Bluegrass Meats Fails the Accountability Test—And Basic Resilience

As a business that values operational integrity, we feel compelled to hold others to the same standard. Today, February 11, 2025, Bluegrass Meats demonstrated a staggering lack of commitment to its customers—and to basic professionalism. Let’s dissect the absurdity.

A mere 0.4 inches of snow fell between 4:00 AM and 7:00 AM, which, by noon, had dissolved into slush under 37°F rain. Roads were clear, businesses citywide were operational, and life carried on. Yet at 3:30 PM—six and a half hours after the snowfall ceased—Bluegrass Meats remained shuttered, citing “weather” as its excuse.

Weather? Let’s clarify: this was not a blizzard, nor an ice storm, nor a natural disaster.

For a BBQ shop—a business that sells non-perishable goods—to use this as justification for closure during peak operating hours is laughably inept.

Bankruptcy isn’t a prophecy—it’s the outcome of...

Holy frickin BBQ! I drive a taxi, therefore getting in and out for lunch is essential. I'm not much of a slaw person, but man the slaw on them chicken tacos wow. It's a great value for the product you're getting. I have yet to have anything of theirs that I don't like. The service is amazing, they are always friendly, and have a smile on their face. And you can smell that delicious smoke as soon as they open the window to hand you your meal. By far my favorite barbecue...
