The first thing I did was check their website for prices says the family packs 20$ and ribs are 9.99 a pound. Once I decided what I wanted I had there to pick it up for dinner for my family tonight when I got there the prices were different. It was now 2999 for the fam 4 pack and 1499 a lb for ribs. I said fine. When I went to Pay, the girl said let’s wait and see how much they weigh. I thought that was funny but I waited figuring to be somewhere around 40 to 45 bucks when the lady came out she said the ribs weighed almost 3 pounds so my bill was gonna be $76, my meal was 30 bucks. That means it is $50 and ribs. It says it was 1495. She said a pound I said really. I said there’s a rack of ribs in here and they were 50 bucks. She said yep they weighed 3 pounds. I said it’s kind of ridiculous who comes to pay $50 for a rack of ribs. Where can you buy a rack of ribs for 50 bucks thats pretty expensive I definitely didn’t want $55 in ribs. At this point, she started looking past me as if I didn’t exist anymore. I just need to grab my bag and go at the moment. I felt done pretty wrong, but I would head and paid. Maybe I’ve made a mistake and I should eat this when I get home. I told my wife about it and we get out the food scale and I set the container on the food scale. It says it’s not even 2 pounds of meat. Pretty much totally lied. There wasn’t any buns in there so all I had was a half a pound of two kinds of meat a $55 rack of ribs with no bread no barbecue sauce or anything to put on the ribs. It was dry as hell. I called up there to talk to a manager and on a Friday and the busiest day of the week. There was no manager to get a hold of the blonde girl in the front of the store. Could care less about anything you say, she doesn’t even look in the eye when you’re talking to her. I took pictures of everything to share to everybody. I’m never gonna go back here again. They’re bad people. They got people there that don’t care about anything and obviously that was a substantial lie saying that my food was 3 pounds when it was less than two, I want my money back. You ruined my dinner. Edit. Been a week. No call back from missing managers. Like I said. They could care less. Thinking about small claims. It’s only 35. More...

We waited for 20 minutes to eat as we were told it was great. Food looked awesome but after we got sat down and got drinks ordered we went to the buffet to only find dirty plates, 3 stacks of plates there and couldn't find a clean one. We went back to table and waitress wasn't around we left and went to the pizza place next door and left our vehicle there. When we came back to the vehicle the waitress met us at it and said why did you leave and was very confrontational about it. I told her why and she never said sorry about that or anything just well we wanted to know why you just walked out and left.....I couldn't believe she never said sorry or anything and acted like we were the one in the wrong for them having multiple dirty dishes with food still on them. At the time we was at buffet therr was 3 of us going through the plates and all was dirty. So BEWARE of the dirty plates and if that's how you treat a customer then I obviously now won't go back. Take accountability for your dirty restaurant. Everyone can have a off day but not a clean plate or an apology after you...

Do people just come here because the physical restaurant says “OLE SOUTH”? (odd) is anyone paying attention? Here is my review……..

We got there almost closing time, the buffet was still out & as we were being seated a lady with really short yellow blonde hair dropped all the flatware on the floor and then picked it up and put it all in a grey plastic holder & as we were sitting there I seen the girl that worked the cash register start bundling up all the dirty flatware in napkins for the next day, after she did that she went over to the salad bar with a metal can of window cleaner and sprayed the salad bar top glass while we were still eating and the food was still in the bar, the salad side was already put up. The entire restaurant was filthy and the entrance smelled of a dirty mop. I told my husband why do you keep wanting to come to this filthy restaurant? Its my second time & the first time was the exact same & I Took my parents there from out of town & I was so embarrassed I apologized & that was a about 4yrs ago & nothing has...

I don’t know why I’m awake early in the morning other than the fact that everyone in Owensboro said I need to try Ole South Barbecue on a Sunday morning for their breakfast buffet! While I still need to come back for their breakfast barbecue, all the homies were wanting some good breakfast so we stopped through. I wish I was a bigger eater in the morning, cause I feel like I didn’t fully get my moneys worth, but you guys were definitely on point with this suggestion. Where should I go for breakfast next?! #olesouth #breakfast #buffet #owensboro #snackgod

Food was good bbbbuuuuuttttt. After sitting and observing the employee's probably shouldn't have ate here. After going to the restroom after eating, I definitely should not have ate here. Employee's dealing with food had no gloves, the ones who did might as well had no gloves on after the amount of things they touched including hair,picking nose,etc.then dealing with food. Looking at a restaurants bathroom tells a very big story about the rest of the restaurant. This bathroom was HORRIBLE, SERIOUSLY THE WORST BATHROOM I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. If they do not care how bad their bathrooms are when almost every customer enters them then I can only imagine how the back of the restaurant looks when no customers can see back there. Have no idea how this place got an A from the food sanitation inspection. The bathroom alone needs to be quarantined. The amount of boogers on the walls and back of the door is beyond me. This place charges enough for the buffet that they could afford and need professional cleaners to tackle that place.
