It's hard not to appreciate a place like this. Selective hours, selective menu, HUGE smokers. A great little oasis. Ribs are the specialty and made to feed the masses. These aren't cooked 36 hours or anything, but there are no bad surprises. Everything is red and sticky and smoky. The wings are too. And you won't get quite enough napkins, and you'll taste it between your teeth six hours later.And it's really suited for this corner at 15th and Oak, on the edge of a residential neighborhood but appropriate for a drive-up and ordering through a window. The only thing they've needed to do to adjust to COVID is wear masks.

In Louisville for work and stumbled upon this place with some coworkers. Limited parking and no dining area but that's ok. Looked like 6 large smokers going and smelled delicious. Rib tips are the special here and were pretty good but could use a little smoke time for more tender meat. Pineapple slaw was surprisingly very good, wasn't sure how the combo of pineapple and cole slaw would be but very good. Mac and cheese wasn't anything special but had a little flavor. The Mac was definitely over cooked. The meat portion size was fine but the sides were very small but good for 1 person. I would recommend this local place and I would go back to try some other food.

Legit BBQ. The real deal. Coleslaw was delicious. Ribs were perfect. Pork sandwiches were my favorite. The BBQ was just right. My daughter enjoyed the BBQ burger. Great customer service, everyone was so friendly. Worth a stop! You won't regret it.

First time here on 8/15. I was waiting in line thinking about ordering the tips and the lady taking orders let me try one before I committed. It was absolutely bomb so I ordered a large tips, chicken wings, and polish sausage. I got 5 small sides as well (pineapple slaw, potato salad, green beans, baked beans, mac n cheese). Everything was smoked perfectly and the pineapple slaw had me feeling some type of way. The portions of meat are heavy handed and the customer service was excellent. Very reasonably priced.

i seem to start many reviews with the words: "i really wanted to love this place!" (as a matter of fact, all of my reviews should start out that way.)at louisvlle smoker's bbq, we tried the rib tips because i had seen them highly reviewed. sometimes, ribs in general can be sketchy because they are expensive, therefore many restaurants feel no shame in serving stale ribs. (see smokey bones)yesterday, our rib tips were very tough, dry & stale tasting!every place that serves ribs should at least visit shirley mae's & order ribs. sadly, yesterday will be out last visit.

A great drive up BBQ joint in Old Lou. Specializing in beef tips, ribs, and pulled pork. Tried the polish sausage, Mac and cheese, and pineapple cole slaw and all was great.

Wish my rib tips were good. I ask that my rib tips not be burnt. The worker told me the rib tips aren't burnt. I was given burnt ones at the very bottom. The rib tips seemed old like it's been sitting in a fridge for a week or so. Some of the meat was tough to chew. I really wanted some good rib tips, sadly louisville smokers rib tips aren't!
