To sweet P's anyways and was elated that I did. Maybe I am a bit biased since this was immediately after Central BBQ but boy oh boy, this was one of the best BBQ I've had.

I was hesitant to get the dry rub since my last experience, it was so dry. I had to do it though, I refuse to believe all dry rub ribs in Tennessee tasted like tree barks. I was very happy with my choice. My half rack dry rub was amazing. The dry seasoning sprinkled on top had a crunchy sweetness to it, like crushed candy for meat! The ribs themselves were so juicy and moist. The meat simply fell off the bone, the crust was not hard at all and packed a lot of smoked flavor.

I also had a brisket plate that came with a side of mac and cheese and tater salad. The mac and cheese was good, nothing extravagant but a great pair for the BBQ. The tater salad had eggs and onion that added a fresh break for the heavy BBQ. Their brisket was fatty and moist and seasoned just right, although I wish it was a bit softer, some bites were still chewy.

The atmosphere was also great, you could dine inside or out in the patio, iced cold water was free. Sitting by the window you can overlook an industrial train track that was distinctly Tennessee. Overall, I'd give the place a 4.5 but since I had to compare it to places like Central BBQ, I'd give it a solid 5 stars. read less

You just pick something from the menu, order, and then you get the food in an instant. The last time I went was with my family, and we ordered the half rack of ribs with some sides. The meat was nice, soft, and well seasoned. The mac n' cheese had just the exact amount of cheese and was baked to perfection. If you are in Downtown Knoxville and your looking for a place to eat, definitely go to Sweet P's. read less

Simply the best BBQ downtown. The wings are to die for as is everything else. Cute atmosphere too!

I got the platter with a pulled pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, and potato salad, and I loved it all. The staff behind the line were super friendly and helpful for this first-time customer. The pulled pork was tender and tasty. 3 sauces to choose from: thick, thin, and hot. I mixed the thick and the hot and it was a great combo. The potato salad had a home cooked flavor that reminded me of a summer picnic. The Mac and cheese, however, had to be my favorite! Super, super cheesy! It's strange to say this, but even the Mac and cheese had a bit of a smokey flavor, which was really interesting. I also tried the banana pudding for dessert, which was tremendous! Yes, I ate way too much--but I'm happy I did it here! read less

Their rub is fantastic and for a small price you can buy a container of it to take home. We bring out of town guests here and Sweet P's never disappoints. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. I definitely recommend this place for those who love dry rubbed ribs (they have good BBQ sauce too--but who needs it?) read less

Sweet P's on the other hand is very veg friendly! They list anything that isn't vegetarian on the sides list when you walk in. Staff are also very helpful and friendly. The overall restaurant is a local favorite as well. I go here and always leave very happy and full! read less

The ribs were seasoned perfectly and fell off the bone. Everything was cooked fresh and was hot and delicious! The pimento cheese dip was to die for! Everyone was friendly and had great service.

I'm getting hungry just thinking about this meal again. Was recommended to get the sampler, one order was enough for two. Got the pork sandwich, ribs, and brisket along with the collared greens, Mac n cheese, and potato salad.

Pork sandwich - cooked to perfection and very well seasoned. Didn't even need to add any bbq sauce! Although their bbq sauce is also pretty dang good (comes in thin, thick, and hot!)

Dry rubbed ribs - not something I would ever think to order but oh gosh, everything just fell off the bone. From the meat to the cartilage, all that ended up in my stomach.

Brisket - melted in my mouth. Seasoning was a little different from what I'm used to. There wasn't that much flavor in my opinion but with a touch of that bbq sauce, YUM!

Sides - my brother isn't a fan of collared greens but boy did that change his mind. It wasn't mushy and had good texture. The Mac n cheese was my favorite!!! It had a different flavor to it. I think it had jalapeño added in but their cheese stayed runny and thick. It didn't solidify or anything. Good stuff. Potato salad was also seasoned very well. We needed something a little more on the refreshing side and this added just that.

Service was on point. From the ordering, to the paying, to the waiting... the Sweet P team is absolutely stellar! And to top it all off, they have $3 mimosas. Absolute WIN. read less

Fair prices and some seriously fresh food. Beer selection is top notch so if you like your heady brews then make this a lunch spot.

The pork plate with collards (they add fresh black eyed peas and carrots) and okra were excellent, however the clear winners of the lunch were the smoked chicken and Mac and cheese. Seriously. That Mac is something to write home about.

Bug fan of the sauce lineup: "thick" mild and hot. The latter two were very thin, very reminiscent of Carolina style vinegar sauce. The thick sauce was still on the thinner side and was more traditional. All extremely good. read less

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.

My mom recommended we go when she came in town for the LSU game and the spot was filled with LSU fans. I had the pulled pork plate with macaroni and banana pudding. I would get the same thing over and over again with how good it is. The macaroni has a smokey flavor to it and the banana pudding must be home made. I used the mild barbecue sauce for my pulled pork and liked it, very tender with a good flavor although the sauce was a little thin 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

My favorite is the beef brisket with double mac and cheese. Yum! Delicious sweet tea, a must for me. In cooler weather I like sitting on their patio. Part of the patio has a cool view.
