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.

I feel bad that the roads are all closed around it so it is hard to find but it is well worth the effort of finding it. The service was excellent and the staff was helpful and enthusiastic.

My boyfriend and I shared a sample platter, which comes with quarter rack of ribs, pork or chicken (you can also add a bun to make it a sandwich,) brisket, and three sides. For our sides, we had mac and cheese, collard greens, and potato salad. It was SO delicious!! The unique seasoning they add to their meats is amazing, and there's a variety of sauces to add to the meats too. I thought the brisket was great! The spare ribs were a little dry. The pork tasted delicious as a sandwich. I loved the sides; collard greens weren't too sour, the mac and cheese was creamy and cheesy, and the potato salad was tasty. Would definitely come again!! read less

I ordered a brisket. It was pretty flavorful, and the sauces were rich. However, it could've been a tiny bit more tender for that "melt in the mouth" feel. Minus one star for price. $12 for a simple plate. read less

Awesome Mac and cheese and banana pudding. Offers different styles of sauce. Go through the serving line, pay, and head up to the picnic tables in the beer garden. Lots of 1980's world's fair memorabilia, great bar inside as well. read less

All the side dishes are wonderful, and the thick barbecue sauce is probably the best barbecue sauce I have ever tried. I always get several to take home and savor, but I end up eating it all with a spoon out of the container! It is seriously that good! I know we have a lot of barbecue places, but you really must give this one a try! read less

I chose the chicken plate with green beans and tater salad, and all 3 sauces were delicious with the tender chicken. Also, the "thin" sauce made a tasty addition to my tater salad. For an appetizer my friend and I had the hot pimiento cheese and chips, which was also marvelous. My friend tried the BBQ burrito but he didn't want the beans or slaw inside cuz he's weird, so the cook suggested he add mac n cheese inside and my friend loved it. The staff here were all cheerful and helpful, the place was clean, and the food was delicious. I would definitely go back. read less
