First, the parking lot is not easily accessible, but once you find your way in, there is ample parking ( dedicated veteran parking spots as well) . After you place your order at the counter, you are given a number, and they bring your meal to your table. The fountain drinks and tea are self-serve. The most difficult choice is deciding what sauces you want. There are like 10 different flavors, and if you require more than 1 or 2, they will charge you. The tenders we had were tasty, but they were small. Each tender was maybe 2 1/2 or 3 inches long. So, my advice is order more. There were many children in there happily dining on chicken and Mac n cheese. We opted for fries, which were very good. My only complaint was many tables needed to be cleared, and I didn't see any getting a thorough cleaning. Solid 4 star fast food.

But when I went they already switched it for a bone in ribeye...same price. Really? Sounds too good to be true. Comes huge spoonful of garlic butter on top (amazing). Grilled perfectly...I'd advise go for medium rare. You can always send back for a quick sear. Loaded baked potato and corn were great sides. To top it off... a. 8-9oz pour of Bonanza red for 10.99? Yes please! Only downer was carry station was in bar area so every time door was opened, you felt it, lol. But again, it was freezing outside. Bar service was excellent!! Definitely going back!!

Working in Owensboro this week and I heard about Dee's Diner, which has the best breakfast in town…read more I was craving pancakes so I decided to try Dee's for breakfast. The parking lot was absolutely packed at 9:30 on a Friday morning. I think I found the last possible place to park, parallel at the edge of the lot. I ordered a pancake, which was huge!! Also a couple of over-easy eggs. The pancakes was delicious! It was thin and a little crispy at the edges and had a very good flavor. It was served with a good size chunk of butter. My eggs were cooked to order. Service was very friendly and prompt. Considering that every table was full I was surprised at how fast the server brought out my food. When I paid for my meal the cashier mentioned that I had a "small" pancake but they also offered large pancakes. I thought mine was large enough! There is also a drive thru if you aren't able to dine in. All this and reasonable prices too.

Old Hickory BBQ in Owensboro, Kentucky, delivers exactly what its reputation promises--and then…read moresome. I'd heard more than once, from both my girlfriend and coworkers, that Owensboro is a barbecue town through and through, so when she pointed me toward Old Hickory, expectations were high. Walking in, I was immediately charmed. The space feels like a cozy old cottage infused with unmistakable local pride. Awards and accolades from magazines and even the Food Network line the walls, setting the stage for something special before you ever open the menu. One of the most endearing details, though, is how deeply rooted this place is in the community. The tabletops themselves double as a kind of hometown directory, showcasing local Owensboro businesses. It's a thoughtful, almost nostalgic touch that reinforces the sense that Old Hickory isn't just in Owensboro--it belongs to it. To fully experience what they do best, I ordered the combination platter, a barbecue lover's dream designed for indecision. My lineup included brisket, baby back ribs, and a quarter of white-meat BBQ chicken, with baked beans and mashed potatoes with gravy on the side. The platter arrived surprisingly fast, and the portion size was nothing short of impressive--this is serious, no-nonsense barbecue. The brisket was a standout: fork-tender with generous pieces of that deeply flavorful, smoky bark that true BBQ fans crave. The baby back ribs struck the perfect balance--tender but still offering a satisfying bite off the bone, never mushy or overdone. The chicken was juicy and well-seasoned, cooked just right overall, with only a couple slightly drier bites near the edge of the breast--hardly enough to detract from an otherwise excellent showing. The mashed potatoes and gravy were rich, comforting, and clearly made with care. The baked beans leaned more vinegary than I personally prefer, but they were still good enough that I cleaned the plate without hesitation--a testament to their overall quality. I couldn't help overhearing a nearby table raving about the mac and cheese, and honestly, that might be my biggest regret of the visit. An elderly woman at the table--easily in her 80s--declared, "This mac and cheese kicks ass!" I laughed, briefly considered ordering my own, then accepted defeat--I was already completely full. One small surprise was the classic slices of white and wheat bread served alongside the platter. When I asked about it, the waitress explained that many customers use it to build their own BBQ sandwiches. While I would've loved a square of cornbread instead, the tradition makes sense--and fits the no-frills authenticity of the place. I tried their original vinegar-based sauce, which was tangy, bright, and perfectly suited to the meats. I do wish I'd had the chance to sample their other sauces, but that just gives me an excuse to return. Could I nitpick and mention the limited napkins? Sure--but at a place this good, I ended up licking my fingers clean anyway. Old Hickory BBQ isn't just a meal; it's an Owensboro experience--hearty, genuine, and absolutely delicious.
