“ One of the best bbq ever pulled pork , brisket, Mac n cheese, and the beans where off the chart ”
“ Great barbecue at a reasonable price. This is amongst my favorite restaurants for barbecue. If you want authentic Tennessee cuisine this is a must try. ”
“ Have purchased their turkey and dressing several times on Thursdays. I've had them smoke my turkey during Thanksgiving holiday. I've been there several times and recommend them fully! ”
“ Good food but not always open & hard to tell when they are open. Nice family size meals and they do cater. Great take out sandwiches and meals. ”
“ The food is really good but the prices are really high. They are not open daily so you have to check their hours. I think the portions are small for the money, but delicious. I have not eaten anything that was not very good. ”
“ Delicious Barbecue! I love the fried pies too. Best place I've been to get barbecue nachos and their Queso is out of this world! ”
“ Highly recommended for take-out. Helps to erase those COVID-19 blues. Pork has solid smoked taste--not shallow nor overwhelming. Generous servings and very reasonable prices. My fav is the BBQ stuffed potato, which is actually cooked spot on so that the potato is creamy, hot and soft. They pile on the meat too. Great deal if you are hungry. The hot sauce is different but try it--very tasteful. Next time I'm taking a bottle home. Service is friendly and fast. ”
“ Excellent brisket. I mean. Really. Smoke ring was deep, dark, and yum. Good pull, tender. ”
“ This is the best bbq place in Ever!! The food is amazing awesome tasty sides and the employees are super friendly. I ordered the beef brisket dinner plate and I couldn't have asked for anything more!!! Don't forget to try the fried pies!!! :D ”
“ When I get a craving for barbeque in Shelbyville, this is where I end up. It is a small, humble business but I do believe I'll have more, thank you. I have tried and recommend the pulled pork, pulled chicken, chicken wings and beef brisket. The smoked sausage tastes generic. I have not tried their ribs. My friend prefers the Bar-B-Que Nachos. The sides are generous and the potato salad stands out ( I think they put a little bit of the pulled pork in there!). There are daily specials from Monday - Thursday: Monday - Meatloaf dinner Tuesday - Wings are 1/2 price! Wednesday - $1.00 off any sandwich Thursday - Chicken dinner They have a small plastic globe with peanuts flavored with their "famous" Butt Rub for you to munch on while you are waiting for your order. There is a small bar area with stools for eating there, but I believe most people order take-out. They have a drive-thru if you are in a hurry; however, there are no peanuts for you! ”
