Here in Kentucky, we’re no strangers to mouthwatering barbecue. In fact, if you’re looking to dine as the locals do, it’s a safe bet to head to the nearest mom-and-pop restaurant or barbecue joint. These are the kinds of places where the hospitality is always warm, the atmosphere is laid-back, and the food is simply irresistible. If this is the kind of place you’re searching for, then look no further than FDKY Kentucky. This beloved local barbecue joint is famous for its brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. In fact, it might just serve up the best barbecue in Louisville, KY (and that’s a tall order!)

Welcome to FDKY! The mission here is twofold: first, to honor the brave firefighters and heroes who dedicate their lives to ensuring the safety of others, and second, to serve some of the finest barbecue in the land.

The menu features everything you'd expect from a quality barbecue restaurant. If it's your first visit, we'd highly recommend the classic pulled pork sandwich. The combination of the slow-smoked pork plus the restaurant's signature Fire & Ice pickles will impress you from the first bite!
