JM from White House
Good establishment here. Stopped in for lunch while down from Nashville and found this place on Google. Not sure about parking. Got the last spot on the street but not sure what other parking options are available. Got seated right away and server was quick and friendly. Place has that old building charm to it along with nice decor. Restrooms are spacious and clean. Menu is very diverse. Saw multiple items I wanted to try but settled on Loaded BBQ Nachos. See picture. Order came out quick and staff kept Tea refills coming. They also set me up with a to-go Tea for the road. I really liked the nachos, especially when I added the mild and hot sauces on the table… which I take it are homemade. With tax… total was $18.64. Not bad at all for the quantity and quality of the meal. I would easily stop by here next time I’m in the area and would recommend the anyone looking for a good BBQ joint-style meal.

If you’re looking for a local dive bar / restaurant with amazing food and service this is your place. John was the most helpful with local microbrewery choices. He was very kind and knowledgeable and his love for his job was evident. The food was surprisingly delicious. I loved that they had local / farmers market veges on the menu. This is a family friendly spot on the square in McMinnville.

First visit today and definitely will not be the last here! Service was incredible, everybody was super friendly and welcoming! Extra patient with me as I’m from the UK – the food was incredible, nachos were piled high with goodies and not one was soggy! The trio sampler platter could easily feed 3 instead of 2 due to the quantity of the meat! The quality is incredible and there is a lot to choose from on the menu! The blackberry cobbler was incredible – highly recommend!!

Can’t wait to come back again – the decor alone was also so incredible to look at – never mind all the good food! Thank you again guys!

10 stars ! From the moment I stepped in, everything was perfect! Eli was so informative, taking the time to explain the different entrees and he was spot on with assisting in my choice of fried WALLEYE ! Amazing! Definitely coming back !

Came here with a buddy for lunch. Solid little spot. Cool vibe inside. Service is a little slow, but the experience is very enjoyable. Everyone is friendly. The fried green tomatoes were really good. The bbq sauce in the shorter bottle is also excellent. Prices are on the higher side, appetizers are $10+, but it’s worth the money. I’d definitely come again and try some other stuff.

Atmosphere is very nice. Turkey and dressing with greens was not good. Turkey did not taste smoked at all, dressing was boxed similar to stovetop and greens tasted from a can. My friend said the wings were good but I didn’t try it. Probably won’t return.

We have found a new favorite place to eat BBQ! The staff are anxious to serve you and the food is exceptional. Large portions and fair prices. Just the down home atmosphere to welcome you in.

Collin’s BBQ is hands down the best BBQ I’ve ever had! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with true southern hospitality—Jim made us feel right at home, and his kindness left a lasting impression.

I ordered the sliced brisket, fried okra, and the loaded potato salad (which was absolutely to die for). Everything was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. My boyfriend had the Cuban sandwich, and it left him completely speechless—it was that good! He wasn’t the biggest fan of the coleslaw, but the cornbread more than made up for it—soft, buttery, and a true taste of the South.

If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop at Collin’s BBQ. Between the incredible food and the warm hospitality, it’s an experience you won’t forget!

Great service. Very friendly workers and provided suggestions on food and drinks. Jim was especially welcoming and knowledgeable about draft beer recommendations.

I ordered the hot buffalo wings and they were the perfect level of spice and not drowning in cheap sauce like many others. They were smoky, crispy, and had some good heat. The platter was good, the loaded potato salad was great and seasoned well. The coleslaw was nostalgic classic coleslaw, also not drowning in dressing.

Overall great small town restaurant atmosphere with good food and drinks.

Busy we sat at the small bar area.
Waitress was not helpful tried to ask couple questions as our first time visiting. She didn’t really seem to care to answer or understand what asking about beers as we didn’t know where to find the different kinds, the couple next to us had to tell us. Waitress never mentioned bottles beers. Ordered queso loaded fries came out without the queso. Pork was ok but to me it was mushy/soggy. The Mac cheese was bad very dry all stuck together, all could taste was believe paprika, can see from my pic didn’t even look good. Catfish was very good. Hushpuppies good. The gentleman they kept stopping to check us was very nice and helpful, he deserved the tip.
