Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint

Hubby and I had pulled pork sammy with side of potatoe salad. It was good made from red potatoes skins throughout. Meat was yummy. Sauce is thin liquid not actual thick bbq sauce.

I’ve tried to like this place, but after giving it three chances, I’m done. Each time I ordered ribs and brisket. The ribs were either too chewy or too tough to eat. The brisket was decent the first time, but by my third visit, the brisket sandwich I got seemed like it had either been sitting out, was from the day before, or the bread was swapped from another sandwich. There was even an orange spot stuck on the top of the bread, which made me question what I was eating. The BBQ sauce had soaked into the bread like it had been sitting for hours, and I had to pour BBQ sauce just to try and eat it but I couldn’t

For nearly $40, this was really disappointing. I won’t be back—I’ll take the 30-minute drive to Mission BBQ instead.

BBQ and sides were solid. Had we not been there with locals, we wouldn't have known that you can request additional sauces. For the price, I'd expect a bit more on the plate. So, I'd probably recommend one of the sampler trays if you're feeling peckish.

I visited this location on my way back home from spending the weekend in TN. I saw good reviews on TikTok and decided to try it out because the whole weekend I was very impressed with how good the food was and especially bbq down there. I spent $40 (the priciest bbq I had) and sad to say the brisket was dry, under seasoned, didn’t even taste bbq’d honestly. The bbq sauce was the only thing that made it a little better. The smoked wings were ok but the Mac was delicious. Wish I had better bbq to have brought back home though. Also customer service was great!

After eating the ribs from here I understand why the Mt Juliet Buzz (community) ranked this the best BBQ in Mt Juliet. I absolutely loved the ribs, both the dry run and the wet were fall off the bone wonderful.
My issues were that the brisket was on the dry side although flavorful and delicious as well. It really did need the BBQ sauce. The pancake of cornbread also wasn't great.
The mac and cheese was wonderful as well.

The food here is mouthwatering delicious. The staff is very kind and helpful. I called to ask them when they were closing and they were 6minutes away from closing, I told the guy oh no im only 2 red lights away from you guys. He told me don't worry about that come on and drive safe. I showed up and they even let us dine on the inside after closing hours. I was totally appreciative because my family had spent the entire day at Nashville Shores and we were sooooo hungry.This is by far the best BBQ in the entire area!!! Get the brisket the baked beans and tatersalad!!!!!! Amazingly delicious 😋 I just might go there tonight for dinner 🤣 😋 😋 😋
