Our orders the last two weeks have shown a definite decline in quality and portions. Burgers both weeks were overly well done and dry. In addition yesterday the burger was more like 6 oz, not 8 oz. Portions of fries and okra were reduced as well. My wife ordered potato salad and slaw with her BBQ and got two slaws instead. I love having them in Friendsville but the value is slipping away as is the case most places.

Been searching the greater Knoxville area for good BBQ and finally found it! Totally worth the drive from Powell.

I just tried this place today in the hopes of finding a BBQ place (in the south of all places) that serves good BBQ. I will make a compliment sandwich. The coleslaw was good, it just missed some more vinegar to make it real good. I got the triple sampler. The fried bologna is just not nice at all. It has a bad texture and flavor. The pulled pork is wet, not from being juicy, but like it was frozen and thawed to serve. It had no real flavor other than the smoke-taste pork should have, but the wetness of the meat made it inedible. The pulled chicken was without any flavor and had the same feel of being thawed out for service. Both the pork and chicken had a very small amount of a BBQ sauce, but it had nothing special about it either. I would not order from here again, nor would I recommend anyone to either. I had the fried okra as well. It was a breading with no seasoning at all and was not cornmeal based, which is what one expects here in the south. I am from Alabama, and I know southern food. This place seems to be pretending to be a BBQ joint and I would assume the owners are not from the south.

Once again this place has provided great service and served up some absolutely fabulous food. I highly recommend trying this place out if you haven't already. The pulled pork, pulled chicken, baked beans, chicken salad wrap were fantastic but that smoked bologna is insanely good.

Really great find. Good brisket sandwich and fried bologna. Literally the best potato salad so be sure to get that as a side!

Took a 30 min detour and did not regret a single bite. We had the Ribs and they were amazing. The Fried Pickles were perfection. Go. Like now.

The service and atmosphere was top tier. I was looking for a new place to go and I struck gold. The guy at the front offered his recommendation since it was my first time here and went above and beyond to made sure I had everything I need. I’m from a small town in Alabama but now live in East Tennessee and work in sevierville so this place felt right at home. The food was worth every dollar I paid. Thank you guys for such a great lunch and experience. I will definitely be back again.

Yeah, holy hell! This is some darn good food! Seriously, I’m hard to please and I have ordered from here 3 times in the last week using door dash. The food showed up and looked amazing, tasted incredible, and was worth every penny! Do yourself a favor and get the BBQ burrito!

You can not go wrong here. Second time here, and I am not disappointed. I had the OG burger that was the perfect amount of spicy. Burger was a little dry, but that was probably due to being made of brisket. More sauce solved the problem. Also had the ribs that were great with no sauce. You can choose up to 6 bbq sauces to put on it as well.

The worst part is smelling the smokey goodness outside at the town park behind the restaurant where my kids play. It just is not fair, I do not know how I have not had everything in the menu yet. I will be back.
