The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the vibe is awesome, the prices are unbeatable, and the speed of the service is unmatched. I ordered the jambalaya, followed by a half-chicken, half-shrimp étouffée platter. The portions are absolutely massive. I even took leftovers back to my hotel room and still wanted more the next day. It is that good. If you are in town, do not skip this spot. I am 100% coming back again tomorrow before I fly home!

However, coming into this establishment - everybody's so friendly and so welcoming this is how I knew that the restaurant was going to be fantastic. Not only did the gentleman at the front walk us through the menu and how to order he gave some great recommendations as well. Food came out real quick and has great flavours at a great price point and I enjoy that you can do half size so you can try more than one. I ordered the crawfish etoufee. So many different hot sauce flavours to try and get them in a little sauce container the bread oh my God I could devour that so good the whole meal. Honestly, the flavours were delicious. If I'm ever in this area again, I'm definitely gonna come back.

It was my first time going on a Saturday night and I was nervous they would be sold out by the time…read morewe got there. We still took the chance and I'm so glad we did. The only thing they were out of was the smoked turkey which just gives me a reason to go back. We ordered almost all the meats, plus sides of mac and cheese, greens, and potato salad. The meal also came with blueberry cornbread and regular cornbread, and we finished it off with their homemade Biscoff dessert, which was so unique and so good. This was honestly some of the best BBQ I've had!! The meats were incredibly flavorful and tender and the sides were just as good. I genuinely think this place is underrated. The service was amazing! Everyone was super kind and welcoming even though we came close to closing time. We never felt rushed. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, both clean and perfect for groups. I'll 100% be back.

Although we parked on a side street initially, we saw that there was a separate parking lot right next to the place that had plenty of spaces open. The staff here was super welcoming, not rushing us to order as they cut the brisket right in front of us for other customers. We both got the Brisket Sandwich combo which came with a side (we got potato salad and mac n cheese) which the staff member asked about what type of cut we wanted (fatty, lean, mix of both). We both got a mix. There is not too many seats inside so all the tables were full that day, but there is seating outside. The staff member was willing to use the table where they keep the utensils and sauces for everyone so we could eat inside (it was a bit chilly that day) but I didn't mind sitting outside. Although it was cold outside, I honestly did not care after taking a bite of the sandwich. Juicy and melting in my mouth, I have to say this is some of the best brisket I've ever had! I highly recommend pairing it with their BBQ sauce which really pulled it all together. Their potato salad was okay, as I prefer a more pickley potato salad, but their mac n cheese was delicious. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Lexington and looking for a quick, delicious BBQ meal!

We had reservations but ended up getting there early and just had our dinner at the bar. We both had cocktails which we enjoyed along with the deviled eggs for an appetizer. The eggs were okay--a bit spicier than I would have preferred and I would probably try a different app next time I go (there will be a next time for sure!) My shrimp and grits were great but honestly the bourbon glazed wings that my fiance had were the show stoppers. Large sized wings that were smoked perfectly with the right amount of crunch topped with a sweet but not too sweet bourbon glaze. I will definitely get those next time I go. The vibes were casual and chill--the perfect place to pre-game before a game or event or the perfect place to meet friends for a drink. I'd definitely recommend!

Good price, good quality. No complaints there. For food, we had a mix at the table: fish, steak, and burgers. The fish was off. The texture was strange, almost like the skin had been left on even though it wasn't, and it had a fishy taste that just wasn't right. The burger, on the other hand, was very good and easily the best value of everything we tried. If I ever go back, that's probably what I'd order. The biggest disappointment was the service. Our server clearly wasn't having a good day, didn't seem interested in us, and let our drinks sit empty long enough that we had to wave him down just to get refills. It really took away from the experience. I'd give the place another shot, but if the next visit ends up feeling like this one, it'll probably fall off my list of places to go.

Next time I got the brisket I wanted, and my husband got the pork belly. Again, I'm craving that pork belly. I also loved the ribs, but the pork belly and brisket are the best things I've tried. J heard the salmon is good, but they usually don't have it til 2pm. I've always been looking for a good BBQ place in Lexington other than my favorite (Blue Door), and Porterhouse is it. I think it is equally as good as Blue Door. We're so lucky to have 2 excellent BBQ places in town!!
