Da lawd has blessed this establishment with glorious barbeque. Sausage was a surprise hit among my group, smokey and delicious bite size slices. Brisket was tender and succulent. Ribs weren't fall off the bone but the addicting smokey flavor of them made up for that and more. Fries were crispy and tasty, alongside the fried mac n cheese which was piping hot and heavenly. Denny was a gracious host - regaling us with tales of his old bar in Ohio, and Kelly was an excellent waitress. A dum dum to go and a knee-slapper shirt and we were very happy customers. read more

Delauders BBQ is one of those restaurants where you can't judge it based on appearances. This place has so much to offer and amazing food to share. As soon as we walked in, we were met with smiles and a warm welcome. The restaurant atmosphere is rustic and clean, and it really seems like a good spot for the locals as well as out of towners looking for a great place to eat. The food was excellent; it was our first time having corn nuggets, which we enjoyed, and the cheddar jalapeño bites were an awesome touch. We got the pulled pork nachos, the two meat platter, and the brisket dinner. In every entrée, the pork was smoked or cooked to absolute perfection. There's a reason this restaurant has 5 stars and great reviews, I cannot recommend this great place enough. read more

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE! We came on a Saturday night and we're presently surprised that there was no wait time or line. Had me concerned at first, but the reviews were too good. The food was top notch. We had the BBQ nachos and a brisket sandwich with fries. The nachos has a ton of pulled pork and plentiful toppings. The brisket sandwich was also stuffed with quality meat and topped with their BBQ sauce was just amazing after a long day of hiking. Their fries also had a great seasoning that I loved. You can tell they love what they do and use quality ingredients. Also such a reasonable place and great value IMO The service was amazing. True southern hospitality, always checking in on us. Such kind people. They have the restaurant decorated with cute farmhouse style decor you can tell has been collected overtime. We are off paper plates and plastic silverware and felt right at home :) read more

Delauders BBQ - BBQ nachos and brisket sandwich with fries - Barbeque Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

***Warning*** Honestly I fell for this trap due to the high reviews which was really disappointing. The food was terrible. Which left me wondering if these are Robo reviews. I had the brisket dinner I couldn't even finish the meat tasted like it had been nuked in the microwave. My brother who also got the same ended up calling it fish brisket due to all the scale looks the meat had I've should have known better since we didn't see any smoke or smokers, a telltale. Anyways if you're coming from foodie city this will be a huge disappointment. Also it's cash only. read more

Nice staff, arguably the best pulled pork sandwich I've ever had... and I'm from Memphis! Limited seating and if you have more than 6 in your party I would call first and make sure they can/will accommodate you. I'll be back! read more

Great food and friendly staff. Loved the pulled pork, ribs, fried mac-n cheese, potato salad and green beans. Felt like we were at their home for a Sunday BBQ. read more

The service was excellent and it is a family run business making it very welcoming. The ambiance and decor was unique... very crowded with lots of clutter and could use an update. We got our food at a decent time and didn't have to wait too long but they did forget our drinks (they made up for that with the quick refills). We were excited to try this place since it has such amazing reviews but where we felt super dissatisfied was with the quality. We got the sampler so that we could try a little bit of everything. The chicken was so rubbery and practically raw it was very disappointing. The pulled pork was decent but along with everything it lacked flavor. The one thing I was looking forward to the most was the smoked brisket but it was very very over cooked and dry so a huge let down. The ribs were okay... nothing amazing but nothing terrible. The food overall had a good Smokey flavor but lacked even salt which made it very hard to enjoy. The things we liked the most was the smoked sausage and the tater tots. read more

An excellent bbq establishment near the Smoky's. The wait can be long. There are only a handful of tables. Cash only. The Q is solid. Great Smokey flavor in the meats. Vinegary bbq sauce - a tad runny for my tastes. The Mac n cheese with a crunchy crust is a variation I appreciate - it's really good! The baked beans were solid. Prices are reasonable. Location is an old gas station. Service is friendly. Would return next time I'm in the area. Worth a visit if you're looking for some Q after a good hike. read more

Delauders BBQ - Ribs, brisket, Mac n cheese, baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Well, I'll be! I'm originally from this county and was staying up here for President's Day Weekend. I didn't want to wait an hour and a half to eat supper, so I found Delauder's on Yelp. 5 stars is well deserved! If you want something froo froo or however you spell it, don't come. But if you want some DELICIOUS food, you gotta come, but don't tell anyone because I don't want to wait! Kind folks were serving, the ambiance is an old country store/gas station and I honestly wouldn't change it much to try and fit in with the fancy places. The only thing I'd change is making sure the bathrooms are spic and span. Otherwise, I'm hear to say the pork belly sandwich, the brisket, the chicken sandwich, the Mac n cheese, the GREENS, & the baked potato #6 are delicious!!! Can't wait to come back... read more

Yes, the hype is real! Don't be fooled by the appearance (and you shouldn't because most legit places are like this!), Delauders is the real deal. The 5 meat sampler was for sure the way to go. Ribs were so smoky, brisket and pulled pork cut like butter, and the plain chicken breast was surprisingly good! The mac n cheese was the best I had on my trip to TN and the collards were on point. Don't skip on the fried bologna either-- definitely the best I've had. Cash only so come prepared! read more

Place was no where to be found. Appears on maps but no in real life. Tried calling the posted number it remained busy.

A true hole in the wall with excellent food, and good prices. i definitely recommend the ribs

Amazing food and a great value!! The brisket was so tender and flavorful. Everything was fantastic and the people were so friendly. It's a small bbq place, just as we weee looking for. They could take our card that day, but be prepared to pay with cash. read more

I would give this place 50 stars if I could. Hands down the best food I have had my entire time here. The staff are friendly and check on you often. The food is AMAZING to say the least and each time it was fast service and presented like it would be in a magazine. The amount of food you get is astounding. And all of The fun animals and TVs are so much fun to look at. Every time you turn your head your looking at something new and creative. read more

I found Delauders BBQ on a list of top 50 BBQ joints to try in the US. Yelp users seemed to agree with a very high rating so I had to take an opportunity to try Delauders while in Gatlinburg. Needless to say, Delauders had high expectations to fill. First of all, this is a hole in the wall that is not located near the main strip of Gatlinburg. So traffic was a lot lighter and no walkers (pedestrians not the zombies from the Walking Dead). But there is not many tables in Delauders so expect a wait. I was handed a menu while I waited and my waitress took my order before I was seated. I chose pulled pork and ribs with beans and fried mac and cheese for my entree. It was all good and some highlights from my meal include: ribs could not be torn apart by hand but was easy to chew which was weird for me; beans were homemade with a tangy twist; fried mac and cheese was surprisingly cheesy despite looking otherwise; brisket must be the star of the joint since it was sold out aftet I arrived 2 hours after opening; and pulled pork was a good, solid pork. I am not kidding about being unable to tear my ribs with my own hands. However, there was little help to be found as Delauders only has plasticware. At least the ribs were delicious and easy to chew, which seems contradictory to the hard time I had tearing my ribs. There are 2 sauces - the sweet tomato vinegar on the table but the more flavorful hot that has a sweet flavor with a habanero kick. I thought the hot sauce was outstanding but be warned, I would rate it a 6 on my heat scale with 1 being little heat and 10 being painful. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Be warned....no employees were seen wearing masks. Delauders is a good better than average BBQ hole in the wall. I felt like expectations were too high though but anyone that eats here should find satisfaction. read more

Gonna echo what others have said--if it weren't for the reviews about the food, I probably wouldn't have eaten here based on how the place looks inside. The BBQ is legit, really good, no complaints there. But honestly, walking in felt like stepping onto the set of Hoarders. It's almost like they're trying to keep the place a secret just for locals. I'm not asking for marble bars or crystal chandeliers--just clear out the boxes and put the tools and random stuff away. When a restaurant looks that unkept, it makes people wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. The food is great, so why not take a little more pride in the actual restaurant too? Just a suggestion. read more

Im not really the review things on yelp kind of guy but this place deserves every bit of the 5 stars I'm reviewing it. Brisket was juicy without being too fatty, and Smokey flavor was awesome. Fried Mac n cheese was very cheesy and was seasoned in a way to balance it out. Baked beans and green beans were great as well. My girlfriend got a pulled pork sandwich with a sweet habanero sauce that was awesome. Would also like to note I'm from Texas and we don't dole out compliments on barbecue easily especially if it's in a different state . The family that owns and operates the place (and their friends) definitely work their ass off, but still take the time to make you feel at home and are all genuinely very sweet. Definitely deserves a visit if you at all like barbecue. The kind of good that shows you just how much you can eat lol read more

Delauders BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Five stars for this cute little family joint! We arrived early, because after reading some reviews I did not want them to run out of food. We were promptly greeted by the owner, Mr. DeLauder, and he was very kind asking us how we were doing. Once we were inside, this place was definitely a no fuss joint! There were just tables all over, very little Decor, but very cute! You can tell, that they take pride in their restaurant and that the whole family works there. They are so polite, especially the son. I believe that they strive to give you five star service at their establishment. Their brisket, I just had to taste it. It was the best brisket I had ever had! The barbecue sauce was very light and not overpowering, but very flavorful. The fried mac & cheese, well you can taste that it was fried! It was very rich and Delicious. We also got fried okra and jalapeño poppers. The jalapeño poppers were delicious! They had a little spice to it, it almost tasted like nachos with jalapeños. The sweet tea was awesome and fresh, they also give you a little dumb dumb lollipop as your dessert! I thought that that was the cutest little touch ever! It is always the little things and the details that make a place stand out from another. The sweet tea was awesome and fresh, they also give you a little dum dum lollipop as your dessert! I thought that that was the cutest little touch ever! It is always the little things and the details that make a place stand out from another. This restaurant was about 30 minutes from where we were staying but we made sure to give ourselves plenty of time to drive there and make sure that we were there by the opening time so that we could have fresh food and have them not run out. A lot of people that were traveling made it here, due to the reviews. I truly enjoyed the family and Mr. DeLauder's funny stories. Will definitely again if we are ever in Gatlinburg. read more

If you are in the area if the Great Smoky Mountains and are looking for somewhere with good bbq that's outside the tourist area, I suggest Delauders. This place is small so it maybe a good idea to visit at an off time of the day or order carryout. We got lucky and were able to get one of the few tables available without waiting. To order food, you are given a menu but asked to walk up to the counter to order. When the food is ready, it is brought to you. Not sure why they choose to do it that way but it was fine. Hubby and I both ordered the beef brisket dinner which comes with two sides and a roll (which is actually a bun). The beef brisket was smoked and tender. The amount was also very reasonable. Hubby and I both ordered the fried Mac and cheese - it was good but I was expecting more. I got the coleslaw which was some of the best I've had. Hubby got the baked beans and he thought they were alright. Overall, we enjoyed our food and our experience was fine. I did think it was a little expensive though. If visiting the area again I would probably go back. read more

Stopped by to try this place out on 7/28 at around 7pm but no luck as they were closed. Yelp says 8pm but the place looked clearly closed. Its a bit out of the way from all the touristy areas (which we were visiting) so it was a little disappointing to spend the extra time to come out here. Might be a good idea to call ahead if you're going to try to come out there an hour before closing on Sunday. read more

Forget all the BBQ places,like Bennett's, and go to DeLauters- this IS the best BBQ! Exceles food and portions were big!

Small, so you may have to wait a bit, but the BBQ is well worth it. Get there early as they sell out! Friendly service too!

Got takeout a month ago after seeing the good reviews. Being from Kansas City, I feel I'm a pretty decent judge, and WOW! Everything was amazing, we got the sampler plate. The ribs fell of the bone, pulled pork and brisket were perfectly cooked and weren't overly fatty. The baked beans and other sides were great too. My only regret is that I couldn't eat any more when I got full. read more

Service with a smile and some of the best BBQ I've had and I've eaten it all over the country. Pulled pork was moist and flavorful. Slaw and beans were just as tasty as my moms. And the delightful little sweet corn nuggets hit the spot! Definitely made with love! read more

The place was small on the inside and does not seat many people, so you may have to wait a bit to get seated. The food smelled amazing from the second we walked in and tasted just as great! I had the three meat platter and subbed in brisket for sausage for a small fee. The pulled pork, ribs, and brisket were delicious. The Mac and cheese was absolutely amazing as well! I don't think I took a breathe I ate so fast, it was that good! They also started taking credit card which was good for us as we did not have any cash since we came right from hiking all day in the Great Smokies. I would highly recommend this bbq spot that is a bit off the beaten path. read more

Delauders BBQ - Three meat platter (pulled pork, ribs, and brisket) - Barbeque Near Me - Sevierville, Tennessee

Outstanding BBQ with big portions. The staff is polite and prompt. A very good spot with a great reputation it has earned.

A great family owned restaurant with food that is so dang good. We've been trying to eat here for 3 years now...before they moved to their new location it was tough to catch them before they ran out of food. Talking with the owner today, the new space offers lots of food storage and bigger smokers so it's much easier to getcha some! Hubby had the 5 meat sampler but they were out of sausage so they gave him extra ribs instead. He also got fried Mac n cheese which had great flavor! I got the nachos and they were yummy. I probably would have preferred a little less lettuce but that's just my personal preference. We got a bologna sandwich to go and the meat on that was crazy. It was the thickest slice of bologna I've ever seen, topped with pulled pork. I love supporting local businesses. This place is so much better than anything you'll find on the strip. Eat where the locals eat. We will return every time we are in town. read more

Yelp didn't lie. The locals were on point and the taste test, fire!!! No lie, might be the best barbecue I've ever had. Let's start with the hospitality, second to none. A gentleman who greeted us was very warm and hospitable. Everyone, including a sweet older lady who brought us our order was so sweet and kind. Let's talk about the food, the Mac-n-Cheese Tots we're legit! Crispy on the outside, nice and golden and soft and cheesy on the inside. The Fried Mac might have been the best I've had ever, so cheesy and tasty. The best combo was the pulled pork and baked beans. Let me tell you the pulled pork hands down best I've had. So flavorful, juicy and if you add some of bbq they have on the table it comes together so well. Here's the kicker, take the pulled pork and put some of it in the baked beans and mix it together, wow wow wow!!! Fire!!!! Take some of the side bread and put some pork on the bun and some bbq and fold in two, another legit combo. Nothing but positives about this mom and pop place. Best BBQ in the city. read more

Ah, Delauder's BBQ in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Yes, yes, yes. It's a marvelous place, full of wonderful flavors and textures that are sure to excite your taste buds and tantalize your senses. I had the pleasure of dining there recently, and let me tell you, it was a fantastic experience. First off, the atmosphere of Delauder's BBQ is just perfect.

The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they really go out of their way to make sure that your dining experience is top-notch. And the food? Oh, the food is simply divine. I started off with the pulled pork, which was so tender and juicy that it practically melted in my mouth. The BBQ sauce was tangy and sweet, with just the right amount of spice to keep things interesting. And the ribs? Well, let me just say that they were some of the best ribs I've ever had. The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender, and the smoky flavor was out of this world. But the real star of the show at Delauder's BBQ is the brisket. Oh, my goodness. The brisket is something truly special. It's cooked low and slow for hours, until it's so tender and flavorful that you'll want to eat it by the pound. And the bark on the outside? Perfectly crispy and caramelized, with just the right amount of seasoning. It's a true work of art. And let's not forget about the sides. The mac and cheese is creamy and delicious, with just the right amount of cheese. The coleslaw is fresh and crunchy, with a tangy dressing that perfectly complements the BBQ. And the baked beans? Oh, the baked beans. They're sweet and smoky, with chunks of pork mixed in for good measure. I could eat a whole bowl of those beans and be perfectly happy. All in all, Delauder's BBQ is a must-visit for anyone who loves good BBQ. The food is outstanding, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting. And did I mention the banana pudding? It's the perfect way to end your meal, with its creamy texture and sweet, banana flavor. So if you find yourself in Gatlinburg, do yourself a favor and head on over to Delauder's BBQ. You won't be disappointed. read more

Probably the best bbq in town. We ordered a few of the dinners to feed our group of 9, so had a good sampling of pork, sausage, ribs and brisket. You know it's good because it's a pretty inconspicuous location in an old gas station. Easy to miss. The pork had really good flavor and the ribs were tender with just enough pull to them, but not mushy. Great sides too with the Mac & Cheese and potato salad. The rolls for the sandwiches weren't great, but you didn't need them. read more

You know you're in the right barbecue joint when your mind stalemates on whether you should put Delauders' amazing, homemade BBQ sauce on your brisket or eat it just as it was prepared, because it is superb in it's purest form. Simply put, this is the best brisket.... EVER. You don't believe me?! I have had my share of barbecued cow parts in my days, and I'm telling you with the utmost sincerity this is the best brisket ever, and if you so much as think you've had better, than please DM me as I need to be your friend and eat at your places... Or properly call you a liar to your face. The BBQ is so good here I spilled some on my super-awesome designer jhorts from Express, and didn't even get mad. In fact, I got happy realizing that I figured out a discreet manner to exfiltrate Delauders' product for future consumption. No- I didn't eat my own shorts later that evening... Don't have a cow, man.. Unless you plan to barbecue said cow at Delauders, and in that case, please have a cow. Please. read more

Unassuming in appearance both inside and outside, I'm glad Delauders has gained such a positive reputation on Yelp. Otherwise, one would drive right by and not even notice this gem of an establishment. The restaurant gives off more of a deli/butcher vibe. There are 5 tables inside, so I think we were lucky that we didn't have to wait for one at dinner time. We ordered a platter with brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. All 3 meats were incredibly tender and exploded with flavor. Not sure how else to describe it, but it was the best BBQ we had during our trip to TN, NC, and SC. Tip: ask for some of the sweet habanera sauce. Together with a huge cup of iced sweet tea, this is the perfect place to revitalize after a long day hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains. Wonderful family-operated business. read more
