Went here on a weekday and wasn't too busy. When we in we were politely greeted with dine in or out. We chose to dine in. Food was good and plentiful portions. I ordered fried green tomatoes and a papas plate special which was alot of food. Sweet tea came in a route 44 Sonic size cup. Music was playing but it was quiet enough to chat while waiting for food. A lot of famous people have frequented centerpoint bbq and their pics are adorned on the walls along with autographs. Nice place, but in need of better parking, they are located on a busy Main Street read more

Drove by this local BBQ restaurant for some time and wanted to try it and finally did. Unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. The place is quaint reminds me of Cracker Barrel where it has antique knick knacks. I was greeted at the door by a friendly staff. I went in not knowing what to order or what they had. I went with the family value meal #1 which is a 1lb of meat and 2 pint sides($37-if pulled pork); went with brisket (surcharge of $10! Which they didn't tell me until I got to the register) and their turnip greens and vinegar coleslaw as sides. The brisket was dry and didn't have much flavor but the sides were good. For the surcharge it should've been better. It's local and I always try to support small, but for me this was a miss. read more

The sides were delicious, creative and yummy; the main courses not so much. We did arrive at 1:30 so it was a late lunch so the fact that the turkey and the brisket were dried out may have been the result. I figure if you are open for business you should always put your best out there. The meals were pricey so they should represent better. Ended up over $20.00 each. This was another try after similar results from about a year ago. I don't have to go back. The service was excellent! read more

One of our favorite places when we visit Tennessee. The prices have gotten higher but it is still worth it. We love the signed pictures by the celebrities. read more

AMAZING BBQ! Stopped in because I saw them on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives. Got the ham plate and it was by far the best ham I've ever had! The owner was also a hoot! :). Would definitely stop in again! Highly recommend :) read more

Center Point Barbecue - Ham plate w/Mac & cheese and green beans - Barbeque Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Overall not bad. The setting is a cozy classic country BBQ spot with nice staff. Tried two meat plate with 2 sides, of Sliced Brisket and pulled pork, fried Okra and turnip greens which was almost $30. The brisket was a tad dry, but not tough, and good flavor with a char edge. The pulled pork strangely did not have flavor, but was tender. Their mild sauce is a perfect vinegar BBQ sauce that was the saving grace for the pork. The fried okra was a big portion for the side (which I think cost extra), and the pieces are pretty heavy breading, but not soggy. The turnip greens had a slight sweetness to them, and were really soupy which is not my thing. There was a white sauce that came with the meal, which wasn't white BBQ, and seemed like a gravy of sorts that I've never had before. Tasted ok with the corn cake! Food was up quick for lunch. read more

The food here is pretty good and the hot sauce is incredible! The sad part is the pickled eggs. My father starting buying them when I was a kid and immediately became a fan. Now I'm my 40s I have been buying since I can remember. Even buying full jars often. However, when I ordered recently, OVER $4 per egg!! Are you kidding me? I know prices go up but $4 for ONE EGG. SHEESH. BE REALISTIC. Sadly last I visit. read more

Excellent BBQ. Center Point's BBQ is tender, not greasy and mildly smoked. I have sampled the pulled pork, ribs and turkey. All beyond excellent. The meat reminds me more of perfectly cooked pork roast rather than overly smoked greasy BBQ. Subtle works with BBQ. They make their own sauces, though in the watery side are very tasty. Watery means less foreign chemicals and starches. The restaurant itself is a clean 'dive' style restaurant. The staff is friendly and warm. I was treated more like a friend than a diner. read more

Avoid it. It gets press because of Diners Drive Ins and Dives but is glorified cafeteria food. There are old school joints that have been around forever cause they're simple and awesome and this is not one of them. A lack of options in Hendersonville drives people to praise mediocrity and this is another example. The prices are laughable considering what you're getting quality-wise. $26 for a two meat plate of this level is ridiculous. Brisket- 1/10 (tough, no flavor, not cooked right) Turkey- 2/10 (no flavor) Barbecue beans- 4/10 Coleslaw- 2/10 (grocery store mayo coleslaw) Service- 2/10 (teenage employees awkwardly greeting customers while sitting at the bar) Atmosphere- 2/10 Price- 1/10 ($26 dollars for two proteins and 2 sides was) read more

Center Point Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Not the worst BBQ we've had, but for southern BBQ, this was below average at best. The brisket was dry and weirdly the fat wasn't properly rendered, the ribs were tough and over cooked. We ordered mac and cheese and they came back and said they were out, so we got the white beans and some sort of weird pancake called cornbread. The beans were the best part of the meal, the "cornbread" dry and flat tasting. The sauces were also good, vinegar based and spicy both good and they did have a thicker sauce also good. There was not an ounce of passion or love in their meats, this made me sad for this place. That's what's missing in most places today, making sure people can taste the passion fashioned into their craft. Maybe we'll have better luck in Nashville. Not holding our breath though. read more

I often take my 97 year old mom to Center Point. We love to share the Three Little Pigs. Their vinegar slaw and Baked Beans are good too (especially if you accidentally drop a little of your BBQ in the beans :-). read more

Stopped by for a pulled pork sandwich and fries. Staff was super friendly, price was reasonable and wait was short. Unfortunately the buns they use arent good, they don't grill the bun so the meat just soaked into the bread. Without sauce you taste literally nothing from the pork and for being "pulled" it had a lot of h huge pieces. The bbq sauce was good but I just couldlnt finish the sandwich. Fries were delicious but that's about the only praise I can give on the food. I'll likely go back n try other menu items, but dont recommend the sandwich read more

It was well priced and the baked beans were super good. the meat was bland but not completely dry, you really have to rely on the bbq sauces for flavor. (Just a PSA that the mild and sweeter bbq sauces still have a nice little kick to them) my biggest complaint is the cornbread pancakes, mine was so dry it was crumbling and there was hardly flavor to it, definitely not the best one I have had in TN. It is only indoor seating and no shaded parking for those wondering about that. The staff was nice and helpful though. i have been on a mission trying as many BBQ joint in middle TN and this one is not the worst but it also was not the best, I will be placing it right in the middle at number 5/10. read more

Center Point Barbecue - BBQ Pulled Pork Platter with Baked Beans and Fries - Barbeque Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

We had takeout the first time we came (we were babysitting a toddler, no way was I going to eat in) so we got one of the family meals and the ribs were fantastic. So were the white beans and green beans. We came back to try a few more things on the menu. Guy Fieri has been here, and apparently Centerpointe was featured on an episode of diners drive ins and dives. ***YOU HAVE TO TRY THE FRIED GREEN TOMATOES *** Hands down the best ones I've ever had. I ordered a brisket plate, with their sweet and sour coleslaw and BBQ baked beans. The beans were amazing, cause I am not a huge baked bean fan and I nearly licked my plate clean. The slaw was a nice change from the regular slaw, but it's not for everyone. It's more of a rice vinegar type flavor, definitely sweet and tangy. The brisket was tender and tasty. The tables at Centerpoint come with 6 different sauces, so I tried them all. Thank goodness for the sweet tea, cause some of then were HOT. I make pickled eggs, so I had to try theirs. It was ok, nothing special. The other new thing for me was the cornbread. It's served like a pancake. I can't say that I liked it, as the shape allows it to dry out quickly. All in all, if you do nothing else, you have to try their fried green tomatoes. They were wonderful! read more

The food was great , the service was good . The only issue was being charged $1:20 for two cups of tap water with ice . If it had been bottled water it would have been different , but sixty cents per cup of tap water is above price gouging . Just the principal . We understand inflation but let's be reasonable here . read more

I ordered a brisket meal online. I ordered Mac n Cheese (I had to pay extra for it) and slaw for my sides. They called to say they were out of brisket so would sub a bigger portion of pulled pork!! Then when I got home, there was no slaw OR Mac n cheese, just 2 sides of beans!! So my meal was pulled pork as I did not want their beans. Sooooo disappointing and very expensive for what I received. Also NO side of corn bread patty that comes with a plate! None of the other meals had corn bread patty either! read more

I can't help but to rate this his bbq restaurant ! Everything is always GOOD. I try something different each time and it gets better and better.

Enough said. read more

I'm not sure what all the hype is about. I will preface this with I'm originally from St Louis where BBQ is taken pretty seriously and has some of the best BBQ joints in the country. So let's dive into the review: Our order was the beef brisket plate and a rack of ribs plate. Based on reviews and a feature in triple D I was expecting stellar BBQ. I was sorely disappointed. The brisket was mush and more like pot roast cooked in a crock pot than on a smoke pit. It had very little smoke flavor and absolutely no bark. The ribs were meaty and okay but missing smoky flavor. I did like that they were served wet with a little caramelized sauce on them. But the meat was a bit dry. The sides were hit and miss. BBQ beans and potato salad were really good but the corn on the cob and Mac & cheese were bland and unimpressive. They also serve something they call cornbread but they are more like cornmeal based Johnny cakes. Not bad but not cornbread. Service was friendly and fast. But for the money there is better BBQ out there. This is the type of local hole in the wall I typically love so I'm extremely disappointed. read more

My primary complaint about this barbecue restaurant is that it isn't closer to home. However, when I'm in Hendersonville if I don't eat in the restaurant, I'm usually bringing some home. Their pulled pork is very good. Their wings are outstanding. Potato salad and coleslaw are two of the best sides I've had anywhere. My only reason for giving them 4 stars vs 5, I'm not that crazy about their barbecue sauces. Maybe I'm not asking correctly, but haven't been able to come up with one I like. That's why I usually order to go and use my own sauce. Regardless, the food is so outstanding I can put up with a minor issue like barbecue sauce. read more

Wow , what a classic BBQ find! In Nashville , a city littered with BBQ joints, this one really stands out! This old place , with tons of autographed photos of country music legends on the wall(including karate pics of Elvis) takes you right in with beyond polite service and no frills sit down and eat atmosphere! the sides were great (mac and cheese , baked beans , cornbread in pancake form) these ribs were by far the best I have had in a long time including around other legendary places in Nashville . Most baby back ribs have like half the mest these ones had on them , and i thunk its the way they cooked the bbq sauce on them that made them sticky and special! I was told to go there and try the brisket, it wasn't bad but it didn't blow me away. the only thing that stops this place from 5 stars is that no matter what the , the bbq sauce at the table was vinegary and runny! The sauce that cane out in the ribs was thick and tasted way better . it may be the same sauce, but it was cooked so it was thick , or maybe its just different . Either way that was what I would have preferred over everything. Also, the sweet tea was great , and I appreciated even tho I didn't take her up on it, that the waitress asked if I would like a refill several times read more

Sooooo good! We stopped in a rainy night on our Tennessee adventure. We were warmly greeted. The young man that served us was attentive and friendly. We had the fried pickles to start. They were phenomenal! There is just the right amount of spices added to the batter to add to the flavor! They were perfectly cooked and not overly greasy. We had the brisket plate and and the ham plate. Our sides were the potato salad, slaw, baked beans, and Mac and cheese. They were very good!! The brisket was delicious but I loved the ham!! The cornbread flap cakes were good (I just wish they were a little warmer). We also had the brownie with ice cream. That was a nice ending to our meal. Service was attentive and very friendly. Ambience was exactly what I expected and what you would think!! This meal definitely made a trip out in such horrible weather worth it!! read more

I kept seeing this spot and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed. As an appetizer I tried the pork fires. I thought they were great and the portion was big. They can easily be a meal if you aren't sharing! For my meal I got the plate of minced pork with slaw and potato salad. The pork was really good, super tender. I tried all their BBQ sauces and loved the vinegar based ones. The slaw isn't or everyone, it's vinegar based. I liked it but couldn't eat to much of it. The service was good. We were attended by two waitresses and they were both really attentive. They kept our drinks topped off. If you are looking for good, authentic BBQ in the area... try this place out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Center Point Barbecue - Pecan Pie - Barbeque Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

I'm particular about BBQ. Being a Nashville native, I've had my fair share of some truly good BBQ. I definitely consider Center Point to be one of the best options in the Nashville area! It's never disappointed! I have eaten here plenty of times but a few days ago my family and I picked up some food to bring home. I ordered the pulled pork plate and was served a huge portion of meat! I loved how the pulled pork tastes here, too- it's not too fatty. Of all of their bbq sauces, the mild traditional is my favorite. But they also have plenty of others, like sweet ones and hot ones, and they make them all homemade. The fried okra here is good but honestly I'd pass on the Mac and cheese (it's just on the bland side). The green beans are tasty, too! I prefer a vinegar slaw and they have that here, as well as a creamy and spicy cole slaws. Oh and baked beans and white beans! Lots to choose from! My family also had brisket and they liked it! I've always been a pulled pork kinda girl so I stick with that. read more

Everything in the past stands. The difference is this review is based on new things. My girlfriend likes smoked bologna. So it was nearby, and I was leary but gave it a chance. Yes, it was good and has a tad of spice to it. The thing was we also tried the dirty dogs. Big fat smoked hot dogs with different toppings. They were some of the best hot dogs ever. I can not in good conscience give them a 5 on any review, but if you like hot dogs or smoked bologna, then they do those well. read more

The cornbread recipe has changed so has the potato salad recipe has changed as well if it's not broke don't fix it.......

What an unexpected surprise! So, we were heading out of Nashville to our lodging and said let's look for some TN BBQ. Using Yelp, this place had a 4-star rating. Without too much investigation, and starving. We mapped to this establishment. We were greeted with friendly staff, that offered a joke and hospitality. We moved into the dining room in the back since the front was full. To our surprise we saw a poster of Guy Fieri. We had no idea that this place had been on his show. We went on a Saturday for lunch and went back on Sunday before we left town....YUM!! We tried the BBQ pork (minced, which would be chopped in Memphis), smoked chicken breast, smoked hot dog, tomato red slaw, sweet/vinegar yellow slaw, french fries, baked beans, pickled egg, all the sauces, AND the smoked, glazed ham. OMG! Everything was awesome, except maybe the pickled egg. The chicken beast was a skin less, boneless chicken breast that was smoked with dynamite flavor. The pork was delicious; moist, yet airy and NOT wet or slimy. The slaw and beans were great, BUT what stole the show....HAM. It was freaking fantastic! It was sliced thin, tender, and almost melted in your mouth with seasoning that coated your mouth with yumminess! The glaze was traditional for a ham, yet slightly stronger and it was served in it like an au jus sauce. Fabulous all around!!! We're going back just to get a Christmas ham! read more

Great service and exceptional BBQ! They don't disappoint. I have taken groups their and they are very accommodating.

BEST HIGH I'VE EVER HAD! I have had this place twice now. 2nd time I came here after a long hard day at work, got a half rack of ribs, their slaw and beans and ate myself into a food coma by 8:45pm. Couldn't move...didn't want to. Their slaw is amazing for anyone who is a fan of creamy mayo based slaw, and their beans are worthy of their own religion. I've had several of their high praised BBQ joints in this area, and Center Point just goes to show that like cooking meat, the more time spent doing it, the better. read more

If you're looking for a good local BBQ place, look no further than Center Point BBQ! Very casual and inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. CPB has been a staple of Hendersonville for years and they have the signed headshots of country musicians lining the walls to prove it! You can't go wrong with the pulled pork, but I thought I'd branch out and try the brisket on our most recent visit. It was pretty good, albeit a little spicy. They also have several kid-friendly options. We will definitely be returning to Center Point BBQ whenever we have cravings for BBQ! read more
