This was are first time trying Newts. It was AMAZING!! The service was great, the food was awesome and I could drink the sauce by itself. We were so full we didn't get the dessert but we came back the next day and tried the cherry cobbler. I'm glad we did.

This place is absolutely perfect country bbq. Delicious pulled pork pork, mac & cheese and baked apples. Recommended destination. Great service and the nicest southern folks in the world. Prices are a bit high but cannot complain too much as the food was delicious and atmosphere was welcoming.

Stopped in after a long day of hiking and it was definitely a good choice! Everything we had was amazing and the ladies were so nice!!! We had brisket sandwiches, pulled chicken, fried bologna, a bunch of sides and a bit of banana pudding and everything was so tasty! Definitely eating there again before we go home 😁

I love this place. The food is ridiculously delicious, the atmosphere is darling. We’re from Murfreesboro and will return to eat here.

1st of all amazing BBQ! What most people would call a little hole in the wall. The different types of sauce are out standing. We even get extra to take home! They get a 10 from me !

The ladies working were really nice, but it is not a restaurant. It’s like cafeteria food. Everything is lined up in warmers and crock pots on a table. Went in the back because daughter had to use restroom. Their “kitchen” (if you can call it that) was a mess. The only method they had to cook food was instantpots and a microwave. Didn’t see a smoker anywhere on the property. They were literally microwaving the meat. The lady came in the back to check the microwave meat, poked it with her bare fingers, then added more time to the microwave and went back to the front. There was a hair in my daughter’s food (she didn’t tell me until we left the restaurant because she felt bad complaining or I would have said something). The quality of food is poor and overpriced. Do NOT get the green beans. They’re so bad. Also, they just put an ice bucket out for customers to serve their own ice with a scoop. I’m surprised the health department allows this. It is a Hepatitis outbreak waiting to happen. I do not want to take ice from a bucket that how many other random people have dipped their dirty hands into. Their sweet tea is the worst I’ve ever had. Let’s put it this way: we were there on a Friday at 5:30 and there were zero other customers. With so few restaurants in the area, you’d think they’d have more customers on a Friday at peak supper-time. The burgers are just cheap frozen patties. Most of the food was edible, but just not good and definitely not worth the cost. Brisket was dry. Pork was bland. Mac&cheese bland and oily. And you can’t just put Bbq sauce on microwaved Instantpot meat and call it BBQ. I wouldn’t eat here again.

Stop in for a sandwich and grabbed a platter to go. Pulled pork, Brisket, and ribs. They were all very good. Definitely will return. They also had some great looking deserts.

I was very impressed! Staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was also great! I would definitely recommend.

Got one meat with 2 sides, husband got a pulled pork sandwich with 2 sides, 2 glasses of sweet tea we had to serve ourselves, $42. Would not recommend. Waste of a place to eat on our vacation.

We ordered the loaded nachos, a pulled chicken sandwich with fries, and brisket with coleslaw and mashed potatoes & gravy. Our total was $54! The portion sizes for the sides were pretty small—not worth $3.99 each. Unfortunately, both the brisket and the chicken were bland, lacking the flavorful punch we were hoping for. There’s definitely better BBQ out there. Wouldn’t go out of my way to come back.
