Staff was extremely friendly. Mac n cheese was horrible. Baked beens were decent. Stuffed baked potato was really good.

Nothing fancy, but if you are stuck in one of the airport hotels or don't mind a drive over here, check this BBQ joint out. Generous portions, good flavor. Have been here a number of times when in town. Great staff. You cannot go wrong here. Fruit tea... my new favorite sweet treat. The brisket was delightful as was the pulled chicken. Friend had brisket and sausages and said the same. Slaw is decent. Green beans good. Stop reading my review... get in your car or call a cab and head here immediately! read more

Fruit Tea!! It's a must try! It's a main reason for my stop and I often buy it by the gallon. Always fresh and sweet! I love the grilled cheese too. Very simple yet delicious! The drive thru service is normally quick. I don't often eat inside because of being on the go but the parking lot is often packed so I know it has to be great family home style vibes is what I imagine. read more

This place is way overpriced. They take way too long, even for the most basic of orders. Food is mediocre. In the few times that I've been here, the order has been wrong or something has been left out every time. read more

Fast food BBQ? Came here on a Friday night a few weeks ago and there were about less than half of the tables occupied. Service was fast and friendly. We got the pulled pork sandwich on the fried cornbread with mac n'cheese and the pulled chicken combo with fried cornbread, a side of potato salad, and a side of cinnamon apples for a total of $27. The pulled pork could've been a little warmer, but the fried cornbread was a novelty and the mac n'cheese passed the test. Everything was decorated for Halloween, which made the place cute. We tried the 4 different BBQ sauces (with my favorite being the sweet). 2023 #72 read more

Super friendly services but that's where the love ends. Dry Times. Special call out to women who bounces around singing. She's so sweet and made my day. You know what I need the Beef. 2 Meat Sampler $19.95 Brisket- dry and chewy. Asked the kid for wet/moist cut but he did not know what I was asking for and I certainly got the opposite. There very little coloring in the brisket. This is disappointing. Sausage- overcooked and dried out. The skin was crispy and separated from the meat in places from drying out. Another miss. Cole Slaw- not a wet slaw, a little sweet, and good. Nice. Potato Salad- chunky, yellow, with a lot of egg. Good job here with this side too. Fried Corn Bread- a treat to order for sure, this pancake like cornbread is delicious. Could use a side of butter served with it but not needed. BBQ Sauces: Hot- light with a kick. Carolina- kick'n hot with a sweet mustard feel Sweet- thick and easy but what I would call a good base sauce and not sweet. Mild- that it is but a little sweet and a touch of pepper. Great taste that can go on anything. All are good. Going with a misc of mild for the great, thick flavor and the hot to kick it up for a good mix. The service depends on who you get. Two sides of a coin between the young man and women behind the counter. The food is ok at best. There were many regulars here who knew the staff so it's beloved by some. Sadly, not read more

The service is great. They attend to your every need. The place is clean and has a great appearance. The is great. I got the three meat sampler. I tried ribs, brisket, and sausage. I had cornbread, cornbread dressing with gravy, bbq beans and corn. It was great. I will be back. read more

Food was hot and quick. That's about the only positive. Got the 3 meat sampler. Sausage was chewy and only about 6 pieces, brisket was bland and really non-existent and ribs were tough. The cost was high for what you got IMO. read more

Bar-B-Cutie - 3 meat sampler - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Pulled Pork and Beef Brisket were excellent. Good sized food portions for the price. Staff were friendly and hospitable. Food was out quickly and hot. Restaurant was clean and very much a place I will visit again when in Nashville. read more

This was a really solid fast food BBQ experience. The food was tasty, the ordering was a bit hectic but all-in-all fast and we got our food pretty quick. We tried the banana pudding for dessert as we'd never had it before, and we're used to the same concoction made with lemon pudding. It was a little on the sweet side for our tastes, because we are used to lemon pudding and wafers, but it was very good, tasted very fresh and like real bananas. read more

Bar-B-Cutie - Louisiana Tabasco peppers in vinegar - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I visited this place for the first time in my life. It is definitely way over priced. The brisket sandwich only has 4 pieces of meat. What a rip off! The pork sandwich had more meat but dry. The macaroni was lukewarm. I had to get a different batch. First time and last I come to this let down. read more

**Disclaimer - This review is purely on the food as I had it delivered to my hotel** Everyone says you have to try the BBQ in Tennessee, but after along day of flying, I chose takeout from Bar-B-Cutie. I was honestly impressed with the quality of the food despite it being delivery. I had try the 4 sample platter which includes pulled pork, pulled chicken, BBQ chicken and roasted turkey. How was it? Continue on to find out. The pulled pork was still moist and once I added some of the BBQ sauce to it, it disappeared quicker than it took me to open the box. You could taste the smoke and the BBQ sauce I could eat on a flip-flop (DDD reference haha). The pulled chicken was just as good. The turkey was flavorful, but would be better served on a sandwich with some stuffing and cranberry sauce. The BBQ chicken was very moist and the BBQ sauce on it had a slight char which only adds to the overall flavor. The baked beans was interesting because it had their signature BBQ sauce in it which added an additional flavor. Being from Maine and enjoying a nice backed bean dinner, I wasn't sure what to think about leaning away from the traditional style, but I did enjoy it. The potato salad was good and nothing unique about it. You will see a fried cornbread pancake in my pictures and I can't say I didn't love it or like it. Those cakes have to be eaten fresh and not after sitting in a box collecting all the steam from the food. So I won't comment on it and just say you need to try it fresh if you want the true experience. Overall, I was impressed and didn't leave a single piece of food left on the plate by the end. It's certainly filling so if you are not hungry, try the 2 or 3 meat sampler. You will not be disappointed. If I enjoyed the flavors after it sitting in a box for several minutes before being delivered, imagine the flavors if I had it fresh from their kitchen. Go check them out! read more

Service was great! Food was pretty good. We would probably return in we were in the area.

On a scale of 1 to 10 on BBQ, I give it a 3. It's bland!!! I had to salt it to death to pull up some of the flavor. Dry! Dry! Dry! This place should smoke their BBQ...now that would do the food justice. Beans were meh...cream corn was decent. The best thing I liked was the BBQ bread! Very disappointed...I will never be back. read more

Great service and decent bbq. This is an order and then sit type of restaurant. The young woman who helped us with our order went above and beyond in making sure we had a great experience. She gave us honest recommendations and then got us any additional items once our food came out. She did it all with a smile in her voice and on her face. I wish I remembered her name. read more

Bar-B-Cutie - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I love BBQ turkey very much and I needed to eat lunch, so I was happy to see Bar-B-Cutie close to my hotel. It's a casual place with lots of regulars. You order at the register, grab your drink and they bring your food out quickly. I had my beloved turkey which was excellent - clearly from an actual bird and not the microwaved loaf horrorshow I was served at Smokey Bones. This was fresh, juicy and lightly smoked. It didn't need sauce all but I did enjoy their hot sauce which is vinegar-y rather than sweet (my preference). As sides, I had white beans which were solid and cooked with pork belly, and creamed corn which was excellent. Plates come with bread - I chose cornbread which is served like pancakes here. Okay? Prices are very reasonable and the food was great and served in large portions. Extra thumbs up to the woman working the dining room who was just about the nicest person ever. read more

Bar-B-Cutie - BBQ on cornbread, Macaroni & Cheese, Onion Rings - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Looking for some good barbecue, I'd pass on this place. We got a 4 meat platter. Ribs were mediocre, turkey was good, brisket very dry, pulled pork, below average. Corn bread very mediocre. Sorry read more

Great spot near our hotel. Good BBQ ribs, pulled pork, smoked turkey, and beef brisket. The mac-n-cheese was creamy and baked beans was properly sweetened. I tried both the fried cornbread and BBQ bread. Corn fritter or pancake could use a smidge of sweetness. The BBQ bread was just a huge piece of Texas toast, but I prefer it over the cornbread. Nostalgic decor and superb customer service. The lady that took our order was sweet and friendly. I asked for the Carolina sauce expecting Carolina Reaper sauce but it was not spicy at all. I highly recommend this place to all yelpers. Great food. Excellent friendly service. read more

Good 'ole barbecue place! I like the pulled pork but they have an epic chicken sandwich - better & bigger than that other place with the long lines! Sides are good, too. Staff at the drive-thru are very nice! read more

Fantastic dining experience!! Super friendly & helpful staff...very clean establishment...food was beyond excellent!! Will definetely return next time we are in the area!! read more

First and foremost, they have excellent customer service. The lady at the register was so sweet. The food, on the other hand , is pretty mediocre it's not terrible, but it's not something I would drive to eat again. I got the potato salad, and for me, it was a little salty and just wasn't how I expected it to taste. They do have good mac and cheese, and the big beans are good. I had the country fried steak, which was pretty decent but nothing out of the ordinary. So here comes the worst part, after I placed my order, I started feeling really dizzy. I'm assuming from heat exhaustion or something of that sort. First, I went to go sit down, and then I lay on this bench in front of their door. I was clearly in distress. Yes my children was with me but I was kind of at a loss of what to do I need it to lay down I knew that so I stumbled my way out the front door and kind of passed out in front of the establishment I thought it would be very weird that no one checked on me or even asked if I was okay or needed anything. However, I guess my well-being is not their business. I just thought they would care since I was in their establishment. read more

All these years later and I'm still coming back here. Since moving to the neighborhood I come here often. Love that they play tasteful country music. Love that they have a drive through. I think I first came here in 2005 when I worked nearby. They must have changed their hot sauce or maybe my tastes have changed because I really like the hot sauce now. read more

I am so disappointed with this place... The food portion I received is very little. The food is not even that good. This is about $15.00 at the time of this review. No bueno.. read more

Bar-B-Cutie - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I was flying out of Nashville Airport and was looking for a good place to eat dinner. I came across Bar-B-Cutie on a Google search of restaurants near BNA. The reviews looked good and the photos too, so off I went. Bar-B-Cuties has been around since the 1950s and has multiple locations in Tennessee, Georgia and Texas. They specialize in Pit-Style barbecue. The restaurants are decorated with a country vibe with license plates on the walls and photos of days past. They serve up many many favourites like Smoked Chicken, Pulled Pork, Brisket, Ribs, Links etc. On this visit, I tried a two-Meat Plate with Smoked Turkey and Brisket, served with Baked beans, Mashed Potatoes and a side of gravy. The food was delicious and well prepared. My Turkey was lean and moist, and the brisket was fall-off-the-bone tender as well. The service was really great as I was served by a long-time employee, who had a great sense of humour and was very attentive. I've had a lot of barbecues over the years some memorable and some I would not return to. Bar-B-Cuties has been around for a long time, and their quality, consistency and reasonable pricing keep people coming. There was a long lineup for take-out, and almost all the seats were full, so you know it's a popular spot for Barbecue in the area. Next time you are flying out of Nashville airport and looking for a good Barbecue joint, give Bar-B-Cutie a shot. read more

Fun name and good bbq eating that I frequented a few times on a business trip to Nashville a few years ago. Was right down the street from my hotel and training facility so it worked perfect. Good Fo bored bbq sauce and good service. Was my favorite bbq joint in the donelson area of Nashville read more

First time was a good experience. Not a long wait to order and even shorter time for the food to arrive. The pulled chicken was so juicy and moist, especially when you bit into the meat. read more

Bar-B-Cutie - Pulled chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Really bad!!!! At 6 PM on a Friday night I would expect anyone who served a good meal would have the most fresh, well prepared, moist, tender meat they have all day. I ordered a 3 meat combo with collards and Brunswick stew. Since I live 30 minutes from Brunswick Ga let me start with the stew, you can call it anything you want but if it does not have lima beans, it is not Brunswick stew. This was peas, corn, potatoes and tomatoes. I do not think it had any meat at all. The collard greens had the right texture but were not seasoned and vinegar was not available. So on to the meat. I chose turkey, brisket and ribs. The turkey did not taste smokey, did not have a smoke ring and I would bet not prepared in house. It was the best of the 3 but not that good. The brisket was very dry and tough. Properly cooked brisket is firm enough to hold its own weight but releases when tugged gently. A knife was required for this brisket, they give you a plastic knife and I thought i was going to break it. The flavor was fine but the finished product was disappointing. I am a rib guy, Competition ribs require you to gently tug to pull the meat from the bone and teeth marks should be visible. This was definitely not that. Not everyone wants that type of rib, but the meat should be firm at a minimum. It literally pulled of the bone like pulled pork. It was ordered wet but no sauce was on the ribs when I got it so I do not know what they meant by wet, Thankfully there was sauce on the table. The tea was good, that is a solid statement in the south. They claim to have been around for 70 years. No one makes it that long without building a reputation but it has clearly deteriorated over time. You can see that the owner Ronnie does address most negative reviews but there are a lot. They all seem to have the same general post, 7 decades, quality meats, perfectly cooked. I did not find another BBQ place really close to the airport so next time I will travel. Sorry Ronnie, it was just bad!!! read more

Super cute spot with amazing food! First time in Nashville and this was the first place we stopped to eat. As soon as you walk in the door, you are greeted with the most amazing aroma of bbq. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I had the beef brisket with mac and cheese and baked beans. So. Delicious. I highly recommend this quaint little spot for a good meal! read more

Just moved to town, we tried this place on a whim and it did not disappoint. The staff was so friendly and helpful and the food was amazing!!! Definitely will be back! read more

I have to start out by shutting down the old reviews saying the brisket is dry because once I told the staff of those bad reviews they explained you can order a lean- or juicy-cut of brisket. And quite frankly neither was dry or terrible one bit but the juicy cut was so amazing! As far as the ribs go, we split a full rack amongst two of us and loved them so much. The sauces aren't anything worth dying for but the meat here really is. read more

With so many BBQ choices, I always make time when in Nashville to stop in. Good food and great service, pulled pork sandwiched between cornbread pancakes is the family favorite. Heads up on the parking lot it's one WAY :) read more

This is your basic barbecue restaurant. It's best quality is a convenient location if you're going to the airport or staying at a hotel there. And the bbq pork was good. Family friendly and no alcohol. As I said, Pork barbecue was good as were the sauces on the table. Fried pickles were not house made and didn't taste like pickles. (I've had the same kind at other restaurants. Note to self: ask if they're from a vendor.) Salad was ok- iceberg all the way. They charged us extra for bacon bits in the salad without telling us, which always makes me mad even though it is not much money. read more

Ordered meat by the lb for a party. Brisket, pork and turkey. The food was delicious! Everyone really enjoyed the food. The order and pickup process was very easy and the food was hot, wrapped and ready for pickup through the drive thru window on time. Can't wait to eat more of their food. High quality and great experience. read more

We stopped while be out of town after someone from hotel recommended it. This place did not disappoint us. Food was very good and plentiful. I had the Country Fried Steak which came with two side and bread. Food came very quickly and the girl who brought our food was great! We ask about one of the side and she went and got some for us to try. The restaurant itself was order and the counter and then find a seat and they bring out your food. I will most likely return before we leave for home. read more

Very positive experience!! Very good food, I got the roasted barbecued chicken on a baked potato, my husband got the variety plate, our daughter got the pulled pork plate. We definitely couldn't finish it all so had another meal at home later. Service was quick and pleasant. The setting is typical for the restaurant, pleasant and clean. read more

Food was more than likely pre-made. That's common for fast food, but the hot dogs looked and tasted like they had been sitting for days. Fries didn't have an ounce of seasoning either. read more
