At Rick’s Barbeque, we believe in doing things the right way—slow-smoked meats, handcrafted sides, and friendly service that feels like home. Since the beginning, our focus has been on real flavor, faith-driven values, and supporting the communities we serve across Tennessee and Alabama. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or feeding the whole family, you’ll always find quality food made fresh daily and a team that treats you like one of their own. Rick’s is proud to be closed on Sundays so our team can rest, worship, and spend time with family—because people come first, always. From our hickory-smoked pork and signature sauces to our classic loaded potatoes, every meal is made with care and rooted in Southern tradition.

My wife and I decided to try this place out, for our date night. Thought it would be a full service kinda restaurant. However it’s more like a “fast food” style restaurant. I will say the food was very good and was ready and brought to us within just a few minutes. The staff was super friendly and everything overall was a good experience. It wasn’t all that expensive. We spent about $30. I give it an 8/10.

Ordered #7 combo NO SOUR CREAM
I don’t understand why this specific location has an issue with putting sour cream on our food when we have stated we do NOT want it. At this point, its being done intentionally.
I come here at least twice a week and order the loaded potato combo with tenders and a large drink. I order it the same way every time NO SOUR CREAM. This is the second time I have ordered it and they included SOUR CREAM. Receipt is correct. Amount charged is correct. Order is incorrect. Disappointed to say the least.

I thought this was a full service restaurant but you order at the counter and they bring the food. Bathroom and restaurant was clean, and the drink station had a good variety. Fruit Tea is DELICIOUS! The food was cold, and taste bland. Chicken was tender but a little dry. Potato salad was ok, Mozzarella sticks and ice cream was good. Overall the quality was Not as good as I thought it would be. Bland!!

I ordered a slab of ribs, pint of potato salad, cobbler and a large cup of ice. I received half a slab of ribs with end pieces put together to try and make the other half up. The potato salad and cobbler were correct. My biggest issue with this order is that I paid you $0.50 for a large cup of ice. You give me a cup of that’s 75% full and has black marks inside of the cup as if the ink design from another cup transferred into it. There’s no excuse for this. You can take 2 seconds to look inside the cup before putting anything in it. And there’s no reason AT ALL to charge us for a cup of ice and not fill it ALL THE WAY UP. Im spending almost $40 on my order and you mean to tell me you cheated me out of half a slab of ribs AND my ICE???? Im more upset about the ice than anything because Sonic is nearby. I could have gone there and gotten a large cup of ice without trouble.
And since when did Ricks stop giving out the complementary wet wipes when we order a slab of ribs with sides?? The service overall has gone downhill. The employees don’t have bad attitudes but their service skills- making the food look presentable, not handing us food containers that have food spilled on or, napkins, putting our slabs of ribs in the foil containers has declined. Even when taking our orders, we are rushed and details are skipped. Had i not stopped the person taking my orders, he was going to skip past if i wanted bbq sauce for a full slab of ribs.

Good food but came out very late. It was cold. Funny thing, if you don’t leave a tip at the register, it just might be a factor in how quick your food comes out. 2 parties after us – with larger orders – added a tip and got their food before us.
News flash to Ricks GenZ employees: a tip is traditionally a “thank you” for good service by a WAITER OR WAITRESS whose hourly pay is well below minimum wage. It’s not a freebie bonus to cashiers or cooks. Tips come at the END of the meal when the customer determines how courteous and professional the service was.

Rick’s was recommended by a friend from Lawrenceburg as a must visit while camping at David Crockett State Park. For a Thursday night they were quite busy. I can see why it’s a local favorite. The meats we ordered were great, smoked well and not over done. The sides were good / OK. The baked potato salad was tasty. The mustard slaw is different, kinda spicy, it would be great on a hot dog, it almost had a hint of sauerkraut.
The portion size was commensurate with the price. The only knock I have is a personal preference; I love baked beans and just want some meat cooked in with them. They were tasty though but not a unique stand out item like the spicy slaw or loaded baked potatoes.
Bottom line is if I lived in Lawrenceburg I would be a regular customer.

The place was recommended by family. It is a bbq restaurant. The big potatoes are a favorite with locals and so i had to have one. A chain restaurant i was told.
The potatoes here are big, really big. They have 5 diferent types to choose. They had plain, beef and other kinds. I chosed the pork one. It is a loaded big potato with everything a loaded potato has plus pork. It was delicious. My potato came with a sauce. I picked the white sauce. It tasted a little like ranch. My potato was perfect.
Its a restaurant where you place your order and pay . You sit and the food is brought to you.
