    Food was awesome, very cheap but good. The waitress was very friendly, waiting time after making the order was about 15 minutes. The ambiance is peaceful, quiet. Perfect place to stop an having lunch if you are driving in the area

    Loaded Potato

    Sweet over pulled pork, we all just tried the pork and the medium sauce is not much heat. We had a special potato and it was huge but don't care for it when the baker takes on that off white been around a bit color. Service was quick. Building was alluring from the exterior, inside did not seem to match. They do have a long handicapped ramp.

    Sampler dinner!

    Maybe an off day today. Waitress wasn't super friendly. Ordered the rib eye sandwich special with potato salad and beans. Sandwich was fatty and bone dry (had to go up and ask for bbq sauce), potato salad is always good and the beans would be better hot - or even warm. Waitress never checked on us. I'll be back - everyone has an off day.

    Shredded pork w/ side of baked beans and potato salad

    Finally got to try this restaurant out after visiting Dale Hollow many times in the past. They were usually always busy when I wanted to go before, ate dinner a bit early so had no problem getting in yesterday evening. I got the shredded pork with baked beans and potato salad, the meal was excellent! The bbq sauce is like drenched in the pork and to me that's what makes it very tasty and different from other bbq restaurants, you don't even need extra sauce, has plenty on it! The staff working here were all very nice and checking up to make sure we had everything we needed. Sat outside on the deck which was very nice. If you're ever in the Celina, Tennessee area and looking for some where to have good bbq for dinner, I recommend stopping here, I'd have a hard time believing you'd be disappointed! I wasn't!

    Meat was greasy and mealy, saturated the bun to mush immediately.

    We picked up 2 sandwiches to go. Husband ate his but was not impressed. Mine was inedible. Tiny serving of mealy meat on giant bun that turned to mush within seconds because of the grease, and I'm pretty sure that sauce was just a cup of more grease on the side. It looked and tasted like orange water. The pics of this place looked good and I normally wouldn't complain, but this was shockingly bad.

    Update: Since they moved locations the quality has diminished and unfortunately, this is no longer a 5-star. It's dropped down a few notches. The last two times we've visited it's been average, at best. Last time, the pork chop was so tough the knife wouldn't cut through it, although the chicken is still fair. Keep in mind, it's vinegar based sauce or bust. On thing to consider, in Celina, and in the surrounding towns this is still the best BBQ around. Below is my former review, which had 5-stars. Ironically, we had just ate lunch at Capps BBQ in Burkesville, KY, and had stopped at Dale Hollow 1 Stop to buy a fishing license when we noticed 1 Stop BBQ. After buying a one-day to trout fish the Obey River, I parked in front of the BBQ place drawing a concerned sign from my friend. "What are you doing," he said. "Aren't we headed to the river?" "We're going to lunch," I said. "Wait, we just ate lunch, didn't we?" nodded my friend. I told him to man up. These hole in the wall places make the best BBQ. From the outside, 1-Stop BBQ looks questionable. If you're from a big city you might be scared when you walk inside. This isn't a sit-down and order spot. and, there's likely going to be flies and blazing heat inside. Meanwhile, if you can look past that you might taste some of the best BBQ in the country. The BBQ here isn't fancy. In fact, everything is served in Styrofoam with plastic forks, but we came here for the BBQ not fine dining. This is perhaps some of Tennessee's best BBQ. While the sides aren't flashy (there's no corn pudding) and the decor gets an "F" - the meat earns an "A". In fact, I challenge you to find a better cooked half chicken, spare ribs, etc. The chicken is juicy, tender, flavorful and falls off the bone like you've never seen before and the spare ribs, take notice, this is how their suppose to be cooked. Yes, that good. Whether you're an out of towner or local, you'll be served with the same spoon here, your wallet won't go empty and you'll feel like you're part of the family. When headed to Dale Hollow Lake this is a must-stop.

We were not bothered by that but some people may certainly be bothered by it. The waitress came to the table and asked if we needed a menu, she brought silverware and asked us what we wanted to drink. It appeared there was one waitress and one cook. We brought our drinks and asked what we wanted to eat and I said I wanted to pancakes with bacon and the I said are you sure are pancakes are really large as she motioned to about the size of a plate. I said yes I want two of them and I could have done without the eye roll at not taking her suggestion. The hubby ordered biscuits and gravy, eggs, hash browns, and sausage. She brought out our meal and asked if we needed more coffee or tea. It was a good breakfast and there was plenty of food to eat. We left there satisfied and I am sure when we are back in the Celina, Tennessee area we will stop in here again.

    Oh my, I really wanted this place to be good. We just moved to Albany a few months ago…read more I love great BBQ. Unfortunately for me, this wasn't close to great or even good. Personally, I've been smoking meat for over 40 years. I truly understand the work that goes into creating the perfect smoked masterpiece. I ordered a $50. Combo. The pulled pork was good. The chicken was super dry, it was overcooked. The potato salad and slaw were flavorless. Overall, I was overwhelmed with excitement for the opportunity to eat some great food and I was completely let down with the lack of flavor and appearance. I was underwhelmed to be quite honest with you all out there in YELPland. I was told there is much better BBQ out here in Kentucky and I plan on finding those BBQ landmarks. I honestly can't recommend Hunter's. For me personally, they pretty much let me down. I really wanted my neighborhood smokehouse to be stellar, but it just didn't work out.

    I'm sorry but we stopped in Cave City for the night and this BBQ joint was right across the street…read morefrom our hotel. We walked over and got seated right away. It smelled great and the food we seen delivered to other tables also looked great. We got a sample platter with ribs and brisket. The ribs were over cooked and chewy and the brisket was a lot of fat. The sides were just ok. Maybe it was just an off day for them because I see a lot of great reviews. We stopped in later in the evening so that may be the reason the meats were off. Again, not thrilled with our meal here, but may give them another chance earlier in the day.

    First, I love a great BBQ joint that also offers tasty sides, which is hard to come by back home in…read moreNKy. My son and I both wanted to try the brisket so he got the platter and I chose the sandwich. I was told they make most of the sides that aren't fried options such as tater tots, which I was happy about. They had the classic barbecue sauce on the table as well as a spicy option. Both were equally delicious. My sandwich came on Texas toast, which is a fave. The portions were a great value as they do not skimp! The fried potatoes are made in house and they were delicious. Even though they don't make the onion rings in house they were also quite good. My one disappointment was, they don't make the majority of their desserts. And the menu states that their daughter-in-law Kayle makes different desserts daily and they didn't have that. They were actually out of several desserts, which was disappointing. Since the only ones they had were not ones made in house I chose to not get one. Since we live 3 1/2 hours away I guess I'll have to give it another shot for the dessert option next time around. Overall, the place was terrific and the folks were friendly. They have a salad bar in the middle of the floor, which is a nice touch. They have a very laid-back atmosphere and it is definitely family friendly. And you definitely get good size portions for the money.
