Their chicken pasta salad is the best anywhere. The place is casual with a fun bbq picnic vibe. The servers are friendly and quick. They are able to seat a large group and serve efficiently. Different bbq sauces to choose from. There is something for the whole family. read more

Came on a Sunday for lunch and it was super packed, but we were still able to get seated right away. It's a fun rustic cozy place, a little crowded but still comfortable. The server was super nice and welcoming. We really enjoyed the food, especially corn bread and and ribs. The only complaint is that we ordered a side of coleslaw and reminded the server once but it still never made it to our table, maybe because it was so busy. Not even sure if it was added to the bill since the receipt wasn't itemized. Overall still good though, will consider coming again! read more

Mark's Feed Store has catered both my daughter's weddings and they cannot be beat. Their price is very reasonable. They have many choices for food and appetizer options. Their service is fantastic and that may be the best part! They will bring fresh hot food, set it up and serve it, bus tables, and pack up leftovers. You will have more than enough food. They supply paper goods and tea/ lemonade/ ice. They can even cut & serve cake. They can supply drink dispensers but we bring our own so that when they leave we still have tea & lemonade available. You won't have to worry about anything. All you need to do is place your order and have some tables & table cloths ready for them then enjoy the delicious food! read more

We wound up at Mark's spur of the moment on a Monday night for our group of 5. Seated right away and great service all night. I hadn't been inside for a long time - and maybe this is the best option compared to pick up. I ordered the 3 slider platter with pork, green beans, and potato salad. I was somewhat surprised, happily surprised, my sliders had a healthy amount of pork. It'll definitely be my order next time and the rest of the table was envious. Monday is free dessert! For all of us! I loved the Oreo banana pudding. Others got buttermilk pie with ice cream and a hot fudge sundae. read more

If there is one observation that I have made regarding this establishment, it is that nothing changes. I mean that in a good way. The food quality is always the same (really good). The service is always the same (friendly & hospitable). The dining atmosphere is always condusive to enjoying the meal and dining experience. I can share this information as I have visited the Highlands and the Middletown locations frequently. Never once have I experienced a faux pas. It doesn't matter what you order, it will be good. The portion sizes are generous and the flavors are there. read more

Great tasting food! Back porch area is great for a spring or summer day. Four stars because price doesn't seem to match quantity of food. read more

Came in for a quick lunch while down in Louisville area for work. Have been to Mark's a few times in the past and always had positive experiences. Ordered the brisket sandwich lunch special with the green beans and a sweet tea. Tea was fantastic to start. Brisket was a bit dry but solid overall, especially with the pickles, onions, and their sauce. The star of the show was the green beans, which were some of my favorite and most flavorful I've ever had with the bits of pork in there. Overall, a tremendous value and Emily did a great job getting my food out quickly and refilling my tea a few times to get me back out on the road in no time. Will definitely be back when in the area. read more

Good rustic BBQ restaurant. I had a full rack of ribs with French fries and side salad. The salad was fresh and crisp and the French fries were also good. The ribs were a little dry and over cooked. The ribs had a good taste just a little chewy and dry. The atmosphere was rustic country. The only complaint I had it was a little cold most people were eating with coats on. The service was excellent very friendly and kept things moving. Overall I would give this place a try if looking for a BBQ place. read more

Great food! Service was good! Bbq sauces were great! A lot of food great price! Loved the ribs! read more

I love this place! It's always been a favorite of mine. Heck, they catered our wedding! The ribs are the best in town and the buttermilk pie is my favorite pie, and it's super affordable. I've paid more for one dessert than the whole pie is there, I really appreciate that! Services is always great! If you want BBQ Mark's is the only way to go. read more

The food was good (and fast), and the waitress was very nice and very helpful. If you get a chance, ask to buy a cup of the seasoned salt that they have on the table. It's good on almost everything. read more

Mark's feed store in Middletown is the iconic barbecue place is a staple for all the locals in this area. Anytime you eat there all the menu items are delicious. I personally like the brisket that's my favorite. Staff is always friendly and courteous and ready to make it right. read more

The family dined again at Mark's Feed Store and went away full of delicious food. Best meal was the Combo Rib Dinner, Selection #1 which consisted of Ribs (3), pork, brisket, & honey wings (3), 2 sides & country toast. The portions were large enough to satisfy plus leftovers to enjoy at home. Fried Pickles were outstanding, you gotta try. The Burgoo was not up to their usual standards, looked like what u get with Dinty Moore Beef Stew. BBQ sandwich's were excellent, all sides were yummy as well. Service was excellent & ambiance fun, like eating in a clean barn. The other couple had never been so they were sent home with a free bottle of B-B-Q sauce & a slice of Old Fashioned Milk Pie. Highly recommend Mark's Feed Store to anyone who enjoys good B-B-Q. read more

Service was fast and good. Location is cool - many signs of the original feed store. Food was just ok. The ribs and potato salad were the best items. read more

First time there end of March. Alpha gal allergy, no red meats. Got the Bird in a nest which was fantastic. Straw onion rings perfect. Wings best ever. Not just the tasty honey sauce but the crisp coating texture amazing. Huge food portion. Mom raved on her BBQ sandwhich and slaw. Couldn't believe the mon free desserts included the buttermilk pie sundae. Was surprised to see it come in a mug, but it was decadently delicious. Meals were perfect but service a little less so- didn't check back much and overcharged us for something we didn't get which we fortunately caught. ​it was a weird time of day between lunch and dinner hours. read more

In town for a wedding, and stopped here for dinner. Purchased Bar-B-Q Sandwich with two sides. Mac & Cheese and Green Beans. The Server - Mackenzie L. was great! She recommended the Green Beans and I must say, they were the best green beans that I've ever consumed. I've had BBQ in a lot of places and must say that this is one of the best. if I ever return to an area where Mark's Feed store exists, I will certainly be a repeat customer. The meal for two people ended up being $33.50. Check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Never a bad experience when at Marks. Tonight the hubby and I wanted to support local and were in the mood for BBQ. I specifically, was in the mood for ribs. We were immediately greeted with a genuine smile and on a Friday at 6:30, we were immediately sat for a table of 3. The parking lot is tiny and frustrating, although it may appear they're packed, it's a safe bet to go inside to be sure. I ordered the bbq ribs (full slab) and only ate half as I fully intended to take the rest home. For my sides I ordered the potato salad and chicken pasta salad. It was all so good! My husband ordered the fish sandwich which was humongous to put lightly. He said it was okay but didn't have much of a flavor other than for the fried batter. It was a nice, well lit and clean space and I believe it is also their original location. read more

Services was great. Food just ok. We all ate different things and within 10 min of leaving there. We all got sick. NEVER AGAIN!

The food was hot and fresh. Unlimited refills. Our server was incredible and super attentive. Also management came up to follow up if the serves was good and it was. Mark's feed store gave off a small town diner feel where we all feel like a family eat out. Highly recommend this place! read more

For me this place is the definition of average. I used to love going here, but the quality of the food has severely went downhill over the last decade. The bbq is very average, many of the meats come out try, flavorless, and very overcooked. They shine with their side dishes, apps, and sauces though. Theres no real thing here that really ever makes me want to come out of my way and stop. Staff is always friendly and attentive, and the interior is just fine. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere in the area, but ultimately that's up to each individual! read more

Consistently good service and great barbecue. Large portions make a great value. The original sauce compliments the meat so be sure to ask for extra if you've ordered takeout. or heck buy a bottle. The buttermilk pie is addictive! read more

The food was very questionable. It was not up to the standards. It should've been for a Friday night. The appetizer was so greasy that you couldn't eat it due to the oil that was in it the ribs taste like they had been frozen and microwaved. The sweet potato fries was very soggy the very worst conditions I've ever ate at for a $55 meal. The only thing that was really good about this meal was the baked beans they actually was good I don't think I'll ever go back to this establishment and I wouldn't encourage anybody else read more

Just happened to stop in here because my names mark and I always wanted to open a feed store. lol. Food was great the servers were super friendly and gave us free jar of bbq for being first time customers. Would recommend it to anyone in the area. read more

Copy of the review for Mark's Feed Store Middletown 11422 Shelbyville Rd. Louisville, KY 40243 On 7/10/24 we had 20 Residents of the Swan Pointe HOA go to have dinner at Mark's Feed Store in Middletown. We ate in the enclosed porch area and our server this night was Ethan H. He did the best job going around and introducing himself and collecting the beverage orders from us while we were all arriving ,getting seated and checking out the menu. I think that their most popular orders from us tonight were Ribs, Chicken Wings, Briskett, BBQ Pork, Beef, Chicken and Turkey. They also have Cheeseburgers that we ordered that really tasted better than the last cookout we went to. They were on great big buns with Lettuce, Tomatoes, Onions, and Pickles. There was a great variety of sides to choose from. We really had a great time talking to each other while Ethan went around the table taking orders. He was really quick in taking the orders, he did a great job. We met Susan, the Marketing Manager. Very soon the food trays started coming out. The entees were quickly delivered and everyone started eating. I forgot to take pictures of the food because I was so hungry!! While it was quiet from everyone eating, Ethan went back around the tables telling everyone his name again and checking on refills. As we were finishing up eating, boxes were passed out for the leftovers and the checks. Settling the bills went very well and we all agreed that Nathan had been a really great server. Taking care of 20 people with 1 server, nerver went so smoothly. He was so friendly and kind. We really had a good time! read more

I have been a huge fan of Mark's Feed Store since it first opened when I was a child! The food is always consistently delicious - while it is all great, the Burgoo and the homemade buttermilk pie are both must try's if it's your first time dining there. I am partial to the pork bbq, all of the sides are wonderful as well. The service is always wonderful, from the moment you approach the host/hostess stand until you get the check. Everyone is fun and friendly. Which isn't surprising, given that the overall ambiance of the restaurant is also fun and friendly. I will warn you though - come hungry. It is a lot of food and you'll want to eat every bite! read more

We just ordered a family meal to-go tonight and it couldn't have been more amazing!! We got the beef brisket, fried corn on the cob, red potato salad, toasts, bbq sauce, onions and pickles. EVERYTHING was fresh and incredible!! We could not have enjoyed it more. Highly recommend getting our exact dinner!! You will love it! read more

A must-try spot in Middletown, but very hit or miss in terms of food. The fried fish is surprisingly excellent, and I love their pulled pork. A lot of the sides are really good, like the sweet potato fries or the potato salad. The onion straws always sound delicious, and they taste great, but they make me sick every time. Learn from my errors. I've always had good service here- waitstaff is always friendly and attentive. As far as ambiance, it's a renovated barn, and holds that rustic charm. Nice, casual spot for lunch, just avoid the onion straws. read more

Got the same meal here twice. The first time it was delicious, warm, fresh tasting, worth every penny. Got it again on 4/22 and very disappointment with the inconsistency. The ribs tasted awful. The potato salad was huge chunks of egg and potato. The first time I got it was finely chopped. I literally had half an egg in it today and a huge piece of potato. We also decided the Mac & cheese wasn't great. Kinda watery. Just wasn't something I'd suggest. But most importantly, I am very ill now. Consistency is so important so I hope this review doesn't fall on deaf ears. And they review proper processes with the staff. It was not worth what we paid for the two meals. read more

This is my family's go to local restaurant for a good home cooked meal including all the fixings! I also order carry out several times a month when I just can't decide on what to get or go. Their barbecue and potato salad are amazing and always hits the spot. read more

I'm just acknowledging this thankful Thursday, I have to give a shout out to Marks feed store. Excellent, consistent service, servers that truly care and love their job. Wishing Lisa a quick recovery and back to her manager position. We miss her and we are thankful for her. On the recent November 11 veterans day, this restaurant offered us a discount for my husband, a Vietnam vet. To our total amazement, two young girls came to our table to thank him for his service and the server said they had paid for our meals, both of us! So thankful for these girls and their amazing parents that have taught them respect. read more

We live less than 2 miles from a Mark's location, so it's in our regular rotation of restaurants. We had it tonight, and it reminded me why it's one of our go to's. (We also had it for our rehearsal dinner.) The food is consistently good and the service is always great whether we dine-in or pickup carry out. It also very reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

WONDERFUL customer service. They gave us each a piece of pie to celebrate our first time visiting. Another bonus--kid's eat free on Tuesday! We will definitely go back! read more

Great BBQ. We ordered takeout and it was really good. Next time I'd like to eat at the restaurant where the food will be hotter versus a 15 minute drive to where we were staying. read more

Ordered take out fore Memorial day and the BBQ item decent but the Honey Wings were some of the smallest wings I have ever had. I thought they accidently gave us boneless they were so small. All you could taste was the breading. I was lucky to have some red hot sauce in order to give some flavor. Really really disappointed. Chris read more

Great BBQ place! We came here a few weeks ago to pickup some potato salad to-go and we knew we had to come back because the restaurant smelled like delicious barbecue. I had the pulled pork with hot BBQ sauce, spicy fries with ranch, red potato salad, and toast. The pulled pork was flavorful and the ranch for the fries was delicious. My fiancée also had their mac n cheese and WOW was it good. A great BBQ option for lunch! read more

Mark's Feed Store - Pulled pork and spicy BBQ sauce, spicy fries and ranch, red potato salad, and toast - Barbeque Near Me - Louisville, Kentucky

Great spot for BBQ. The food is delicious. Don't let the name fool you, great service and peaceful dining experience inside

Our 20+ year family favorite. Mark's has the best barbecue around (and the VERY BEST green beans) in a friendly atmosphere you can feel comfortable in if you're leaving an office or coming off the farm. Their staff is the kindest, and their prices have stayed fair. It's our first choice place to take visitors for a warm, KY experience. read more

I'd give them 3.5 stars. I go here every few months, when I think "I love BBQ - why don't I go to Mark's more often?" And every time I'm reminded that I find it underwhelming. Not bad such that I'll never go back. But not good enough to make this one of my go-to spots. Caveat: I try to do low carb, so maybe I just miss the best items. I generally get brisket or pulled pork without sauce, and green beans and perhaps a sweet potato. I don't love the taste or texture of any of it (the green beans in particular are not my taste - they're marinated in some reddish sauce), nor do serving sizes particularly impress me for the price. On the plus side, the curbside pickup is really convenient. read more

Good food, great service, and very good value. My kids and I don't eat a whole lot of meat so we really liked that we could both get "veggie" plates. The kids and my husband loved the mac and cheese, the baked beans were very good, and my husband got the pulled pork, which was decent. Really like the bbq sauce. I'd prob pass on the corn and potato salad next time--not bad, but worth trying something else. Very kid-friendly place being casual enough for little ones with hit or miss manners and the little pig crayon holders were a nice kid-friendly touch. We were surprised how inexpensive the meal was, and kids eat free on Tuesday. Oh, and you can get a free piece of buttermilk pie for Yelp check in, which was also tasty. read more
