Cicely LJune 24, 2017What can you say that hadn't already been said? A must for BBQ in west Kentucky. But the sides and desserts rank as high as the BBQ!! Try the peanut butter pie.
💕 🎼🎶RitaAnn~ 💕🎼🎶😊February 2, 2018Everything is clean, the staff friendly and the food is good. Friday Night=Seafood with Fried Oysters. Omg! I’m in heaven.
Ty HabeggerJuly 10, 2019The spiced apples were the best thing on the buffet. The corn muffins and macaroni were good also. This is a different type of BBQ from Texas, Kansas City, or anywhere else I’ve been.
Amanda Kennedy-MielkeAugust 2, 2014Excellent at getting a large group seated quickly! The buffet looked good but I wouldn't have eaten enough to do it justice. The ham was good just a bit salty for my tastes.
Paul WeidingerAugust 12, 2014The buffet has it all. Great service. Authentic family run place. Take Bill Clinton's advice and eat here!
Phil LedererApril 25, 2013Pretty good buffet with pork, brisquet , mutton and all the fixens. Go for the corn bread
Minnie LaiJune 17, 2011Buffet is a popular choice and seems to be worth the price. Turkey sandwich, however, is sliced turkey on two wheat breads. Really simple, but the BBQ sauce makes it great.
Lindsey MitchellJuly 24, 2010it's what grandma's cooking should taste like. Mmm mmm. Love all the veggies, and the cherry cobbler! no matter where u r it's worth the drive.
Zack AndersonMay 16, 2011Best BBQ in KY! Some say best in the US! Check it out for yourselves. Try the BBQ mutton.
Thomas HughesAugust 9, 2014Very over priced. It's a tourist trap. Don't get me wrong, it's a good generalization of Owensboro bar-b-que, but it's not worth the price by a long shot. Locals don't eat here. We eat at Old Hickory.
Justin WilliamsFebruary 7, 2010The buffet is what people go for. It's ridiculously crowded on Sunday's so try going on a Thursday for lunch. Same food, less people.
Raul BeltranDecember 30, 2011Resist the urge, BUT take a little bit of everything so you know what you like.
Jack KlemeyerOctober 16, 2011Haven't been here in neigh 20 yearn and I have to say I wasn't very impressed with the food today. Service was great though!!!
Rickie DupontMay 9, 2010The best macaroni and cheese is the best I have had! The whole bar is great!
Alexis MitchellNovember 5, 2011Not very good as everyone says it is..but the rolls and cheesecake is amazing.
Deanna DenkSeptember 23, 2010A bowl of burgoo with cornbread muffins is a satisfying alternative to the overabundant buffet.
Patrick BlumerAugust 1, 2011Moonlite used to be the best but they have become too big for their own good and now its so-so and way overpriced.
Daniel TeacheyJanuary 3, 2011Do not come between 2p.m. And 4 p.m. The all you can eat buffet is down during that time.. :(
