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.

Big roadhouse-style eatery known for its whole-hog pit-fired BBQ, with chicken, tacos & burgers.

Average 100%. The ribs were really tough and were not bite off the bone but really had to gnaw at it. Flavor of the rub was almost absent, …

We wanted to avoid the line so we stopped by this place instead of the 4th Ave location.

Brisket- we forgot to order extra moist so it was dried.

Ribs – flavorful but on the salty side, and on the dried side.

Pulled pork – was alright. soft and tender

Sides:
Mac N cheese- not bad

Baked beans – ok

Green beans – it was good so I thought it was homemade. Then I noticed the cans at the front entrance on our way out.

Desserts:
Pecan pie – delicious. Not overly sweet like all other Pecan pies I have tried.

Brownie cake – dried and chewy. Not recommended.

Some of the best BBQ I’ve had outside of Texas. All the meat we had was very flavorful and well seasoned. The brisket was a tad over done to my liking, but I know that’s personal preference. The ribs were very tasty as well, and cooked just the way I like it. To me, the standout was the sausage. The sauces we had were all good, but the standout was the one that came with our brisket. It was thicker than the one on the table, but very vinegar based. Big fan of that. We’ll absolutely be going again.
The pulled pork we took home because we ordered too much.

Overall we were pleased with our meal.

We got the ribs – half dry, half wet – and the jalapeno cheddar sausage as mains. The dry rub ribs weren’t very good, but the sauced ones were. They also gave us a few more ribs than we ordered. The sausage was great – nice ratio of the jalapenos and cheddar within each link.

As far as the sides go, the mac n cheese was outstanding. The hush puppies were good too; they’re a great addition to a BBQ place’s menu.

Staff were friendly. Not too busy on a Saturday night.

We ordered a tray of brisket and a patty burger with the farmer’s salad. The food was delicious. I really enjoyed the flavor, though my son thought it was a bit too flavorful. We both agreed the cheese was outstanding—surprisingly unique and far better than typical store-bought varieties.

As for the brisket, while it was good, I’ve had much better in Chicago.

We dined at one of their locations that had ample parking and a peaceful atmosphere. The interior isn’t fancy—more of an old-school setup with simple wood and metal tables and chairs.

The staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall, highly recommended.

If you want authentic Nashville barbecue, Martin’s is the place to go. A friend of mine who was born and raised here recommended it, and I’m glad we went. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful, and my husband said the ribs alone were worth the trip. The food is definitely heavy, so just be aware, and while I thought the sides were only okay, the barbecue itself is absolutely legendary.

Amazing BBQ for very fair prices. The vibe of the building is great and staff is very friendly. We really loved eating here and would love to come back when we are in Nashville.

Awesome BBQ spot. Had to get some in Nashville and Martin’s did not disappoint. Everything we ate was delicious. My favourites were the ribs which just fell off the bone, as well as the mac and cheese which was delicious.

Tons of seating available in the joint, you line up to place your order, take your seat and the food is brought to you. Place also had cheap beers too which was nice. The house BBQ sauce is delicious but is a bit runny. One of the guys in our group liked it so much he got a bottle to take home.

Self service. We order and then sit down. They bring out the ribs. We tried one dry rub and one wet. Both were delicious and very soft. Falling off the bone. We also had the nachos with everything on it.

We came to this location after trying to visit another location on a Friday night because the previous location didn’t have anything left. The staff were so friendly and helpful, they have a full bar with some strong drinks. We got some brisket, chicken, sausage, pulled pork, they ran out of ribs. For sides we got cornbread pancake, broccoli, mac and cheese. I really
Liked the broccoli. We also got the pecan pie and the fudge pie. We devoured our meal and there was plenty of seating. This spot is in more of a residential area so less touristy.

I chose this for the reviews but it was terrible. Very dry ribs, part like jerky. Bland mac & cheese. I love BBQ and thought Nashville would be something special.
