I'd mention the sides but I don't care about those. Lots of parking across the street and a nice beer garden. read less

Three different house BBQ sauces; one of which I bought and brought back to Houston. I was there for lunch the day before Thanksgiving, an hour before they closed, and as busy as they were they still took time to treat me like well and answer my questions about the menu and different sauces. 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

The barbecue buttito is to die for!  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 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

Meaty, tender, fall off the bone, none of that hard crunchy stuff. Served with dry rub so you can add your own sauce. Also brisket is excellent, chicken & pork not bad either. The sides are awesome! Mac and cheese, and Greens n things - once again, best in America. For a change, try their pimento cheese dip with house made potato chips. It's listed as an appetizer, but you won't get it until you've already started on the rest of your meal. Food is served cafeteria style, with the guys behind the counter loading your plate up as you go through. My only complaint about Sweet P's is that they will run out of stuff, especially on UT game nights. Everything's good, so if they're out of ribs, get the brisket. But if they're out of mac & cheese, go home! read less

Sweet P's on the other hand is very veg friendly! They list anything that isn't vegetarian on the sides list when you walk in. Staff are also very helpful and friendly. The overall restaurant is a local favorite as well. I go here and always leave very happy and full! read less

The mac and cheese side was absolutely delicious. The slaw is slightly dressed and not overly mayonaised. The collard greens were perfectly seasoned as well. The ribs were dry rubbed to perfection as was the brisket. My husband loved the banana pudding side. He can't stop raving about it. This place is in a beautiful part of Knoxville. The area has an arty vibe, is in a clean, and safe area . Take a stroll on the Main Street after lunch to help you digest. We parked about 500 ft away on the parking bridge. But there is a cheap paid parking lot right across from the restaurant too. Worth the detour off of I-40 for lunch. Only 1.8 miles off the highway. read less
