There are many types of foods that you can make at home that mimic your favorite dishes from local restaurants. However, it is very difficult to recreate the smokey flavor of true, authentic barbecue. Unless you happen to have a smoker in your backyard (we'll be right over if you do), you're likely missing the pulled pork, ribs, and brisket from your favorite BBQ joint. Thankfully, you can find BBQ takeout in Kentucky and you'll want to add Martin's BBQ Joint in Louisville to your list. You can order carryout throughout the week, but you can also order a mouthwatering BBQ feast to celebrate Mother's Day in Kentucky.

Martin's BBQ Joint may have started in Nashville, but it's definitely made an impression on diners in Louisville.

As a small, regional eatery, each location has local flair and downright delicious food. It's made fresh daily and they aim to run out so that you can be sure you're only getting the freshest fare.

Louisville has two locations - one in Germantown shown above and another on the east side of the city, pictured below.

During quarantine, Martin's has continued to cook up their popular barbecue and sides and serve them up via carryout services.

That means you can skip cooking a meal and pick up mouthwatering BBQ instead.

Martin's has it all, from pork shoulder, to smoked turkey, ribs, and brisket. And it's all freshly prepared for when those cravings hit.

Both locations in Louisville are offering curbside takeout, as well as delivery if you're close enough.

This menu shows you the mouthwatering options they have available, and it's enough for one person or even a large family meal.

If you haven't had the opportunity to try Martin's BBQ Joint yet, why not treat yourself now?

You can also treat mom to a BBQ feast for Mother's Day with a special family meal that feeds 4-6 people. It includes Sweet Tea-Brined Smoked Pork Loin, Mashed Potatoes (1 qt.), Pea Salad (1 qt.), Corn Pudding (1 qt.), Mac & Cheese (1 qt.), Dinner Rolls (6) and even a gallon of tea or lemonade. These are available first come, first served, so order soon if you're interested! Ordering information can be found below.

The Mother's Day meal also comes with a fudge pie, and it doesn't get much sweeter than that.

Or if you're not looking for takeout on Mother's Day, don't forget about BBQ and pecan pie another night during the week.

And of course once we're able to dine at our favorite restaurants again, be sure to add Martin's to your list of places to visit.

BBQ takeout in Kentucky is a silver lining right now, and it may just be the delicious highlight of your week.
