Friendly and fast service, which is perfect. You just park real quick and then you're home enjoying your food. I love that the food is always delicious and consistent. The area has been experiencing snow flurries, rain, and lightning and this past Sunday, Constant Smoke closed early at 5 pm and will be closed the rest of the week due to weather. I am counting the days! With that said, calling ahead wouldn't hurt if storms are forecasted. read more

I picked up a rack of ribs a little early, 4:30, on Wed. Kept them warm in a 200 degree oven for 1.5 hours and they were delicious! The flavor was spot on and they were tender. read more

Love the food!! We live nearby and I drive by this place every single day as it's directly on the main road of Lebanon Pike. So happy we stopped here for some lunch on Memorial Day! The food is absolutely delicious & big portions! My brother and I both had the bbq chicken, which is grilled and then cut open.. stuffed with cheese and brisket, then wrapped in 3 pieces of bacon & thrown right back on the grill! Sheesh . Huge shoutout to the owners whom are super friendly + welcoming! 5 stars across the board! Great choose of music playing, too!! We will absolutely be back with friends & family, thank you so much!!! read more

Not great, as anticipated. I bought 2 lbs of brisket; Definitely a little short on meat. The flavor was ok but the meat was not cooked tender. Disappointed: all the way around. read more

Constant Smoke BBQ - "One?" Pound of brisket with juice - Barbeque Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

Oh my goodness. This place has the best ribs and brisket ever. Don't take my word for it. Try them. The sides are great too. When friends come to Nashville, we order in from Constant Smoke. So Good! read more

First time me and my gf tried it out (recently moved to the area). WOW... this was incredible. Insanely better than the chain BBQ joints around Nashville. I got the brisket sandwich and she got the BBQ nachos. Coleslaw and potato salad were out of this world. WE WILL BE BACK! read more

Constant Smoke BBQ - two containers of food - Barbeque Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

EXCELLENT BBQ! Nashville MUST TRY!!!! (read below how we found this place) Wife and I both ordered the Brisket platter with Baked Beans and Coleslaw. We were in heaven after the first bite...seriously, I like to say that I am a BBQ expert and I would easily say that I never had any better! The Brisket was slow smoked and tender with a burnt edge. He added a little sauce on top that was perfect. It was light and not to sweet with a little spice (no heat). OMG...I could go on and on! The Beans and Coleslaw took a back burner but were not bad. Both were just a good component as a side. I wouldn't write about either of them. Of course I had to compliment the owner (unfortunately I didn't get his name). Of cousre, he was Tennessee friendly along with the great accent. He said, "Now, I am just saying this but "my Ribs are the best ever". I sell them only by the Full Slab and I know you probably wouldn't want BBQ twice in one day." I said, "You don't know me. I can eat BBQ every day. So, give me a slab to take with us." He wrapped the slab in a special Aluminum Foil wrap that was made specifically for a slab of ribs. During the ride back to the RV (see below), I could smell the smoke and knew it was going to be good. Later that evening we warmed a half rack up for 2 of us. We had to use the microwave (aghhhhhhh) but they still turned out to be the ABSOLUTELY BEST RIBS EVER!!! SERIOUSLY...INCREDIBLE! How we found CONSTANT BBQ! We are on vacation in our RV and visited Andrew Jackson's Hermitage. We have tried all of Nashville food excluding BBQ. I searched for BBQ restaurants and several in downtown area appeared. We are staying closer to Hermitage than downtown. I didn't want to drive back and forth in traffic. So...I kept searching for a closer place. Well, I noticed a "Famous Daves" restaurant very nearby and "Constant BBQ" that was rated high but it was a food truck style with picnic tables in a gazebo type setting. I told my wife about it thinking she wouldn't want to try it. Surprisingly, she said "we are on vacation, let's g for it!". Well, I will say that it was one of the best decisions we made in 3 weeks of vacation! I will remember this meal(s) over more than all the others combined! So...to end, the food and even the outside seating is great for a BBQ place! I personally would put this place as a must visit along next to Hatties-B hot chicken. It is a NASHVILLE MUST TRY! Don't let the "food truck vibe" scare you! read more

Almost missed Constant Smoke because we were looking for a store front. Constant is in a good trailer. In a plumbing supply store parking lot. Glad we turned around. Great hospitality and best BBQ. We enjoyed the BBQ Brisket Sandwich plates. I picked baked beans and coleslaw. Decent sized lunches. I was hungry and wished I had paid the extra for the Jumbo portions. Constant has a small, covered deck big enough for a picnic table. Weather was nice so we enjoyed our lunch outside. For the owner of this gem of a BBQ stand, I'll give him a GO TITAN's. read more

Constant Smoke BBQ - The BBQ Shack! - Barbeque Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

Some of the best BBQ I have ever had. Was recommended by another local and the most solid recommendation ever given. Set up is a small trailer and has a small patio set up off the side to sit down in, but great to grab & go. Service was quick! I'm a saucy girl, especially with BBQ but this spot has one of the best sauces, and ONLY sauce as far as I know. It isn't super sweet, not too thin or thin. Perfect compliment to the meat. Huge fan!! read more

Solid Barbecue! Good sausage, beans, and potato salad. The owner was very nice as well. I would come here again.

I got a pulled pork sandwich combo with mac&cheese and baked beans..the meat was tender and that's the only good thing I can say about the food... read more

Smoked Meats, 5/5. Sides, 2/5. Got the Pulled Pork Sandwich and the Brisket. Loved the both. Great flavor, portion size and value. I don't know how he keeps his prices so reasonable. The owner is super friendly, as lots of people mention. The sides are pretty boring (we got the potato salad and beans), but you didn't come here for the sides! Next time we're going to order by the pound because it's so good you'll want extra. read more

Here we are pulling up to a restaurant starving only to find out they were a victim of the flood. Diving back into Yelp we found this place and seen it was closing in 12 minutes and we were 9 minutes away. We called the number listed and expect the wort. We received the opposite, he said "come on, I will hold the door for you" We arrived and were undecided about what we wanted so we ordered everything on the menu. The fella thought we were crazy but was incredibly accommodating. We hauled tail back to the camp ground and proceeded to get our eats on. read more

I used to eat here all the time when I lived near by and never forgot how delicious it is! I stopped the other day and picked up pork and brisket, currently eating leftover brisket and its better than it was the day I bought it! Seriously melt in your mouth! We also picked up the macaroni and 5 cheeses! Five stars for the five cheese mac! I need to make a special trip over there more often. read more

Awesome food stop by and you will not regret it and bring your appetite. It is a shack on the side of road putting out good eats read more

Every time family comes to see me in Nashville I take them here. This time I had my cousin and two nieces. We got chicken, pork, and brisket sandwiches. Everyone left happy. This is a must stop if you are anywhere in the area. I recommend any sandwich, nachos, AND ALWAYS the ribs! read more

Long day of work and the two of us were starving. Grabbed 2lbs of pulled pork, and 2 lbs of the brisket. 53$ after tax, the bag felt too light to to fill my craving, let alone have to share. Less the container weight, and we were over half a pound short. Pork is SUPER smokey, more so than the other places around town. Brisket was tasty, but wasn't the melts in your mouth, make you wanna holler... cut we were hoping for Operator super friendly read more

The yummiest brisket served by the nicest guy...what more could you want? The smoked sausage is also a high recommend!

Wish I would have read the 1 star reviews before I went. We have driven past so many times since moving to the area we figured we would stop well I've never been so disappointed. I've gotten better BBQ from a gas station!! Don't waste your money. They seriously must have gotten their friends to give a bunch of good reviews because the food is crap. read more

Pulled pork is juicy and flavorful and the ribs were the best I've ever had. The BBQ sauce is sweet and tangy and mild enough for me (although they go much hotter!) and even though the hickory smoked meats don't need it, it's so yummy you will want to go ahead and pour it on. I feel like a fat kid going on and on about ribs and bbq as it's really not my style, but this place has made me a believer. BEST BBQ IN TOWN read more

Constant Smoke BBQ - The Butt Hut - Barbeque Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

Great small business that has been in the community for years. The jumbo pulled pork sandwich is the go to for me. Definitely will be coming back for more. read more

Wow! Everything was delicious. Tender brisket, fall off the bone ribs, and the pulled pork disappeared first. Nice smokey flavor without being overpowering. Really good baked beans and potato salad. Personally didn't care for the coleslaw but I generally don't. Seemed creamy with a good crunch so if you like that go for it. They aren't lying when they say you don't need the sauce, but it was a good compliment. The hot one is hot! To go food only. No seating. However they hooked us up because the owners are the friendliest people ever!! read more

Food was great! I had the pork, my husband had the brisket-- yummy! They has a pulled chicken which is not listed in the longline menu and ribs too. Great food, music while you wait Definitively a must try! read more

BBQ from a trailer? Yup. And it is darn fine BBQ too! Certainly one of the best BBQs East of Nashville. Sausage is literally one of the best I have ever had. Brisket is tender with a tasty bark. Ribs are smoked perfectly. Outdoor picnic seating only. Get some take-out on the way home and enjoy it for dinner. read more

The best! Very smoky, no sauce needed.

Here in town for one night. Checked out Yelp and found this BBQ shack/truck. Two of us shared a rack of ribs, sausage, potato salad and beans. We ate half of everything and have leftovers for tomorrow. Well....maybe if one of us doesn't sneak in and finish it all off at midnight. Succulent rib meat that fell off the bones accompanied by a lovely sauce that was an extra since you didn't need it. May be the best ribs I've ever eaten. And trust me, I've eaten ribs! Potato salad and beans were a great accompaniment. Made us wish we lived closer. read more

Hands down some of the best bbq you can buy! Every time I visit i am not disappointed :)

Best BBQ that I've had outside of Texas!! I had the jumbo smoked brisket sandwich and I must say that although it comes with either spicy or regular sauce there's no sauce necessary!!! The brisket is perfect on its own. The baked beans and potato salad were good too. Highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for great BBQ!! read more

Constant Smoke BBQ - Great spot!! - Barbeque Near Me - Hermitage, Tennessee

Best Bar b que in Nashville! Brisket is nationally recognized. Pork sandwich is beyond excellent also. You can taste the hint of smoke in the meat that is perfectly cooked; not to dry not to moist. If you are in this area, or want top of the line BBQ this is the spot. read more

Love this little bbq stand. We stop by every time we are nearby. We love our bbq and I'm very picky about it. The owner really knows how to cook and how to serve his pulled pork sandwiches. The sandwiches are piled high with really great pork and a really tasty sauce. We always ask for coleslaw on our sandwiches and that too is de-lish. The owner is a very jovial guy and always treats us right. I have read the other reviews and it makes me want to try everything but it's hard to beat those warm, generous and tasty sandwiches. read more

Drive slow or you will zip past it. Great BBQ shack. Loved the Pork and the Smoked Sausage was exceptional. Friendly with great food. You cannot go wrong here. A must stop for lunch or take home a couple pounds for the family. read more

Got the pulled pork combo with Potato Salad and Baked beans. Only thing that was actually good was the Potato Salad. It was the only thing I finished. The Baked Beans wasn't good. I think Bush's Baked Beans would have been better. . My husband had brisket Combo. He said it was okay. I've had better for less but We Won't be back. read more
