Talley's Bbq

Most good local BBQ places have a faithful local following. It is also easy to see why people will travel for miles and miles to sample what Red State BBQ offers. My eyes quickly spotted the double smoked brisket on the menu, and I couldn't resist. Adding the baked beans - which were fantastic - and the mac and cheese completed my lunch. One of the most extensive menus I have seen at a BBQ place.

Decided to call on a pick up order on the way back to Lexington from Louisville. Ordered a full rack of ribs, and smoked buffalo wings with Mac n cheese/beans for rhe sides. Everything was excellent. Very friendly staff, told them I was 45 minutes away and made sure came everything came out hot. Got me craving some summer days. I'll certainly be back!

Red State BBQ just outside Lexington, KY. I rarely trust a brisket outside of Texas but I took a chance today. I'm glad I did. No smoke ring, but we all know smoke rings aren't always the best flavor indicator. These were some extremely tender slices. And, when paired with the Apple Bourbon sauce, oh my! Red State is a small stop in the road, maybe 15 tables available inside. Lots of out of state tags in the parking lot. Counter service with no frills paper and plastic plasticware. A great setting for an excellent meal. A multiple time Best of Kentucky winner, I highly recommend enjoying a meal at Red State BBQ during your trip along the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
