Spoon River Smokehouse opening in Abingdon

Main Street in Abingdon is about to welcome the newest eatery to town: Spoon River Smokehouse BBQ. It will be located at 209 North Main Street in Abingdon in what was once the Church of Christ. Owner Paul Parrick says they’ve been working on the new place since October of last year. “Being able to walk in somewhere and actually look at it and see what it could be,” Parrick said. “These guys have supported me, and knew I wanted to get something going. I wanted to put something here – it’s my hometown. Hopefully it’s something positive for the area. Hopefully it’ll kind of spur other businesses to come here and put their shop in Abingdon.” Parrick says he’s been doing BBQ as a hobby for about six years, and with the support of his parents and family, he’s wanted to open his own place for about a year. The smokehouse will feature a menu that includes pulled pork, brisket, BBQ meatballs and weekly specials. As of now, Parrick plans to cater to the dinner crowd with winter hours from 4:00pm to 8:00pm with a smaller wait-staff of 2-3 people. Summer hours will see extended hours to 9:00 to 10:00pm. Spoon River Smokehouse is set to open Saturday, February 10th.
