Jucy’s

I remember the food being good here but unfortunately my attempt to enjoy it again was thwarted by unaccommodating service and inaccurate information. We were turned away at the door at 8pm when the hours posted online showed it open till 9. The waitress stated that those were their summer hours. Note to business owner that you might benefit from making that clear online!

This is the best place in Ky for brisket! I live in a city that claims to have over the Moon BBQ but there is no comparison on the taste of the meat. The sides are not quite the best other than the pickles but it’s the smoky meat that’s the treat!

Picked up the family meal that feeds 4 – 5 definitely will do that and all would be full. Got sliced brisket that was really good. Good smoke flavor not a lot of rub taste but tender and juicy. Sides were good too. Really liked the potato salad, green beans. Mac and cheese very cheesy. If you like bland sides this isn’t the place for you. Seasoned very well. Service was friendly. Only nit pick is the extra $ 3 for sliced brisket as oppose to the chopped. Still glad I got the sliced. Will be back.

I want to like this place more than I should… In the last couple of years it’s really went downhill. The service is basically awful and so are the sides. The overall restaurant (specifically the tables) are usually filthy. With that said, the meat itself is really good! I’ve enjoyed Jucy’s for about 7 years but after the last several visits I think I’m gonna take a long break. Hope it improves down the road…

Really shocked by the poor reviews and glad I didn’t read them before going.
We had a great experience! My wife had the ribs, I had a sandwich platter, and my girls had a kids meal. Yes, the food is served cafeteria style but it was all fresh, full of flavor, and awesome! I am not a huge BBQ fan. I rarely crave it and usually prefer to eat something else. But this place made me change that a bit. I would easily come back!
We were greeted immediately and when we let them know we had never been there they explained everything in detail. Polite and quick which was great as our little ones were hungry.
We are for about $ 30, which isn’t bad at all for a family of 4.

After years of living in Louisville I finally tried this establishment. I’ve always heard it was one of the better bbq joints in town. I honestly don’t know what the big deal is about this place. From standing in line I had a very anxious feeling in regards to the sanitation. Employees touching different meat, throwing it around, never changing gloves. The food is just kept hot like in a cafeteria buffet. I had the pulled pork sandwich, green beans, and supposed potatoe salad. I felt like I was served subpar food and barely finished my food. They’re are better bbq joints in town worth the money.

went for the first time and decided to get the brisket chopped sandwich with sides of potato salad and cole slaw. The best brisket I have ever had, the bbq sauce was lip smakin good, potatoe salad and cole slaw can’t be beat. Also decided to top this off with their cherry cobbler which finished off the meal with an A rating… The portions were perfect! Can’ wait to return… alot better than Momma’s Mustard and Pickle BBQ, it doesn’t hold a candle to Jucy’s, a must try if you love good BBQ

I’ve had good barbeque, bad barbeque and many in-​between, Jucy’s is, by far, probably the best I’ve experienced in Kentucky. The meat is delicious and the sides always taste like something you would expect from a home cooked meal, and that’s not a bad thing! The girls at the counter are always friendly and put generous portions on the plate. Plus, this is also one of the few chain barbeques that doesn’t add the sauce before you get the food, just in case you like to eat your sandwich without it.

I really don’t like having to write bad reviews on Southern BBQ restaurants, especially in Louisville. They’re few and far between. I’ve eaten Jucy’s twice now and just can’t warrant a positive review. BOTH times I’ve had the opportunity to feast, the smell is way better than the taste. The meat is dry, overcooked, and isn’t all that flavorful. The restaurant offers sides in a cafeteria style serving line… which is terrible. It’s just slop inside hotel serving pans and heated and re-​heated. The potato salad is essentially a potato paste, the green beans are turned into a mushy mess from being reheated all day. Their prices are way too steep for what you’re getting. I will give them praise on their sweet tea. I was impressed and it was a 48-​ounce cup of sweet Southern summertime nostalgia. Head toward Crestwood on the highway, there’s a way better BBQ shack on the right side of the road I highly recommend.

Expensive for what you get! All you can eat ribs was big disappointment, and barbeque chicken was $ 10 a pound. Having all high-​school girls working is OK, but there needs to be an adult supervisor present…

the pork bbq was cooked well, soft but with a bit of chew left in it. bbq sauce was a bit sweet for me, but I’m from NC where pork bbq sauce is vinegar based. the brisket was tender, juicy and flavorful. it’d had as hint of smoke and didn’t need any sauce. the beans had good flavor and bits of meat. the macaroni and cheese was Velveeta based but better than many homemade I’ve had. all in all this was decent bbq, well worth the price.

I had a brisket sandwich with two sides ($ 9). The meat was good – juicy and flavorful. The bread was a stale, grocery store variety hamburger bun. Barbecue sauce is provided separately at the table. For my two sides I had mac and cheese and fried potatoes. The mac and cheese was passable, but the fried potatoes were terrible. They were inconsistently seasoned and inconsistently cooked. Some of it was spicy but most of it was bland, some was done but most of it was undercooked.

The pulled pork & chicken is excellent. My dad, a true Texan, would’ve loved the brisket. Actually, its the first good brisket I’ve eaten since moving here after growing up in Austin. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Since its a great meal to take home, I haven’t eaten in the restaurant. But, my boyfriend, Tom, enjoys grabbing a beer in this «friendly dive,»

I have to say I am not really sure why this place does not get more stars.
First off every time I have been there the owner is there and most times he is cutting the meat. THe brisket is a little drier than I like but in a restaurant setting like that it is impossible to keep it wet all the time unless you fly through the stuff but it always has a pronounced smoke flavour from the many piles of wood out front /​beside and behind this joint. Like a true Texas BBQ pace they have onions, pickles, and jalapeños to go with your meal.
On monday nights they have all you can eat ribs night and they are spare ribs (full spares) so you get a lot of meat and they don’t sauce the ribs they let you do that, again true BBQ joints do this.
I have only had certain sides, I like the potato salad and cole slaw, the green beans are really good and always make their way to my plate. The cobblers thats where things go out of sight, the cherry delight is quite fantastic.
I think you need to go when they are busy which is true of any BBQ restaurant that will give you the best experience possible.
the service here has always been very polite, I think the owner being on site helps that greatly.
The only reason I am not going 5 stars is portion to price, but BBQ is incredibly expensive to make so I get it and respect it.
Please remember to judge places on what they do and how they do it. I think the full package is important but good BBQ and some mediocre sides does not make this a 1 — 2 star place. Go for the meat and get the M&C somewhere else.

I thought about writing 2 reviews. One for the service and one for the food. The service could not have been better. The employees were all helpful, polite and knowledgeable about the menu offerings. The food was disappointing. There was no smoke flavor in any of the items we ordered. I ordered the «smoked» turkey sandwich (there is a 30 cent charge for a slice of cheese) with Swiss and the mac and cheese. Husband got the brisket and pulled pork with green and baked beans. The mac and cheese was pretty bland and gloppy. The two bean sides were the best of the bunch. The brisket was OK, but tasted like pot roast. A good smoked brisket should not taste like it’s spent a lot of time in water. I will continue my quest for authentic Texas BBQ in Louisville.

Does not take much to please me. I literally eat anything. I ordered ribs, Mac n Cheese and fried potatoes.
I was very disappointed. Any fast good is better than this place. Mac n cheese was completely cold, fried potatoes were severely spicy and not fried more like boiled. The ribs were what really got me. So tough I couldn’t even get the meat to separate. Of the 5 bones 2 were eatable.
My 2 year old would not even touch the Mac n cheese. His favorite food !
Just wait till you see the prices too ! I say go in and get what I got. Just so you know how bad food can be.

Had lunch here today. Rib plate included 2 ribs for $ 13.50 (drink included in that price). Be prepared to pay a lot for what you get. And what you get is just okay BBQ. Pretty flavorless meat, mediocre BBQ sauce, dry pulled pork pre-​sauced I believe to hide the dryness. Brisket was tender but taste like a roast, hardly any smoke flavor.

It would be freaking nice to know they are closed on Sundays when they have signs on the damn highway! 2 miles out of my way.

I’m a committed carnivore. I also understand that when it comes to opinions on BBQ, people will practically throw down to defend their favorite! I just happened upon Jucy’s because I’m a business traveler and was working at a local hospital for a few weeks. Holy smokes (pun not intended, but it works)! Their BBQ is delicious! I rarely order brisket but I have to say, Jucy’s brisket is fantastic, I love it chopped!
We drive to Ohio a few times a year and I still end up in Louisville on business from time to time. If I’m anywhere near Jucy’s, it’s a planned stop. If I’m in Louisville and not near Jucy’s, I spend a lot of time wishing I was.
Excellent BBQ! Way to go Jucy’s!

Jucy’s is a big disappointment to me. The BBQ is just so so. My biggest issue is with the sauce. A great BBQ place lets you add your own. This place serves it already applied and you have no choice. Also when you order take out, and you are paying by the pound and it includes the weight of the sauce. I’ve crossed them off my list as there are much better places to get great BBQ.
