Archers BBQ was founded in 2010 by Memphis native, Archer Bagley. Archers BBQ serves only the finest hand pulled, or sliced, to order pork, chicken, beef brisket, and baby back ribs. All the meats at Archers BBQ are dry rubbed and hickory smoked, just as it’s done in Memphis, TN. Archer’s BBQ’s menu contains only the highest quality, scratch made sides. Made with the kind of passion that you should expect from a true BBQ restaurant. This passion for BBQ, coupled with the right attitude toward delivering quality all the time, has allowed Archer’s BBQ to open four locations across Knoxville since its inception.
Archers BBQ has a mostly Gluten Free menu and knows how to properly accommodate allergies.
Local BBQ chain serving ribs, plates, sandwiches & comfort sides in a relaxed setting.

The best BBQ I’ve tried in Knoxville! Love their sauces (and BBQ is all about the sauce). Their sides are all great too. The potato salad is amazing you’ll want to eat a tub of it as an entree. Both this location and the location towards Farragut don’t look like much from the outside, but man the food is excellent. I have to stop from gorging myself/drowning in KC sauce whenever I go to Archer’s.

Wow! just wow. I enjoyed this place so much. Their service and food are hall of fame worthy. I had a pork BBQ sandwich with red sauce and a side. I had to try their banana pudding. It was melt in my mouth delicious Go try this one-of-a-kind place. It needs to be on Triple D tv series.

Smoked meat was overdone, mushy. Didn’t care for any of the sauces. All sweet. Even the mustard. However! Staff was very nice, and sides were mediocre.

Best BBQ we’ve had in a long time and the sides are amazeballs! The green beans are cooked with beef brisket I think. The slaw and loaded potato salad were amazing! The price is great for the size of helping ! Thanks guys!

My first time trying Archers BBQ and I have to say the potato salad was great but everything else was pretty bad. Pulled pork, mac&cheese, greens and greenbeans plus buns I can’t and will not eat, file 13. Spent about $90 with doordash charges. I wanted something different and I guess I got it. First time last time

Really good BBQ, good serving size, and several choices of sauce. I would absolutely give the find a 5 for taste, but it needs to come out hot. Other than that, it was great. I am going back.

This place has a great vibe! Set up in the reception of an old motel on Kingston Pike, it is very relaxed but super clean and sunny. The BBQ is delicious with a choice of 6 sauces!!

A solid BBQ joint! The smoked meat was on point! There was a variety of southern sides to pick from and…can we just sit back appreciate the sauce selection?! Nicely done.
