Morgan did a great job on recommending food as this was my first visit. This place hasn’t been open long but has a lot of promise. Food was very good. Relaxed vibe. The KC BBQ sauce is so good, fresh taste, with sweet heat. The brisket quesadillas was ????. Great flavor and the onions and peppers complimented the brisket very well. The place could use another tv or 2, to have a true sports bar feel and bar design is a little lacking but I’m sure things will change as they grow. We will definitely be back.

Enjoyed a fantastic meal that included burnt ends(some of the best we've experienced), brisket(tender and flavorful), and baby back ribs(delicious rub and smokey flavor). The loaded potatoe salad was a highlight of the sides. They have a wide variety of sauces to choose from. This location has only been open a month but is doing great with the food and service.

First time having Archers. Got a family order of pulled chicken plus a rack of ribs to go. They forgot our 2 sides at first, but quickly made it right. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The ribs were super tender and had a sweet and spicy bark on them, great ribs!The mac n cheese was delicious and banana pudding is the best.

New restaurant on the block! Delicious food! You will want to try this place out! Arthur’s BBQ is well known in Knoxville and this is their newest restaurant! I don’t think you will regret stopping in here, great selection of vegetables!

The food is AMAZING but the restaurant itself is still under construction after nearly a year of not longer with no visible signs of progress. They don’t have tea (sweet or un) only bottled water & cans of soda. I’m sure this is due to having to work out of the food truck that sits in front of the restaurant. They also have port-o-potties for folks to use if need be.

This was very good bbq we had the three meat plate chicken and ribs and pulled pork we would definitely be back.

The food is awesomeThe service is really just handing the food through a window in a trailer, but that is well executed.The atmosphere is.. outdoors...? Because it's really a take out exclusive operation at this location until the restaurant is done.I look forward to the opening of the indoor operations.

The BBQ is amazing I only gave the atmosphere 3 stars because they haven't gotten their restaurant open and are still working out of the food truck, but other then that it's awesome!

We called to place an order since the online system was down. It was a $130 order and the man taking the order acted like I was an inconvenience to him. I’m not sure why it was a problem but he was huffing and puffing when taking the order. I never said anything because I wasn’t 100% sure what was going on. My husband then goes to pick it up and the guy and woman working there were BOTH rude and acted like we were an inconvenience. Little did they know that we were feeding our family since my mother in law had a massive heart attack Friday. That’s why the order was so big. We had a lot of people to feed. I can’t believe anyone would even consider being rude to someone paying that kind of money. We will most likely never go back.

Something I didn’t mention on the Google review, the boy was being hateful because he had to make more slaw…BFD!! Sometimes you have to actually work for money and not just sit at your picnic tables talking all day.
