My favorite go to bar, if you visit once your return visit you will feel very special because your name will be remembered. The Baxter’s have done an amazing job keeping this establishment open, affordable and judgment free. They have touch tunes where you can play whatever you chose without someone being offended and your song getting skipped. Mrs. Dottie Baxter never forgets a customer and will hug every one when she comes in. You will always feel like family here. I know I always have. Oh and let’s not forget they have the best BBQ and Geotta in the tristate area!

From catering to pick up options, this place does an excellent job. The goetta is some of the best in the city and priced right, also a take home tub of bbq is great to have ready in the freezer.

Miss Dottie is the best! If you're looking for a nice, chill little place to spend your evening with friends, this is it! Prices are well below anywhere else you would go, so it's not hard on the pocketbook. If you're looking for food, have her make you a burger! Come in and hang out for a bit... you just might make a few friends! Support this awesome small business, you won't be disappointed!

We hosted a pig roast to celebrate our daughter’s marriage August 7th. Having never had catering in NKY, we chose JB’s because of their responsiveness compared to other companies I called. They were very helpful and easy to work with. They made sure to have the pic on-site prior to the start of the party, for people to see it. The appetizers and food were all delicious! I am definitely going to be recommending JB’s and will use them again, when the need arises!

Mrs. Dotty is a little hidden gem that everyone needs to know about. What an amazing woman, had one of the best night just hanging out with her. In from Los Angeles and stop in on a whim. I will definitely come back just to spend time with her. Please stop in an support this woman.
