My waitress was super nice and extremely skilled at her job. I had the ribeye with a loaded baked potato and house salad/ranch dressing. I left thoroughly impressed. I ordered the ribeye medium and it was absolutely perfect. The seasoning was much better than Texas Roadhouse. The baked potato was the best I have had in years, nice and soft and perfectly topped. The salad was fresh and not overloaded. The overall experience felt very relaxed. Even though it was seven minutes until closing when I finished eating, my waitress enthusiastically asked if I wanted desert. This is a quality restaurant worth every penny. I will be back.

O'Bryan's looks like an old general store but a brand new 2022 sports bar with TVs on every wall. You must be 21 to enter. I tried O'Bryan's because of burger week in Owensboro and I believe they were winners of 2021. Sadly not of 2022 but they would have received my vote. Their burger entry was the Maker's Melt. This burger was on buttered Texas toast with pepper jack cheese, bacon, and fried onion strings. What I loved most though was the bourbon flavored BBQ sauce that really sent this burger over the top. My fries were the perfect accompaniment to my burger and my sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! I want to come back and catch some games and explore more of the menu.

Disappointing Experience After Years of Loyalty…read more My husband and I have been regular customers for years and have visited this restaurant several times a month. We have always enjoyed the steaks, seafood, and especially the salad bar. Unfortunately, our last visit was enough for us to decide we won't be returning. For quite some time, the quality of the lettuce on the salad bar has been declining. I'm not talking about a few rusty edges--I'm talking about brown, transparent, wilted lettuce that should never be served to paying customers. Over the last 10 visits, I'd estimate 8 of them had lettuce in unacceptable condition. I've always picked around it and kept quiet. This time, after paying premium prices once again, I politely mentioned that the lettuce was not fresh. I was told multiple times that they were "working on it." Thirty-five minutes later, my husband had finished his entire meal while I was still waiting for fresh lettuce. The salad was my meal. When the lettuce was finally replaced, there was very little fresh lettuce put out. To make matters worse, while I was serving myself, old brown lettuce was dumped onto the area where I was getting my salad, including on my tongs. Whether intentional or not, it felt dismissive and unprofessional. What disappointed me most wasn't just the lettuce--it was the lack of urgency and concern. The waitress could clearly see that I had no meal while I waited, yet the situation dragged on for over half an hour. When you're charging roughly $25 for a salad bar and over $70 for dinner for two, customers should not have to beg for fresh lettuce or wait 35 minutes for a basic ingredient to be replaced. We genuinely loved this restaurant and gave it chance after chance because we wanted to support a local business. Sadly, this experience was the final straw. We won't be back. Fresh food and attentive service shouldn't be too much to expect at these prices.

The space itself was quite large with ample seating and a lot of decoration throughout the walls, including photos of people (presumably some of Deloris...have yet to gain any confirmation on this), America pride, and oh right, ads. A whole bunch of ads and marketing plugs from other fellow Owensboro businesses! How great is that! These places are holding onto each other helping one another out, that's America right there! I believe I got one of their breakfast spread that included some scrambled eggs, sausage links, biscuit, grits, and coffee. Pretty filling meal for like $5 or something. Crazy, right? None of them city folk prices or nothing! I know I'll never be here again, but because I have a good memory of my short time at this cafe and its warm personality, I can't help but give it 4 stars. You go, Deloris, wherever you are...

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.
