After hearing about this BBQ restaurant from the owner himself, I decided to make the thirty minute trek from Bowling Green to Franklin to check it out, as I am an avid believer that Bowling Green has no good BBQ whatsoever. I will put it this way, I now have no qualms about driving to Franklin to get my BBQ fix. Everything I tasted was on point. I ordered the pit combo with brisket, pulled pork, and grilled shoulder with coleslaw and baked beans as my sides. The pulled pork and brisket were both juicy and perfectly smoked and the shoulder was seasoned nicely and grilled with the appropriate amount of char. The baked beans were not your typical lazy, straight from the can beans that are common among many BBQ joints; they are full of flavor and accompanied the meats very well. The slaw was creamy and crisp and created a great balance with the meal. The only thing I struggled with was what type of sauce to use (even though I could have scarfed the whole plate without any). This restaurant's passion for top quality BBQ shines through with every bite and the small town atmosphere creates a warm and welcome feeling that makes lunch feel like you're in Mayberry. The staff were all friendly as well! Needless to say, I will be making multiple trips back and will start hoping for a second location to open in Bowling Green!
This place is fantastic. Worth the drive off the interstate for those traveling I-65 along the Ky-TN border. Beef brisket is phenomenal and the white beans too! Friendly folks own and operate this place. It's a gem!
Some of the best BBQ in the State, I love the options and ability to change the bread on the sand which is always a nice touch. Also for the food you get at the price it’s hard to beat.
The best BBQ I've had in Ky to date. The brisket is moist and just the right amount of smoke. Pulled pork is moist and good smoke. There sauces are good my fav is the XXX straight up. You have to ask for it when ordering it is good mixed with the Carolina sauce they have. The staff is friendly the owner is a great guy that will answer any question you may have about smoking meat. GREAT BBQ WILL GO BACK AGAIN
Delicious! Best BBQ I've had to date. A variety of delicious sauces to choose from, friendly staff, simple menu, and the best pulled pork there is. Order anything that's got it. If you're in the area, try this place out!
Little Place, Huge Taste!. Stopped on a recommendation from our hotel clerk and from the reviews. Definitely not a disappointment. We got the pit combination which included pulled pork, brisket and sliced pork shoulder. The shoulder was a wee bit dry but was still tasty. The homemade sauces offered ranged from mild to very hot and were a great compliment to the well prepared meat which was not overly smokey. It was just enough smoke. We were disappointed that they had sold out of barbecued ribs a little earlier, but that proves to me that their food is prepared fresh, daily and does not lay around getting yucky. With paper plates and plastic dinnerware, it's certainly not fancy but who cares when the food is great and reasonably priced? We will stop back on our next trip down through that area.

This indeed is the real thing
I've lived in the south for 7 years and this is the best barbecue chicken I have ever tasted
Hole in the wall with great food! BBQ and sides all homemade and delicious.
Try the brisket!
I travel several states (Texas to Ohio) for work and always try the local non chain restaurants. Wildfire BBQ is probably on my top 3 BBQ joints. I got the combo platter and was glad I did. The brisket was tender with a nice dark bark on the edge and the pork was soooo juicy. The rich hickory flavor could be tasted in every bite. The sauce is kind of a hybrid among Texas, Carolina, and KC: slightly sweet with a smoky tang. The sauce is offered in 3 levels of heat so whatever you prefer you can get it. I'll be back and will be bringing my cooler to take more home. Enjoy!!!! Oh Jeff who is the owner is more than happy to throw in some helpful tips when you are ready to try your hand at smoking your own meat.
EXCELLENT BARBECUE. Wildfire proves that you can't judge a book by its cover...or...barbecue by the venue. Wildfire may look humble, but inside lies a host of delicious BBQ. I recently returned from Corky's BBQ and Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous, both in Memphis, but none compared to my Pit Combo (which, amazingly, was only $7--bargain priced). The meat was tender, juicy, and flavorful, all on its own, though well-complimented by a wide variety of original sauces. Definitely two thumbs up, and if I had a third.... Service was impeccable. The thin-cut pork shoulder was good, but it was a bit dry. It was the only thing on my fully-loaded plate that I didn't absolutely love. Recommended to anyone who loves great BBQ for equally great prices. Seriously, go here.
The Best BBQ in All of KY!. Wildfire is the real deal. This is the best place to eat BBQ in all of KY. Seriously this place rocks!
You have to try the beef, it's mouth watering, tender and very tasty. The ribs are fall off the bone good, too.
Don't forget to try the sweet sauce, it's made there on the spot and it's awesome!
Great place to eat....once you go there, you'll always go back, it's that good!
Stopped here because Dunns BBQ was closed and nothing else sounded good. We were not evenly a little disappointed. The brisket was tender, juicy with great smoke flavor. The pulled pork was equally as delicious. Great sides to choose from...fried corn, seasoned fries, baked beans, none of which are bad choices. The owner was very welcoming and friendly. Our only disappointment was that this place is nowhere near home. If it was we would be regulars! Loved it!!!
Stopped in this BBQ spot after visiting the Dueling Grounds Distillery. Located a stones throw from it and was a great find! Jeff came out to check on us and make sure our meal was good and it we told him it was delicious!! All staff was helpful and meal came out quickly. Brisket was super tender and shoulder was juicy. Hogg fries were seasoned perfectly. Oh and the sauces were delicious too! Overall this was a great meal and I recommend checking them out.
This is a hidden gem, well-known to locals but not so much to visitors. The food is very good and the rub is great!! Try the pork shoulder and brisket. They are top shelf!! The owner is very friendly and helpful. Give this place a try if you are in the Franklin, KY area!!
The real deal! And Jeff the owner came out to walk us Northerner’s 😆 through the menu. The house made sauce was EPIC! Thank you Jeff for the warm welcome, the full belly’s, the big smile and sauce to-go!
This place is amazing! The food is delicious. I’ve had their chicken, smoked sausage, and brisket. You can’t go wrong with any of these. I’m still working on my way through the menu. Jeff and his staff are always welcoming and appreciative of your business. Walking into the restaurant makes you feel like your walking into someone’s home and you are treated like their guest.
Pulled pork nachos are phenomenal, brisket melts in your mouth, hog fries(don't be afraid they are potatoes) excellent, okra was crispy and delicious, macaroni cheesy and delicious and the potato salad more like a German potato salad mustard and dill pickle deliciousness! Will definitely be back soon OH and we took some to go!!!
Fantastic great BBQ. Lots of great sauces to choose from. Friendly staff, owner came and talked for a few minutes to see how I liked it and make sure all was good. Clean place. Good prices.
Food was excellent, the crew was really polite and helped us to make the best choice.
Got the Family Pack Pulled Pork with the Wildfire Sauce, mac and cheese, cole slaw, bake bean, and turnip greens... Best BBQ i have ever had turnip are great and love the bake beans.
