 hand holding a sandwich
Dylan G.

The weather in Louisville has finally improved, so I decided to try one of the food trucks near the class I am taking on East Market Street. This was my first time at Bourbon Bent and it was amazing! I tried the brisket, it's injected with nitro milk stout before they smoke it. One of the best briskets I have ever had, hands down! I had my sandwich fully loaded with the spicy BBQ sauce. The spicy sauce is really good, and has a nice lingering heat without drowning out the other flavors. Give it a try! Next time I would probably try the BBQ tacos or the nachos. The man in front of me had the tacos and they looked really good, loaded with meat and toppings. Prices are reasonable, my enormous sandwich was $9, and most menu items were $9 or $10 for massive portions. They do accept cards which is nice. Service was great, very fast and friendly. The truck owner told me that when the weather gets warmer they have an expanded menu that includes cokes etc. If it's cold/bad weather bear in mind the menu will be reduced. If weather is nice there are lots of benches and places to enjoy your food steps away at waterfront park. Plus you get a nice view! If you are near Humana, Slugger Field, Waterfront Park, or NuLu, this is an easy walk and a great experience!

Nachos

Massive nachos for the cost of $10. Pork was very tender and had a nice smokiness to it. Service was very friendly. Great combination of sweet, tang, and smoke from the sauce, slaw, pulled pork as well as great crunchy texture of the chips themselves. The cheese is the cohesive that brings it all together, like a happy family. Enjoy!

Best nachos ever!! The meat was smoky and tender and the combination of all the ingredients was a flavor explosion! Loved the slaw and cilantro on top. They added such a unique flavor. I hope to find this truck again. Can't wait to try some other menu items. Guys were very friendly and got my food fast. I asked for a bit of spicy bbq sauce and sweet bbq sauce and they obliged. Love it when customer service is so great. Thanks for a special food experience!

Got the nachos from the truck at the flea off market a few months back. There was a twist tie mixed in!

I had the nachos several month back, at the October flea off market. Didn't realize a twist tie was mixed in until it was in my mouth. Which was such a gross and unpleasant feeling. I know they have good food here but I don't think I'd be able to eat it again without thinking of that sharp twist tie jabbing in my mouth.

Brisket Chili is really good and would highly recommend to my friends back in Wisconsin. The Mac and Cheese with Beer Cheese is really good as well!

When you walk in, it really brings you back to the olden days when BBQ shops used to be retro! I was a big fan of this! The food was superb! I will say I highly recommend the pork slider and the dry rub chicken wings! Also, the sliders really were a good option that Angelica recommended! Hands down the best waitress and very informative of the menu! The service, like I said earlier, was great! Angelica was easy to talk to and gave great recommendations! The ambiance was retro, and I loved that it reminded me of the past of the BBQ spots I have been in long ago! Overall, I will say give MMP&BBQ!

Loved that she sat down at our booth as one of us to take our order. The atmosphere is very basic. Old school feel but minimal wall decorations but we did love the authentic Bob Ross painting with authenticity! The food: 1. Wings: good. Blue cheese could be better but wasn't the worst. 2. Meatball slider- I NEVER order meatloaf at restaurants because i enjoy my own meatloaf. The waitress suggested it and I disliked it. I saw some bell pepper in there and it was dry. Not for me. 3. Mac and cheese- pretty good. Very cheesy 4. Cornbread- my son ate more than half of my first piece so i ordered a second. The second was smooth as butter and DELICIOUS! Cornbread was the big win for me here. True score: 3.5 (They are known as the best wings in town but they were not the best we have ever had. That goes to Rodney Scott.)

You can smell the barbecue before you even walk in! The inside is pretty small with limited seating, but it smells absolutely amazing. Being a Texas girl, I'm pretty picky when it comes to barbecue, especially brisket. I have to give them credit because the brisket was fantastic! It had very little fat, was incredibly tender, and practically fell apart just from moving it around. Unfortunately, the sides didn't impress me nearly as much. I ordered the mac and cheese and barbecue baked beans. Both had a strong, peppery kick that just wasn't my preference. The mac and cheese was especially spicy, and the beans had a similar flavor. The gentleman who helped me was extremely kind, which I appreciated. While the brisket was definitely worth trying, the sides weren't enough to make me want to go out of my way to return. If you're a brisket lover, though, I'd absolutely recommend giving that a try!

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

The crunch on the coating is different than anything I've ever eaten. We really enjoyed the Duck and pork belly sliders. A side salad is big enough for two, depending on your hunger level.

I ordered the smoked turkey sandwich with fried and green beans. I added a side of ranch and mustard. My husband had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and baked beans. He added spicy pickles and ranch. The sandwiches were excellent. Smoked to perfection while staying juicy. The sides were delicious. Ranch and mustard is made in house and it shows! Knox waited on us and was attentive and thoughtful. The restaurant is casual and feels like a warm neighborhood place. Louisville has many bbq restaurants to choose from but others can be inconsistent and lacks the cool energy of Momma's. If you want an outstanding meal every time, you'll get that at Momma's.

The place is packed all the time the food comes out super hot and delicious portions have not changed. Their price on their main items has stayed the same if not, gotten a little cheaper They did not gouge everybody through everything that's going on with the economy. I love it. The one out on Hurstbourne Lane is the king of them all you're ready for some good barbecue this is still the go to place.
