Fried pickles are what dreams are made of. Ribs are what they are most famous for but if you want them you have to go early because they have run out several times. Pulled pork and brisket are absolute perfection. Super reasonably priced menu. Fun crowd. Waiters are all kind of granola but super cool and friendly. read less

Mac and cheese was awesome, too. I've been making the same homemade mac-n-cheese recipe for years at home and been very happy with it, until now--theirs was so much better than mine. Little known fact: you can get banana cream pudding as a side dish here. Yum! read less

Highly recommend. Quick service good food. Perfect lunch or date night. Wings are dope too. Couldn't have a nicer staff

I chose the chicken plate with green beans and tater salad, and all 3 sauces were delicious with the tender chicken. Also, the "thin" sauce made a tasty addition to my tater salad. For an appetizer my friend and I had the hot pimiento cheese and chips, which was also marvelous. My friend tried the BBQ burrito but he didn't want the beans or slaw inside cuz he's weird, so the cook suggested he add mac n cheese inside and my friend loved it. The staff here were all cheerful and helpful, the place was clean, and the food was delicious. I would definitely go back. read less

She greeted us and as we looked a little lost, she took us on a tour of the menu and how to proceed. She is the star of this place. The nachos with pimento cheese queso were epic. But the dry wings were the BEST!!!!! This is a must go to on Knox. read less

Hands down the best BBQ in this area! The ribs are a little bit of heaven in your mouth.

Let's start with the meats.  The chicken was nice and smoky and not dried out.  It did need some sauce (I combined the thick and spicy sauces at an employee''s recommendation) to put it over the top.  The brisket was done very nicely with that signature smoke ring and bark that you look for in a brisket.  The real winner was the ribs.  Wow, they were perfect.  The wings were great, with the dry being my favorite.  The sides were really good.  My favorite was the mac and cheese with the tater salad in a really close 2nd place.  I got to try the coleslaw off a friend's plate and it was great too.  The banana pudding was outstanding.  I took the cookie to go and ate it as we walked to the stadium.

This place is exactly what we were expecting out of a Tennessee BBQ place.  My only disappointment was that I didn't get to try the pimento cheese dip.  Here's hoping that there will be a return trip to Knoxville.  If there is, I know where I'm eating. read less

Our food was handed to us and we paid. Next we took a seat on the outdoor patio to enjoy the awesome atmosphere. The food was even better than it looked!  My husband had the dry rub ribs and they are now his favorite!  I had the pork BBQ and it's ruined all other subpar BBQ for me now. I'm spoiled!  The slaw and green beans were very good, but the Mac-N-cheese almost deserves its own review, it's just that good!!!!!  Service was fast and super friendly! read less

Clean, quick service wither ordering up front, and delicious southern eats. My friend and I were a little ambitious and overzealous in splitting the whole rack of ribs. Definitely enough for two hungry peeps and will do for leftovers too. Try all the sauces at the table: thin, thick, and hot. I liked the thick the best but they all serve their purpose. Collard greens side were also delish and tangy.

Come here for a soul food pit stop while in Knoxville! read less

My boyfriend and I shared a sample platter, which comes with quarter rack of ribs, pork or chicken (you can also add a bun to make it a sandwich,) brisket, and three sides. For our sides, we had mac and cheese, collard greens, and potato salad. It was SO delicious!! The unique seasoning they add to their meats is amazing, and there's a variety of sauces to add to the meats too. I thought the brisket was great! The spare ribs were a little dry. The pork tasted delicious as a sandwich. I loved the sides; collard greens weren't too sour, the mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, and the potato salad was tasty. Would definitely come again!! read less

You order "cafeteria style". I tried the sample platter, with potato salad, mac n cheese , and green melody mix. Two people could have EASILY ate this meal, and left full. I felt terrible because I had so much leftover. I ate the entire pulled pork portion, and 1 rib. Both were delicious ! The Mac and cheese was also good, super creamy. The greens and things melody ... could have used a lot more greens .. but the flavoring was great. If your every in town.. this is where to go! Just expect to leave uncomfortably full ! 🙂 read less
