I am somewhat a cliche'. I grew up running around barefoot on a farm in Kentucky.
I love writing, art, sunshine, all animals and my incredibly patient husband, who tolerates my "crazy animal lady" side.
Sometimes when looking for a good meal, we miss the smaller spots in favor of someplace well known. In the case of barbecue, this is often a VERY big mistake. Often times, it is the tiny BBQ restaurant in Kentucky which serve up the most mouthwatering food. This is especially true when it comes to Momma’s Mustard, Pickles & BBQ, where the recipes have been passed down for generations and the service is friendly.
Here are 10 excellent reasons to visit this tiny BBQ restaurant in Kentucky:
These recipes were created and perfected by "Momma", than passed down to her children to continue the legacy of mouthwatering barbecue meals. This is not your average bbq joint. Instead, consider it more of a barbecue tradition.
This amazing little restaurant and the recipes therein came straight out of Kansas with Momma and the renowned Chef Paul Kirk. The owners studied barbecue to perfect their skills under the chef, who has won seven world barbecue championships. One of which is the American Royal Open in Kansas City.
The friendly staff that works at Momma’s is expected to uphold the family tradition of treating customers like part of the family. You will find smiles, courtesy and answers to any questions you may have when addressing anyone on the payroll.
The sauce origin is Ponca City, Oklahoma, where Momma grew up. To make it original, they have added their own special touch to bring the taste of Kansas City BBQ to Louisville. It is different than ANY other sauce you will experience in Kentucky.
You have a choice of pork or beef ribs, with beef being a little more expensive: a ½ rack of pork for $12, a whole rack for $24. The tender beef is half for $16 and $32 for a whole. You can order by the pound and get pulled pork, chicken or sausage for $15. The smoked turkey breast is $16 and the juicy brisket is $18.
The smoked wings at Momma’s have been deemed the Best in America via "The Top 100 BBQ Restaurants In America," and voted the Best in Kentucky by Twitter users. LEO Magazine deemed them the best in Louisville also. They are 10/$11. The sliders are mini sandwiches available in Momma’s homemade sausage without casing, pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket, or turkey. Can’t make up your mind? Get a sampler platter for $11 and try them all.
The regular sandwiches here are stuffed FULL of meats with flavorful sauce. You can have the standard pulled pork or chicken for $9, the brisket for $12, or smoked sausage or turkey for $10. They also have specialty sandwiches like the turkey club with bacon for $11, the grilled cheese with pulled chicken, pork or smoked sausage for $11, and the grilled cheese with briskit or turkey for $12. Patrons get two tasty sides with each sandwich.
The sides come in two sizes: small for $2 or large, (a quart) for $9. These flavorful favorites are just what you’d expect from a place called Momma’s. You can order creamy mac & cheese, seasoned green beans, unique slaw, delicious potato salad, mashed potatoes with or without gravy, French fries, baked beans and mouthwatering cheesy corn. You can also get a salad with pulled pork or chicken for $10.
You cannot go to Momma’s without trying the dessert. The bread pudding a la mode is to die for at $8. Flavorful bread pudding with aged vanilla extract leaves your mouth watering as you cut off your next bite. They also have two speciality desserts. The Pregnado is fried pickles, vanilla ice cream with a honey drizzle for $5. The next is the Mucho Macho Pregnado, which consists of mucho macho fried HOT pickles, vanilla ice cream and a honey drizzle, also $5.
Momma’s Mustard, Pickles & BBQ is a renowned tiny BBQ restaurant in Kentucky well worth a visit. They also have a food truck, so they might be closer than you think. When it comes to tasty and unique barbecue flavor, you will be hard pressed to find another like this. For those that enjoy traditional homemade goodness, these other tiny restaurants also serve up an excellent meal.
