These guys truly know their BBQ! Really good mac and cheese as well. And the sauces they had were very good; try mixing the thick sauce with the hot sauce! read less

I have the brisket chicken pulled pork mac & cheese collard greens and llama beans. This place a great parking across the street. So here's what you do you go inside you order your food first. As you move down the line and they are fixing your plate you pay for your food. Then you go find a seat. These guys are the best Intel believe me. The best in town. Go here people eat. read less

Great with the thick tomato based sauce.  The Mac and cheese was also very very good.  

Definitely not on the beaten path...but be adventurous and make your way here! read less

We have come to the verdict that this place is hands down our favorite BBQ joint in the country. Everything on the menu is fantastic. The lima beans were next level and a great addition to the menu. And those smoked dry rub wings are a flavor party that will touch your tongue and slap ya in the brain. Great stuff, will be back (especially if we win today!) read less

This is by far my favorite BBQ, always moist and on target. My daughter gets the chicken and the same. The Mac and cheese is is different than most others but great. Hard not to rack up the calorie count and avoid the banana pudding. Definitely my favorite of all BBQ. 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

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

We were not disappointed!!! The nachos are absolutely incredible. The chips are homemade and taste fantastic. The bbq is great. The Mac and cheese is amazing. The collards were just average in my opinion, but I'm from the south and eat them a lot so it would take a lot to impress me. I am so glad we came here. We will definitely be back if we are in Knoxville again. read less

The wings are the best in town! Order some Mac n cheese along with your meat and you will be in BBQ heaven. I ordered my wings wet and the spice was just enough with a side of ranch. The banana pudding was a simmering to the spice. read less

Tasty 'Q with quick service.  Have been twice and left a happy camper both times.  Reasonably priced as well.

Not only is it great food, but they have a great staff. Banana bread pudding is to die for!

Well, to my surprise this joint is a hit!!! The smell that hits you once you walk in makes you jump in joy! You walk in place your order,they give you your food cafeteria style and then you pay and choose your seat. I had the half rack of ribs and Mac and cheese and tater salad (southern way of saying potato salad) it was amazingly good. Rib meat was so tender and you get to add your own sauce at the table. For dessert I had banana pudding. read less

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

Loved the rub & tenderness of their ribs. We chose the Sampler Platter: 3 meats & 3 sides; Pulled pork, ribs, wings (out of brisket). Sides were mac-n-cheese, green beans & banana pudding. Everything... and I mean everything... was awesome. Nice to see fresh green beans! Pulled pork was moist and flavorful. Wings were spicy with garlic... yum.

If we were locals, this would be our "go to" place for bbq. Not a local, well, its just to good to pass up. read less

This place is my go-to for wings/bbq downtown Knoxville. It is the perfect balance of approachable and delicious.
