We also both agreed the meatloaf was really good too! I had the turkey sandwich and the buttered, toasted bun and juicy turkey was fantastic!! The staff was also so welcoming and nice!! We came in with only 30 minutes to close but they all were super accommodating and helpful!!! We made sure it was okay with them for us to dine in and overwhelmingly a big yes! They checked in with us the whole time and overall a great meal and a great experience! We will definitely be back and spread the word to friends!

Smokin F Barbecue delivers the kind of brisket that makes you slow down and appreciate every bite…read more The bark had a deep, smoky crust with just the right amount of seasoning, while the meat itself was tender, juicy, and full of rich beef flavor--not dried out or overwhelmed by sauce. Each slice had that ideal balance of smoke, fat, and rendered tenderness that good barbecue brisket is supposed to have. The sausage was equally impressive. It had a satisfying snap to the casing, a smoky, well-seasoned interior, and enough spice to keep it interesting without setting your mouth on fire. It paired perfectly with the brisket: one rich and melt-in-your-mouth, the other hearty, savory, and pleasantly peppery. If you're ordering at Smokin F, don't skip either one. The brisket proves they know low-and-slow barbecue, and the sausage is a standout sidekick that could easily hold its own as the main event. A great place owned by a Christian group, God bless America, and Texas

OVER RATED..... Don't arrive too hungry, you've gotta be ready to stand in a LONG line to get to…read morewhere the food is actually served. While you wait in the line, often much of the food becomes "sold out!" so definitely don't get your heart set on anything special you may want to order. I often want just a baked potato without any meat on it (just a simple baked potato) - but the youngsters running the place can't seem to sell me one without the meat! It's very frustrating honestly. Since I can't get my potato, I just order the mixed berry cobbler, which is outstanding but always fearful that it's not sold out by the time I get to the front of the line. The best thing about Smokin F BBQ is the ambiance of the live entertainment with both inside/outside seating, the longhorn cattle and the petting zoo.

Heavy's was one of those meals and one of those restaurants. The experience began before we even parked our car with the drive off of US-25E along the Powell River. To say that Heavy's is off the beaten path doesn't do it justice. To get there, you're in for a 4-mile venture on twisty, one-lane roads into the backwater of Eastern Tennessee arriving at a modest, riverside shack. When they invented barbeque, they must have had this place in mind. Cause it was arguably the best BBQ that I have ever experienced. Everything was amazing. Ribs were succulent and smoky. The pork was tender and mouth-watering. All the food to the very atmosphere had that essential hardwood fire aroma. The actual location can best be described as rustic, and I hope that they NEVER change. The character of this place lends to its authenticity. Thank you, Heavy's, for a true BBQ experience!

The pulled pork in my Sweet Carolina BBQ sandwich had the look and taste of long, slow cooking. Lots of color on the "bark", with a balanced mix of coarse chopped pieces and thinner shreds. I thought it slightly dry and maybe not as much smoke flavor as I'd like, but that could be the pitmaster's preference. Any dryness was fixed by adding some of the 4 available house-made sauces. I tried all and decided on the spicy barbecue. My meal arrived quickly, no more than 5 minutes at most. The sandwich comes with 1 side. I chose the potato salad, which was very good: mustardy and tangy with the potatoes "al dente." Two sizes were available, regular and large. I thought the regular was sufficient and a good deal at $11.50 with the side. The coleslaw was very small as usual, but, as it was intended to be put into the sandwich for the Sweet Carolina, was sufficient, and good. The menu also has burgers, ribs, wings, and some interesting sounding combination sandwiches. Like Fried Bologna BLT. And brisket. Wish I could have tried that. My only complaint is the menu is very sandwich-oriented. No way to order a plate: a meat and 2 sides, and maybe a slice of cornbread (actually hoe cakes here instead). Larger combo are available, like the Smoky B Sampler with ribs, 2 additional meats, garlic toast, and a side (just 1). Way too much for one person, and with just 1 side, not ideal for sharing either. Many interesting appetizers and small bites, including corn nuggets, fried pickles and green tomatoes, cheese curds with marinara. The inside was clean, a generic modern building. Outside tables were not set up - was it just too hot to sit outdoors? The floor could use some fixing up: it looked like they had scraped off carpeting and left the glue. Strange. Lots of TVs tuned to various sports, the sound turned off. Music playing at a medium level which I enjoyed. Very hard rock. How hard? 9.5 on the Mohs scale. And then all of a sudden it changed to Taylor Swift. That was jarring but ok. I like her too. Clientele at this midday hour seemed to be mostly working men on lunch break. I think I was the only one without blue jeans and a baseball cap. When I got up to pay at the counter my waitress reminded me that my drink (Coke) comes with a free refill in a go cup. I didn't really want more but she encouraged me so I was going to get ice water. I pressed the wrong button on the machine and got lemonade instead. Oh well, that's fine too.
