In the spring of 2021, the first full-service Sweet P’s concept, Uptown Corner, opened in Fountain City. Featuring table service and a bar, we love serving our customers at 3029 Tazewell Pike and enriching the Fountain City community.

My favorite is the beef brisket with double mac and cheese. Yum! Delicious sweet tea, a must for me. In cooler weather I like sitting on their patio. Part of the patio has a cool view. I've never tried any of their desserts, but I'm sure they're fantastic as well. read less

Their rub is fantastic and for a small price you can buy a container of it to take home. We bring out of town guests here and Sweet P's never disappoints. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. I definitely recommend this place for those who love dry rubbed ribs (they have good BBQ sauce too--but who needs it?) read less

I wasnt really sure what to expect as we had just spent a lot of time in Memphis dining on wonderful BBQ but oh my goodness I was blown out of the water.
Everything on the menu looked amazing so I struck up conversation with a really nice guy working behind the bar who walked us through the menu and let us know what their stand out items were.
We ordered the Sweet P's Sampler with a pork bbq sandwich, beef brisket, and 3 sides. Typically the sampler also comes with 1/4 rack of ribs but because it was UT gameday, they had sold out of them quickly but offered us wings instead. For the sides we got coleslaw, pinto beans, and mac n cheese.
The sandwich was AMAZING as we added coleslaw and loads of sauce to the mix. The brisket was phenomenal and I could have eaten another half pound of it to myself. The pinto beans were the best ive ever had and the mac n cheese could not go without note as it was unique and tasty in each bite. The crowning jewel for the both of us was the wings. I dont know what they put in that sauce but our eyes lit up the second we took a bite and felt that crispy juicy crunch. We were literally fighting over the last wing.
We ended the meal with a bacon chocolate chip cookie and it was the finishing touch to an amazing meal. The sampler was the perfect amount of food for two people and we are already looking at our schedules to figure out when we can go back (important to note that they are closed on Mondays). Thanks Sweet Ps for an amazing meal! read less

I'm getting hungry just thinking about this meal again. Was recommended to get the sampler, one order was enough for two. Got the pork sandwich, ribs, and brisket along with the collared greens, Mac n cheese, and potato salad.
Pork sandwich - cooked to perfection and very well seasoned. Didn't even need to add any bbq sauce! Although their bbq sauce is also pretty dang good (comes in thin, thick, and hot!)
Dry rubbed ribs - not something I would ever think to order but oh gosh, everything just fell off the bone. From the meat to the cartilage, all that ended up in my stomach.
Brisket - melted in my mouth. Seasoning was a little different from what I'm used to. There wasn't that much flavor in my opinion but with a touch of that bbq sauce, YUM!
Sides - my brother isn't a fan of collared greens but boy did that change his mind. It wasn't mushy and had good texture. The Mac n cheese was my favorite!!! It had a different flavor to it. I think it had jalapeño added in but their cheese stayed runny and thick. It didn't solidify or anything. Good stuff. Potato salad was also seasoned very well. We needed something a little more on the refreshing side and this added just that.
Service was on point. From the ordering, to the paying, to the waiting... the Sweet P team is absolutely stellar! And to top it all off, they have $3 mimosas. Absolute WIN. read less

She greeted us and as we looked a little lost, she took us on a tour of the menu and how to proceed. She is the star of this place. The nachos with pimento cheese queso were epic. But the dry wings were the BEST!!!!! This is a must go to on Knox. read less

I have the brisket chicken pulled pork mac & cheese collard greens and llama beans. This place a great parking across the street. So here's what you do you go inside you order your food first. As you move down the line and they are fixing your plate you pay for your food. Then you go find a seat. These guys are the best Intel believe me. The best in town. Go here people eat. read less

Loved the rub & tenderness of their ribs. We chose the Sampler Platter: 3 meats & 3 sides; Pulled pork, ribs, wings (out of brisket). Sides were mac-n-cheese, green beans & banana pudding. Everything... and I mean everything... was awesome. Nice to see fresh green beans! Pulled pork was moist and flavorful. Wings were spicy with garlic... yum.
If we were locals, this would be our "go to" place for bbq. Not a local, well, its just to good to pass up. read less

The food was tasty and the quality was what you'd want every place to be. I had the pulled chicken and it's my favorite of all time. The chicken was so yummy. The portion was good too. For sides I had mac n cheese and potato salad. The mac was really good and the potato salad was ok. I wish I had some pepper to add to it and it wasn't as cold as it was but I still liked it (just not my favorite). I also ordered the spicy beer batter fried pickle spears and that was delicious! Fried pickles should always be in spears. They came with two dipping sauces; one was ranch and the other was amazing but I don't know what it was. My husband had the chicken wings and he raves about them. They looked incredible! For sure they were made with love and looked homemade. I wish I had room in my tummy to try them. Next time for sure read less

We had the sampler and a burrito. A+ all the way. 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

We went on a Friday evening and split the sampler (pulled pork, briscut, ribs, and three sides) and it was PLENTY of DELICIOUS food. We also ventured upstairs to the beer garden.

The ribs are my favorite, but the pulled pork and the brisket are both fantastic. For something different try the burrito. The dry rub wings are great, too. Can't go wrong with any of the sides, but don't miss the mac and cheese. Save some room for some banana pudding. read less

We were not disappointed!!! The nachos are absolutely incredible. The chips are homemade and taste fantastic. The bbq is great. The Mac and cheese is amazing. The collards were just average in my opinion, but I'm from the south and eat them a lot so it would take a lot to impress me. I am so glad we came here. We will definitely be back if we are in Knoxville again. 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
