Talk about a totally random place to be able to find. Thankfully my boyfriend's family lives about 5 minutes away so when we go visit we're normally able to swing in for some food.
For the most part I always get a chipped mutton sandwich (I had no idea what mutton even was before I met my boyfriend...) and it's really tasty! Also, the cheese balls are always something we get as well.
I've been going off and on for about 7+ years and while the food is still really good, there have been a time or two recently where it wasn't tasting quite the same, but well still be going back for sure!
I love this place. Â I had never even heard of chipped mutton until I came here for the first time almost 10 years ago. Â Now we stop here during every trip to see the in-laws. They have built a much better restaurant since fire ravaged the place a few years ago.
I gave it only 3 stars because it is terribly inconsistent. Â The service and menu are lacking. Â Biggest complaint:
There are absolutely no vegetables on the menu unless they are deep fried. Â
The chipped mutton is worth a visit and they have a super yummy bean soup too.
Those two things alone deserve 5 stars, but alas, I have to review the whole experience...
Peak Bothers Bar-B-Que is another annual stop for us and its Bar-B-Que that's as good as it gets. Â They use a vinegar based dip and we love it. I usually have the chipped mutton for sure and I have tried about everything on the menu including beef, pork, and chicken and of course the lamb and it's all very good. Â We take a smoked ham home with us and carry on our Bar-B-Que sensation for a few more days after we get back home. Â We even make a terrific bean soup with the trimmings and the ham bone. Â They had a fire a few years back and boy were we disappointed for a couple of years while they rebuilt the place. Â It used to be quite a dive, but the new construction makes it a very trendy looking place. Â And they kept the tradition of great food. I know all our relatives go back at least once a year to enjoy the food. If you're in the area it's a must do place to eat. Â I give it a solid 5 stars.
Review Source:Ummm, Peak Bros is not in Wheatcroft, KY. It's in Waverly, KY. Both towns are pretty much blink-and-they're-gone kind of places but Waverly is actually a little less off the beaten path. A little.
Peak's was recently rebuilt after a fire but from what I understand, it's back as strong as ever, serving cold beer and BBQ to the locals and the occasional passersby. Next time I'm passing through, I think I'll stop on by for a mutton sandwich. Yum.
