If you are looking for soul food this is the spot in Knoxville. The Mac and cheese was gooey yet incredibly tasty. The fried chicken was perfection. The meat on the ribs fell right off the bone. Lastly, the banana pudding, my favorite!! Just the right amount of sweet and banana flavor.  Yum!!! 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

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

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

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

If you're in Knoxville and want to complete your trip with an unforgettable southern BBQ experience...then Sweet P's is a must! Flavors were on point, sauces were fantastic (although I didn't use much sauce for my meats since the flavors of the meats were sooo good already to begin with), meats were exceptionally moist and tender...AND to top off the experience, the banana cream pudding was PHENOMENAL!!

Service was great! Everyone is super friendly. Check this place out!!! read less

Wanted to give some Tennessee style BBQ a try passing through Knoxville and this place does not disappoint. Tried the sampler platter and fried pickles. For cafeteria style on a less than busy, freezing cold night, everything was hot and fresh. The ribs were the highlight. Pulled pork was also fantastic. Brisket was good but not as great as the rest. All the sides were delicious as well, especially the Mac and cheese! If I find myself in Knoxville again this will be a stop for sure! read less
