"Absolutely, utterly, wholly amazing. I got The Meat Daddy (a sampler of 4-bone rib, jalapeño cheddar sausage link, 4 oz brisket, 4 oz pulled pork, 4 oz turkey, 2 sides, and a fountain drink) and a Pie Shake to top it off. Everything was simply delicious. MEATS: The turkey and pulled pork were my favorites. So tender, so savory, so moist, neither could have been better (plus, both were lean meats if you need a lighter selection). For my first time trying brisket, I enjoyed it, too; it was perfectly cooked as well, and I cannot wait to try it piled on one of their sandwiches. The ribs were smoked tender but in a firm sort of way (in my opinion, the ideal balance). The sausage link, with melted cheese oozing out, had a great amount of jalapeño spiciness and taste; enough to get a kick but not overpowering, and by far the best jalapeño cheddar sausage I've had. SIDES: A special for the day, the turkey-bacon-ranch pasta was creamy and refreshing and ranked my favorite. The baked beans admittedly lacked a substantial flavor but the texture was spot-on. SAUCES: I do not know what sauces I had (I asked for a variety, so next time I'll be sure to ask which is which). Each has its own distinct flavor, so try them all! DESSERT: A slice of pie or a shake is a must. Better yet, get the best of both worlds with an inimitable Pie Shake. The Mississippi Mud Pie Shake is amazing; it's a dense, fudgy chocolate filling (similar to a moist brownie) with what tasted like a graham cracker crust. They put an entire slice of pie in the shake! When I was getting takeout, the entire experience (from ordering to pick up to eating and savoring) was perfect. The lady on the phone was a complete joy to talk to, and she gave her full honest opinion when recommending what I should get. They are family-operated by the friendliest, most welcoming and helpful people. The Union location recently reopened for dine-in, but regardless of if you takeout or dine-in, you'll be supporting a local family during such unpredictable times."

WOW! What an excellent dinner my wife and I had, I finally decided to get half the rib and OMG were the best ribs I had since the old Walt's Hitching Post, my new favorite! The PBLT Pimento Bacon Salad and Tomatoes of the Woman were also excellent. The various courts with which the boss Tony can come are a treat every time we come. We look forward to our next visit.

Sugarfire is an outstanding restaurant. The staff was incredibly helpful in recommending delicious options, like The Big Muddy and the loaded baked potato salad as a fantastic side. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu. I was also advised to check their Facebook and Instagram pages for daily specials, such as burnt ends. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a great BBQ experience in Northern Kentucky.

We've visited this restaurant three times since it opened, and we've had a pretty good experience each time. We make sure to go when the daily special features goetta! The goetta sandwiches have all been tasty, and we really enjoyed the Big Muddy as well. My husband ordered the brisket once, and although there were a few bits of fat in the sandwich, it didn’t ruin the meal for him. The staff is friendly and consistently tidying up.

If it’s your first visit, I highly recommend the "meat daddy" platter, which includes a sample of all the meats: ribs, brisket, pulled pork, smoked turkey, sausage, plus two sides and a drink. It's an excellent deal at $23.99. You won't leave hungry! They also offer a wide range of special BBQ sauces, milkshakes, pies, smoked chocolate chip cookies, and the amazing pie shake—yes, it’s as good as it sounds. Whether you choose to dine in, take out, or have it delivered, you won’t be disappointed! View menu

Brisket is AMAZING. We were really satisfied with the quality and taste of food, especially meat. Brisket was our favorite. I love how they cut the bride here. While waiting in order, the meat carver offered is an end of the brisket that he cuts to the sample. The Mac cheese, pommes and BBQ sauces were all right. They do not serve the sauces warm on the counter. You have your own soft drinks that are fun. The pickles they offer on their spice counter are the good way. Staff were friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. I love that they offer both indoor and outdoor seats. We will definitely enjoy again!

What is not to love in this place? Delicious meat, all sides and a surprising variety of desserts and shakes. I don't know if I've ever seen a more creative menu. Chef Joe is clearly passionate about what he does and is a super nice guy. I strongly recommend seeing pictures of his wild concoctions for daily specials on the Facebook page. It kills me that I don't live any closer so I can catch things like Beef Stroganoff Burger, Wrappers Delight and Ball Buster. While there was the place busy with lots of food and to go orders (including Uber Eats). Sugarfire is just the place that will end up on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and it's just a matter of time before this place is so busy that it...

Just enjoyed a pulled pork sandwhich and jalapeno slaw at Surefire. The pulled pork was probably the best I 've had. Great flavor! But, this was my first BBQ since the covid-19 shut down so maybe that had something to do with how great it tasted, but I don 't think so, it was just real good. I tried 2 bbq sauces, Texas Hot and Honey Badger. They were both good but the Honey Badger was a little ketchupy and although good in flavor the Texas Hot was not very spicey. But the meat was so good I didn 't really use much sauce anyway. The jalapeno slaw has fresh jalapenos in it with a vinegar dressing. It was fairly light so there was a lot of cabbage flavor and not so much dressing flavor. I washe... View menu
