Drifters Tennessee Barbeque (BBQ) Joint

Had a craving for BBQ and this place was one of the first to come up in th search for close to me. Place was not too bad busy for a Sunday evening. Got seated quickly and put server was very attentive. Gave us recommendations. I chose the half rack rib platter with fries, cole slaw, and potato salad with Alabama white sauce. Let me tell you this, I have eaten my fair share of ribs and these are probably the best I have had. Not quite fall of the bone. Very tender, very flavorful with a good rub applied. The Alabama white sauce was good, but just a tad spicy. I did dip them in it, and it gave them extra flavor, but they really did not need it. I could have eaten these straight off the bone. Mayo Cole slaw and potato salad were good. Fries were seasoned well. Will be back when I'm in the ar

Ribs were fork tender, pulled chicken didn't even need sauce, but the sweet and smokey was excellent. Nice variety of ciders available for gluten free options. Server was very knowledgeable about different sauces and drinks, giving recommendations when requested

We stopped in here for a taste and cold drink with the Secrets Tour and wow these wings blew us away. My son is the one that likes spicy food and he loved the flavor. The Pineapple Cider was absolutely delicious and really tamed the spices down.

This was my first time here and it was really good! My husband and I were on vacation and wanted to try something different. We found this cool little place and who doesn't love BBQ! Great music, service and food. It was also nice to see that clearly local people obviously frequent the place because they knew the staff by name, and everyone was very friendly, which you don't often see anymore. I love that. Our waitress/bartenders name was Ashley and she was great! As far as meat goes, I had BBQ brisket and it was so juicy and tender, it was delicious. My husband also had the BBQ brisket, as well as the pulled chicken and that was just as tender and juicy.

They serve a salsa that is made with house smoked tomatoes and it might be the best salsa I have ever eaten. Go here and try it. We were staying nearby and went again. We got the ribs and they are amazing. Don’t miss out on this place.
