BBQ & MORE
The cultural culinary hub of western Kentucky, there is no shortage of restaurants in Owensboro. From traditional southern cuisine to high-end seafood, to local diners that sell some of the best burgers and fried chicken you can find, we’ve got it all, and then some. But what Owensboro has really become famous for is the barbecue. In fact, Owensboro proudly boasts the title, “BBQ Capital of the World,” and once you’ve tried, you’ll see why that title sticks.
Moonlite Bar-B-Q is an Owensboro staple where even former U.S. presidents have feasted on its unique flavors. While you’ve probably had barbecue a time or two in your life, there’s a couple of unique dishes Moonlite became known for, and one of those is chopped mutton. We recommend trying it with a side of sliced onions and some of Moonlite’s mouth-watering sides. Old Hickory Bar-B-Que is another legend in Owensboro, with a team dedicated to providing the finest quality barbecue you can find. Exclusively using hickory wood to cook its meat, Old Hickory’s barbecue embodies a unique, distinctive flavor that’s become recognized all over the country. You 10
