When Only the Best Will Do...Moonlite Bar-B-Q
Voted Best Barbecue In Kentucky by Kentucky Monthly and Kentucky Living Readers.
Barbecue, barbeque, Bar-B-Q, Bar-B-Que, Bar-B-Cue, BBQ, or just Q, however you spell it, barbecue brings to mind the image of tender roasted meat, and the smell of real wood smoke hanging in the air. Despite regional differences, barbecue is a truly unique cultural tradition, and Moonlite's Products represents the best of Kentucky. 

A Kentucky Tradition since 1963, we cook in the old fashioned Kentucky tradition. We place meats personally selected for quality in our custom built hickory fired pits and cook them slow and long, giving them that distinctive hickory flavor. When you visit Moonlite, you can smell the difference even before you taste the southern style food that has made us legendary (read more).
