Owensboro Restaurants

Located on the southern banks of the Ohio River, Owensboro is the medical, cultural, and retail hub of western Kentucky. The town is known to have some of the best barbecue in the country and hosts the International Bar-B-Q Festival every year. So for some authentic down-home eats, this is the place to be. Try the famous mutton, pork or prime rib with some potato salad, greens, or homemade cornbread. You can find healthier options at a cafe that offers soups, salads, and other vegetarian and vegan dishes. Don’t forget to try the delicious Southern-style desserts as there’s plenty of banana pudding and blackberry cobbler to go around.
