We both had brisket. Nicely done! The Mac & cheese side was outstanding. The vibe is really cool and old school barbecue joint.

Well our trip to Knoxville was suppose to go out with a bang... Great meal to add to the books. That was not the case at this location. They have like a counter order and go vibe. The only issue with this is nothing is made fresh to order and it's been sitting all day. My pintos were under cooked and if you know anything about pintos you know that is the worst. The chicken was bone dry and since the make a not tasty pasta bbq sauce that we did not like. My son ordered 12 wings and only ate 6 before saying I've never had wings that I just don't like... wow!!! So if your looking for a little soul and flare look a little more before making this your choice. Our tab was $57 and we felt like it was a waste of money.

Almost on point BBQ. Wings are delicious. Dry Rub slightly over cooked. Overall great place and enjoy BBQ being away from Memphis.

An absolute must if you are looking for a barbecue in the area! The greens and things are in ultimate side dish to anything on the menu

Fromthe time my wife and I walked up to the lady working at cafeteria style counter to place our order to the obnoxious man at the register, I believe his name is Michael F. thats on my receipt. This should of been a sign to walk out with there rude and unacceptable attitude. The ribs my wife ordered where dried out and very little meat, terrible. We use to go to there other location that closed and never had an issue there. This was the first and last time we'll be coming back here.

Only in Knoxville for a few hours (for work) and had to try their BBQ... and it did NOT disappoint. By the time I got the food it was cold (my bad bc I was late to eat), but it was still SO GOOD. I can only imagine what it's like fresh. I got the beef brisket, but my colleagues got the ribs and sampler. The sampler had SO much food (two cartons!) and they did not skimp on any portions. The meat was... wow. Cooked to perfection and not over-seasoned (the ribs are dry rub). And their BBQ sauce... holy crap. I usually am not big on it but this sauce was SO good. One was smokey and the other had a lovely tang to it. Another show stopper was the corn bread- I would go back just for this as well. Best by far I've ever had.

Counter order style. Great ambiance with a lot of decor from the world's fair. Food is good home style barbecue and sides. Must get their Mac and cheese!

Pretty good bbq! We had the combo platter, so tried a little of each - ribs, pulled pork and brisket. The thick sauce was nice and tangy and the mac & cheese was better than I've had at many other places. I also recommend the banana pudding, rich with pieces of banana and cookie.

First time eating here. The food and service were great. I got the pork sandwich and you get a lot of meat. The mac n' cheese was fantastic. Definitely worth a stop of you are in the area.

This place hasn't changed for years and in the best way. It's so good! The burrito is a classic choice. Don't leave without trying the Mac n cheese or banana pudding.

Words can NOT explain...this is a spot you have got to stop off at!!! The team of employees all seemed HAPPY AND VERY ACCOMODATING. Thats a great big plus. The guy behind the counter explained and recommended and everything he said was true. The lima beans were delicious and I dont even like lima beans. But oh lets talk about the ribs, brisket, banana pudding, collard greans WITH BLACKED EYED PEAS my favorite. This visit was our first and it was a pleasure. Thank you to all the staff that was so welcoming to us Cali folks. You made our visit pleasurable and our tummies full. Love it!

Best BBQ ribs in town also make sure you try their banana pudding, best I've ever had. Very friendly people and a nice location by the lake.

Jason Hall

I will start by saying these are likely the best ribs I have had. Bar none. Excellent and friendly service, great prices, and quick! The sides were fairly good, and the meats in the Sampler plate were top notch. Solid brisket, very good pulled pork, and absolutely amazing ribs.Seriously, just get the ribs and you'll experience true joy for the first time in your life.
