Wagon Bones BBQ — Restaurant in Versailles

A long overdue review. I'll start with the bullet points: Locally owned, made fresh, small batch BBQ. Smokers out front, indoor and outdoor seating. Beautifully done W-KY style, hickory smoked BBQ. They're not serving you leftovers, so that means the full menu probably won't last till close. Get there early or call ahead.

Now let me rave: I grew up around Owensboro and BBQ is among my short list of loves in life. Searching for that taste of home in each city I've lived in had been hard. But when I tried this place, I thought I had been called to heaven. The pulled pork, slaw, and baked beans are perfect. Could drink the sauce by the bottle, perfectly sweet and tangy. Ribs, chicken, and brisket are all superb as well.

I've spent hundreds here over the years. Family gatherings, reunions, birthday parties, holidays and any day that ends in Y are all made better with Wagon Bones' BBQ and fixings by the pound or by the plate. Really thankful for these folks sharing their craft and being part of...

This lady could not have been more rude, and racist.

Perhaps because he looks like a police officer 🤷🏼‍♀️ Especially after he had a conversation with her co-worker a gentleman regarding the historic building. She continued to use sass him him for absolutely no reason. (See the last photo for the “reason”). All we wanted to document a neat old building with some pretty good bbq pork. But I can no longer recommend anyone to go to this establishment. We have never been treated so rudely in the state of Kentucky. That is absolutely not a way to...

Either this place is wildly inconsistent or a lot of people don't know what good BBQ is supposed to taste like. First off they're rarely open during their posted hours. I drive past it several times a day, 5 days a week, and trust me, those 11-7 Tuesday-Saturday posted hours aren't accurate at all. The food isn't great when they are open. They're often out of menu items, the buns are the cheapest buns you can get and the BBQ sauce tastes store bought. The meat doesn't have much flavor so you have to drown it with sauce if you don't like bland meat. The cole slaw is terrible and I can't speak on the potato salad because in several visits they're always out. If it's just inconsistent I can't keep rolling the dice going for an good day. I'll...
