BIG HOPP’S SOUTHERN EATERY | Louisville, Kentucky | Restaurant Review

When people talk about the top Soul Food in Louisville, BIG HOPP’S has to be included in that conversation. The food is fantastic and the staff makes you feel like you’re at Grandma’s house. Family owned. Support local!!

[@carolg7966]

Loved your singing at the end, and your back up singers too. Hoping that you would come thru with a Lionel song sometime!! Fun video and fabulous food!

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Thank you!

[@dennynutt]

Keep em coming the dream team Ryan and Goodall. Ryan - "nothing to add just ready to eat" 🤣 my man! And the singing 👍

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

Oh, I will!

[@thelightone1976]

I love how you eat and give us the good real deal review. If I was reviewing food I would be just like this. No cute and fancy eating 😅

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

That’s the only way I know how to do it. Lol!!

[@Old_Timer66]

Wow buddy I'd go just for the song but the pork chops, rib tips and all of the sides makes us want to travel for a meal!

After the bus run over incident have you been back to work yet? Compared to a lot of your friends now you still do look like you could be at work and working out in the gym with all the guys. You look really pretty trim. And as a bonus it looks like your right arm is working real good getting the food up to your mouth or holding up big plates or big burritos. Hahaha

[@goodallscountrykitchen]

My shoulder is very limited. I am not back to work and am retiring at the end of the month. Thank goodness I can still lift a plate though. You might notice in my videos my right shoulder is permanently disfigured as it sticks about five inches up further than my good shoulder. It is held together by somebody’s Achilles tendons. I’ll never be able to lift weights or do push-ups for the rest of my life.
