About 5K BBQ n SOUL

5K BBQ n SOUL is a small, locally owned BBQ spot in Cynthiana, Kentucky, serving up smoked meats and soul food–inspired sides to the Harrison County community. We're located right on Paris Pike (US Hwy 27 South), and we take pride in putting out food that's fresh, flavorful, and made with care every single day we're open.

Our approach is simple: quality ingredients, real smoke, and generous portions. We don't cut corners, and we don't rush the process. From our pulled pork to our loaded BBQ potatoes, everything is prepared with the kind of attention that turns first-time visitors into regulars.

We're also known for our house-made BBQ sauces. Whether you lean toward the tang of our Carolina Tangy, the sweetness of our Apple Honey, or the creamy kick of our Alabama White sauce, there's something here for every palate. Our mac and cheese and sweet potatoes round out a meal that'll have you planning your next visit before you've finished the first one.

We love what we do, and we love the people who walk through our door. Come hungry, leave happy — that's the 5K way.

From Our Customers

We tried the pulled pork with tangy bbq sauce and also got to sample the white sauce. Both were delicious. The Mac and cheese hit the spot as expected, and the sweet potatoes were also delicious. 10/10 ✨

Great food and such a pleasant experience. Such friendly staff. The BBQ sandwich was so good and the BBQ potatoes was huge and piled high with topping. Their Mac and cheese is also very good. Worth checking out.
