Absolutely, positively the best BBQ Restaurant in Southeastern Kentucky! Hold up, make that the entire Commonwealth and quite possibly an ever larger area! The food is consistently mouthwatering!

This place is amazing! And while I try to stay away from pork (and the served me pork when I ordered chicken) the waitress did a great job and next time I'm around, I'll be eating here!

We love Ed’s. We eat here just about every weekend!

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.

I consider myself a bbq nut. And I tell you, this place is among the best I've been to. By far the best bbq in the area. Ed is a bbq genius.

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 ... read more

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 ... read more

The food is delicious, however I placed a to go that took 45 minutes to make, when I got home and opened box, my sandwich was missing a piece of bread and my fries were also not there.

I was truly grateful for the BBQ! Walked in and Austin took great care of us. The trio dinner plate had a bit of everything, all of it was to die for!

Ed is family, so I may be biased, but I was impressed with the operation. Great brisket, pulled pork and hamburgers on the picturesque courthouse square. First visit to Barbourville in 25 years. Daniel Boone would have approved!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our takeout from Grateful Ed's while passing through the area.
