It was pretty good! I thought the brisket was a little on the dry side. We got the Family Platter. $125 We got 4 large sides with platter, then I believe my daughter ordered extra sides so we could try all of them. The pic is a little bit of all of it except the green beans. They were flavored well. I totally spaced out on taking a pic of the trays of meat and sides brought to our table. We got double brisket (2lbs) Smoked turkey (1 lb) Pork ribs (about 8-10 bones) There are burnt ends and beef ribs too, but can't choose for a platter meal. My daughter, her boyfriend, and granddaughter went a couple of weeks ago and raved about it. They got brisket, beef sausage and chicken then. They fought over leftovers! My daughter claims the brisket was definitely a little drier tonight. It was still good though. It's sort of a hole in the wall place. Seating is limited. It seems they have lots of carry out orders. There are 5-6 four-top tables inside and 4-5 picnic tables outside. We needed the picnic table to have room for all the platters. With 3-4 extra sides and tax it was about $145.

Fucking fantastic and worth the trip from anywhere. This place is small (they do have an outdoor area but it was 95 degrees the day I was there so I hid in the corner next to the air conditioning vent) and service is on the slow side. There was a line of about 7 people when I walked in and what looked to be only three people working. The line only got longer the longer I was in there. People were ordering GIANT amounts of food, like $100-$200 worth and so I cannot fault the kitchen for being behind. I ordered the kickin pork sandwich with fries (pulled pork, nacho cheese, jalapenos, bbq sauce on a bun) And shared the nachos with brisket with my friend. Everything was perfectly cooked, and everyone in line was eyeballing and commenting on the nachos - they were hella great so I can't say I'm surprised. Will definitely be back, thanks BDBBQ!

Good barbecue and can feed two. They do give you decent portions. We got the bug platter or something like that. You get a choice of 2 meats and 2 sides. Do check before you leave as they forgot to give us the second meat. Fortunately we live nearby so it wasn't a big problem. Also, although they are open until 8 pm the time before when I went at 6 pm they were out of 4 of their meats. Go early would be wise if possible.

What a great place!!! Had the brisket and ribs!!! Simply delicious The owner was great! He was so kind and passionate about his business!!

Incredible! Amazing! Delicious! I could go on for a long time, but - bottom line - do yourself a favor and RUN to Back Deck BBQ! Hands down, this is the THE best Q in the 'Ville. It has it ALL: mouth-watering smokey meats, park bench, comfortable ambiance, competition perfect presentation, welcoming staff and a self-taught Pitmaster who knows how to work a rig! You can taste the Love and the Pride Pitmaster Nelson blesses his Q with in every bite! His brisket rivals Texas' best brisket, and his pork ribs are the best bite-through ribs I have tasted in my 60 years on this planet. Come taste the Q of this Master of his craft - you will be happy that you did!

I heard good things about Back Deck so I wanted to give it a try. I really like the outdoor seating, it's a nice area and good location right across from Iroquois Park. The food was good. It was suggested that I get the wings and I'm glad I did! They are on the sweeter side as they are encrusted with brown sugar that gives it a nice crisp. The pulled pork was fine, but not my favorite. Macaroni was nice and cheesy and the baked beans had a nice flavor. Overall, a good meal and welcoming staff.

Run, don't walk to Back Deck BBQ to get some of the best, consistently high quality barbecue that this city has to offer. I first learned about Back Deck BBQ on a social media foodies group. I'm always eager to support a black owned business, so we went during the busy Derby weekend and were absolutely blown away. We've since visited several more times, taking multiple family members there, and each group loved it as well. The staff is super friendly and personable. The food is superb. Our favorites include the ribs, smoked sausage, and Mac and Cheese, though we've yet to try anything we didn't like. We always top it off with Lady J's lemonade (Blue Raspberry and Pink are our go-tos). We've never had an issue getting in and getting a seat, but seating is limited. There are several long picnic tables inside and some seating outside, so keep that in mind if you have a larger party.

This is tasty bbq. The Nelson's are super nice and friendly; they greeted us and helped us with our menu selections. We dined in so they brought our plates to our table and held down some conversation from the kitchen while we ate. Felt like eating at family's house. Smoke smells amazing. If you don't smell it from the street it's only because the wind is blowing it up away from the street. Get on them steps and you'll see what I mean. The burnt ends were served today, thankfully! They were tender, well seasoned and delicious. Mac n cheese was a definite highlight of the entire meal. Green beans & smoked sausage, I could've done without. Rib tips are very flavorful but a bit tough today. Brisket is very flavorful, but the fat could've been rendered a bit more, or trimmed before serving. While no sauce is needed, they serve with sauce on the meat (??). We asked for extra on the side. Drinks are only water, Pepsi products and tiny jugs of lemonade based drinks. Meal Prices used to include drinks, they're separate now. Overall the food is good. We'd come back on our next visit to Louisville. Would repeat the burnt ends and be Mac, while exploring some other meats and sides

At the suggestion of my closest friends to try bbq at a newer place just across from Iroqouis park. Walking from the parking lot a delicious aroma of smoked meats filled the air made me smile. I was surprised to see a quaint outdoor patio with many picnic tables as well as other upper level seating. On the patio you can watch the pit master working the largest smoker I've seen! Inside the same picnic theme continued. So many bbq choices meats of beef brisket,, chicken, pork and turkey. A la cart as well as Meals for two & family meal choice packages. For our dinner we chose the pulled chicken & pork plate with sides of smoked cheesiest Mac n cheese, baked beans with a touch of heat and a creamy potato salad. (Pics included) Meal Includes drinks for a very fair price. Staff was as friendly as family checking everyone was satisfied. Yes!!! We loved every tasty morsel. Portions were plentiful enough to ask for a go box. We can't wait to return to try a bbq specialty known as a smoked meat delicacy of burnt ends from brisket. Highly recommend for your next cravings for quality bbq. Notes Order from counter, food is brought to table home style. Relaxing casual atmosphere. Medium sized lot parking. Very clean facilities.
