Frankfort Avenue Beer Depot

I randomly get the urge to go here, you know, to FABD. Why...beer and bbq of course! My favorite thing on the menu is probably the fried green beans. Whatever sauce that accompanies them just makes them damn good. I got the pulled pork sandwhich, and my wife the bork belly sliders. All eaten without complaint. The side of onion rings I got was also quite tasty. We ordered a bowl of chili, and chicken tenders for the kids and those were also mostly eaten. Service can be kind of slow, but in all honesty, who cares? As long as they get to you they eventually bring your beer and the food comes out rather quickly. Nothing fancy about this place minus the mini golf out back. Yeah, you read thar right...there's free mini golf! Just makes a unique touch to kind of a divey place.

First visit to FABD. The staff/service was awesome, but the food was pretty bland, which is weird because it smells so flavorful outside. My idea of BBQ might be different, but I think that sauce is like ketchup; you only really need it if the primary meat isn't seasoned enough. The brisket seemed well-cooked, with a nice bark, but it just didn't taste like anything. Pulled pork was fairly devoid of flavor as well. The sausage was fine, but drowning in sauce, so it's not really my thing.The BBQ sauce itself was fine but a little sweet. I wish I didn't need to use so much of it to get flavor. To be fair, I am comparing this in my head to Texas-style brisket, hot links, and pulled pork, so maybe it's just different here.I did not try any of the sides. I'm looking forward to trying other BBQ places in Louisville, though. Everything else I've had in town has been great.

I went to Louisville to visit family and wanted BBQ. THERE are ALOT of options in Louisville and my son recommended this place. I must say it is not much to look at, but we decided to eat there. My daughter ordered buffalo chicken wontons and I sampled one or two and they were good. I wish I put cream cheese in the filling to give it a better mouth fill. We shared a sampler platter with double brisket and chicken. I think they gave a lean and fatty brisket. Both were good. My daughter had salmon and she seemed to enjoy it. Overall, all experience. This is definitely a place where you should not judge a book by its cover.

Was in town, Love the Hillbilly Wontons.Going have there meatloaf next trip...Never been disappointed in many trips there

Service was great! The place was clean with great seating. The food just was not hitting. The brisket wasn't cooked long enough so it was very tough and fat wasn't cooked. It also left a weird greasy feeling in my mouth. I didn't eat but two bites of it. The green beans were good but heavy on what tasted like vinegar. The chicken looked very plain. The onion rings were good tho!

Be coming here for years and when I run into somebody from out of town I tell them to about FABD

Service was fantastic... And usually is as this wasn't my first visit, but I am definitely not a regular. The ambience is good in the sense that it's what you expect an excellent barbecue joint to be. The brisket sandwich was delicious in flavor and the texture of the meat was outstanding, the bun was a perfect compliment and their barbecue sauce consistently good as far as recollection serves me... The hillbilly wontons were a little disappointing, but not because of the flavor, but because of the steam causing the wonton to be less crunchy than I would have hoped, however, being a foodie... The realization hits that it would be very hard to make a wonton with that much going on inside of it not steam from the inside... So we will base the flavor as being what is rated and it was delicious, but I will likely not order again because of the technical difficulty in steaming a brisket stuffed wonton. I would say keep up the good work, but being a staple in the community...I am certain it goes without saying!

Was in town for the derby this past weekend and went to Patrick's bar next door for a few late nights and heard from all the locals about this place. Everything was delicious and our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs. I recommend splitting the sampler so you can enjoy the Mac and cheese and extras. All the meat was very good, you have to like smoked meats, but if you don't the sauces definitely help as they are tasty. It was a slower day on Sunday but our service was very good! Check it out next time you're in town.

Great wings and margaritas. Will be back regularly and that's for sure. Quick service, hot food and nice customer service.

So my wife and I went at 6:30 on a Saturday. We sat at the bar, due to all tables being occupied and we lack patience. It is a very wide bar which is bigger than most tables, so plenty of space & privacy. She ordered the brisket sandwich & potato salad, I ordered a special -the taco trio. The food was fantastic at a very reasonable price. The above with two cocktails was $45 after tip. We will definitely be going back.
