I'm not normally a big bbq person so when everyone we knew recommended stopping here when we went to Owensboro I wasn't sold. But I'm so glad we listened because it was well worth the stop. Delicious food!

Food was just OK, not very many options for main course. The salad bar and dessert bar were very good.

The burgoo was nasty. The chicken dinner was not worth what we paid. I won't go there again

Identified as a go to bbq place in Owensboro.
Staff was friendly and food was delivered quickly. BBQ pork and mutton tasted the same and was more of a puree. Chicken was very good and juicy.

This was absolutely the worst barbecue I have ever eaten. It may have been the worst restaurant food I have ever had. I don't know how they have won awards for their food or how anyone could think it was good. I got a quarter chicken dark meat. It was drenched in sauce. Others talked about a sauce choice, we weren't given one. The chicken was luke warm at best, horribly dry, yet mushy at the same time. I got coleslaw which was watery and tasteless. The potato salad was interesting, but not in a good way. I had to stop eating because of the gag reflex. My son had a combo plate. Mutton, chopped pork and brisket. He asked if the onion rings were made fresh or frozen. They are pre-made frozen (Sysco???) He opted for beans and macaroni and cheese. The pork looked like and tasted like baby food. The macaroni was mushy and the cheese sauce was obviously a dry mix of cheese like stuff and runny, also luke warm. He describe the beans as something out of a can that tasted like someone had added sugar and ketchup. The mutton was dry and stringy. All in all, absolutely awful!!! Run away.

My family would always get the pork and mutton to go and we went inside to eat the other day and I had the brisket and pork ribs. Amazing! Sides were good too! And great fast service. Love old hickory!
