POP'S LICKIN AND SMACKIN BBQ — Restaurant in Lexington

Hate to be the first negative review, but I just can't get past how expensive it was for what we got. I understand completely that bbq is expensive. I've eaten at many bbq joints in the state. Wanna point out first that the flavor of the brisket was excellent. Loved the sausage, too. So I ordered 1 lb of ribs... 1/2 lb of brisket and a sausage link. We got in our boxes 3 ribs, 2 slices of brisket, and a sausage link (around 7 inches). The total was $58. Just seemed very steep for the amount of food we got. The math wasn't mathing. We would have gone back, but we were on a deadline. Just wanted to pick up some good bbq on the road trip and just wish this...

Great local BBQ joint. Well worth the stop and super friendly service. Plus no line to wait in, at least when we were there. If you’re looking for a comparison to Snow’s (as it seems everyone does around here):

Pork Ribs - juicier and more tasty than Snows Brisket - absolutely delicious, moist, great bark; very slight nod to Snows Mac and Cheese - possibly the best I’ve ever had Potato Salad - solid choice, compares favorably just depends on what you’re looking for

The prices didn’t seem too crazy either. And they have a catering/large family order that I expect will take advantage of at some point too. Looking forward to trying...

Been meaning to write a great review about Pop’s for awhile now … I invited 25 close friends out to my place back in January and asked Pop’s to cater. I go there frequently & know how good his BBQ is. It was a crowd pleaser, fr the meats to the homemade sides all the way thru the banana pudding. Easy to order, delicious to eat! Would recm’d his catering service for your event! See you this...
