We asked Yelp for any recommendation for the best BBQ around the area and Bustin Butts BBQ came the first. And that was NOT a lie! The food was great--our favorites were the Bbq ribs and smoked green beans. We decided to dine in for the experience. However, the place has a drive thru for orders and pickups. The place offers a large parking spots for customers that dine in and shop at their local grocery inside the lot. read more

The most amazing bbq I've ever had in my life!! Drove an hour to try it was worth it 100%

Best BBQ in Tennessee! I had the opportunity to try Bustin Butts BBQ in Wears Valley today. I have to agree with Jon Gruden of the Oakland Raiders - Bustin Butts is a unique find! I highly recommend it! read more

We came here a few years ago and loved it. When we came back through yesterday, I was hoping the memory wasn't better than the actual food...and it wasn't. Some of the best damn bbq I've ever had. Ribs were fall off the bone. Brisket was tender, moist and smokey. Overall a great lunch and I would 10/10 recommend to anybody in the Pigeon Forge or Sevierville areas. read more

The food was great, the people were super nice. They even have it where you can order on one side of the building and pick it up on the other side when you drive around. The parking is a gravel lot. The seating is all outside and picnic tables. There is nothing fancy about this place and we loved it. There's even a little vegetable stand there if you need any fresh veggies. I'm never a fan of the upcharge for using a credit card, they do charge. They have little desserts, our bill included 2 cheesecakes - one blueberry and one strawberry. Obviously we started eating before the pictures were taken, it looked so good we forgot, and one meal didn't make it. Lol Also, you put the bbq sauce on yourself, so the amount is up to you. Go try it here, and don't pass it by or pull out of the parking lot when you see it. Don't be a snob, give it a chance. We'll be going back, hope to see you there. read more

just stopped by the best bbq out there!!! great service, sides, ribs, and brisket. will have to come by soon again to try the rest of the menu. read more

We were at the stables close by and passed this place. It looked appealing... outdoor seating (picnic tables), few large smokers. Food was pretty good. The ribs were a little too overcooked for my taste (also a little on the soggy side... I think they added too much sauce to the foil when wrapping?), but the ribs at both bbq places that I visited in the area were like that, so maybe that is how they are cooked in the area. They were fairly flavorful. A few of the pieces had a nice smoky flavor. Sides were okay, although the baked beans did taste just like they came out of a can. I'd recommend getting the mac n cheese instead. Service was extremely friendly. Also they offer a drive through option which looked fairly convenient. read more

This is a true roadside BBQ experience with seating in an open air lean to shed or drive through. The wood used in cooking the meats is oak and the smoker is one of the first things one drives by as you enter to park or drive through. For the life of me I don't understand all the 5 star reviews unless they are by folks who have never had really great BBQ. I ordered the brisket, pulled pork, baked beans and potato salad. The brisket was chopped chunks and was dripping with juice, but not from a nicely done brisket with the fat cap rendered. It had a strong flavor of beef broth/bouillon that overcame the light smoky flavor. I just didn't care for this. The pulled pork had a similar added flavor that was lighter and I was able to make it flavorful with one of their sweet BBQ sauces at the bench. The baked beans seemed to have nothing added other than being warmed after being poured out of a can. The potato salad was an absolute delight that went with its homemade character. It was a mustard type potato salad with some nice cubes of potato along with the creamy mustard dressing and mashed up potatoes. It was strongly reminiscent of the excellent potato salad my mother always made. There was a roll that seems a lot like a King's Hawaiian sweet roll. I finished the meal with some of the homemade banana pudding and found it quite tasty, but rather average overall. I also got a rack of ribs to go. I found the ribs to been falling off the bone done with a bit more smoky flavor, but the ends of the rack and the edges of the ribs to be overdone, dried out and really chewy. The service was cheerful, quick and very good. They also have a fruit stand with a very wide variety of apples and a large assortment of reasonably priced homemade jellies and jams. Really nice family run place by really nice people, but I found their meats to be a bit weak on smoke flavor leading me to rate them as average for their BBQ. Their prices are on par with BBQ restaurants that have indoor temperature controlled seating and non-disposable tableware. Service excellence and cheerfulness deserves a fourth star in my rating. If one is seeking truly exceptional BBQ, try other places. Even Calhoun's, Dickey's or even Famous Dave's are somewhat better. read more

This roadside BBQ and produce/jams/honey stand is a gem! We stopped by on our way through Sevierville and it just looked so cute we had to pull in. I wanted to buy all of the produce and jams/butters that they have! Everything looked awesome!! We ended up buying a spicy salsa, pickles and peaches- all were great!! We also tried some of the BBQ and OMG it was awesome. I got the brisket sandwich with the regular bbq sauce and it had so much flavor and was stacked high with brisket. I definitely will be back! read more

Bustin Butts BBQ - Brisket sandwich - Barbeque Near Me

This BBQ Joint is LEGIT! I mean up on par with some of the best I've tried from across the country (& I've been to A LOT)! We went to the road-side location at the end of the day, hoping we didn't miss them & luckily they were still ready to serve. Not just dry end of the day stuff, this was mouthwatering deliciousness that filled out container. People are super friendly, prices more than fair for high quality BBQ, just EVERYTHING was incredible. Got the 2x meat dinner (Ribs - WOW! & great Pulled Pork) & almost went back for breakfast immediately the next morning. Really should have vs the BBQ place we chose the next evening (yuck!). GO HERE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! read more

Food was so delicious!! Loved it. Service was fast and efficient! Loved the outdoor eating option and at first we didn't stop cause we thought it was just a drive thru. So glad we did. I would have missed out for sure if not. Definitely recommended read more

This has been my BEST find in BBQ food and fixings. My boyfriend and I decided to drop in and order some food to go. Since we had never eaten there, we asked what they had available, so the owner brought us out a sample of his brisket and it was the best BBQ brisket I've ever had. I'm originally from Memphis, Tn where they have the Worlds largest BBQ cooking contest and hundreds of contestants, so, I've had some of the best flavors of meats, sides and fixings.......until this place. The customer service was pleasant and very friendly and efficient. We decided to buy two of their specials and we are SO happy we did. We have enjoyed this flavorful ribs, briskets, rolls, cheesy Mac and cheese and rich bbq beans.....yummy....getting hungry just thinking about it again. We will be back and tell others about this gem of a family owned smoke house. read more

omg!!! I saw it advertised on facebook and had to try it. if I could give 10 stars I would. the brisket is excellent!!! give them a try.

This place is the best BBQ you will ever have around the Sevierville and Gatlinburg area. My husband and I travel 2.5 hours just to get it. Not only is the food good but the owners are the nicest I have ever met. Don't forget to check out the produce stand and the wood carving. As we say in the south you all come back and God bless. read more
