Dorky's BBQ Reviews

Every single day we are blessed to see new and returning faces alike. We love making people happy and it’s always a pleasure to see new folks come in and leave good reviews. We appreciate every single one of them. “Come see why Dorky Dan is the local BBQ GOAT!” - Wayne Gretzky - BBQ Boy 101 Jane Hil

Real ones eat at Dorky’s. Realer ones post rave reviews. 😤 Thanks to everyone who goes out of their way to post a review! Every one of them compounds into a bigger purpose than you know. Don’t make me tap the sign. #DorkysBBQ #AshlandKY

So so so blessed y’all. But let’s take this moment to go ahead and apologize to anyone we may have let down in the past couple of days. Many folks found us from April Eats after her rave review, and the dinner crowds have hit us hard the past two nights! We’re more thankful than you know. The Pitmas

Shoutout to Barbara Bonneville Quincy for this beautiful review! We appreciate you, king. This is the guy with the socks, by the way. That’s how you know his passion is legit. Thanks Mike! Always a pleasure to see you and your crew roll in. #DorkysBBQ #DorkLife
