When I say 5 stars, I mean it. The food was delicious, the service was great, and it was just a great time. Our server John was the best. We don’t get out this way much, but this will definitely be a spot that we visit again. If you really want a great meal, get the ribs and potato salad. Absolutely phenomenal all the way around.

Some of the best ribs and pulled pork I've had in TN! Good amount of food for the price. Will definitely return when in Cumberland Caverns area.

Came here with a buddy for lunch. Solid little spot. Cool vibe inside. Service is a little slow, but the experience is very enjoyable. Everyone is friendly. The fried green tomatoes were really good. The bbq sauce in the shorter bottle is also excellent. Prices are on the higher side, appetizers are $10+, but it’s worth the money. I’d definitely come again and try some other stuff.

I live about an hour away. I love to eat here . The service , food , staff are great . It is very clean and great for a family , for one , and for large groups . I had the pulled pork both times on with fries and this time with fried squash . It is real home cooked food . The hamburgers are amazing and for the picky one chicken tenders . They have RC and Dr Pepper . The cobbler was amazing . The owner is friendly and down to earth man. I will go here every chance I get . The portions are large and I always have lunch for the next day . I would give them 10 stars if I could . Try it , you will be back . They also had sockeye as a special today. So many great things on the menu.

If you are looking for a restaurant to book your next event Collins River BBQ is your place! We had our sons rehearsal dinner in the party room upstairs. The Owner Mr. Jim and the entire staff went above and beyond to meet every need and request. Our menu for the event was buffet style (2 meats, 3 sides and beverages) for 50+ people. The food was served hot and fresh. The entire buffet was absolutely delicious. Thank You Collins River BBQ for an amazing experience! Would recommend 1000%!
Great service. Very friendly workers and provided suggestions on food and drinks. Jim was especially welcoming and knowledgeable about draft beer recommendations.
I ordered the hot buffalo wings and they were the perfect level of spice and not drowning in cheap sauce like many others. They were smoky, crispy, and had some good heat. The platter was good, the loaded potato salad was great and seasoned well. The coleslaw was nostalgic classic coleslaw, also not drowning in dressing.
Overall great small town restaurant atmosphere with good food and drinks.

This is one of the best places to eat in McMinnville. The owner Jim has always been so kind to us and his staff always stops to see if we need anything even if they aren’t our server. We appreciate John, he always treats our family so kindly, give that guy a good raise he is worth every penny!

Everyone working there was very attentive. At first I was thinking about the slightly higher prices. But when the food came there was more than enough. We took a lot home. Two people could share a meal.. but don't ... Get your own and take some home. I wish I was closer...
