Very cool space. Don't miss the upstairs bar/garden area! Food was really tasty. I had the Big Brother combo, which is brisket and ribs . A healthy amount of food.
Definitely try the brisket . Just get in line , order, then sit and wait for the food to come out. New favorite BBQ joint in Nashville.
The brisket was both juicy and flavorful, we got the sandwich and the fries . I recommend getting the sauce sampler with the fries , one of their sauces was mentioned on master of none by aziz ansari.
Everything here is good!! Ribs are outstanding and Sonia everything else I have tried on the menu. It takes time to make your way through, but dry ribs with slaw and baked beans is my favorite!
Centrally located, with delicious food. Portions are in European size, not that big at all. Big and spacious , great for groups and events . Even private room is available upstairs. Pork pull is great.
Yummy! Loved the spare ribs and wings with dry rub . Didn’t love the pulled pork as much but still good. Fried catfish was also surprisingly tasty. Great rub and sauces. Open seating without RSVPs.
I ordered the bbq ribs and chicken with sides of broccoli salad and green beans . The sides and chicken were okay. The ribs and the sauces though—spectacular! Definitely try all the sauces.
Brisket , fried bologna sandwich , and the best baked beans I have ever had. Get there for an early rush and you can order and eat right at the bar . Awesome place!
The staff here was absolutely amazing! This is a great spot to grab a quick and hearty lunch . I recommend the brisket tacos and a local draft !! Get there early the line gets pretty long!!
The turkey , Mac and cheese , and slaw were delicious! Hush puppies came with a sauce that had a great kick. Ambience is fabulous - laid back and relaxing.
Have to try Martins as it’s Nashville’s most famous bbq . The brisket was outstanding. The ribs leaves a little to be desired but the wings were heavenly.
Best BBQ (brisket falling apart in your mouth) and pretty decent outdoor music and beer scene. In love with this place! ????
If you’ve only got 1 BBQ spot while you’re in Nashville, check this out! The brisket was amazing.
Very good! Try the redneck tacos - good combination of cornbread , Cole slaw and BBQ ! Quick service and convenient location.
After the logistical mess in figuring out how to order, the food was very good. Therefore, it’s worth the drama. I had a pork BBQ sandwich . FANTASTIC!!!!
As a Texan, I'm peculiar in my BBQ . This TN BBQ joint made it feel like I was back home. The turkey wasn't as good as I had hope for. But the brisket was great.
Good bbq , the turkey was moist and the brisket was flavorful. Great atmosphere too!
Ribs with the local dry rub were falling off the bone good. Good atmosphere in the huge upstairs area too
Awesome place to play bar games , eat delicious smoked BBQ , and meet new people. Ask if you can see them smoking a whole hog !
Wish we had this in Sacramento! There's ping pong , darts , shuffle board , BBQ , and beer . Great atmosphere?
Excellent brisket , chicken and sauces. I'd skip the Mac and cheese side, and go for the baked beans and potato salad
Perfect place for some BBQ , brisket , and beers . Add some sausage too!
BBQ nachos and brisket tacos are both awesome takes on traditional barbecue
Fantastic brisket and ribs . Platter of both could easily serve two people.
Go upstairs and eat in the atrium. Live music and open air!
Come early... or else they might be out of brisket , ribs , and all the good stuff.
OMG!!! Great food the brisket is a must! Love it
I will come back here! Pulled pork , coke slaw and fries are perfect!
Full service at the bar , guys. No need to wait in line , go right in if you can find a spot.
The smoked wings were awesome! If you like spicy get the devils nectar sauce.
Brisket is the best I’ve ever had in my life
Brisket and pulled pork sandwich !!! Try their handmade bbq sauce !
Some of the best southern BBQ . Order lots and dig in together.
Meats were ok, sides were delicious: beans, slaw , broccoli salad , cornbread hoe
One of our favorites, go upstairs and sit with Boyd
Delicious food! Mac and Cheese is a must add side
Get here early. Lines can get really long around dinner .
Excellent Beef Brisket tray with mac and cheese .
Don’t go here after noon or so. The management seems obsessed with not planing ahead and the run out of everything, including things you can easily buy at the store like buns and soap.
The brisket is out of this world ????
OMG. Try everything!!!!
Try to get a seat at the bar to skip the line !
Great atmosphere
Go upstairs! You won’t regret it.
Everything. Can’t go wrong.
The Redneck Taco was delicious
Need some AC in the joint! Way too hot! Ran outta ribs too! Ridiculous huh? Otherwise service was great. Nice folks!
The Fried Bologna Sandwich is awesome!
Love the brisket sandwich and baked beans .
Ribs , ribs ribs
Combo plate with the brisket, sausage, turkey, and 2 sides of corn. Can't go wrong! - Shawn Kirsch
We LOVE the Southern Salad with hot chicken and ranch. So delicious, especially with a side of mac. - Meg Risso
Friendly bartenders! Platter is good... chicken is AMAZING! - Stephanie Kearney
The lemon vanilla cheesecake is heartbreakingly wonderful. And today's special, Mediterranean stuffed chicken, was to die for. - Jennie Alwell
Live music lives up to the reputation. Go around back for a quicker entrance. - Cameron Gidari
