This place has amazing food! We had the brisket and it was very tender and flavorful! I absolutely always order coleslaw when I get BBQ and this was the best I’ve ever had!

I accept a lot when eating out but one thing I will not accept is a business that is not ADA compliant.My wife and I stopped here to pick up some food to take back to our hotel (we were in town for a convention)My wife got the brisket plate with baked beans and mac/cheese. I got the full rack of spareribs and fries.The woman helping us was I suppose the owner's wife. She was not overly personable, but we were taking our food out, so it didn't matter. First about the food....I did taste the brisket, beans and mac. The beans tasted like they were from a can. Seemed more like pork and beans than baked beans. Very thin sauce and not a whole lot of flavor. The mac and cheese was ok but a bit too salty for my taste. The brisket was tender, and you could taste the smoke flavor but that was about it. The fries I had were crinkle cut but by the time we got to the hotel, they were very soggy and almost inedible. The spareribs were very fatty and had a lot of gristle. I think I threw out 1/3 of the rack as it wasn't edible. The "cornbread" as they call it was just a pancake. It was pretty much disintegrated by the time we ate. Now, getting back to the resturaunt. The wife put 4 little tubs of bbq sauce in a bag. I knew I was getting a full rack of spareribs and I like a lot of sauce. I asked her if I could have more. She goes "how many are in the bag?". I told her 4. She says, "I'll give you ONE more". Really?? If I ate there, I would have a whole bottle on the table to use and she gets an attitude because I asked for a little more. As I got my money out to pay her, she saw my VA card (I'm a veteran) She says "you're a vet"? I said yes. She tells me her husband was a vet. Did not offer any military discount at all. Great way to support the military. But you know what? I could live with everything I just described but one thing I cannot and will not accept is a business that is NOT HANDICAP ACCESSABLE. My wife is disabled. She has to have a walker to walk. This place had no ramp to lead inside the building. They do have a small ramp, but you still have to get over a 6-inch curb. If my wife wanted to stop here on her own, she couldn't because she wouldn't be able to get to the door without help. VERY SHAMEFUL!! I have also reported them to the ADA. If you want sub-par food, limitations on the BBQ sauce you get, non-military discount and are not disabled, then this is the place for you! So many other BBQ places in the area. I will pick one of them next time. Very, very sad

Great little family business. Clean, great home-cooked food. Noticed a lot of take out. Not a pass by. Don't judge a book by it's cover! Special- catfish, greens, and chess pie.

Best kept secret in Lebanon!! The food is so good!!
At the end of my meal I looked over at the cook and said "This is exactly what I needed." I had the pulled pork w/potato salad & Mac n' Cheese. This was some of the most authentic bar-b-que I've had in a while and I am very happy I took the time to head over.

I stumbled upon People’s BBQ while working the TN State Fair and I’M IN LOVE! I ordered the brisket, potato salad, and baked beans and it’s all delicious. The owners are super friendly, the dining area is clean, the food 10/10 good.I’ll be back :-)

They have the BEST pulled pork!!! Their sides are also good especially the potato salad. The people are very friendly! I would highly recommend People's!

There was no waiting. I had the brisket, white beans, apples. The brisket had a good taste but it was so dried out and tough I couldn't eat much of it. The sides were not seasoned good, may be healthier, but doesn't taste as well. I will probably try them again and try something else on the menu.

I took my daughter to the bathroom and saw a roach crawling on the floor. I know everyone heard her scream. As for the food, greasy and bland. The portion my boyfriend received was very small. BE CAREFUL IF YOU GO TO THIS HOLE IN THE WALL, as another review read.
