Unfortunately we're sold out of pulled pork and brisket. We understand supply and demand and shipping complications so some things were out of their control. Chicken was juicy and tender. Had a great meal with our large group.

It was a SHAKEDOWN!
It was 4pm and I was hungry, I was in Barbourville and I had sandwich on my mind. I was greeted with a sign inside that said out of ribs, corn nuggets and onion rings. I was glad I had sandwich on the mind. The Bertha was recommended but I opted for the SHAKDOWN and fries. It’s a Philly steak, with at least an 1” thick cut of brisket

Great BBQ food, the appetizers are basically a meal & can feed one person. Pulled pork nachos and the pulled BBQ sandwich are my go-to dishes. Just don't go late at night, they only serve certain appetizers and sides are limited.

We were passing through on a Friday night and decided to skip the fast food on the highway. When we arrived it wasn't crowded and it was very quiet and somber. That seemed odd for a place celebrating BBQ and Jerry Garcia. The food arrived and was delicious. The prices were affordable. Midway through our meal they turned on some music

the salads are really good! the mozzarella and corn nuggets are great too. 👍 The only problem was that they were out of onion rings, green beans, and breaded pickles the day I went, however this obviously wasn't the restaurant's fault, but rather the delivery company's. so still, 5 stars. the rest of my family loved their food too!

Grateful Ed's is a fantastic place to come and spend some time. The food is very good as the owner has won awards for his BarBQ in the past. The portions are generous and the service is great. Lots of options for the entire family. Located in downtown Barbourville on the square with lots of nearby shops.
