Smitty's Southern Style BBQ

Picked up 2 pounds of pulled pork to take to my daughters house. This is without a doubt the best BBQ I have had. Service was prompt and friendly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I will go back for more.

Food was great. You know it's going to be good when you step in and the smell of grease and grilling onions hits you in the face.

The food was delicious! Ms Bonnie makes the most amazing brisket (says it takes 3 days for her process) that is by far the best I have had in a long, long time. I also got the catfish and you don't need to add anything to it , it's that good. They were such amazing people to chat with and they make it feel like home when you talk with them. Also you get so much food for your price, you won't be disappointed. So when you come through Richmond on I-75, swing on through, and tell Ms Bonnie I said "hi".

Went for the first time today, I got the mailman and it was the best sandwich I've ever had, definitely will be back.

Great neighborhood BBQ place.Food tastes great. Family run.They also have BBQ trucks and trailers to do events.It's the real thing.

We've lived here in Richmond for 2 years and did not know about this hidden gem. My husband and I got the pulled pork, which was so tender it nearly melted in your mouth and the Smitty's sauce was EXCELLENT. We also had baked beans, potato salad and mac and cheese, all of which were fantastic. The Mac and cheese was so creamy and the potato salad and the baked beans were the best we've ordered anywhere. The service was wonderful. Very sweet ladies. It's not a 5-star as far as appearance, but it IS clean and we love this kind of atmosphere. It's homey. DELICIOUS food, good-sized servings, very nice owners, and all at a fair price. Going to be regulars there, for sure!

If you love barbecue, you have to eat here.I have been to so many BBQ places in Lexington and Richmond. Some are good, some are meh, some just don't deserve your time.But Smitty's? Amazing. Drive down East Irvine Street, around a couple of big curves, until you come to a large, white building. I admit, I almost drove right by it, but thank goodness for GPS! The smoker's right in front, so you can also look for that. The inside isn't fussy, but the tables are clean and the food is good. Pulled pork sandwich, 5 bucks. Add a side like mac and cheese and a drink for 2 more, and it's well worth it (they don't skimp on their portions).I even had some leftover today, microwaved it, and it was still so juicy and delicious. If something can survive the microwave without drying out, it's GOOD.

What great BBQ and the vegetables were fresh and very goodOwner was fabulous to work with a group coming in at last minuteHighly recommended

My wife and I went here after reading reviews on Yelp and thought we'd give it a try. We were greeted by Jeff who works there. Super friendly guy. He informed us they were out of brisket. A big order had been placed prior to our visit. All the more reason for us to return. We both had the rib sandwiches and they were fall off the bone, flavored perfectly and the homemade sauce was awesome! It is an authentic bbq place. Jeff gave us the history of how Smitty's started. It started out as a food truck and grew into a brick and mortar restaurant. It is well worth the trip. If you are near Richmond, KY you will not regret it.

Amazing service. Incredibly delicious food. Totally worth the drive to this wonderful place. Ribs were to die for. Pulled pork also super delicious. Friendly people topped it off!
