Dorky's BBQ

Dorky's BBQ Bangin' barbecue and mythic memes since 2013! We serve Appalachian barbecue: a mix of all the best regional styles through a lens from the hills of Kentucky.

Dorky's story begins in Ashland, Kentucky in 2013, when a couple of passionate hillbilly culinary artists and their three sons set out on a simple mission: provide family and friends with authentic barbecue at blazing speeds. Originally founded as Dorky Porky BBQ, the establishment was a part-time tent setup for about seven years. In the confusing year of 2020, Dorky Porky BBQ became a full-time b

rick-and-mortar in the wonderful Village of South Point, Ohio. The community accepted us with open arms and continue to treat us with more love than we could ask for, and we're thankful for our Ohio family. Personal matters led to a closure of the store and a transition back to mobile setups in the form of the Dorkmobile that some may remember. The career responsibilities of individuals within the family caused a gradual decline in mobile setups. The passion came roaring back though. At some point, the entity known as Dorky decided to get back in the ring and continue spreading peace, love, and barbecue to all the Dorky family that gave so much support over the years. Please be patient with us as we transition back into making this a full-time passion project. We love what we do, and we want to spread the love as much as possible, so we hope you'll join us in our journey! Stop in for a bite and let us know what you think.

🥳🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the owner of the month, Mrs. Dorky!

Not only does she make some pretty wicked cobblers, but she's also the one who named the whole dang thang. Yep. When Dorky said he wanted to start barbecuing back in 2013, she told him he was a dork, and it kinda stuck around like a thumbtack, ye hear?

⬇️ Everyone give Mrs. Dorky a happy birthday down in the comments and let her know which of her desserts is your favorite! ⬇️

Love you, Mom. 🙂

BBQ Boy got arrested... the officers said he was smoking illegal contraband. He was.

Without authorization from his pops, BBQ Boy borrowed the company card and imported kangaroo meat from down under. Said he had had a spiritual calling after Greg from Perth called him mate the other day.

Good news: we bailed him out. He’ll be back in about an hour!

What a weekend! We want to say: thank you to all the birds in Boyd County for coming out to the festival! Rock the Poultry was a massive cluckin' success.

We couldn't manage to get ahold of anyone noteworthy, but we found a guy that goes by Chicken Chili Ray. He even sang his song!

Thanks again, Boyd County. Cluck on!

If this thought keeps you up at night, you are not alone.

We are closed Saturday and Sunday, but we'll probably be Dorkposting all weekend anyway.

Have a lovely one!
