Stopped here on the road home for some BBQ. Got in about an hour before close, but everything looked okay and all cleaned up. We were greeted and invited to sit wherever. Sat down and noticed the carpet was very dirty (not sure why youd have carpet in a restaurant?). The temperature inside was also extremely cold, and Im from the north and enjoy the cold. Waitress came and took our drink order and brought back drinks. Took our food order and came back very quickly with the food. Wife & son ordered pulled pork plate with 2 sides, I got pulled pork sandwich with a side, daughter got a grilled cheese. After the waitress brought our food, we never saw her again, no refills, no check back, nothing. Wife and son both noted that their pulled pork was lukewarm, like it was pulled out of a fridge and thrown in a microwave. The 2 hashbrown casserole sides were also lukewarm. My sandwich was semi warm, but only because the bun was grilled. Daughters grilled cheese was literally 2 slices of bread with a slice of processed cheese in the middle (yeah, I know, its still a grilled cheese), but it was more like the bread was just toasted and cheese melted in a microwave. Wife and son didnt finish, wife was disgusted to the point of being sick (said the temperature of the meat was like it was cooked then left out all day). Son said the same, but ate a bit more. And the bill was almost $40. Not what I would expect from a place that has 4.5 stars overall. I would give it half a star if I could. It needs a lot of work.

BBQ? More like BB Ew. Outside of the waitress conning me out of the meal I initially wanted (claimed I could drop one item and get another for the same price, which it wasnt), the food is terrible. I was told the cole slaw was sweet, and it tasted all too bitter. It was salad with a light dressing, and didnt taste like any cole slaw I had before. The beans were warm and overdone, like something youd throw out of the can and onto the stove. And the BBQ... Im a meat lover down to the core. BBQ is an art. They graded an F. While the meat has some smoked smell to it, there was no taste. Their pulled pork wasnt pulled. There was no seasoning or sauce. Nothing with the pork. The bbq sauce they claim to make it also not where it should be. There are no labels as to what is normal/mild/etc. The mild, which I had no idea was mild, was packed harshly with vinegar, pepper, and cayenne peepers to the point that the consistency was a pure liquid. There was no hold, and I fear some soups might be thicker than this. For the total price of around 20$ for two people, I would have chosen to go anywhere else.

Came in 15 minutes before closing time and wasnt expecting to get the freshest food. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Took our orders of 2 half slab plates and 1/2 lb of pulled pork to go. Ribs were fall off the bone delicious, and the pulled pork was absolutely as tender as could be. I ordered a full bottle of the Hot BBQ sauce to bring back to AZ where I had travelled from, but didnt receive any sides of the sauce that I ordered. I can only assume that is because they figured I would use the full bottle. Ended up having to open the bottle and use it which I was not planning on doing until I got home.

The first review by Carol is spot on: Backwoods is worth stopping for. I ordered a half-slab, and the meat just fell off the bone. Backwoods has some of the best barbecue Ive found, and I travel the whole country. Also, they dont skimp on the ice cream servings. Take exit 4 off I-24 and go west on U.S. 60. Its about a half-mile on the left, in front of the Lowes. Oh, and be sure to try their hash brown casserole when you choose a side dish.

This place looks to be a favorite of the locals, and I understand why. Full of character and charm, this restaurant delivers good aromas. The chicken was tasty, the beans were one-of-a-kind and the sauces were clearly home made and flavorful. This is definitely worth stopping off the interstate.

Backwoods BBQ catered my daughters wedding this past weekend and did an awesome job. The food was delicious and the service superb, led by Matthew, who even lent me a butane lighter when mine ran out of fuel while lighting the wedding candles. Thanks, guys!

My wife and I Both loved the food here. The pulled pork is great and so is the sauce. The location was somewhat nondescript, so if I hadnt been looking for it, I might have missed it. The service was good and the value was great.

Our table ordered pulled pork, ribs, and chicken - everything was outstanding!! I live in Colorado and heading back to KY at the end of this month.....cant wait for some more Backwoods Q!!!!

The ribs are to die for! The meat literally falls off the bone, no sauce needs to be added they are flavorful and perfect. The prices cant be beat either, two can dine for well under $20

I absolutely love this place. I use to live in Mayfield, KY but since moved. I cant find BBQ close to Backwoods BBQ. I cant wait until I can pass through again to buy more.

Must-do family, mom and pop BBQ among a sea of chains along this exit street off I24 ... very good and simple, quick. Highly recommend.

Bbq chicken is always tasty here. The baked beans and potatoe salad are good too. The bbq sandwich is good. All of it is good.
