Corbin, Kentucky is known for a few things, and delicious local food is definitely one of them.
If you're from the area, you are lucky to have many tasty ways to support local, small businesses. But Corbin is also great for visitors to the area who may find themselves heading to one of many nearby attractions, such as Cumberland Falls. And when you do visit, you simply must stop by for a meal at Smokey Bear's BBQ and Catering.
This family-friendly, local BBQ joint has been in business since 2010. The owner followed his passion and left behind a career in law enforcement.
You'll see remnants of that career in the logo and on the restaurant's menu, and after one bite of the food, you'll be grateful he followed his dream. Smokey Bear's has been a favorite eatery in the area for years now, and it's ideal for both locals and those visiting Corbin.

As welcoming as the atmosphere is, the food is the true highlight.
For your first visit, try the Jailbreaker — the over-the-top BBQ sandwich shown above. And although you get your choice of sides, we highly recommend you go with some of the best tater tots in Kentucky.
We all loved them as kids and if you haven't had them in a while, we guarantee you'll still be a fan. And the crispy creations at Smokey Bear's are some of the best.
And they happen to pair perfectly with anything on the menu, like these jumbo smoked wings.
You'll find a variety of barbecue on the menu, from wings to brisket to pulled pork. The sauce is also a stand out here, so much so that they often ship it all over the country to hungry fans.
If you want to go with a more classic meal, their burgers are also out of this world.
And you're free to order your burger with fries or sweet potato fries, as long as you go with the "Pig Tators" as an appetizer. Pulled pork, bacon, pepper jack cheese, homemade BBQ sauce, and ranch are all piled atop those crunchy tots (or fries, if you prefer).
You for sure will not leave hungry after enjoying a meal at Smokey Bear's BBQ in Corbin.
And you will also rediscover your love for the simple, yet scrumptious tater tot, which may just be the most underrated, and most delicious, way to eat a potato.
