BBQ Done Right, Flavor That Hits You Like a Haymaker! We finally tried Haymaker BBQ today and wow… hands down the best baked beans I’ve ever had in my life! Smoky, sweet, and full of flavor, I could’ve made a meal out of just those. The smoked bologna was melt-in-your-mouth good, the pulled pork was perfectly tender, and that rack of ribs… fall-off-the-bone delicious. Every bite tasted like it came straight from a backyard smoker made with love. If you’re anywhere near here, you have to stop in. Trust me, it’s worth it!

I ordered a pulled pork BBQ sandwich plate with a drink and 20% tip and paid $23. The plate comes with two sides but if you want slaw on your sandwich it counts as one of your sides or adds an extra $4.50. My order came out very quickly. The pulled pork sandwich was a decent size, but was room temperature and dry, with not much flavor. They had three sauces available, though they were all very sweet. The fried okra looked amazing but sadly was room temp as well. The mac and cheese was very hot but bland. Overall not good value for money.

Was not happy and I know it's the employees job to tell you that everything is good but when I ordered the brisket burn ends and they came out as tough as the worst beef jerky I've ever had somebody needs the quality control this because for this reason there's only one thing saving my expensive dinner and that was the fried green tomatoes that was the highlight of the entire thing those were the best that I've had in a long time but the brisket I'll never order again. My wife got the looks like ground up chicken I guess it's supposed to be pulled chicken but it definitely looks like it went through a meat tenderizer or something she said it was pretty good but no brisket next time I think I'll return it that was not good.

Good TN BBQ! Got the pulled chicken, burnt ends, baked beans, fries, mac and cheese and cat fish! All pretty good… but the fish was amazing! Prices are pretty good for the meals!

★★★★★ 5.0 Philip Eoute · May 2023

We were happy to stumble upon Haymaker BBQ. Always encouraging when there's a pile of wood and the smoker is going. The new manager and pitmaster was very friendly and explained his commitment to freshness and quality. We enjoyed the pulled pork and brisket the best.
