12 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Cookeville

“We visited The Blue Pig while we were vacationing at Dale Hollow lake. We found the place online and took the trip from Byrdstown to Cookeville on a chance for some good BBQ. The food was fantastic and the owner provided great service. The brisket, baked beans, vinegar slaw, and fries pickles were all wins for us. We will definitely visit this place again anytime we are near the area.“

“Great BBQ Spud as always!“

“Boast for HWY 70 BBQ to start off with the customer service was fantastic! The ladies here were so helpful with answering questions & making sure we got the perfect bbq sauce. I ordered the plate with 2 sides & got the shredded pork with the potato munchems & the potato salad. So the pork was very tender & cooked perfectly. The potato muchems are a fried cheesy tater tot. These weren’t my favorite but my friend Charity Cruz liked them. The potato salad was a bacon ranch mixture. I’m not really a fan of ranch but this was pretty good. I tried the vinegar based bbq & the sweet one. Out of the two I liked the sweeter one better. It was thicker as where the vinegar one was more liquified. My friend ordered the sliced shoulder with mac & cheese & green beans. It was very tender & flavored nicely. The mac & cheese was a little bland but had potential. The green beans were seasoned & cooked perfectly. She liked the vinegar bbq over the sweet one. Prices were reasonable & they give you a decent amount of food.“

“One of our 'go to' spots anytime we are near a location.
Today was no different; lunch at Longhorns.
We entered and were seated immediately.
Dana greeted our table with a smile and introduced herself as our server.
She was prompt, precise, and patient.
Our drinks and warm loaf of brown bread was served almost instantly.
My husband had the half-rack of ribs paired with Parmesan chicken breast.
I chose the 6 oz. Sirloin and grilled rock shrimp.
Everything was cooked as we had specified.
The entire meal was indescribably delicious.
I have no negative thoughts whatsoever with our dining experience today.
A large party was seated in Dana's dining section beside us.
She handled all of her guests with such professionalism and did so in a well organized manner.
Dana made it even more delightful for us.
Keep up the fantastic job guys_
Five stars were born here today.

“Thank you for such quick and delicious service. Definitely recommend! And the prices aren’t bad either.“

“The most amazing food I've ever had. I believe she had made brown stew. And it was one of the most amazing flavors I have ever experienced. She also was just the best. She let us munch on some of her recent harvest as she made us some food. This was like a year ago, and I think about it all the time.“

“Great service. Food was really good. We called about an hour before to let them know a party of 40 was coming in and they had a room available for the group. The 2 waitresses were amazing. They were fast, friendly, and orders were accurate.“

“It has a menu that takes a bit of getting used to, but the food is worth it! I got the Out West Double Burger tray with fries and hush puppies. The burger was cooked to perfection and the toppings were on point. It kind of reminded me somewhat of a cross between 'prime' BK & 5G. The crinkle fries were standard, but the hush puppies were a bit underwhelming. Overall, a great spot for a quick meal that'll fill you up. Just be prepared to study the menu for a few minutes first!“
