Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint

Social Profile:

West Tennessee’s legendary whole-hog BBQ tradition is the cornerstone of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint. Pat Martin learned the art and craft of West Tennessee-style smoke and meat 25 years ago in the tiny town of Henderson, TN before making Nashville his home. It became a consuming passion that eventually led to a business when he opened the first Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint in October of 2006 in Nolensville, Tennessee – just south of Nashville. We come in at 5 am, every day, seven days a week. From the sides to the sauces, everything is made from scratch every single day – You’ll never find a freezer or microwave in our kitchens. But the bar-b-que actually starts a day ahead, as the process for smoking whole hogs simply can’t be rushed.

A pit for cooking entire pigs dominates the homey dining room at this popular BBQ emporium.

Exceptional customer service from the Nolensville location, I would give it a 10!!!! there was an issue with my catering order that I picked up the day before Thanksgiving, it was immediately acknowledged on line and quickly corrected in person. Brian delivered another order to my home that evening at no charge. Everyone raved about the smoked meat on Turkey Day!!!!

Ate here Sunday after church. I had brisket tacos, salad and coleslaw. Restaurant was a bit chilly. Cashier was nice. Food a bit expensive.

Very fun atmosphere, great staff, good service.

I was excited to dive into some BBQ so tried a good variety. My favorite might be the brisket or the wings. I wasn’t as much of a fan of the dry rub vs. sauced overall. Ribs were good as well, decent mac. The hoecake was a bit odd and slightly burnt in flavor. Last, the pulled pork nachos was the weakest dish, very wet and got soggy on the bottom (I’d recommend they put it over a grill of some kind if they add that much wet stuff to it).

Had the Big Ole Smoked Bologna with Baked Beans and the Redneck Taco with smoked chicken and Fries.

Everything was absolutely excellent! We ate at the bar and the bartender was so very sweet. The beer selection offered many local craft options. The food was out of this world. Best bologna sandwich and baked beans I’ve ever had. Definitely visiting again!

I mean…. TN BBQ. It’s great. It’s not exactly a healthy choice, but definitely worth a visit every once in a while. I enjoy coming here with my bud after a long music recording session. I’ve even ran into my guitar hero, Tommy Emmanuel, here at this spot! Enjoyed a lunch together that I’ll never forget! Parking isn’t alway easy, but worth the walk to it, if you have to park further down the road.
I do miss that they don’t serve baby backs anymore, but always find something good to eat.

The service was very nice!
It‘s a nice looking place and you feel comfortable eating there.
As for the food – it was rather disappointing. The rips were barely warm, the brisket wasn’t warm either. I mean really it was cold… the nachos with pulled pork had hardly any pork, I would have expected more meat.
The taste itself was okay. But it really should have arrived hot! It didn’t arrive cold just to clarify it was ‚warm‘ but like cold within 5min.
They respected the extra wish to leave out cheese for the nachos, that was nice
Also again, great service!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars for Brody at Martin’s BBQ (Nolensville, TN)!
​I absolutely have to shout out Brody at the Martin’s BBQ location in Nolensville.

Brody embodies that classic Southern hospitality. He’s always ready with a massive smile, great energy, and is incredibly helpful with recommendations. Whether it’s guiding me to the perfect side dish or ensuring my to-go order is packed perfectly and quickly, he’s efficient and genuinely welcoming. He really makes you feel appreciated when you walk in the door.
​It’s people like Brody that turn a great barbecue meal into a memorable local experience. If you’re visiting the Nolensville spot for some famous whole hog, make sure to say hi to Brody—he’s a huge asset to the team!
​Keep up the great work, Brody!

Went on Monday nite at dinner time 5:30 to 6:00 PM. Was told they were out of pork. Really? Out of pork? At 5:30 or 6:00. Then the place was so disgustingly filthy. Had to clean our own table and stood on an order of fries with ketchup that was spilled under our table and was never cleaned up. The whole place was dirty and gross. Not interested in going back there as what food we did get was average or below average at best. Much better options for bbq in the Nashville area for sure.

Great atmosphere, great staff, and great food. Smoked bologna sandwich was outstanding and my wife’s pulled pork sandwich was superb. Excellent vinegar based sauce available on the table. Friendly staff, too.

Come in & give this place a whirl.

I was in town for an event the first week of November and we hsd Martin’s catered. The food was AWESOME – such good BBQ (brisket, pulled pork) Mac and cheese, banana pudding and sll the other fixings. I live in Colorado and we do not have food like this out here – I missed southern BBQ and this hit the spot!

But what really msde it all so great were the two caterers, Jackie and Peyton, who showed up to the venue early, set things up so quickly, served us with warmth and a smile, and we’re just so so very kind. I loved chatting with them and working to get our soace set up, they were delightful. I pray someone sees this and gives them proper recognition & reward for a GREAT job! They earned it. 10/10, if you need BBQ catered, do Martin’s.
