; but, by golly, it's phenomenal. You know the meals that stick out as dang good food and memorable???? This is gonna be one. It's that yummy!!!!!! They are gonna be moving to a new location across from Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken soon which we're told is gonna have outside seating and be a more intimate setting. Right now it's in a shopping plaza. I'm excited for them and I appreciate their passion for meat. They really have the meats!!!Please go see them!!!!"

Joseph E. "Really confused as to why this place only had three stars... After a stretch of not very good BBQ, I was nervous to try a place that wasn't highly rated. All do respect to those that rated this place low, but you are wrong. My colleague and I started with the smoked wings. They were excellent. (Especially with the hot bbq sauce). He got the brisket and I got the ribs. Both were fantastic. The ribs were meaty and fell off the bone pretty easily. Great with any of the sauces. The brisket was so juicy and flavorful, you didn't need sauce. Absolutely amazing. The sides were good, not great. I had the beans and the bugaloo (sp). Beans were good and I would get them again. I'd pass on the other stuff and get the sweet potato casserole. It was great. 100% recommend this place."

My understanding is each day there are different specials/offerings and you choose from several options readily available for that day. Once I put the order in at the window my food was ready within five minutes (probably less). I think I was the first customer of the day though because I got there as soon as they opened so I'm not sure if the speed is typical. There are no dine-in options, this is a drive thru or delivery restaurant only."

We were greeted at the door and sat at a table by the bar. Obviously couldn't sit at the bar with a toddler. We had to ask for menus but our first round of drinks were good. I had the "Philly Special" which is a green, very fruity drink. I had to go with the vibes, but one and done for me. They do make a mean old fashioned, though!Hubs wanted brisket, out of that. No pulled pork. So he ordered the smoked wings. Pretty decent. Fries were good. I had a chicken cheesesteak...great flavor, soft bread, but the chicken was almost burnt.This is a new spot so still a few kinks but would love to come back to either location to try some more food. Always good to support local."

Be sure to ask for a side of sauces, the BBQ sauce was really nice and the Peach Habanero wasn't too spicy and had great flavor. The flavored margs were pretty amazing too and the cheesecakes were over the top!!! Highly recommend!"

Whether you're in the mood for juicy ribs, savory pulled pork, or a mouth-watering brisket, K&S BBQ has it all. One of my favorite dishes at K&S BBQ is the brisket. It is cooked to perfection and has a mouth-watering smoky flavor that will make your taste buds dance with joy. The meat is juicy and tender, and it just melts in your mouth. I highly recommend pairing it with the tangy BBQ sauce and a side of creamy coleslaw for a delicious and satisfying meal. Whether you're a BBQ connoisseur or a newcomer to the cuisine, you simply have to try the brisket at K&S BBQ"

Got the three bone platter with a side of mac for Baby K.Ribs were excellent: meaty, tender, smoky, a tiny hint of heat in the seasoning. No sauce needed. I tried a bit and it was good, a little sweet. But unnecessary, sign of good meat.The mac was good too. A bit too "fancy" for Baby K, meaning flavorful and not completely basic. Really good as a side.Super good service. Decent prices. Pretty much the basics on the menu, but you don't want complications with bbq, or a food truck, anyway."

Joshua H. "This is the place to try Owensboro style BBQ. I wouldn't necessarily say KY style, as I've yet to find another joint outside Owensboro that cooks up mutton as a staple option. Maybe it's a western KY thing, but passing though Louisville, mutton was nowhere to be found.Anyway here at Old Hickory you can find it sliced, chopped, as ribs, in a stew (burgoo) as well as the typical brisket, chicken and pork options.but owensboro style is all about the mutton, and for me, that's the chopped mutton on the white bun. Vinegary and delicious, mutton's a different bbq ball-game. the sheep oil or lanolin, adds a unique flavor that can seem strong to the uninitiated. However, I find that if you go for the experience, you will easily acclimate.The cornbread was more of a cornmeal pancake, not the typical yellow cake-looking type.The baked beans are good, but very sweet. Same with the coleslaw. The green beans are heavily cooked, so are very soft and on the darker side. I think it's a regional preparation.The catfish was nice, more crust than fish, and wasn't really served with anything like a tartar sauce or remoulade.Good for groups, friendly service and top notch bbq, make this casual eatery our regular stop every time we're in town. Come with an appetite, but I recommend fibering up before hand.I also recommend eating there (unless you're a regular). Delivered BBQ just seems different, even though it should be the same."

The decor is minimal with 50's style black and red booths. The tables have inspirational messages, the music is country / religious. Not in your face but background music. The staff friendly and efficient. Great menu with sandwiches wraps salads and more. For the two of us a Mushroom burger with fries, buffalo chicken sandwich with fries 2 drinks and fried cheese sticks with tax was just $26. The portions were generous too! My chicken was to too big for the bun! And my husband who can usually eat 2 entrees took half his burger to go. Very family friendly, as we saw local coming in to celebrate birthdays and stopping in after soccer practice. Hopefully we can get back here again."

The curry dinner comes with rice&peas and two sides. The rice&peas were phenomenal, and the greens + mac&cheese sides were great. I didn't get to try the oxtails, but they looked amazing and my wife said they were great. She raved about the rice and peas, so it's unanimous. The couple running this restaurant used to live in Jamaica and the husband has experience cooking at a restaurant back in Jamaica. It shows. The quality, quantity, and value for the price is great. I hope the word catches on and they are super successful, because this place is way too good to not succeed."

The staff is always super friendly and accommodating, I've never had to wait long on getting an amazing and affordable meal, and I never have regrets coming here. I typically order the small steak and usually end up taking half home. Key tip, ask for the steak au jus sauce to go if you plan to reheat later. Put the steak and au jus in a pan on your stove top on low heat to warm up, and it's like having it at the restaurant all over! I recommend the ribber fries which are like lighter fluffier Saratoga chips. I ask for mine crispier though. Also, the beer battered onion rings are on point! Top it all off with a local beer brewed literally next door, and you're set! Enjoy one of the best restaurants Portsmouth has to offer folks, you will not regret it!"

The bourbon BBQ sauce is excellent and a little spicy. They give you slices of bread but I wish they would serve buns with the family meal. They did forgetthe butter and sour cream. With the coupon the bill came to $77. Rounded up to $100 for the tip. Got everything to-go but I still leave a nice tip. Worth going! Great smoked food."
