Best potato salad I’ve had in Franklin! Excellent value for money and good food. We got the family pack with a couple extra sides a couple times during the holiday season to feed 4-6 adults and 2 children- though I suggest ordering a bit more meat.

The person who helped me was great. Food was awesome and really reasonably priced for BBQ these days. Will absolutely be back.

This is actually a drive thru type restaurant. No interior seating.
Got the pulled pork and rib plate with baked beans and coleslaw.
Ribs were overcooked and dry. Pulled pork was okay, nothing great. Coleslaw was bland. Baked beans were pretty good. Both side dishes were on the small side. Cornbread was the sweet variety, which I detest, and very dry.
One and done for me. Cannot recommend this place.

I wanted this to be a good experience. I believe in the roadside shack with amazing food. I have experienced it. But this place is not that. From the guy on the phone who struggled to take my order to the very dry food that left us unable to eat the entire meal, I can not recommend this place. The guy at the pick up window was nice enough and they did get our order correct, but the food quality was poor. We spent $60 to sample a variety of meats and sides and I can not recommend a single thing. There has to be better bbq in Franklin.

While in town for a baseball tournament I asked the front desk for a recommendation for “good local barbecue, the kind of place your manager will fire you for recommending”. BB’s is where we ended up going and we weren’t disappointed. Warning, I’m fairly certain that it’s drive thru only.
My son got a pulled pork sandwich combo with chips and a drink and I got a pork and ribs platter with corn, baked beans, & cornbread.
The flavor in their pulled pork is perfect. The texture of the meat is excellent with enough chew to let you know you’re eating pork, but it was juicy and fell apart nicely.
The ribs were next level excellent! It’s been years since I have been able to achieve such perfection in rib smoking! The meat was tender and fell off of the bone, yet was not over cooked to the point it falls apart. The bark was delicious and full of that smokey bbq flavor good ribs should deliver.
Their white sauce and mild sauce are both very good. I’ve never had a white sauce that I liked and this one has a dimension to it I cannot describe… other than to say it’s very good and I’ll definitely try it again. For a bbq connoisseur who doesn’t care for white sauce, that’s a huge compliment.
Generally speaking their sides were good. I was not a fan of their corn. Perhaps the perfection of the meats had me expecting more, but the corn was just meh.
I enjoyed their baked beans, but I make an incredible baked beans, so the standard is exceptionally high and, well, not realistically attainable by most food purveyors.
My son really enjoyed their mac and cheese. He gave me a bite and I would say it was good. Lots of cheese and perhaps cottage cheese to round out the creaminess.
I’d say the biggest disappointment was the corn bread. I found it dry. Perhaps that’s a local thing, but I like my corn bread moist and crumbly like a good cup cake. This corn bread is good for slicing. I’d bet it would make for excellent corn bread French toast. Lacking a bunch of butter and maple syrup, I just couldn’t figure out how to eat the corn bread and be satisfied with the calories.
The staff was great! I don’t know if we ordered from the owner or an employee, but they were helpful making selections and genuinely happy to serve us.
I felt like I was robbing them because the two meals were so cheap. $25 for more food than the two of us could eat! I would pay $40 for these two meals at a good bbq trailer back home.
This was an excellent experience and my son has already said that the next time we are in Nashville, he wants to make sure we get BB’s. I’m in full agreement!
Atmosphere 5 – if you’re expecting a well kept neat and tidy building and lot, well it’s a zero to you… but that’s not what bbq is about. It’s rough. You’ll see plenty of weeds around and, well, a parched together trailer looking building for a drive thru restaurant. Bbq perfection in my book.
Service 5 – helpful , honest, and quick. I could not ask for more.
Corn bread – 3 dry to me. Serviceable if you must have it but definitely not something I’m coming back for.
Baked beans – 4 good, but not mine and not memorable.
Corn – 2.5 not exciting at all. The corn wasn’t even sweet. It’s just not worth the calories and carbs in my book.
Mac & Cheese – 4 it’s very good if you’re into mac & cheese. I’m not driving 30 minutes for it, but it’s good.
Pulled pork – 5 hella good says my son, and I concur.
Ribs – 5 next level excellent! I didn’t even offer my son a taste and I’d drive an hour for these ribs!
Thanks for the great food BB’s. We look forward to visiting again the next time we’re in Nashville!

Drove by on my way to an appointment so I stopped on my way back.
It’s a tiny drive through only BBQ hut and the smell coming from it made me drool.
I got a brisket baked potato with cheddar, butter and White Alabama BBQ sauce.
I was so stoked to get it and the gentleman at the window told me “if you think it smells good wait til you wrap your mouth around it” and it was amazing. The brisket was smoky with a great bark and it was the right amount of cheese and butter.
Here’s the breakdown:
Cool little roadside shack +1 star; smell of BBQ +1 star; super friendly staff +1 star; amazing brisket +1 star; yum Alabama BBQ sauce +1 star.
I will, for sure, go back.

I got the smoked bologna sandwich and the pulled pork plate. The bologna sandwich was awesome. The pulled pork plate was good. The only drawbacks were the slaw and the cornbread (called litebread on the menu). The slaw was average at best. The cornbread was tasty but dry.

Hit or miss. Sometimes the food is good. This time the ribs and chicken were overdone. Veggie portions have been decreased to the size of a tablespoon. Cornbread was dry and fell into crumbles as soon as you picked it up.

I work for Williamson EMS and it’s always a struggle to find good food in shift around here. Working with another medic who’s not my normal partner mentioned grabbing BB’s and of course I said yes. First time trying them today and have to say this is the best da*n BBQ this side of the Mississippi. 10000% will be back

So good!!! Was visiting the area and wanted to try something local for dinner that would be quick. My family was all very pleased with the food – real down home barbeque with a unique, spicy, extra smokey flavor. The service was very friendly and super quick. Just awesome!
