Pick-A-Rib barbecue restaurant circa 1968?

When we lived in Clarksville, Tennessee before and after my father went to Vietnam from Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, we had family meals at a place called Pick-A-Rib. Does anyone know if it's still there or does anyone remember it? Thanks!

    1. We used to eat there when my dad was stationed at Ft. Campbell in the sixties. We spent a total of 9 years at Ft. Campbell so we ate at the restaurant many times. We carried the memories of the Pick-A-Rib BBQ throughout our worldy travels. I am pretty sure the place still exists.

          I know it was still there as recently as about 2 years ago. That's the last time I was there.

          • Pic-a-rib is still in business. I have not eaten there but since you have such fond memories of it. I'll have to give it a try!!

                It's been a long, long time since I ate there.

                • I grew up in Hopkinsville, Ky but my mother worked in Clarksville and that was her very favorite restaurant. The BBQ was great but I think she went for the pecan pie!

                      Can't blame her for that!

                      • My wife and I ate there last week. The ribs are still tops!
