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.
Eatery where BBQ sandwiches & platters share the menu with loaded baked potatoes, salads & desserts.

Excellent. A waitress explained the menu board with real enthusiasm. Everyone was nice in a natural honest way.
The facility is clean, neat and modern.
I had smoked chicken wing plate, with potato salad, mustard slaw, toast, a drink, and a side order of pulled brisket. Big pile of food for right at $20.
Chicken wings were smoked “fall off the bone” tender, served naked so you could add sauce to your taste. So, not your traditional wings, but they were really really good.
Potato salad was normal.
Mustard slaw was interesting, but be advised it is SPICY.
Overall, outstanding food and value per dollar.

Was in from out of town for a conference and decided to try it on my way out heading back home.
Ordered the pork sandwich combo with mayo (I do not recommend…go with regular sauce), seasoned fries and a sweet tea. I have had tons of barbecue and my grandfather was a pitmaster and this was mediocre at best.
The sandwich itself was cold so theres no telling how long it had been sitting out and so were the fries and it was a busy Saturday night.
Quite disappointed.

First time at Rick’s. Tried the half slab oif ribs with sides of green beans and baked potato salad. My wife had the loaded baked potato with chicken strips chopped on top. She said it was very good.
Sides were ok but not special. My ribs had a good flavor and you could tell they got a good smoke. They were a bit dry on the edges and fell of the bone far too readily. I tried the Rick’s sauce which seemed to be a variation of an Alabama white sauce. It was ok, but I preferred the hot bbq sauce which was vinegary but not overwhelmingly so they had a mild sauce as well which I did not try.
Overall it was a good meal and a good value.

This is the nicest person! I accidentally ordered for pickup instead of delivery on DoorDash and he picked up the phone and offered to drive my order over. I will definitely be a loyal returning customer. 1000x thank you so much! I hope business there goes well and I hope you get a raise!

We love Rick’s! We come at least once a week, it’s so good! Very reasonable prices and a lot of choices. My daughter and I are hooked on the wraps!

The food was okay, nothing to brag about. Had a good variety of different things to choose from. Place was very clean. The kids working there were very polite & noticed hubby had on a military hat & the boy checking us out asked if he wanted a veteran discount so we got 10% off. The food was very reasonably priced even without our discount.

Stopped here around 8:45 and ordered a loaded potato combo, 4 tenders, and a large Dr Pepper. After I pulled around I paid and was handed a Dr Pepper that was spilled on the outside of the cup. Very sloppy but no one is surprised. The surprise is I sat there for about 10 minutes waiting for my food. While Im waiting I can see the employees playing and laughing. One guy is standing there talking to a heavy set female while he waves a black styrofoam plate back and forth. He stops for a minute, appears to batter up food on the same plate he was just waving freely in the air. Then the girl that originally took my order walks over to the window and tells me to pull up because the tenders will be fresh and that there are 2 more cars after me- as if im the reason they are waiting.
They were waiting because the employees stood there and talked, laughed, and played instead of dropping the tenders when the order was originally placed. They were waiting just like I waited. Im not understanding the emphasis on those customers WAITING being more important than me WAITING for the same SERVICE and FOOD that those customers paid to have- just like I did. My food wasn’t free. And this wasn’t a discounted service or meal.
After telling the employee I would wait she became visibly angry and stormed over to the same heavy set lady that was standing and talking with the male employee that was supposed to be cooking my tenders. She walks up to the window repeating the same nonsense about me pulling up. When I asked her if the guy that was playing around with the black styrofoam plate was cooking my food she said YES. When I told her to just give me the loaded potato, suddenly there’s a change in price.
Ive included a pic of their loaded potato and both receipts. I ordered the $8.99 combo and upgraded to a large. Because he was standing there playing over my food and I didn’t want it- I was charged $6.99 for a loaded potato and separately for a large drink ($2.59). According to their logic, 4 chicken tenders is worth $0.12 or either I was supposed to accept the unprofessional guy literally waving the plate in the air then battering my food up on it. If she is supposed to be a manager she can’t say she didn’t see him playing with the plate. They were facing each other while talking and laughing.
I hope the owners review their cameras and policies so that this is the last time this happens. Review your cameras from 4/12/25 8:45pm until 8:54pm and tell me would you have accepted food presented to you under those same circumstances. Also review how I was charged for their issues. They need to be held accountable including the supposed to be manager.
By the way, the loaded baked potato normally is good and the butter comes in small containers where you can add as much/little as you prefer. This loaded potato was drenched in butter. Im not interested in having heart disease. The dr pepper taste like it was made or is stored near vegetable oil. The flavor isn’t normal at all. The best part about this meal was the ice.

Very friendly atmosphere with the personnel there. Food has been very good for the times I been there. Their restaurant inspection shows a score “99”. You can look at the pictures to see why. Even the windows were clean too. Good job Rick’s!!!

Me and my wife ate here on vacation in the area. I had the beef sandwich (which came with fries, less than $10) and my wife had the potato skins, which I believe was less than $10 as well. We both enjoyed our meals, service was quite friendly and good, even had an employee talk with us on his way to break as we headed back to our vehicle. Definitely go by there! Now it is the next day as I write this and I can still almost taste the moist, smoky/seasoned beef in my sandwich !

One of my favorite spots to bring home family dinner from. The fries and green beans are my favorite but I don’t dislike anything. And their breakfast is great.
