The ribs are my favorite, but the pulled pork and the brisket are both fantastic. For something different try the burrito. The dry rub wings are great, too. Can't go wrong with any of the sides, but don't miss the mac and cheese. Save some room for some banana pudding. 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

I saw this place on Yelp and had to get some Tennessee bbq in. The menu was overwhelming but the friendly guys behind the counter and register helped us order the sampler telling us it's the best way to try more for less. They gave us the brisket, half rack of ribs (my favorite!) even gave us half and half of the pulled chicken (my next fave) and the pork. Sides were Mac and cheese (yum!!), sautéed greens and banana pudding (omg). Tried their pineapple cider special.

Everything was so so good! Customer service was perfect. I think we need to come back on the way back to Nashville. read less

My husband has lived here most of his life and he didn't know this place existed.  Thank goodness for yelp we are searching Knoxville over for new places to eat.  I'm not a barbecue person at all but I am now!!! The ribs were the best I've had.  The pulled pork excellent!  The thin and thick sauces both wonderful!!! Pimento cheese dip awesome!  Split a sampler, plenty for 2 people and you get 3 sides.  Mac and cheese I loved.  Potato salad was good.  Banana pudding good.  We killed the main good before I thought to get pics.  Great ambiance, industrial look.  Staff quick and polite. read less

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 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

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
