All great.) I can't speak to their sauces. I always take mine home and sauce it with my bottle from a place in Kansas City. Oh, and the Mac and cheese is good too. read less

We got the sampler and were offered sides (banana pudding!) that weren't even on the menu. We have 2 young boys that were running around and the atmosphere was perfect for them to go wild without feeling like we were a disturbance to other guests.
This is the best brisket I have ever had and the homemade bbq sauces were dynamite.

The staff was so attentive and friendly and even it is obvious that everything was made fresh that day(which the staff confirmed).

We were there on a chillier night so the outside bar was closed but it was a really nice space.

I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular spot for me no doubt read less

We went on a Friday evening and split the sampler (pulled pork, briscut, ribs, and three sides) and it was PLENTY of DELICIOUS food. We also ventured upstairs to the beer garden. Beautiful little area! I would say Sweet Ps is a must see if you're visiting Knoxville! 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

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

The tater salad was a great side option and the Mac and cheese was the best I've ever had. Didn't have to wait long to order, and although it was busy, the staff kept the line moving and seats available. Great place. read less

I asked what to get, the pit master asked if I was local or not. I informed him that I was not. He said that if that was the case then I should not miss the ribs. I followed his advice.
The long and short of it is that they were hands down the best ribs that I have ever had. Dry rubbed, fall of the bone good. They honestly didn't need sauce, but the sauce was good too. Great random pick. 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

We ordered the brisket w/ mac n cheese & pinto beans and the Turkey club. Both were great. It's my favorite brisket! I loved the bbq sauce too. The employees were nice and worked fast. We were getting ready to leave and a little boy asked us if we needed a bag. It was the sweetest thing. I'll be back to try the ribs. read less

9/22/18 Went to Sweet Ps again last night and the wife for some Florida Hate Eve rage eating to get a nice foundation for today's tailgating. 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 read less

I had the smoked meatloaf with mac & cheese, and was blown away. Also had raw fries and pimento cheese, the salt rub they put on the chips was better than any chips I've had in a long time. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Knoxville! 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
