Ron GAugust 26, 2015Ribs and Q combo, baked beans are on point.(and I'm from Boston). Local drafts are waiting for you. Took home the hushpuppies because I was stuffed and happy.
Dave GeDecember 31, 2014This place was great! Staff was super helpful with suggestions and also with offering samples of all the sauces. You'll need a change of clothes after though because of the smoked goodness. Yummy!
Benjamin SandersAugust 18, 2017The ribs…the chicken…you cannot go wrong!! Be sure to get some Alabama White Sauce, it's so tasty. Really compliments the awesome food and atmosphere.
Jane MarascoOctober 7, 2020Pork and brisket was good, but not as good Dickes, at times. Beans were superb along with fries, green beans and Mac and cheese.. the old central bbq in Memphis is still best overall ...
Even if you don't feel like a barbecue plate go to Martin's anyway and check out the great ambience. Have a Hippie salad with moist and tender smoked turkey. Killer sauces. Friendly helpful staff.
Eric LimMarch 24, 2017Brisket, ribs and pulled pork are my favorites. All cooked to perfection and I also prefer spare ribs to baby back. I find the spare ribs to be more tender! Second visit!
Laura WongJanuary 4, 2018You always know a good BBQ joint when there are paper towel rolls on the tables. Highly recommend the brisket. They smoke in house and have counter and takeout service.
Sherie SwerdlowAugust 28, 2015Had the redneck taco. It was good. The baked beans were better than the pinto beans. If I go back will try the brisket.
- Lyle ReedAugust 25, 2014Classic pulled pork every time. Put your slaw on that sandwich. Fries are amazing with dry rub on top. Do forget to add a bone!
IMO the BBQ in Nashville. Great selection of sauces to partner with all their smoked meats. Don't snooze on the wings, either.
Ms JezziApril 17, 2016Everything was great! We ordered the "big daddy". It was out of this world fantastic!
Jon SJanuary 10, 2016If you have enough people, I recommend getting the platter. Great meats and great beans. The beer selection is impressive.
I know it's hard to come to the best BBQ joint in Nashville and not order BBQ, but this is also home to the best burger in Nashville!- KellySeptember 16, 2021The baked beans were AMAZING! The mustard-based sauce is delicious - try it with the pulled pork!
- Kristina PApril 8, 2018the brisket was so good, also love the dry rub on the chicken wings. never get the green beans.
MikeSeptember 15, 2014The pulled pork was a knockout and the hot links were good. Surprisingly, the fries were quite tasty. Great BBQ joint!
Nick SawyerJanuary 6, 2016The Devil's Nectar hot sauce will burn your mouth off! Barbecue here is great. Try the potato salad too.
ChristinaJune 1, 2016Everything is good here, but I'd like to bring special attention to the baked beans! 😋
Heather FloydApril 5, 2014The BBQ was delicious, and they have Tennessee Brew Works' Basil Ryman on tap!
AbiAugust 22, 2017The whole hog was great. The sauces were good too. Baby back ribs were a little dry.

Amazing food! Everything was great! Try the red neck taco.
Becky HatfieldSeptember 27, 2016Go early. When we arrived at 8:30 they had sold out of everything except turkey wings and sausage. I was so sad.
My new favorite lunch is the hamburger. Staff is great.- Great combo platters...the baked beans are incredible!
Joseph WrightMay 18, 2016Wet baby back ribs were edible but had a hint of the "pee" smell of bad barbecue. Mac and cheese was Kraft. Broccoli salad was actually the tastiest thing I had.
Brisket sandwich was good. Root beer was also good. Get the southern belle sauce after ordering food.
Leah BouletFebruary 20, 2017Just walk up to the bar and eat there vs the insane line up at the door to order
