Yall this restaurant is amazing. Im from KC and I’d consider myself a bit of a BBQ expert … let me just say WOW! Everything was great! So tasty! Definitely recommend the brisket! PS the portions are huge! We didn’t have to wait to be seated but it was a full house tonight. The staff was friendly and attentive. We’ll probably stop back in again before we leave town!

Thatcher’s Barbecue & Grill absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment the food hit the table, you could tell they don’t believe in small portions they serve generous, hearty plates that truly give you your money’s worth. Every tray was loaded, and nothing felt skimpy or rushed.
The meat was the real standout. It was incredibly tender the kind of fall-off-the-bone barbecue that doesn’t even need a knife. Each bite was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly smoked with that rich, slow-cooked depth you hope for when you order true Southern BBQ. You can tell the meat is cooked low and slow with care and experience.
The sides complemented everything perfectly, and the portions were just as generous as the main dish. You leave completely satisfied not just full, but impressed.
If you’re looking for authentic barbecue with massive portions and melt-in-your-mouth meat, Thatcher’s is a must-visit. I’ll absolutely be back.

We visited on a Saturday night in September and were seated immediately. All of the waitresses were extremely nice. Our waitress Emily was awesome! I tried a platter that included ribs, brisket, pulled pork, fried okra, macaroni and cheese and baked beans with Texas toast and a sweet tea. There was not a single bad thing I put in my mouth. I absolutely fell in love with their Carolina gold barbecue sauce. Emily was sweet enough to give us two bags with each of their three kinds of barbecue sauce in the bags to take with our leftovers. My mom had a half size salad with pulled pork on top, homemade croutons and homemade ranch dressing. It was also very good! The prices were phenomenal and I had enough leftovers for two more meals. This is a gem of a restaurant in downtown Trenton. I highly recommend Thatcher’s BBQ and we will be back next time we are on vacation in the area.

Do not miss this place if you’re anywhere near Cloudland Canyon or Trenton. Amazing BBQ, super friendly staff, and conveniently located. You can’t go wrong with anything you pick. We started with some nachos that were perfectly dressed, finished with some ribs, and took a sandwich for later. Absolutely delicious!

We were in town for my wife’s birthday at the KOA. During my search of restaurants in Trenton, we decided on Thatcher’s BBQ and Grille. It was a great choice. We ordered the “Smoke – A – Holic Platter”, which included samples of smoked chicken, pulled pork, spicy smoke sausage, brisket, ribs, and your choice of three sides. We had slaw, fries, fried pickles, and baked beans. All the meats were flavorful, moist, and tender. The sides were great as well. The three sauces are so good, I bought a quart of each one. They have some awesome new menu items. So, I had to taste the ” Smokin Pastrami on Pumpernickel with gouda”. Yummy! I highly recommend Thatcher’s. Thanks Josh for your professionalism and knowledge of the menu.

We stopped here totally randomly on our drive from Birmingham to Chattanooga and WOW—what an unexpected gem!
We started with the brisket bites and they were incredible. Loved the pickles and the white sauce with it! My husband got the 1/2 rack with mac & cheese (easily a 12/10!) and creamed corn. The creamed corn was packed with flavor—not bland like some places.
I had the Smokin’ Reuben and it was perfection. The smoked flavor was spot on and the house-made Thousand Island was fantastic. We ended with the Oreo pudding which was the perfect balance of chocolate and vanilla.
Highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back. Our server Josh was great also!

The biggest problem here is deciding what to order! Great menu, and the food is delicious! Portions are HUGE and prices are very good. A friend and I stopped for a late lunch (1:00) and had to wait about 10 min for a seat. This place is popular with the locals. They have carry-out as well. Highly recommended!

We got the chips and queso and they were the BEST chips and queso I ever had! I also got the chicken nachos…. I would say they lack flavor, need pickled jalapeños and maybe better seasoned chicken. It just tasted kinda plain. I’m glad I added red onions because it did help! Overall very good!
