Starnes Barbecue Reviews
My husband is from Paducah. So 16 years ago he introduced this great diner to me. And I instantly fell in love. Sandwiches are to this day reasonably prices. They have amazing ham by the pound for sale too. To take with you. which is the best flaky ham ive ever eaten. Now, that bottle of Starnes sauce. Is FIRE. (the hot) If you like spicy this sauce is for you. We keep stocked up with it now that we've moved away to Missouri. Great atmosphere, great service, best BBQ sandwiches...read full review
Great bbq!! Nice place. Highly recommend.
I’ve had the culinary joy of living in close proximity to Starnes BBQ since I was 8 yrs old, I’m now 58. Not once in countless visits in those 50 yrs, and counting, have I been disappointed in their BBQ or the kind service.

The atmosphere is nostalgic, and many visitors say it’s a must-stop, worth visiting even if the outside isn’t very appealing.
