The Downtown Dive at 410 W. Jackson Ave., in Knoxville
is open and serving all of your Sweet P’s favorites.
The current location, Downtown Dive, opened to fulfill barbecue cravings in downtown Knoxville in 2015. Located at 410 W. Jackson Ave., Downtown Dive was borne from a love of classic American dive bars and barbecue joints and carries on the tradition of Sweet P’s Southern heritage.
In the spring of 2021, the first full-service Sweet P’s concept, Uptown Corner, will open in Fountain City. Featuring table service and a bar, we look forward to serving our customers at 3029 Tazewell Pike and joining the Fountain City community.

While I didn't see me go to side the green beans (which would normally be enough for me to boycott a place or at least issue a public thrashing), the replacement seems to be Lima Beans made I the Characteristic seasoned and mixed ingredient style that makes Sweet P's sides the best.
As a bonus, they made brisket chili which I also had as a side. They decided to add the chili today because of the cold weather. Now that's looking after your customers.
I can't wrap this up without saying the bbq was excellent as always. FYI. Best brisket in town. read less

The meat was incredibly flavorful and tender and the sides were perfectly spiced and hearty. Even the sauces were outstanding. We will be going home with full stomachs and good memories. Thank you! read less

And the food was better than good. I had the pulled pork, a little dry but their homemade BBQ sauce made it amazing. The green beans were ok, nothing to repeat unless your watching your weight. The Mac... that mac and cheese... awesome!
And the banana pudding placed me in the perfect food coma. I definitely recommend the outside seating area as well. Loved their draft beer selection as well. They dun good here. read less

Mac and cheese was awesome, too. I've been making the same homemade mac-n-cheese recipe for years at home and been very happy with it, until now--theirs was so much better than mine. Little known fact: you can get banana cream pudding as a side dish here. Yum! read less

The bbq is awesome as well. And I love the cole slaw. They also keep a great selection of beer, and their rooftop patio is really nice. Parking can be tricky on the weekend though! read less

In a location that is a short walk from the heart of downtown, this spot never has too long a wait even with its high regard. The pulled pork is some of the best I have ever had, I just would've preferred a larger portion. read less
