The current location, Downtown Dive, opened to fulfill barbecue cravings in downtown Knoxville in 2015. Located at 410 W. Jackson Ave., Downtown Dive was borne from a love of classic American dive bars and barbecue joints and carries on the tradition of Sweet P’s Southern heritage.
In the spring of 2021, the first full-service Sweet P’s concept, Uptown Corner, will open in Fountain City. Featuring table service and a bar, we look forward to serving our customers at 3029 Tazewell Pike and joining the Fountain City community.

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

You really can't go wrong with anything here, and each plate is full enough to share! The BBQ has always been fresh and lovingly prepared, and the sides are flavorful without being overwhelming! The brisket has been my favorite so far, and the "greens and things" (collard greens) with the potato salad are my go-tos. As a note, their sauces are not spicy at all. Except for the "thick" option, which is almost like a smoky ketchup, they are thin/vinegar based sauces. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for you to spice up your meal in any way or form. Whenever I am craving BBQ, Sweet P's is where I go! read less

I would highly recommend this place for local BBQ and that comes from someone who spent a lot of years I'm NC and SC, both Mecca's of BBQ.

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

The guy behind the counter said hands down, the best thing we got is the ribs. We ordered a half rack, some wings, collards, mac & cheese, & chocolate chess pie.
They let me know right away any menu items that I had food allergies with - which was AWESOME. I've had several encounters recently where this was not the case even after asking for confirmation.
The guy ended up giving us a full rack because he thought we'd love them. These were hands down the BEST ribs I've ever had. I wasn't sure what I'd think of the dry rub style but we tore them up. The collards were fantastic. They were cooked up with some apple cider vinegar, black eyed peas, carrots, and celery. Again - some of the best I've ever had. The mac & cheese was good and the chess pie was like a brownie in a pie crust. I loved it.
We wish this place was closer because we'd come here all the time. We will definitely be returning. 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

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

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

The food was tasty and the quality was what you'd want every place to be. I had the pulled chicken and it's my favorite of all time. The chicken was so yummy. The portion was good too. For sides I had mac n cheese and potato salad. The mac was really good and the potato salad was ok. I wish I had some pepper to add to it and it wasn't as cold as it was but I still liked it (just not my favorite). I also ordered the spicy beer batter fried pickle spears and that was delicious! Fried pickles should always be in spears. They came with two dipping sauces; one was ranch and the other was amazing but I don't know what it was. My husband had the chicken wings and he raves about them. They looked incredible! For sure they were made with love and looked homemade. I wish I had room in my tummy to try them. Next time for sure 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
