It's hard to find a "GOOD" BBQ place, especially because I'm spoiled with my husbands delicious smoked meats. Even when we went to Texas, I wasn't impressed. Until now! Wow...these ribs may have been even better than my husbands. (Don't tell him I said that). They had just the right seasoning, smoke, and so moist and tender but yet you weren't fighting them falling off the bone. I am definitely impressed. Well Done! I didn't have the brisket but everyone in our party said it was Amazing!!! read more

This get points up from me for being a "guy with a dream" establishment. The owner and his wife did homebrewing (beer) and smoked meats as hobbies, eventually turning a barn beside their house into a brewpub that serves authentic BBQ. The inside seating is small, but a large pavillion out back gives you picnic tables and plenty of fellow travellers to talk to. The beers are brewed in small batches on site and were good. The Dark Sky stout was my favorite. My wife had the beef brisket, which was excellent, and I had the pulled pork, which was good (could use more smoke). The side dishes, BBQ slaw and beans, were excellent. We extended our vacation to come here... only open for the 4 day weekend! read more

Food was absolutely amazing! Owners were so sincere and I felt very taken care of. Inside seating is limited and make sure you get there early on the weekend before they run out. read more

We were traveling through the area and found this brewery on TripAdvisor. Upon arrival, I had my doubts since the entrance looked like a house driveway, but after finding the actual brewery, I was pleasantly surprised. It's a small brewery, but the beer was very good, and I can't say enough good things about the ribs--definitely get the ribs! We visited on a Saturday, and since the weather was so nice, we opted to sit outside at one of the picnic tables in the back. I would definitely visit again if I'm ever in the area. read more

"Wow. That looks amazing." "It is amazing. I promise you." It's very rare these days to come across a place where a guarantee from an owner is not hyperbole, or a flex of ego, but rather an understanding and confidence in their craft. Growing up in Missouri--and being well-traveled with frequent visits to family in Texas--means that I've come to have a certain level of expectation of what to expect from BBQ spots. For instance, meats may be on point, but the sides? Ehhh, a little "packaged and phoned in". Dear reader, I mean this when I say that I have no desire to mislead you: Creekside Brewing Company may be the best BBQ experience I've had. Ever. Some dear friends of ours have lived in Crossville for over a decade, and I've never seen them rave about a place like this. We just had to make it happen. The grounds and atmosphere are warm and inviting. It feels like home, which is fitting because it apparently is. Now, you'll have to trust me: Everything--I mean EVERYTHING--was exceptional. The attention to detail and seasoning of all elements were exemplary. You might imagine that with craft beer and smoked meat as the central focus, those sides could be an afterthought. No indeed! I was ANGRY after tasting the Loaded Baked Potato Salad because I don't think I've had something so good at a BBQ joint. I highly recommend the sampler: The brisket is to die for--only to be revived so you can indulge in the ribs and pulled pork. But HOW are they knocking it out of the park on the beer as well?! The Backwoods Irishman and Bobby D were smooth and delectable. Would've left with a growler if I could've checked it for our flight. If you're passing through between Nashville and Knoxville, don't just zoom through Crossville or settle on that Beaver Brisket alone. It's abundantly clear that this little gem, though not hidden, is a labor of love. read more

When nothing was open in Crossville I called this place and somebody answered the phone and was very nice and polite saying yes they were open and yes, they had food. We drove down and we're so glad we did. The beer was great. We tried three different kinds. The food was the most amazing Texas barbecue I've had in a long time. The inside was cozy and they had a nice sized covered outdoor patio as well. We will definitely be back. read more

Wow, was this a wonderful surprise! We had just visited some waterfalls and decided it was time to look for a local brewery. We stumbled upon Creekside brewing! It looked as if it was if someone's home, but after parking, we noticed that it was actually a separate building on the side of someone's Home property. I hear that it was a farmer with over 75 acres that ended up growing tired of farming and decided to go with his passion of brewing and barbecue. We walked in and we're welcomed by everyone! It's a very small place but has lots of seating area outside. They had a great selection of different beers for everyone and also had a great menu! I got the brisket nachos and it was so much food! You can tell they really know how to do barbecue! It did not disappoint! The owner was super friendly, laughed a lot and enjoyed what he did! We sat out on the property and enjoyed rolling Hills with hay bales, and people were welcome to bring their dogs and sit outside as well. This is the type brewery we are always looking for and will definitely visit again when we are back in Tennessee! It is a must try and must become a frequent or if you live in the area! Soooooooooeyyyyyy! read more

Today was our second visit to Creekside and it's some of the best beer and BBQ I've ever had and I'm a BBQ connoisseur! The owners are so friendly, atmosphere is so relaxing. Definitely a must try! read more

Love the country atmosphere! They offer a small indoor seating area and a larger outdoor seating area. They serve pulled pork, brisket, and ribs on the weekends. Their rotational craft beer selection is small, but mighty. The owners are friendly, like to joke, and provide great service. This is an excellent experience for locals and visitors alike. read more

If it looks like you're pulling into someone's driveway... you found the place. It looks like a homebrewing & BBQ hobby barn next to someone's house. There's a few tables inside, a picnic shelter behind, a gazebo, some free standing picnic tables and great country views of the surrounding fields. The BBQ here is absolutely super. We loved the pulled pork, brisket, BBQ beans, and cilantro coleslaw. I had the beer flight to try all six offerings and found two that I really loved. Kind of a crazy fun find and only 3.3 miles from my campsite. Enjoy! read more

Great bbq, the pulled pork and brisket were cooked perfectly with a tasty smoke flavor. Coleslaw and beans were both delicious also. Washed it all down with their Hop Rod IPA. Will definitely be back if we make it out this way again, and would recommend to anyone looking for a great food and brews read more

Very cool setting, feel like you are at your neighbor's house. Food was outstanding and very good beers on tap. A definite return when we are passing through... well worth the detour off I-40. read more

Found this on Yelp. Beautiful drive in the country to get there! Beautiful setting for a place to eat! My husband and I are Texans. We weren't too sure about the beef brisket since the best is in Texas. Well, this brisket was delicious! Lean, great dry rub, tender and well smoked! The pulled pork was good but we can't be an accurate judge since we're not from the south. Barbeque to us is beef with the only pork being hot links/sausage. The barbeque sauce was delicious, sweet but not too sweet with just the right amount of spice. Reminded me of the barbeque sauce at my favorite Texas barbeque restaurant. The beans were absolutely delicious, not sweet baked beans. Soo good! We didn't try the slaw or potato salad or beer since we don't drink but hope to try the slaw and potato salad the next time we go back. Enjoyed talking to the owners who are so nice. read more

This place is out in the sticks but for sure it's a gem of a place and I hope to be back again soon. All of the food was great and is described as follows..... - Brisket: this was moist, well seasoned and had good bark. - Ribs: tender, deliciously seasoned and fell off the bone. Loaded potato salad: just imagine a loaded baked potatoes served as a potatoe salad and that's what it is. Creamy and well balanced. Slaw: very different from the norm not overly wet and not dry. Just right. It goes great with the bbq flavor. Beer: smooth with good alcohol content and right amount of carbonation. Over all, very nice people running a great business. The countryside views and amazing recipes will leave you well satisfied. I highly recommend it. read more

BBQ is the best! Brisket nachos are my fave. Beers are made on site and amazing! Super casual and FuN place.

Still traveling and stayed in Crossville, TN. Met up with friends to find a brewery stop.... Creekside Brewing. What a find!! Stopped in on a rainy day... a small Brewery. They do have aMet Eric, the Owner. He explained why he wasn't producing their own beer now, mostly due to product shortages. But, they have plenty of guest taps and a menu. Walking in, we could smell the smoked brisket.... It made our mouths water. We asked for a "sample" taste. Eric, was so willing to accommodate our tastebud curiosity. His smoked Brisket & Pulled Pork was extremely tender, juicy and just melted in our mouths....... Awesome!! We took a pound of each back home. Definitely a good place to stop... for beers, BBQ and just good old good conversation. read more

Loved the atmosphere and the food was delicious! My husband is the beer drinker and he enjoyed the beer.

A great little nano-brewery with guest taps from around east and middle TN. Excellent pulled pork and brisket served on a pretzel bun with a scoop of cilantro lime coleslaw, crunchy fried onions and a side of their Tennessee honey sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. Both indoor and outdoor seating including a very cute gazebo and "bags" for those who want to play for who buys the next round! Try their delicious "big as your face" cookie! You'll be glad you did. One of the few places with food and beverage in the greater Crossville area open on Sundays!! Hooray! read more

Went to Creekside Brewing Company on Highway 127 to try their brisket. Oh my, oh my, it was amazing! The smoke on it was perfect, and the meat tender and juicy. The family running the restaurant are welcoming and passionate about their food. My husband and will definitely be back to try the brisket nachos! read more

Great little brewery! The owners are super friendly. We got there and meet with a lot of friends. We can even take our dog as there is outdoor seating. The food is delicious (bbq) and the place is cute! It's small, but so charming. read more

To start the whole set up is beautiful! The BBQ was 5 stars! Great place to hang out and have great food

Nice people, great food; the brisket platter was a generous serving of great brisket, and the pulled pork platter was far more than my wife could eat. Combine that with the beautiful setting for their outdoor dining and it's become one of our new favorite places. read more

The food might have been good, the beer might have been good. This IS NOT a camper, bus, anything larger than your standard vehicle friendly kind of place. Despite no signage prohibiting larger vehicles. I am assuming the owner is who we spoke with and to not repeat his behavior all I will say is he was nothing short of rude. After our exchange with him we decided our meal should be elsewhere. If you do decide to try this place be sure to park across the street! read more

Peaceful and friendly. Great family business. Atmosphere is fun. Food is incredible. Beer is outstanding. Views of the rolling land are gorgeous. Love it!! read more

Reasonably priced and legit BBQ. Ordered the sampler plate,which they advertise feeds 2-3. It will easily feed 4 for $42. Everything was on point. Coleslaw was not Mayo based and delicious. All the meat was amazing. read more

Super clean, friendly and the owners are amazingly friendly and accommodating. My cousin and I had the Brisket Nachos which were AMAZING. Their Brewery had a large selection of beers and they definitely know what they're doing. People there are friendly and we had a GREAT time. A HUGE shout-out to Eric and Rashaell Anderson, they ROCK Creekside Brewery. read more

This place is a must for local BBQ. Make sure to go early because they are so good, that they sell out quickly.

Great craft beers! Will definitely come back here again. Everything we tried was awesomely. The food was great too. Get there early before they run out of food for sure. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Don't miss this hidden gem. read more

Hands down, best place for food and beer. I keep trying to get a shirt to advertise them, but those only seem to come in small or XXXL, lol. read more

Very scenic property and tiny establishment, although they fit seating for about ten inside and there are picnic tables outside under a gazebo type structure. Very friendly service. We were happy to see the decent sized menu of beers to choose from and I settled on the IPA while my wife tried a flight of their craft beers. We also ordered the brisket plates. Food took a reasonable time to come out and looked great. Unfortunately, the brisket had a chemical aftertaste, like possibly a lighter fluid, although it was very tender and there was plenty of it. The beans were way, way too salty for us, but delicious otherwise. The cole slaw was a spicy, full bodied slaw, without the standard Mayo-type base and would probably surprise someone ordering who were expecting a typical slaw. I don't mind new experiences and this one was just ok. The beers were all surprisingly very mediocre. They really can't compare with any of the other microbrews in the area (Swing-On, Calfkiller, etc). The best of the lot was the IPA, which I would order again but was not as bitter or flavorful as your typical IPA and would probably disappoint an IPA lover. All in all, a really nice place run by nice folks, but I think both the food and beer could be tweaked a bit to compete with the amazing BBQ and beers around the Crossville area. read more

Tim S from Dunlap Tn What a treat. Small quaint but big on flavor both the beers and the food. I had a brisket sandwich, it was awesome. I sampled three of their beers, very good very creative. Nice people living the American dream. With passion. read more

Amazing brisket tacos! Three well portioned tacos along with probably the best beans I have had! The passion fruit IPA is something too good and not to be missed.

A great little family run brewery with amazing BBQ. We tried the ribs, brisket, and pulled pork... all were most and well smoked with oak. Sides of slaw and homemade dill pickles finished the meal. Tried both the porter and IPA both were tasty and well crafted! A definite return!! read more
