I live in Owensboro and if I want great burgoo and ribs I always go to Old South. I have had bbq from all the main bbq restaurants and theirs is the best in both categories. I also take a turkey to them for Thanksgiving and for Christmas for them to smoke for me and I have never been disappointed. Although they do not have the capacity of Moonlite or the choices on the buffet I enjoy their ambience a whole lot more. Friendly personal service instead of feeling like I am on a conveyor belt.

Under new owners, Jason and Mitzi Shuler, the restaurant is becoming a major player in the bbq business of Owensboro. Moonlite and Old Hickory may have the name, but Ole South has the food that is just as good or better than the others.
