    One of the best bbq spots I've ever been to. If you're not in the mood to try the dry ribs (that everyone raves about), go with the bbq sammich. Pair it with a super-local brew: Yazoo or Jackelope.

    Definitely the best BBQ in Nashville - load up on ribs and sides. Save some space for their amazing fruit pies (warning: very hot). Freshen up with a local brown or pale ale.

    3 in our party collectively we had dry rubbed ribs, chicken, pork & 6 sided. Everything was delish. The ribs & slaw stood out above all the others. Pitmaster Steve & counter staff are top knotch

    Good ass BBQ in a hidden part of Nashville. Cafeteria style dining. plan your visit carefully because tables are 1st come 1st serve & you aren't allowed to "hold" them before everyone gets their food

    Mixed experience, son and I had half rack of ribs and loved them! Daughter had the jumbo wings buffalo style and the sauce was unique, smoky and delicious. husband had the pulled pork and it was cold.

    This place lacks in ambiance, but you’ll forget about that as soon as you take a bite. Order the smoked green beans. They are perfectly smoked and spiced with bits of pork. We went back for seconds!

    Try the dry rubbed ribs, mac & cheese, potato salad, & green beans! The peach fried pie was delish but an extra $2 for a scoop of ice cream is silly. I would like to try the BBQ nachos next time.

    Saw the owner on bbq pitmasters. I had the wet ribs and my husband had the pulled pork. Everything was very good! Mario was a great bar tender too. The drinks didn't break the bank! We will return.

    Loved the ribs, and the pulled pork was also very good. The Mac and cheese and bbq beans were also very good. The green beans weren’t my favorite. Would absolutely go back.

    Award-winning pitmaster Carey Bringle has set up shop in the Gulch, and barbecue aficionados from around Middle Tennessee are flocking to this no-frills temple of pork.

    Got the half-rack, mac & cheese, fries, and their IPA. All the food was delicious and beer was great. I highly recommend this spot.

    Best ribs in town! Try the dry rub with the smoked green beans and BBQ beans on the side. I can't wait to come back.

    The dry ribs are swabbed with an acidic, finely tuned baste, and then dusted over a potent spice blend that riles the taste buds into a frenzy yet never detracts from the redolent meat underneath. Read more

    The dry rubbed ribs are a real eye opener, please resist the urge to throw sauce on them. Mac n cheese is super creamy and rich.

    It's not a surprise that Carey Bringle knows pig, but it exceeded my high expectations. The pulled pork is fantastic, I loved the ribs and you really, really, REALLY need to try the white sauce.

    The ribs were amazing! Was recommended to get dry when I ordered them wet and boy was she right! Also order the Mac and cheese for your side. You won't be disappointed!

    Pro tip: Order the Wings, Ribs, and Pulled Pork Nachos and grab a seat at the bar where they have loads of fun drinks and BUSHWACKERS on tap!

    Good food, great atmosphere. Was there at lunch and it got busy right at noon. Although I didn't imbibe, there is a really nice full bar and large flat screen.

    Carey Bringle is one of our all time favorite people in America, and not just because he's one of the country's best pitmasters. Don't make a trip to Nashville without a stop into his BBQ spot.

    I asked what was good, not realizing I was speaking with the owner. He gave me wonderful instructions, and I can say that I've never had better BBQ. Splurge and get a fried pie too!

    Dry-rubbed ribs are to die for and the beer list is good (for Tennessee). Nice seating with good outdoor patio. Really really good BBQ.

    BBQ Pork Plater with Hot BBQ Sauce, baked beans, smoked green beans and a Mayday Redhead beer makes for a great meal. Best BBQ I have ever had!!!

    If you're in Nashville and want ribs, then this is the place to go. Dry rubbed ribs are excellent, so are the smoked green beans.

    The pulled pork was very good - flavorful and not dry. Coleslaw, mac n cheese and fries all good, too. Ribs had too much seasoning, which didn't go all the way thru the meat, & no smokiness at all.

    Get the famous dry rub ribs which has incredible bark. Pair it with a side of BBQ beans and mac n cheese. "Cooked slow and served fast!"

    The dry rub ribs are the best in Tennessee, nay, the universe. Smoked mac 'n cheese is phenomenal also.

    Ribs are a must have. For the two sides go for Mac'n'cheese and BBQ beans. You won't be disappointed!

    This is legit Memphis-style barbecue. The sandwich is one of the few in Nashville that doesn't come out of a crock pot, and it shows in actual flavor.

    BBQ sandwich is great, as are the dry ribs. Try the chocolate fried pie after supper (w/ice cream).
