Southern Craft BBQ in Bristol delivers a warm and inviting rustic atmosphere that immediately captures the spirit of authentic Southern dining. The interior design and overall vibe create a comfortable setting that complements the style of food perfectly.
The pulled pork sandwich showcased rich, smoky flavor and tender meat, with a variety of sauces that allowed for a personal touch. The only drawback was the bun, which became soggy not long after serving despite being toasted. Still, the overall flavor and portion size made the dish memorable.
Service was courteous but limited, as our waiter was only present to take the order, deliver the meal, and provide the check. More attentiveness would have enhanced the experience.
Pricing was surprisingly reasonable, with a full meal for two totaling around 29 dollars. Considering the quality of the food and the atmosphere, Southern Craft BBQ offers excellent value.

Overall: ★★★★☆ (4/5) — A flavorful and well-priced dining experience worth revisiting.

We love the Manager here! She is awesome. We eat down here once a week and the food is amazing! If your food isn’t top of the line or they have a error in kitchen..she will make it right immediately! Amazing place! Stopped in again today and WOW..the Breakfast Bowl is absolutely the BEST around!! Great Job guys!

Wonderful experience this evening for dinner. Got the Butcher Block so we could sample a little bit of everything, and it is a great value for the price. Meats were cooked to perfection. I would probably pass on the mac and cheese next time, it was a little bland. Fried pickles were to die for and the cornbread skillet was delicious! Chaz gave us impeccable service! We will definitely be back

So to start, we moved to the area last year. Southern Craft was the first restaurant we visited and we loved it! We visited weekly, brought friends and family when they were in town, and recommended to anyone curious. With that being said…
… We visited back in September and the service was non-existent. We were seated outside by the hostess and after waiting for a server for approximately half an hour I had to go back inside to request service. Apologies were made and the rest of our lunch was great!
We went back today with family from out of town. The restaurant seemed to have a lot of empty tables. We were seated outside again at our request. There was only one other occupied table outside. There were two or three tables that had not been cleaned up after the patrons had left. We sat for half an hour with zero service. A waitress walked by us to talk to the other table but ignored us completely. No water, no promise to be with us in a minute.
My wife and I both worked our way through college waiting tables. We get it when things are busy and we also know that a simple welcome comment and promise to return shortly can go a long ways. From what we could see, there were not a bunch of tables backed up. There was no sense of urgency and the general appearance of unbussed tables was unfortunate.
After the wait and no service, we left
Not sure what happened but we are bummed that our favorite spot isn’t that anymore. We will need a new spot to wow our visiting family.

During my stay at the Sessions Hotel, the enticing aroma of the smoking meats drew me to the restaurant for dinner one evening. I decided to sit at the bar, where the bartender was exceptionally helpful and friendly. The menu was filled with an array of intriguing and appetizing options, making it difficult to choose. Relying on the bartender’s recommendations turned out to be a fantastic decision, as her suggestions were spot on.
I wanted to sample a variety of their meats, and upon her recommendation, I ordered the three-meat platter which included wings, sausage, and brisket, accompanied by three sides: cole slaw, tomato & cucumber salad, and baked beans. The wings were outstanding—perfectly smoked and lightly fried for a crisp finish, with a flavorful rub. The spicy wing sauce, which I believe had a hint of apple, added a delightful sweetness that balanced the heat. The brisket had a wonderful bark and was both flavorful and moist. Although I am not fond of smokehouses that serve “hot dog” style sausages, I found the sausage here to be quite tasty.
The sides were equally impressive. The salad was packed with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and just the right amount of onion. The baked beans were exceptional, especially when enhanced with their Fire Water hot BBQ sauce. The cole slaw was also delicious, fitting perfectly with the BBQ theme.
Additionally, I enjoyed sampling their various sauces, including the Carolina vinegar style, which I usually don’t favor but found quite appealing here.
Overall, it was an excellent meal, and I would definitely return.

Do yourself a favor and treat you and yours to the best barbecue in Bristol. It appeared to be a renovated feed mill but so many neat things to see while just walking in and even when you’re sitting down. Nice clean restroom with full doors and the restaurant was very clean and played good music. Olivia was an absolute treat and took wonderful care of us. The kids meals are $6 for a pulled pork sandwich, a side, drink, and a cookie. It was a steal as neither one of my kids could finish their sandwich. The pulled pork tater tots were amazing for an appetizer. The sweat tea is A+ and the ribs were fall off the bone. Pork, brisket, and ribs were great…..as were the sides, mac and cheese, fries, house taters, baked beans, and coleslaw. You literally can’t go wrong here. I can’t imagine anywhere else in the area beating this place in best BBQ. A must see. We WILL be back! ❤️

My husband, friends, and I had a fantastic morning at Southern Craft! We snagged a table outside on the patio, and it was the perfect way to start the day. The manager was super friendly and knowledgeable, sharing guest favorites and helping us navigate the menu.
*The Food:*
– I devoured the banana pudding French toast – it was love at first bite! ️ The real banana slices, banana pudding, and nilla wafer crumbs were a match made in heaven.
– My husband’s hog and home fries were a highlight, with candied bacon, regular bacon, and smoked pork belly. The fire apple aioli on the side added a nice kick!
– The house-baked blackberry muffin was a showstopper – massive, moist, and topped with cream, honey butter, and blackberry jam. We all fought over the last bites!
*The Service:*
– Our server was top-notch – attentive, friendly, and made sure our drinks were always full.
*The Verdict:*
We’ll definitely be back for more of Southern Craft’s delicious breakfast dishes! If you’re a fan of creative, mouth-watering food and great service, add this spot to your list. Can’t wait to come back!
