Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint expands to its new location in Louisville, Kentucky, with plans to open its doors on Tuesday, August 21. The store, located at 984 Barret Ave., is the much anticipated second location of the nationally recognized barbecue restaurant, founded by acclaimed pitmaster and restaurateur Pat Martin.
“We feel blessed to have this opportunity to grow and are looking forward to getting to know our new friends and neighbors,” says Martin. “I’m excited to partner with several buddies who were born and bred in Louisville to spread the tradition of whole hog barbeque.”
The 6,000-square-foot restaurant will provide seating for more than 160 guests, with ample street parking, spots in the main lot and in an additional lot on Brent Street.
EMBRACING THE COMMUNITY
In addition to its barbecue, Martin’s is serious about supporting local community. The restaurant is committed to building ties with neighbors and plans to be heavily involved in the Germantown area, working with local schools, youth sports and various community projects. Martin’s is honored to be the new tenant of Lynn’s Paradise Café and will pay homage to the Louisville icon by keeping part of the original signage and showcasing photos and memorabilia, allowing guests to reminisce about the location’s past.
“I’ve been in love with the Highlands and Germantown neighborhoods for years, so we understand that Lynn’s was a big part of the community,” says Martin. “It left big shoes to fill but Lynn has been helpful with the transition. While I’m not sure if we’ll ever be able to fill them completely, we’re sure going to try! We plan to start with using our advertising budget to instead support local youth, schools, churches, cops and fire departments.”
MADE FROM SCRATCH, EVERY DAY
Martin’s is proud to be a scratch-made business with no freezers or microwaves in the building. Everything on the menu is made fresh daily, and meats, including ribs, chicken and beef brisket, are prepared with the intention of running out every night. At Martin’s, fresh hogs go on the brick pits each day for the next. The cooking process alone takes 24 hours, resulting in barbecue that is just as fresh as it is delicious. Menu highlights include the Whole Hog Barbecue Sandwich topped with slaw – the way God intended; the Sliced Brisket Tray, featuring juicy brisket; and Smoked Wings tossed in Martin’s house-made Alabama White Sauce.
Entrees are served with Southern-style sides like Broccoli Salad and Mac & Cheese. Most sides are made fresh from Martin’s family recipes, just like the dessert offerings, including favorites like Coconut Cake and Pecan and Fudge Pies.
