Wish I had tried this place sooner.

Not very good food… The environment was ok… Definitely did not have bbq sauce that was worth anything.. The pulled pork and brisket was dry and had no flavor… I definitely would not go get food back here this is not really bbq to me

Found this little place and satisfied my wife and I for quick tasty barbecue and a beer. The trick is to definitely use their sauces on the table. They are are very good.
I mentioned that it was our first time but that did not instill and action in explaining whether you carry it to your table or not. Since I waited a short time at the table for the second sandwich, still am unsure about that. But, good was good, place was cool and I’ll come back.

Not the best barbecue I've ever had, but it was solid for fast food barbecue. Service was great and patio area was super chill.

Great food. we shared the sampler, Mac n cheese, pinto beans and tater salad. Chased w dessert sampler of banana pudding and chocolate chess pie. YUM!!! if we lived here, we'd be regulars. Employees all happy and helpful.

I ordered a platter that came with a piece of brisket, a pulled pork sandwich and ribs. The sides I had were Mac and cheese which was pretty good, a side of Cole slaw which was also great, and a side of tater salad, my least favorite side.

The pulled pork sandwich was good, not great. The brisket was out of this work. Super tender and extremely tasty. I wish I had more. The ribs I was quite disappointed in. They were a dry rub which was fine, the meat was just extremely tough and dry. I felt like I needed to add sauce to really try and enjoy it.

Overall, great vibes and service and would stick to the brisket if I got the chance to go again.

I didn’t eat in, but the ascetics were industrial and fun. I ordered to-go and it was prepared quickly and the food was quiet wonderful. It’s hard for me to admit when smoked meats are equal to or better than my own but here we are. I’ll definitely make a point to come back if I’m ever back in Knoxville. This is a must.

Delicious BBQ meats and all the fixins'! Friendly staff too.

Nothing to eat besides a loose meat plate if you’re celiac. They have an outdated GF list and are very defensive about it even though we will get sick. Just get fries without flour maybe and stop being rude about it. Shout out to the nice younger girl working who has to put up with that person all the time as her boss!

The food wasn't hot, was barley warm. Meat was tough and dry. Sides didn't have much flavor. This sounds fake but it was actually that bad. Not another person in the restaurant, now I know why. I never write reviews but how disappointing it was, people need to be warned.

Good casual place for BBQ. Order at window. Take tray with paper plate to table. Sauces are really tasty. I ordered the beef brisket plate. Mac and cheese, and tomato and blue salad, for my sides. My top piece of meat was delish. Juicy and flavorful. The bottom two pieces were dry and a little tasteless. My husband's entire brisket was juicy. I think I might have gotten the last of the roast before they carved a new one. It definitely wouldn't stop me from going back. Just something to be aware of. Total for two brisket plates and two beers was $50.

What all BBQ restaurants should be like. The absolute best greens I've ever had too!

The staff was very welcoming when my mother and I walked in! I ordered the full slab of ribs with a side of Mac and cheese and slaw. For my drink, I had the bottled root beer. Everything was good!
