“I’ve been meaning to try out Gann’s for months & so glad we did! We’ve been back twice now! The pork bbq party pack was a great deal & the BBQ & all the sides were delicious! Much better deal & food than some of the other local options. My daughter loved the smoked wings & the grilled chicken sandwich is amazing too! I’ll definitely be trying other menu items in the future. Swing by & grab dinner for your family or call ahead for it to be ready when you arrive…you won’t regret it!“

“Super good BBQ, busy little place with quick service. I had the brisket wedge and it was absolutely delicious! Piled high with perfectly moist and yummy brisket. Lots of bleu cheese, crispy onions and the best garlic roasted tomatoes on top. We shared the sausage, bologna and cheese appetizer and loved it. The pickles were the highlight - so good. My mom had the brisket sandwich, it was also piled high with lots of meat and tasted great! They also had a local Hefeweizen that was ice cold and went great with the BBQ.Parking: Parking was a little tight but were able to get a spot“

“So good!!! We got the rib dinner. The ribs are meaty and the sauce is perfect! We got potato salad, Cole slaw and baked beans for sides. All were delicious! When so many places used sides out of a carton or can, Billie Rae’s definitely does not!“

“I went into this place on their day off when they were having a social gathering. I was unaware they were closed. When I realized my mistake, they still offered me the best hospitality and fed me and welcomed me. These are the some of the best people I've ever met and I would recommend them and their wonderful food 10 out of 10 times. So if you're up my way on Western/Oak Ridge Highway, stop in, say hello and don't forget to try the pork. It is smoky and flavorful, along with their sides and banana pudding.“
