I went to Papa‘s barbecue on the request of a patient who has been going there for years. I’ve never been so disappointed in my life. I got the half a chicken plate to go and not only did not have barbecue sauce, but the chicken tasted disgusting!!! Totally dry and tasteless!

Never find yourself driving through the little town of Erin and you're looking for a country home feel with some of the best barbecue you'll ever put in your mouth then I highly suggest stopping here anytime I get a chance going through Erin this is my go-to spot for lunch no matter where you're from they're going to make you feel welcome and no matter how hungry you are they are going to make you full not to mention the price won't hurt your pocket 10 out of 10 would recommend

Great BBQ cuisine for a small local restaurant. The waitress was pleasant. I ordered a smoked chicken half with mashed potatoes with gravy and fried okra. Classic cuisine for the southern homestyle vibe.

★★★★★ 5.0 Terri Thrasher · Sep 2025

So happy we found this place! There aren’t many restaurants within 20 mins of our house but we decided to try this one and we will definitely be back often! The service was great, food was hot & fresh & everyone was so friendly. Prices are more than reasonable. Highly recommend!

Smell it from the highway, smelled so good my body got confused. Jumbo BBQ sanmich meat was the best. Baked beans WELL seasoned. Bit less than an hour from Clarksville, TN.
