Bougie Biscuits! Mmmm!
Boujie Biscuit | Owensboro KY
Such a gem! Perfect for brunch or a casual treat-yourself breakfast. Everything’s fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated (yes, even the pancakes are Instagram-ready). If there’s a wait—it’s worth it. Try the lemon blueberry pancakes or the crab cak...
Briarpatch Restaurant
Solid, go-to spot when you’re craving steak without the fuss. Great flavor, decent prices, and consistent every time. The parmesan-crusted chicken is underrated, and don’t skip the warm bread they bring out first. 🍞🔥
Total BBQ institution. Come hungry and definitely do the buffet if it's running. Mutton is the star here—yep, mutton—and their burgoo is classic Kentucky comfort food. Feels like stepping into a piece of BBQ history. 🍖🔥
Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn
A fun downtown spot—cozy, a little upscale, but not too fancy. Great lunch or dinner vibe. The chicken salad croissant is a sleeper hit, and the burgers don’t mess around. Nice place to chill with a cocktail or two. 🍔🥗🍸
City Walk of OBKY

The Miller House
Total comfort food win 🥞🔥 I’ve had breakfast here more than once and it always hits the spot. Big portions, friendly vibe, and the kind of meal that makes you wanna take a nap after (in the best way 😄).
Huddle House!
Been here and it did not disappoint. The food’s legit (try the burger 👀), and the beer? So good. It’s got that laid-back, hang-out-for-a-while feel — perfect for a chill evening with good people.
Goodwood Brewing and Spirits
This place is so good! so good. Fresh seafood, beautiful atmosphere, and the kind of place that makes you want to linger over dessert. It feels a little fancy but still totally welcoming — definitely one to dress up for and enjoy every bite.
Lure Seafood and Grille | Owensboro, KY
The sushi is super fresh, hibachi is fun (and filling 😅), and the vibe is just right for date night or a group hang. You leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.
Shogun Bistro Owensboro
This one’s a no-brainer — you already know it’s gonna hit. Rolls with cinnamon butter (don’t even get me started 🤤😮💨), juicy steaks, and the kind of comfort food that just feels right. Loud, fun, and always worth it.
Texas Roadhouse - Owensboro
Tried Fire Bowl in Owensboro yet? Super solid hibachi and sushi spot 🍣🔥 The bowls are fresh, the steak’s juicy, and you can even build your own combos. Def worth a stop. #sushinight #hibachilife
