    The bar...
    Gregg H.

    Very nice place with great atmosphere and delicious food. The pulled pork was delicious! Well seasoned and bbq'd perfectly to a tender delicious state. The "plate" is served with two sides, the baked beans and seasoned fries were my choice and they paired wonderfully. The iced tea is fresh and delicious as well. The food comes out quickly, but could have been a little warmer. They also have a decent beer selection and a full bar to top off the great bbq. The thick and spicy sauce is my favorite so far! But it is delicious and you can't miss.

    Chicken lollipops

    I am NEVER disappointed by the food here. Plus the restaurant is super cute and the humans that work here never let you down.

    Food was incredible, and the service was even better! Super cute and comfortable chairs. Can't wait to come back!

    Cowboy Nachos.

    My family and I got to meet and speak with the General Manager AND the fella who owns Homer's and Hometown Roots. Both of them were really welcoming. They had a live band which was really nice for bar patrons. We were hungry and waited like an hour and a half for a table at Hometown Roots. The staff suggested we go to Homer's if we couldn't contain our hunger. We sat at the bar and listened to the music. It was fun and relaxing. We ordered nachos, which were served on thick potato chips which is an interesting spin. The one criticism is that we paid for chopped brisket to be added to the nachos. I make my own brisket and we appreciate how expensive that stuff is, but there was hardly any brisket on the nachos. What was there was tender, lean, and juicy. It is hard to get that combination just right. Would we get it again? Yes. We would. As we talked, the General Manager introduced us to the jalapeño cornbread served at Hometown Roots. Yep! As busy as he was, he ran next door to get us some cornbread. Dang. That was probably better than the stuff I make!

    2meat sampler with ribs and brisket

    If you leave Homers BBQ hungry, it's your own fault!!!! They had catered a meeting at my husband's office, and he said we HAD to go try it in person. Big platters of succulent BBQ, served Texas-Style. Everything comes on a big tray. We tried 4 different BBQ meats, and all were outstanding. Melt in your mouth brisket, big juicy ribs.... And 5 different sauces to enjoy. Creative sides, all were perfect accompaniment to the rich BBQ. Noted was the Cowboy Caviar, and the Street Corn. The host and server were friendly, polite, smiling, and our server was on top of drinks and service without hovering. Homers is family friendly, and adults can enjoy a grown- up drink as well. The only thing I could have wished for was a hot n spicy BBQ sauce, because I like my BBQ with a little kick. We will return to Homers!!!!

    Pork quesadilla

    I was visiting the area for kids sports and decided to try Homers for lunch. I can't say enough positive things about the amazing food, great service, and fun vibe. I had the pork quesadilla and it is one of the best things I've had to eat in a long time.

    Chili rubbed brisket with mac and cheese and potato salad

    I just moved to Henderson and had already used Yelp to search for BBQ. My apartment manager recommended Homer's. No wonder I could not find it because it hadn't been added to Yelp yet. I took care of that and will be back ....A LOT! Homer's is in a downtown building that looks like it is remodeled with TVs on the wall and music playing through the restaurant. There are garage doors to open out into the street. Homer's has been open for only 2 months. I was greeted promptly and made my way to the counter to order. I did not see a combo plate but the owner was happy to oblige. I chose the brisket plate with an add on of pulled pork for 4 dollars with potato salad and Mac and cheese. It was all phenomenal! The brisket is rubbed with chili powder and it was smoked to perfection. The pulled pork was juicy and tender. The mac and cheese was solid. And the potato salad was made with red potatoes in some kind of sour cream conglomeration with cheese. It was fabulous! There are 5 sauces on the table like BBQ joints should have. The 5 with a description are: Western Kentucky - sweet vinegar base, Alabama White, Carolina Mustard, Thick and Spicy - ketchup base with a little kick, and Sweet and Tangy - also a ketchup base. All were phenomenal but I believe I liked the Alabama White the best. Roll Tide! Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! This was AMAZING BBQ and don't pass it up!

    Brisket sandwich and burgoo

    Homer's has a nice vibe with the garage doors on the front of the building. I was there during the summer kick off that was going on in the streets. They were busy and having computer issues so that didn't help. I sat at the bar and heard a bunch of complaining from the staff. That's my primary reason for the 4 star review. The food was delicious. The brisket was nice and smokey and the fries were fantastic and perfectly cooked. I also had to try a cup of the burgoo, which in my best description is spiked up beef stew with smoked pork and chicken. It was very tasty as well. All in all this is a great place for a small group or a quick bite by yourself.

    The absolute driest bone-in chicken I have EVER had. All pieces were completely charbroiled. My husband's ribs were decent.

Everyone that I had contact with starting from making reservations over the phone to leaving after dinner were very pleasant! The food was excellent. The service was as well! We were seated downstairs. Neither of us knew there was a downstairs! It is a nicely decorated space and very comfortable. They were very busy but we were waited on timely and did not feel rushed.

    My husband and I were celebrating Valentine's Day and chose to go somewhere new to us…read more The restaurant itself is a very well decorated and cozy place. The menu tonight was predetermined with great options. Service was a little slow tonight, but that is to be expected when the entire restaurant is at capacity with reservations. My husband and I loved the appetizers. It was a sample of shrimp cocktail, spinach dip with pita bread, and sriracha honey bacon brussel sprouts. I ordered the garden salad for my next course while my husband chose the broccoli mushroom chowder. We each enjoyed our choice. For the main course I had the marinated grilled chicken with creamy spinach and artichoke, and my husband had the 16 ounce bone in ribeye. Both main dishes came with a twice baked potato and roasted vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, bell pepper). My chicken was slightly overcooked, but it wasn't too noticeable with the creamy topping. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed the sides. We got dessert to go as we were so full by that point. I chose the carrot cake and he got the cheesecake. Our son was very happy we decided to bring the desserts home so he could also try them. Both were delicious, but the carrot cake was the standout. We look forward to returning to have their regular menu.
