Dorky's BBQ

Dorky's BBQ Founded in 2013, we're a family-owned eatery serving Appalachian barbecue: a mix of all the best regional styles through a lens from the hills of Kentucky.

Follow us for updates from Dorkville USA! 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 brick-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.

We pull baddies every day, if you know what I mean. With a drill attachment, of course!

I'm not saying that Tetris is the greatest game of all time. I'm simply saying it's on the Mount Rushmore of games I hyperfixated on in years past.
