Considering this is a BBQ restaurant in southern TN I thought the ribs would be good. Bland and overcooked, I was disappointed. The non alcoholic drink was yummy but way overpriced: $9 for some juice and club soda? The ones with alcohol were $10

Waiter seemed to have a slight language barrier so ordering was a slight challenge. However, the food was amazing!

This place had ok bar b q and the staff were great. It’s not a super great bar b q place, but it’s not the worst either. The restaurant is dated and sorta rundown on the inside.

The restaurant has nice ambiance. The staff is friendly and helpful. We tried their non-alcoholic drink which was amazing and so was their house bread. My husband didn’t like char-grilled shrimp, it had no flavor. The 1/2 smoked chicken was good but bit dry from inside and the macadamia nut banana pudding was cherry on the top.Parking: Parking is validated by the restaurants

I ordered the smoked chicken as an appetizer which was good but it could have been smoked a bit longer. It had that smokey flavor that I love. The Cole slaw was good but very small. The ribs were too dry and barely any meat on it for its price. Honestly for the price I paid for the whole meal($30) I should have been stuffed but ended up ordering pizza down the street to feel full.

Hands down the best meal I’ve had on this trip so far. I went in with low expectations since it’s a small TN chain restaurant but they won me over.The BBQ was good. The ribs had a good bite and bark. The brisket was good. The chicken wings were smoked to perfection which a lot of places have trouble with. The fresh green beans were also prepared excellently.The place was fairly busy but the service was perfect and for a restaurant in a tourist trap city I was fairly impressed. I’d totally go back.

Really cool atmosphere place, service wasn’t too bad, but the food was a bit sub par. Claim to have the best ribs in Gatlinburg, and they were most definitely not. I also got the signature sweet n spicy bone in wings, the wings were cooked good, but the sauce is lacking something. It just tasted like straight buffalo sauce.

As always the food is great. Today I had the honor of meeting Ms Janice and let me say she made my day. She has the best personality period. Job well done
