Your wallet won't be hit hard because it's all quite reasonably priced as well. This is definitely worth a visit. read less

I asked what to get, the pit master asked if I was local or not. I informed him that I was not. He said that if that was the case then I should not miss the ribs. I followed his advice.
The long and short of it is that they were hands down the best ribs that I have ever had. Dry rubbed, fall of the bone good. They honestly didn't need sauce, but the sauce was good too. Great random pick. read less

We have come to the verdict that this place is hands down our favorite BBQ joint in the country. Everything on the menu is fantastic. The lima beans were next level and a great addition to the menu. And those smoked dry rub wings are a flavor party that will touch your tongue and slap ya in the brain. Great stuff, will be back (especially if we win today!) read less

This place is my go-to for wings/bbq downtown Knoxville. It is the perfect balance of approachable and delicious.

Simply the best BBQ downtown. The wings are to die for as is everything else. Cute atmosphere too!

I'd mention the sides but I don't care about those. Lots of parking across the street and a nice beer garden. read less

My husband has lived here most of his life and he didn't know this place existed.  Thank goodness for yelp we are searching Knoxville over for new places to eat.  I'm not a barbecue person at all but I am now!!! The ribs were the best I've had.  The pulled pork excellent!  The thin and thick sauces both wonderful!!! Pimento cheese dip awesome!  Split a sampler, plenty for 2 people and you get 3 sides.  Mac and cheese I loved.  Potato salad was good.  Banana pudding good.  We killed the main good before I thought to get pics.  Great ambiance, industrial look.  Staff quick and polite. read less

The mac and cheese side was absolutely delicious. The slaw is slightly dressed and not overly mayonaised. The collard greens were perfectly seasoned as well. The ribs were dry rubbed to perfection as was the brisket. My husband loved the banana pudding side. He can't stop raving about it. This place is in a beautiful part of Knoxville. The area has an arty vibe, is in a clean, and safe area . Take a stroll on the Main Street after lunch to help you digest. We parked about 500 ft away on the parking bridge. But there is a cheap paid parking lot right across from the restaurant too. Worth the detour off of I-40 for lunch. Only 1.8 miles off the highway. read less

Our food was handed to us and we paid. Next we took a seat on the outdoor patio to enjoy the awesome atmosphere. The food was even better than it looked!  My husband had the dry rub ribs and they are now his favorite!  I had the pork BBQ and it's ruined all other subpar BBQ for me now. I'm spoiled!  The slaw and green beans were very good, but the Mac-N-cheese almost deserves its own review, it's just that good!!!!!  Service was fast and super friendly! read less

The wings are the best in town! Order some Mac n cheese along with your meat and you will be in BBQ heaven. I ordered my wings wet and the spice was just enough with a side of ranch. The banana pudding was a simmering to the spice. read less

We got the sampler and were offered sides (banana pudding!) that weren't even on the menu. We have 2 young boys that were running around and the atmosphere was perfect for them to go wild without feeling like we were a disturbance to other guests.
This is the best brisket I have ever had and the homemade bbq sauces were dynamite.

The staff was so attentive and friendly and even it is obvious that everything was made fresh that day(which the staff confirmed).

We were there on a chillier night so the outside bar was closed but it was a really nice space.

I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular spot for me no doubt read less

I love this place. My only complaint would be that on busy shifts, they often run out of my favorite sides, but really, that's an easy fix, and I'm glad they're selling that much because downtown needs a solid BBQ joint like this to stay. read less

Sweet P's on the other hand is very veg friendly! They list anything that isn't vegetarian on the sides list when you walk in. Staff are also very helpful and friendly. The overall restaurant is a local favorite as well. I go here and always leave very happy and full! read less

If you are deciding between tator salad or Mac and cheese.  Go for the Mac. I preferred the thin sauce and others preferred the thick.

Great job staff. read less
