Every town has that one place locals are proud to share.

In Owensboro, it's Old Hickory Bar-B-Q.

When family comes home or friends are visiting, we love hearing, "You've got to try Old Hickory!" From our slow-smoked mutton and pork to our famous burgoo, we've been serving authentic Owensboro barbecue and making memories for generations.

Thanks for making us part of your hometown tradition.

Why stand over a hot stove when we've already done the cooking? 🔥

Come cool off and enjoy fresh, slow-smoked barbecue without heating up your kitchen.

🔥 Tasting the Tri-State is back at Old Hickory BBQ! 🔥

Join General Manager Keith Cook as he shares a backyard favorite—smoked chicken wings made with our legendary Old Hickory Bourbonque Sauce! While wings aren't on our menu, we're showing you how to make them at home using the same bold, smoky flavor that has made Old Hickory BBQ a Kentucky tradition.

Go behind the scenes inside our smokehouse as Keith demonstrates the art of mopping Bourbonque Sauce onto the wings during the smoking process to lock in incredible flavor.

Did you know our famous mutton and Boston butts are slow-smoked for up to 20 hours? Every year, we cook more than 2,000 sheep, making Old Hickory BBQ one of the premier destinations for authentic Kentucky mutton barbecue. We also offer custom cooking for special events, family gatherings, and celebrations, so let us do the hard work while you enjoy the feast.

Take home the flavors of Old Hickory with our signature sauces! From our famous Bourbonque Sauce to John's Sweet Heat and other delicious favorites, there's a sauce to satisfy every barbecue lover.

For more than 100 years and six generations, Old Hickory BBQ has proudly served award-winning barbecue under the leadership of owner John Foreman, continuing a family tradition that began in 1918.
