Find out what Barbecue restaurants to try in Bowling Green. Known primarily as the only place in the U.S. that manufactures Corvettes and for the large ancient cavern that sits in the center of the city, Bowling Green has built a thriving tourist business on cars and caves. At the General Motors Corvette Assembly Plant, visitors can see the step-by-step production of America's favorite sports car. The Corvette Museum includes one-of-a-kind prototypes, that were designed but never manufactured, among other Corvette memorabilia. To view awesome creations made by nature head to the Lost River Valley and Cave. Take the underground boat tour, on the shortest deep river in the world, to see a land formation that is more than 10,000 years old and has been used as shelter by Native Americans and Civil War soldiers. Though Bowling Green never officially left the Union, it's home to a number of historic war landmarks, exquisite old homes and remarkable buildings that can be visited on foot or by car during a leisurely drive through this beautiful part of the country.

Traveling and touring the area, we found Smokey Pig BBQ through a google search for casual dining with great reviews. What a great find - casual dining at it's best! Excellent food, great prices and a casual country atmosphere we both enjoy. If in the area again, we'll be stopping for another visit. Hint: the vinegar slaw is oooh so good.

Holy Crap this place is AWESOME! Literally everything our party of 4 ordered was fabulous. Food came out a little slow, but was SO WORTH THE WAIT. Manage your time expectations, be prepared for a nice leisurely meal. The avocado with smoked chicken salad was excellent, but if they are offering the beef brisket--don't pass it up. Best brisket I have ever had.

BBQ is so darn subjective. I wont say one is better than another. As I understand, this is southern BBQ. I'm learning. It definitely did not taste like Texas. Definitely not New Mexico. I had the ribs. Well cooked and almost falling off the bone. Amazing. Good. Side of Mac and Cheese and bake beans. Simply an excellent dining experience. Staff was good, but did not seem to be focused on being there - it is a very, very minor pick - but stay off cell phones when at the counter. Not judging - just don't be too obvious; otherwise very helpful.
