Mary Ellen's

Food was SOOO good. They even had a southern red Kool aid that tasted like you just got it from the candy lady. Collard greens were very good. Cajun honey wings were the perfect mix of sweet and salty. Definitely recommend this place 👌🏼

Visitor from Owensboro, KY. I paid $15 with tax for buffet which included a drink. My food was delicious. Buffet included Ribs, catfish nuggets, pulled pork, roasted chicken, beans, coleslaw, and mac n cheese. I don’t know if they change the buffet to different items depending on the day. I enjoyed everything on the menu. Will definitely be back :) Thanks for a wonderful meal!

I wanted to love ME’s, but it was just an average BBQ place with high prices. IMO, the worst was the dry hard cornbread with crystallized sugar on top…the best was the pulled pork (but still needed sauce). My family’s from Texas, so I might be a little biased about good down home BBQ/cooking. I wouldn’t come back on my own, but probably would if someone else was paying. The owner was very friendly and made us feel welcome (hence the 4 stars instead of 3).

I have heard good things about Mary Ellen’s, was excited to try it , the pulled pork was very flavorful and moist , unfortunately it was so wet in a matter of minutes my bread my so soggy I couldn’t eat it , the cornbread I think may have been old it was very dry and almost rock hard , I ordered Mac and cheese which had barely any cheese and tasted like plain noodles . I think there is a potential with knowing how good the meat tasted but overall I was very disappointed

Good portions, layers of flavor, cooked to perfection. Hands down the best cornbread I've ever had, and they do something *magical* to those sweet potatoes. Beautiful people serving beautiful food. I'm telling everyone I see to go get a plate.

Went twice in 3 days. The wings are delicious, the short rib was like a dinosaur rib! (Very good). This is the only place I've had collared greens that I've enjoyed (and I've spent a lot of time in the south)

I can't recommend Mary Ellen's enough. I got the brisket dinner with two sides. The brisket sandwich had a generous amount of meat and was made to perfection. Coupled with sweet potatoes and baked beans. Both of which were incredible. I also grabbed burnt ends and ribs. Both made perfectly. The owner, Charles, was up front, super nice guy, and very friendly. I would just say they need a sampler menu item to try more!

Their barbecue buffet was great! There was a good spread of food to select from and they were staying on top of keeping it fresh. The staff were very kind and made sure that we felt comfortable.
