    huge amount of FAT

    So disappointed, ordered a lb of brisket. I ended up getting a huge amount of fat. $20 for fat. I will never order takeout again very disappointed

    Well worth planning your week around this joint's hours!!! Just a beautiful aroma of smoked meat slaps you upside the head upon traversing the threshold of this cozy (wife says cute) little restaurant. The food was outstanding and served quickly. Wife had brisket and pork - both moist and very smoky. I opted for smoked Cuban. Kind of went out on a limb there, but experienced something really cool. Oh and the signature au gratin will make you change denominations. Wait staff made great recommendations and were over the top sweet. Eat here. All three days a week they are open.

    To-go order (well packaged to keep it warm)

    I have been driving by this place wayyy too many times that it's a shame it's taken me so long to try them! I had the pleasure of trying Big Bad Wolf one weekday for lunch. After looking through their menu online, I called and placed my to-go order and the food was ready in less than 15 minutes. I ordered the brisket quesadilla and it was delicious! The full portion was enough for me to eat half for lunch and the rest for dinner. For a side, I added the baked beans. Next time I would try a different side since I'm a little bit particular about my beans. Overall, great hidden gem in the Mt. Juliet area! I can't wait to order from them again.

    Homemade BBQ Sauce

    We went here for brunch today and I will say that I think they have the best breakfast in Mt. Juliet. They have been there for years. They have good lunch, too. Its a small place with about 13 tables. I think alot of people drive by and don't realize it's a great local gem. They are closed on Sundays and sometimes on Saturday if they are busy catering, so I would check the website before going. Lunch starts at 11:00. You can also purchase their homemade BBQ sauce. They have great service, too.

    Amazing food and very friendly staff, they treat you like you're at a family bbq. I didn't get a picture of it but the pies are amazing!

    Excellent bbq in Mount Juliet outside of Nashville. The portions were delicious and plentiful . The owner came over herself to check on us and make sure we were satisfied. They have a catering background and you can tell by all the delicious flavors . Definitely put this one in your list.

    Steak and eggs are well worth $20. All the food was great. All the service was great. The staff was friendly. I give this place an A.

    Brisket Quesadilla with Fruit Tea
    R W.

    When you see business folks and construction workers in the same place, you're probably in the right place for good food. Big Bad Wolf is that place and yes the food is great. The waitstaff made sure my cup was never empty and I had everything I needed. I had the Brisket quesadilla with Fruit Tea and a great tasting tangy BBQ sauce unlike any I've had before. I'd been there before and I'll be back again!

    Food was decent but it was incredibly loud for such a small place. 85dB to be exact. Other than that: Service was good. Wait was long.

    Our Gang of 6 returned to Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint. I enjoyed the tasty and tender brisket sandwich…read morewith a Wiseacre Brewing's Tiny Bomb brewski. The side order of BBQ Beans was WAY over-salted; I should have sent it back. Others enjoyed their Smoked Bologna and Pulled-pork Sandwiches You walk up to place your order, and your food is promptly delivered to your table. Simple décor. My gripe is the system to buy beer. After the first beer, you must leave your table, return to bar area, place your 2nd order, and go thru another transaction. Beer selection is very good. Outdoor seating unless too hot or cold. Good value. Good for groups. Open daily. Private parking area. They cater as well.

    Here's the thing about traveling with someone you've known for a long time and who's known you a…read morelong time; they can tell you when you fall into bad habits. One of the worst habits I have is I have pretty noticeable FOMO when it comes to bbq joints. After a fairly sizable meal of hot chicken and sides, and after a good-sized concrete mixer after, I should've taken it easy with a smaller dinner. I should've followed Toby's example and gotten that fried bologna sandwich here I wanted to try. Instead, my lizard brain kicked in and I went after the spare ribs and smoked chicken that I normally would've gotten had it been any other day. I just can't see myself going to a place known for whole hog bbq and opting for a sandwich. It's like traveling with a beautiful girl who's into you and choosing to just settle for walks to first. Nobody has that kind of restraint. Ribs are just too good. And Martin's ribs, like the other greats like Joe's KC, Pappy's, Montgomery Inn, and Fat Bob's is not something you give up on once you're there. And what's worse is that Martin's actually gave me 7 ribs with the combo I ordered. Add to that the smoked 1/4 chicken, the 3 bread slices, the kickass beans, and a decent mac n' cheese and you have a recipe for busting a gut in trying to eat most of your plate. The service was good, even if they didn't check on me as much as I would've liked. When I asked for refills and a box for the table, they were prompt and courteous about it. That's what matters. Not only that they offered the refills for the road like a good restaurant does so you can tell they care about treating their customers well in other ways. The ambiance was good. It definitely made me want to sit in there again. And maybe this time I get the fried bologna instead and Toby gets the heavier plate and sighs incredulously all night about how she's a dead woman due to gluttony. I don't know--I don't think it's a true bbq feast for the ages until someone one complains they might die happy due to excessive barbecue.
