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.

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.

Got the three meet sampler - pork, ribs, brisket, and the Mac and cheese, green beans, and pinto beans. All very solid. Nice walk from my hotel and not far from the outstanding downtown area that is Knoxville. So nice.
Drinks are self serve, which I like as I consume a lot of unsweetened ice tea rather quickly. Staff was very visible in the dining area taking care of everything quickly and efficiently. Nice outdoor seating up a flight of stairs. Would definitely be a regular if I lived here, which given how much I liked what I've seen so far might not be that crazy an idea. read less

Thursday's special is the smoked meatloaf, don't miss on this if you like the combination of smoke and meatloaf. You get a hearty piece with 2 sides. I got slaw and Mac and cheese. Both crazy good!! read less

Tried the sausage, pulled pork, brisket, and ribs and all were scrumptious! I really like how they use a heavy dry rub to season the meat prior to smoking, it makes a great bark on the meat. The sauces and available drinks are great too. We tried an orange infused cider from Austin :). Highly recommended a we'll be back! read less

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

We ordered the Sampler and tried some of everything and it was all really good. We sat outside in their patio area and enjoyed every minute of it. The thick sauce was amazing on everything. read less
