Tried this restaurant for the first time and we were not disappointed! There was a wait, but it was worth it. We tried the fried BBQ bologna bites and deviled eggs as appetizers. Outstanding! The bbq beans, fries, fried okra, and onion ring sides were excellent. Pulled pork and brisket platters were hearty and tasty. Our son had the Mac attack burger and gave it an A+. Mixed drinks and beers were met with approval and shared a skillet cookie with ice cream – delicious. Absolutely will return and highly recommend.

Great place. BBQ was delicious. I was hesitant after seeing some reviews and we decided to go anyway. We did have one of the same problems as other reviewers… My Mac and cheese was cold. Everything else was very good. Ribs we fall off the bone, perfect. The flavor of the pulled pork was amazing.
We got the bologna bites and they were very tasty. My 1 year old loved them (and the ribs!).
The deviled eggs were good, but did lack a little seasoning. Didn’t stop me from eating them though!
Very good experience and our server was great. Drinks stayed refilled and we were treated with top notch customer service.

Got the chips and blue cheese dip as apetizer and the chips are homemade potato chips. Got the pulled chicken sandwich, its chunky not shredded, but still good. The bun is grilled and the homemade fries are good. Great atmosphere and the tables and walls are uniquely made from recycled wine barrels. Yiu may have to wait but its worth it. We will be back.

One of my favorite places downtown! Great food, nice portions & friendly staff. I have not been disappointed with anything I’ve tried. One of my favorites is the bbq nachos – try them on the house chips.
For a lighter meal, try the dinner salad w/grilled chicken.

They do a fantastic old fashioned and the barbecue smells AMAZING. If we hadn’t already eaten, I would’ve taken care of business on the barbecue. The place is so much nicer on the inside than the outside would lead you to believe. If you’re thinking of trying a place in the area, put this one at the top of your list. Good music, friendly staff, and good drinks!

First time visiting, I will say our server was amazing! She was very attentive and friendly! The atmosphere is so cool love the decor. My only complaint about the atmosphere is it was absolutely freezing in there. Now on to the food. We were both very disappointed in it especially after reading the reviews. I had the smoked sausage to be honest it was like eating mush! It was so soft and luke warm at best. My mac n cheese was pretty good but again very cold as well as the cooked apples. My wife had the chicken wings and onion rings unfortunately the wings in her opinion and mine were very rubbery and cold! The onion rings had a nice taste but again cold.

Amazing place! Unique cocktails with an extensive Bourbon collection and micro brews on tap. We’re eaten here several times. The brisket is the best, melt-in-your mouth delicious meat ever! The high quality steaks are wonderful. The sirloin was as good as a filet mignon and the seasoned butter was a bonus! Great onion rings and salads, too! If you’re mouth is watering, this is the place for you!

Food was phenomenal. Everything ordered was delicious and spot on in taste. Husband ordered a salad with chicken and He said it was delicious right down to the honey mustard dressing. I had a burger with bacon and macaroni with a side of fries and I have to say that along with their barbecue sauce it was one of the best burgers I ever had.

This was my first time in Kingsport, I was here for the day for work.
Kingsport is very charming!
The restraunt got overwhelmed with a large to go order, short staffed front and back of the house so the service was slooow.
The atmosphere was cozy, warm, dark and nice.
I had Brisket, pulled pork, baked beans, coleslaw and it came w a small honey covered piece of corn bread. The sides were VERY good, the BBQ was good, solid, not great.
My buddy got Brisket and BBQ Bologna chunks which were fun, good, and different!
The value for this meal was shockingly great!
I will definetly be back!
