What 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.

Everything is clean, the staff friendly and the food is good. Friday Night=Seafood with Fried Oysters. Omg! I’m in heaven.

The 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.

Excellent 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.

The buffet has it all. Great service. Authentic family run place. Take Bill Clinton's advice and eat here!

Buffet 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.

Amazing BBQ, but be sure to save room for the Buttermilk or Pecan pie!

The 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.
Thomas HughesAugust 9, 2014
Very 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.
Raul BeltranDecember 30, 2011
Resist the urge, BUT take a little bit of everything so you know what you like.

Haven'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!!!

The best macaroni and cheese is the best I have had! The whole bar is great!
Alexis MitchellNovember 5, 2011
Not very good as everyone says it is..but the rolls and cheesecake is amazing.
Deanna DenkSeptember 23, 2010
A bowl of burgoo with cornbread muffins is a satisfying alternative to the overabundant buffet.
Mindy DolackJune 27, 2014
Burgos, BBQ and banana pudding!!!
Justin WilliamsFebruary 7, 2010
Have the banana pudding. It's divine.
Christopher FerrisJuly 9, 2011
Put cheddar and hot sauce in your Burgoo soup.
Patrick BlumerAugust 1, 2011
Moonlite used to be the best but they have become too big for their own good and now its so-so and way overpriced.
MaryBeth KeslingerApril 30, 2011
Banana salad is amazing!
