Everyonefrom the area knows this is THE PLACE to come for your BBQ. If you love to discover secret hometown BBQ, you must visit this place. It is truly a small restaurant so seating is limited but, I will promise you it is worth a wait.

Recently, My Girlfriend, her Daughter & I went to Small Town BBQ. I had never been there before and neither had the girls I was with. It’s almost like a hole in the wall or Mom n Pop style restaurant, which not by any means is that a Bad thing. I was very impressed, and the Food was very good. For me, it was worth the trip to Friendsville, in fact. The Menu has a wide selection to choose from, keep in mind, this is a BBQ base direction but if you like BBQ as much as I do, it is worth going. I have included in the attached pictures the Menu and pictures of our meals. My Girlfriend's son said Mac n Cheese is very good. My Girlfriend and I ordered the Trio Sampler with Fried Okra & Mac N Cheese. My Girlfriend's daughter ordered the Fat Mac with a side of Potato Salad. About 7 minutes after

This is a small hole in the wall restaurant that you really have to look to find. But it is worth the try. The portions are decent, they have 6-7 different BBQ sauces to choose from at each table inside their little building, and their food tastes great. The only draw back is it is a bit pricey it was $50 for 2 of us to eat I ordered the trio with okra and Mac $ cheese and my wife ordered the smash burger with potato salad. We will definitely go back just might be a little while.

The service and atmosphere were great! They have six kinds of sauce, which were all pretty tasty. The pulled pork was just meh. We bought two pounds and probably eight ounces of that was gobby fat, and the meat itself didn't have the taste we were hoping for. Our local BBQ restaurant is seasonal and doesn't re-open for about six weeks, but we are spoiled by them, so we will just wait for them to open to have BBQ again.

My husband brought me here for the first time today and I CANNOT praise this place enough. Super friendly staff, fantastic food, cozy atmosphere. Upon walking in we were immediately and handed menus. She gave us an amazing run down of the menu that I haven’t heard before; she told us what she didn’t have, what the specials were, any other tidbits we might have asked about before we could have thought about it. The food was absolutely fantastic and I’ve already told my husband I won’t want to go anywhere else for BBQ again. The pulled pork was unbelievably juicy and tender, and I can’t pick a favorite sauce. On top of all that, ladies, if you have an emergency, the bathroom provides pads and tampons of varying sizes. That’s a level of attention and care that I’ve not seen before, and it sto
