Story

History

Bob Allison, co-owner of Down Home Bar-B-Q has been in the food business since 1971. Back then he bought his first Burger Queen. In 1972, Pat Allison (Bob's wife) started working there and that's how they met. They have owned several Burger Queen and Dairy Queen restaurants over the years in Mount Washington, Fern Creek, Fairdale and other places.

In 2000 they tried to retire but that didn't last long. So in 2002, the first business they opened at this location was the Down Home Cafe. They had a large lunch menu including some BBQ items, a full steam table and plate lunches. Business was good but over time, their large menu was just too much to handle. They rented out the location to several different companies but none stayed open very long.

The Return

In November 2008, they opened Down Home Bar-B-Q with a more manageable all barbeque menu in addition to breakfast. The atmosphere in the Down Home is that of a country store. There are checkered tablecloths, small gift items, rocking chairs on the porch and a table set up where you can always enjoy a game of checkers.

Reviews
This little family owned restaurant has the best barbecue in town. Everything is freshly cooked each day by the owner himself. He smokes the ribs, the pork, the chicken, and the baked beans. He oversees all the other cooking, no one is turned loose to cook anything by themselves. He makes the slaw and the potato salad from scratch. Nothing is served directly from a can or bottle. The owners name is Bob Allison. He has his apron that calls him Mr. Bob, and he's proud of it. Stop by and see him. Wednesday through Saturday, from 7a.m. to 7p.m..
