We probably should have chosen BBQ, which smelled really good, or something different from what we ordered. The fried bologna sandwich with egg was too thick for our tastes. It would have been much better half the size and fried a little crispy. The sides we choose were: cornbread, pinto beans, fried okra, sweet potato casserole, and mac & cheese. All the sides were good except the mac & cheese. It tasted very salty the day we visited. The atmosphere and outside seating area was awesome. Staff was great. The Stevie Nicks cocktail was also very good. We will definitely be back to give them another try.

It's a cool small place with the rustic small town vibe. Seating inside for around 50-53 people with more available outside when weather permits. Ben who owns it really has a handle on food and public relations! Thank you for such great hospitality... it really made our day. Food- We had pork plates with sweet potatoes and potatoe salad... Definitely the cowboy beans. It is an enormous portion so be hungry when ordering here!!! The brownie desert adding any flavor of ice cream is highly recommended. Prices- The price for us, with 2 pork plates, 2 drinks (tea) and a desert wasn't too bad... all under $50 total. We definitely want to come back when the weather breaks and check out the outdoor venue. Live music and the summer days of these East Tennessee mountains.. add good food and friends it's a YES!

AMAZING food and great atmosphere! My husband and I love this place. We come here often. The inside has so much nostalgic memoirs while the outside is very nice and relaxing. Come for the live music too for a great time (but call in reservations first)!

We ate here for the first time on 2/8 and really enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the food! We have eaten at all of the BBQ restaurants in the tri-cities and this one is definitely our new favorite! The pulled pork is so flavorful and the texture is great. Our waiter was attentive and provided great recommendations, will definitely be back!

We celebrated our friend Cody's mother's birthday with yummy BBQ, fries, coleslaw, and the BEST potato salad. The pulled pork was melt in your mouth delicious and the brisket was yum. The apples and beans were perfect sides as well. We will be back!

My husband and I ate there 2-4-22. Sat at the bar and had great service from bar tender. We both ordered the ribs and got different side dishes so we could try everything! The ribs were soooo delicious! Sides were excellent too! Live music there was easy listening. Ben (owner) introduced himself, awesome dude, we said we would be back!!

I can’t say enough positive things about this fabulous find in the heart of downtown Jonesborough. I have never gotten a bad meal. The ribs are fall off the bone melt in your mouth. The brisket is to die for. Oh yes, and the hillbilly nachos…oh so yummy! Trust me, you will not walk away hungry, the portions are huge. All of the sides are amazing, especially the mac and cheese and fried okra. Want to try something on the lighter side, go for the BLT with a fried green tomato…you will not be disappointed. Definitely check them out on the weekends, it is action packed Thursday-Saturday with live music. Ben the owner is absolutely amazing, he is always greeting his customers and helping throughout the restaurant where needed! So what are you waiting for, get down there and check them out!!
