red state bbq

redstatefoodtruck - small portions not particularly good. i haven't been to their restaurant in a while but they have afoodtruck that basically peddlesfoodthey cook there that is kept warm in the truck. i am a pretty slim guy and i don't each much but even for me the portion sizes are way too small unless you are into getting little meat and filling up on store bought bread. also, cheese whiz on a brisket phili sandwich? generic reheatedfoodand prices way too high for what you get.

just discovered this restaurant! my family loved the small town atmosphere and thefoodwas great. brisket very tender, awesome corn pudding and green beans. offers several home cooked sides. service was really good. staff very friendly.

thefoodis so good here. its in between lexington and georgetown so you might have to travel a little. i had their 1/2 chicken and it was excellent. they often have chili-mac & cheese which is unique. get their early if you are going for lunch because the line is usually out the door.

don't be fooled by the exterior of this restaurant! this is what a bbq place is supposed to be. all thefoodis great and the portions are what you should get! other bbq joints need to visit this place to learn what kind offoodand portions people really want! keep up the good work red state!

concerned consumer. tried out red state bbq after reading all the reviews and was surprised to find just the opposite.. when we first pulled in we noticed the surroundings. it's located outside a run down motel and the outside wasn't very attractive but we gave it a try anyway due to the reviews we figured nothing but good could be inside. once inside we was greeted by our waitress who seemed friendly at first. she was a young thin girl she introduced herself as holly or haley. haley i think. we ordered some drinks some frickles for our appetizer and a rib dinner and sides for our entrees. our drinks came fast but it took us forever to receive our frickles and when we finally did they was cold and tasted of old oil but we ate them anyways hoping our entrees would be better. long after our order was already placed almost twenty minutes later our waitress comes to inform us there was no more ribs so we ordered brisket instead feeling bummed. took us forever to get our brisket our sides was cold and not that good our brisket was raw our service slow took forever to get our waitress back to the table to switch our brisket in for pulled pork. our waitress's only concern was flirting with any guy in the restaurant that gave her attention. we observed that all of her customers where being neglected while she seemed more concerned to talking to all the guys in the place than noticing our brisket was raw or getting us a refill in our cokes. the manager aslo was present in the dining room but never checked on us as well and never seemed to notice that our waitress was too distracted to give her customers service guess this behavior is customary in this establishment. there was several kids in the restaurant along with my own and was really uncomfortable when to our horror we overhead our waitress using foul language while chatting with other employees at the counter. i'll never bring my children back into this place wouldn't advise anyone to do so either. if it wasn't bad enough when we finally paid our bill used the restroom and made our way out to our car we walked past our waitress out in the parking lot next to a car with what appeared to be a few other employees. we where violated with more inappropriate language.her and other employees and could strongly smell marijuana being used. will never bring my children any where near this establishment again. the management definitely needs to get it together in this place and keep an eye on not only their customers but obviously their employees. worst experience i ever had. bad service rawfoodand we feel violated by foul language and inappropriate behavior by the employees working in the establishment. can't imagine how this establishment has such high ratings. bad food! bad service! and a negative atmosphere! we are a christian family and we do not appreciate or tolerate foul language or drugs!

yum!. i love the pulled pork nachos from red state. i would suggest trying them out. thefoodhas always been good. service is not always the best but thefoodis great. recommend trying.

super tasty!. fun, little, hole-in-the-wall place with super tasty bbq. in traditional southern fashion, the service was a little slow, but thefoodeasily made up for it. if you're going to be around the horse park, this is a great place to stop and eat!

great food. goodfoodjoint. highly recommend if you like good barbq

great food!. i like red state bbq better than sex.

greatfoodgreat service best bbq in ky!

awesomefoodand great atmosphere. if you're looking for an authentic bbq place this is it. we will come back again for sure!

first visit. on saturday i decided to go and eat at red state bbq for the first time, and when i walked in i was really impressed, the service, thefoodand the atmosphere was awesome. i will return in the near future.

very friendly, butfoodnot so. my family and some friends went to red state bbq recently. first time there and was a little disappointed with the service, not enough staff to cover the customers and each table. i hear ppl rave about theirfoodand i didn't find it that good. the corn pudding was burnt and not much flavor, bbq beans was okay and didn't care for the buttered bun on the pulled pork sandwich, to greasey and fell apart. i know the owner has his heart in this bbq place, but he needs to hire more ppl, keep the kitchen help in the kitchen and not serving the customers. good prices and the ppl were very friendly, but need some organization, more ppl working during rush times and having a hostess seat the customers. i don't know if i'll visit there again.
good luck!

the pulled pork sandwich was awesome. my kids love thefoodwhich was amazing to get all three to agree on one place to eat. highly recommend!

sad service; willing to give it a second shot because of that bbq sauce. this place was highly recommended by a friend of mine, so the next time we were in the area we knew we had to hit it up. now as a caveat to this review, we were there at 8 pm on a sunday night, so i understand that thefoodwas not going to be absolutely amazing and with that in mind--i really liked the sweet barbecue sauce it was very tangy and like honey and as someone who can't stand even the smallest amount of heat it was exactly what i was looking for. the potato salad was a touch on the vinegary side, but potato salad is one of those things where each persons preferences and personal history fall so much into the taste that my opinion can be construed as entirely biased. the corn pudding was a little sweet, but fairly decent. the pulled pork was a little heavy on the gristle, which i am not a fan of, but i think if we had come earlier we would have had a better pork selection.

that said, a friend of mine ordered an oktoberfest beer and it was skunky and off. they wouldn't let him return his drink unless he paid for the replacement. the waitress was sweet if a little bit flighty, but again, sunday night right before closing. i got the impression that this would've been an amazing place to eat saturday for lunch and i would definitely try it again.

for the wonderful review it had, i was slightly underwhelmed.
