Proud Mary BBQ

Perched on the banks of the Kentucky River at exit 99 off I-75, Proud Mary BBQ is part roadhouse and part outdoor event venue, entirely committed to low-and-slow ribs, pulled pork, and brisket cooked for hours over real smoke. Live music, river views, spicy beans, tangy slaw, and fried okra make it one of the most atmospheric BBQ experiences in central Kentucky. A 4.4-star rating from nearly 1,700 reviewers captures the crowd's verdict.
