Mama Lou's BBQ and Gifts

This place has the best bbq in Kentucky.  I have eaten at many bbq joints and this one is the best.  I had the pulled pork.  It was moist with a great smoke flavor.  The hot bbq sauce is about the best that I've had in Kentucky.  I also had the green beans and the fried potatoes.  They were excellent, just like my mother and grandmother used to cook.  Three of us ate for under $25.  They don't take credit cards.  That is the only drawback to this great restaurant.

Great hole-in-the-wall place with amazing and affordable food.  We stumbled on it during vacation after our first choice, a bbq joint down the street, had been closed due to a fire. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful (although they didn't know the difference between prime rib and spare ribs). Service was quick and the best southern food we've had him a long time!

I ate here while on vacation and am glad this place is not near my house because I would not be able to drive by this place and not stop in!  The prices are more than reasonable.   The waitress was really sweet and patiently answered my questions about what in the world chess pie was (it is really tasty!).  

All the food I had was good but I have to say the highlight for me was the cornbread.  They cook it on the griddle and I had never had it that way before.  I have no idea why everyone isn't doing this - it tastes so much better!  

If I had more time in the area I would have loved to come back.  There was a baked potato on the menu that had pulled pork listed as a topping.  I saw one being brought out to another table and it looked really good!
