Our Story
Ole Hickory Pit Bar-B-Que isn't trying to be anything other than what it is — a Louisville smokehouse that takes its time. Our pit is lit early, our rubs are mixed in-house, and every cut is treated like it's coming out for company.
Located right here on Shepherdsville Road, we've been feeding this neighborhood with the same commitment to flavor and consistency that defined Southern barbecue from the start. No gimmicks. No microwave shortcuts. Just smoke, time, and ingredients that earn their place on your plate.
True hickory fire, not liquid seasoning. The kind of smoke that takes hours and patience.
We treat every guest like they're walking into our own dining room — welcome, fed, and satisfied.
Built for this city, built for this neighborhood. We're not going anywhere.
