Review Martin's Bar-b-que Joint - Mount Juliet

Been in Tennessee for a long weekend and have been looking for great brisket. We finally found it at Martin’s. The bbq places have mostly been a disappointment so far so we went here thinking it would be more of the same, but we were wrong The brisket and Mac and cheese were the best we’ve had this entire trip. The pork was great as well only being surpassed by Peg Leg Porker. Highly recommend!

The meat here is 5 stars all day long!! This is by far my favorite B-B-Q joint in America! I was however disappointed in the baked beans - they were spicy and not quite as flavorful. No one in my group cared for them, including myself, which was a disappointment because previously these were my favorite side dish. They were still good, just not the same as previously. The staff was mostly friendly, but a few seemed like they didn't care if they were there or not. Prior experiences the staff was fantastic and friendly. I wanted to buy a shirt or a hat, but the price was just much higher than I was willing to spend. Most restaurants that sell merchandise offer a discount when spending $x there. I spent over $50, I think getting a shirt for $15 or a hat for $10 would still have been profitable for Martin's and a great value for me (not to mention the advertising value). I have friends in the shirt business, so I'm certain they spent no more than $8 per shirt. Martin's - if your paying more than that, you should message me... Overall, I would still highly recommend Martin's B-B-Q the food is amazing and definitely worth a side trip if your in the Nashville area!! I would have added a photo, but I had driven more than 400 miles and the food smelled so great I couldn't wait lol

You know I want to love this place, but the sad truth is they're just really inconsistent. Sometimes the brisket is to die for, others it's like a pot roast for some reason. Turkey had been spot on every time though. So that's at least an easy one to recommend. Pulled pork has been pretty dry the few times I've tried it, and the spare ribs were rough. I'll keep going back, but it sure would be cool to have it be less of a lottery as to how your BBQ is going to come out. I get it's not a perfect science, but having a 50% hit rate on brisket has been rough, especially given the price.

Spent near $60 on a rack of spare ribs and a rack of baby back ribs. Got shoe leather baby backs. Dry. “Wet” to me means sauced liberally. These had next to no sauce and we so over cooked I could have used the meat to make shoes. The “wet” spare ribs had, much as the baby backs, next to no sauce on them. They were better but unseasoned and next to no flavor. My sides - I got like a tablespoon of flavorless mac n cheese, so so potato salad and baked beans that tasted canned. So disappointed and I feel ripped off. I will never go back.

Friendly staff, good food and fun decor. A little more more expensive compared to other bbq restaurants I've visited.

First time to try the dry rub wings. They were amazing. BBQ amazing as always, ribs were a little to dry. Best macaroni and cheese ever. Just a little over priced in my opinion

We had Martin's cater our wedding and we got so many compliments about the food the entire night. They were super easy to work with and even provided us with a list of foods we had ordered and what allergens they contained as we had many dietary restrictions to abide by. We absolutely love Martin's and would recommend their catering service to anyone. Tip: order extra of the smoked turkey - it was the firs thing to go!

New crew working there seem to be friendlier than the last few visits. They run out of brisket and pork early but I was grateful cause their smoked turkey was a hidden gem. Pecan pie is clutch too

Best place to eat in Mt. Juliet and exceptional staff as well. Baby back ribs and chicken are the best! Alabama white sauce is the bomb if your doing keto or low carb. Always a fantastic experience!

Came here with friends as I’m from out of town. We have a great bbq place in Ft. Wayne and this is very comparable. The brisket was fantastic!

The brisket was melt in your mouth good. Our only disappointment was that they were out of strawberry shortcake!

I like it but time night they food to no bake patatos no chicken no pork I had to eat wings I had eat chicken alday but it is good eatting
