4 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Loudon

“Many times I have been to Jay's to dine, and take-out. I'm addicted to his fabulous menu. Today I tried his smoked chicken, OMG what a dish!“

“Ok, so I eat at Buddy's BBQ all the time. So today I go to the Bearden location for an early lunch. Get my food and drink and go to a table by the windows. As I am sitting there eating, small black ants are crawling everywhere, along the windows sills and even on my table while I was trying to eat. I killed about 3 . I did notice ants were on other tables along the windows. Plus the windows sills were dirty and nasty. Number 2, the TV was on and extremely loud....and what was on ? Sports!!!! Men yacking back and forth as fast as they could talk. Not everyone enjoys listening and watching sports in every restaurant in town!!!!!“

“Truly a hidden gem in rural TN just south of Knoxville. Found this place on a road trip through TN. Great food, friendly people, tucked away in a beautiful little town. Located right on Main Street, it’s within walking distance of all the shops. A must try if in the area. Some of the best brisket we’ve had. Can not go wrong ordering it if it’s available. The BBQ sauce is, as my husband says, “Chef’s Kiss”!“

“I highly recommend! There were 9 of us & all of us said the same thing about the restaurant! The service was great, the food was delicious, & the service was fast! We will definitely be eating there again, the next time we're in the area!☺️“
