One website claims that this western Kentucky restaurant is home to the best all-you-can-eat buffet in the entire state. Can you guess which one it is?

I know that buffets sometimes get a bad rep from people, but I love them. Let's be honest, when you go to a restaurant, sometimes one plate just isn't enough. Buffets allow you to eat as much as you want. Growing up here, my parents always went out to eat at various buffets like Golden Corral, Siroloin Stockade, Ryan's, Old Country Buffet, and Ponderosa Steakhouse. Something about "all-you-can-eat" just makes me happy, because it reminds me of my childhood. As you know, there are all kinds of buffets in Kentucky, from traditional buffets to Amish buffets, and of course, Chinese buffets.

Over the years, it seems like major buffets have kind of died out, aside from Chinese buffets. There is an abundance of those all throughout Kentucky. However, one website recently named the best all-you-can-eat buffet in each state, and the restaurant they chose from Kentucky is one that I have been to a few times. Trust me when I tell you that I couldn't agree more with their decision.

This is the Best All-You-Can-Eat Buffet in Kentucky

If you want to find the best buffet in the state of Kentucky, according to LoveFood, then you are going to want to make a trip to Owensboro. This western Kentucky city is the home of some of the best BBQ around, and BBQ is what this buffet is all about. The best buffet in Kentucky is none other than Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn!

There isn't a single item on that buffet that isn't delicious. Might I add, that Moonlite has some of the best Burgoo that I have ever had, too. Here's what LoveFood said about Moonlite BBQ:

A longstanding favorite in Owensboro, the self-proclaimed barbecue capital of the world, the Moonlite Bar-B-Que Inn has been running for more than half a century. It's consistently held up as one of the best barbecue joints in the state, with its barbecued mutton being a favorite among diners. A lunchtime and evening buffet runs Monday through Saturday (a brunch buffet is offered on Sunday), with hickory-smoked meats from pork to beef on offer every day. There are also shrimp and catfish fiddlers available on select evenings.

Now, I am craving some BBQ! Have you ever been to Moonlite BBQ? Would you agree that it is the best buffet in Kentucky?

How to Make Moonlite Black Dip

To make Moonlite black dip, mix all the ingredients below in a large pot and bring to a rolling boil. Skim the surface, if necessary. Cook the mixture over medium heat for 20 minutes then let it cool. It can be used as a baste or as a dip. It makes about three quarts.
