To be fair, I didn't try any protein from there yet. I smoked my owns ribs and just wanted to grab some sides. I'll check back soon when I try their brisket. The other sides, mac n cheese, potato salad, and baked beans; all left something to be desired. I will definitely try Smash Mouth again!

Specials look like great deals, too. It's very clean. There are maybe a dozen parking spaces. All too close together. They use napkins and folded paper towels like you get at a picnic or cookout. The burgers next door pretty much come with cheese and/or onions. I don't know what was in that to-go cup, but it wasn't the Coke I requested. It was soooo sweet. Maybe a splash of tea and lemonade and 10 Oz of pure sugar in a 12 Oz cup? Trust when i say that's it's another sign if legit bbq. I've only had a burger so far. It was greeezy, juicy, cheesy, and delicious. I've driven by a few times. This has been inevitable and now I want to be a regular. You know when you find little places that are absolute gems and you know immediately? That's what it's like here. Time slows down. There's a bustling sub-metro outside, but here it feels like you just got home and hit the couch with nothing else on the to-do list for the day. They cook like they have something to prove. I'll be back. Hopefully often.

Buddy's BBQ breakfast platter was a hearty, satisfying start to the day. The smoked chicken was the…read morestandout--tender, flavorful, and carrying that classic smoky barbecue taste that makes Buddy's such a local favorite. It worked surprisingly well as a breakfast protein and gave the plate more character than the usual sausage or bacon. The biscuits were soft and filling, and the gravy added a rich, comforting touch. Everything came together as a Southern-style breakfast that felt substantial without being overly complicated. If you enjoy barbecue flavors in the morning, the smoked chicken with biscuits and gravy is definitely worth trying.

I stop here for breakfast occasionally, but today was the first time I actually sat down to eat…read more I ordered the breakfast platter with ham and came away with mixed feelings. The eggs (over medium) were cooked perfectly and tasted great, and the biscuit was excellent. The ham was the letdown--I expected something closer to country ham, but it was thin luncheon meat of the kind you'd normally put on a sandwich. The hash rounds looked only partially cooked, so I didn't try them. I also ordered a side of biscuits and gravy, which was fine with no complaints. My bigger issue is their DoorDash policy. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I stopped in while driving to Birmingham. We were already running late. The employee at the counter told us they had only two biscuits left and that more would take about 15 minutes. We changed our order and specifically agreed to take the two remaining biscuits so we could get back on the road. I went out to the truck. A few minutes later my wife texted that she thought our biscuits had been given to a DoorDash order. We ended up waiting about 25 minutes. The same employee then told my wife that DoorDash orders take priority over customers standing at the counter. That policy is ridiculous. What bothered us most was that the employee agreed to give us the two available biscuits and then handed them off without telling us. Had we known that would happen, we would not have placed the order. I generally like their breakfast--especially the biscuits--but the DoorDash policy and the way that situation was handled were extremely disappointing.

Both were very delicious, with the chopped pork being easier to eat in a sandwich (or with a fork), but just a bit dryer than the pork off of the roast. I also had the pork ribs, which were every bit as tasty as any other BBQ I have had. The sauce is tangy and pretty good (I am not a sauce connosiour, so I hesitate to judge). The coleslaw was great, and the hushpuppies were crispy and fresh. The food was also very affordable, and definitely made me want to go back. The service is mostly at the counter where you order your food, and my experience was great. I hope you go! I know they also prepare BBQ for parties or to take out in large quantities, but I haven't tried that yet.

We both went with the brisket sandwich. We have had brisket numerous times, but this by far was the best we've ever had. It was so moist and tasty, the flavorful BBQ sauce was not needed. The pickled vegetables were a great addition to the sandwich. We gobbled it down and said if we lived in Knoxville, we'd visit this truck at least 3x/week! Plus, the owners were extremely passionate about their BBQ and personable. We love spending our money on establishments like this. Don't miss out!

Although they are serving from a food truck, the size of their smokers and quality of the food is comparable to anything I've had in a restaurant. On this occasion I had their 1/4 pound brisket sandwich with potato salad. While they offer a 1/2 pound sandwich, I found the 1/4 pound version to be a very generous portion and quite filling. The brisket itself was juicy and tender and had a perfect peppery bark. The sandwich is served with their house pickles and onions on the side along with a smoky sauce. Together it made for a great texture and mix of flavors. The potato salad was also very good and pairs well with the brisket. The folks running this business were extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Rather than toss them in sauce they coat them in a rub: Original, Fire, or Blazin. Blazin is a bit on the hot side for me but okay if tried separately. The rubs are so tasty you don't even need the sauces, but they are flavorful as well. My favorites so far are the spicy bleu cheese and the spicy garlic. I thought the sweet chili lime was a bit too watery and didn't love the cilantro lime ranch but I really haven't gone wrong yet. I wish I could go more often but Big Kahuna is on the pricier side as far as wings go, though the drum wings have a good amount of meat.

We each had a Coleslaw side and thought it was too liquidy and bland. I recommend the regular chop barbecue sandwich and the fried okra. I would not order the coleslaw again. I also would not order the potato salad again, which I thought was bland and mushy. Had the rib dinner. Perhaps an off night. About 6 large and meaty ribs that come sauced. They were dried out and probably the worst tasting ribs I have ever had. I highly recommend not ordering them. The 1/2 pound sliced brisket was served in a cup. It was ok but not something I can't wait to try again. I wasn't gonna get dessert, but was intrigued by the "cherry cheese pie". I thought it was some homemade unique pie, but it actually was standard cheesecake with a cherry pie filling topping. The cheese part was smooth and creamy. It was OK but not unique as I had hoped.

She enjoyed it and had plenty to take home. My experience was different. I ordered the 3 piece rib entree with baked beans and cole slaw. Again, the offering was huge. 3 large ribs and good side portions. Baked beans were delicious and cole slaw was refreshing. My issue came with the ribs which looked and tasted like they were boiled. No smokey flavor at all. They were on the fatty side and far from fall off the bone. I'd have left them on the Smoker for at least a few more hours. Anyway, take what you will from my mixed review and better luck to you.
