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.

The guy behind the counter said hands down, the best thing we got is the ribs. We ordered a half rack, some wings, collards, mac & cheese, & chocolate chess pie.
They let me know right away any menu items that I had food allergies with - which was AWESOME. I've had several encounters recently where this was not the case even after asking for confirmation.
The guy ended up giving us a full rack because he thought we'd love them. These were hands down the BEST ribs I've ever had. I wasn't sure what I'd think of the dry rub style but we tore them up. The collards were fantastic. They were cooked up with some apple cider vinegar, black eyed peas, carrots, and celery. Again - some of the best I've ever had. The mac & cheese was good and the chess pie was like a brownie in a pie crust. I loved it.
We wish this place was closer because we'd come here all the time. We will definitely be returning. read less

I got the platter with a pulled pork sandwich, Mac and cheese, and potato salad, and I loved it all. The staff behind the line were super friendly and helpful for this first-time customer. The pulled pork was tender and tasty. 3 sauces to choose from: thick, thin, and hot. I mixed the thick and the hot and it was a great combo. The potato salad had a home cooked flavor that reminded me of a summer picnic. The Mac and cheese, however, had to be my favorite! Super, super cheesy! It's strange to say this, but even the Mac and cheese had a bit of a smokey flavor, which was really interesting. I also tried the banana pudding for dessert, which was tremendous! Yes, I ate way too much--but I'm happy I did it here! read less

I looked up top BBQ In Knoxville and Sweet P's had brisket!! My son and I shared chicken and brisket. Great with the thick tomato based sauce. The Mac and cheese was also very very good.
Definitely not on the beaten path...but be adventurous and make your way here! read less

My mom recommended we go when she came in town for the LSU game and the spot was filled with LSU fans. I had the pulled pork plate with macaroni and banana pudding. I would get the same thing over and over again with how good it is. The macaroni has a smokey flavor to it and the banana pudding must be home made. I used the mild barbecue sauce for my pulled pork and liked it, very tender with a good flavor although the sauce was a little thin read less
This place is dynamite. Never had a bad meal and the sides are as good as the meat. I'm not...
