Frankfort Avenue Beer Depot

I got a point of pulled pork, a side of green beans, and corn bread. They were all very delicious. I got it togo so I can't really say anything about their service. The food was DELICIOUS!! Will definitely be coming back here. Can't wait to try other stuff on the menu.

The reason I did not give it 1 star is that the BBQ was actually pretty good it was just the rest of my experience was not so great.

I walk in and there is both huge TV and jukebox blaring so loud on a Sunday at noon that I could hardly talk to my friend across the table. Is that really necessary to have that much stimulation going on?

I ordered 1/4lb of brisket and 1/4lb of pulled pork. I ate what was brought to me not thinking a thing about it. They both came in little styrofoam cups and did not look like a huge amount of food. Imagine my shock when I got the bill and she had brought me almost 3 times the amount I asked for. My bill for lunch was $24. I was going to say something but I thought if I ate it I should pay for it.

If I return to Louisville for another visit I will steer very clear of this place. If you like the kind of atmosphere where there is ear splitting music AND television going on then this is your spot.

It seems to me that there is a significant divergence in the opinions of this place.  I can't, for the life of me, figure out how anyone could rave about it.

The ribs were dry, still had membrane attached, and were over-smoked.  They'd been parboiled or sapped of flavor in some other manner.  I should have been able to taste *meat*.  I could not.

The rub was bland and overwhelming at the same time.  It lacked punch.  It lacked bite.  I tasted a lot pf paprika and little else.  It left me feeling like I had a mouth full of sawdust.

The accompanying sauce was too sweet and one dimensional.  Asking for the "hot" version didn't really improve matters.  It was the same sauce with what seemed to be Tabasco added.

The potato salad was actually my favorite part of the meal.  The dressing was more complex than a plain mayonnaise based dressing.  It was good but didn't rescue the rest of the meal from itself.

The baked beans were run of the mill at best.  The rest of the sides were just not memorable.

The service was spotty.  Glasses remained empty for longer than they should have.  Any decent server would notice that the plates remained largely untouched.  Not here.  Seems that's more common than I would have expected.  

We won't be back.
