Kentucky Folks
Come see us.
Thatcher Barbecue Company
Locally Owned
Thatcher Barbecue Company is a local, family-owned and operated restaurant. Hailing from Eastern Kentucky, Shawn and Crystal bring uncompromising flavor straight from the smoker to the table.
It’s said the best food is hidden in small towns. Well how about in the middle of Red River Gorge backed up to the woods? Don’t take our word for it, take a short drive through the beautiful countryside and come see us.
6 Out of 5 Stars
Thatcher’s BBQ Company is a toothless man’s best friend. Ordered a half rack of ribs, the meat literally fell off the bone and melted in my mouth…
Look No Further
The best BBQ around! Delicious, mouthwatering brisket, ribs and pulled chicken!
