The brisket was very tender and they give you a good portion. However it was very light on the "bark" didn't have a lot of smoked flavor. The sauces on the table were a sweet bbq sauce and hot sauce and it wasn't a hot bbq sauce. The ranch beans were overpowered by the chili flavor and the coleslaw was ok. Good value for the money but was a little underwhelming.

We had been here a couple times before and loved the food and had quick service. We visited today with a group of 9. Took an hour to get the food even though there was hardly anyone there. Then we were brought our orders of BBQ Nachos. A few chips (stale and chewy) a child's size portion of pulled pork, and some yellow cheese sauce. Three of us ordered this and it was the same for all three orders. $11.99 each! I didn't say anything at the time because the waitress was new and I didn't want to ruin her first day. She was sweet, but didn't know the menu. We paid for the bill and had to go get something to eat elsewhere. Hope that this doesn't continue for others, but we won't be back.

They have a few tables to eat there. They don't have indoor space so everything is outside. Plenty of parking too. Cute little piggy light decor. They have a few things to grab on their menu. We opted for the sandwich combo. Pulled pork, chips (Lay's) and a drink for $8.75 and we also got a 8oz mac and cheese to share. You can add toppings to your sandwich like coleslaw, onions, pickles, etc. they have mild and hot level for the BBQ sauce. The food was good. I ordered their hot sauce but it really lacked the spicy kick I was hoping for. I also thought it could have a bit more meat. The Mac and cheese was good too. I would add just a bit more salt and a hint of white pepper or have condiments available. The consistency was creamy but on the soupier side. The meal size was enough but I could see how some people could say it was small. Overall definitely a place I would stop again for this deal and a quick meal if I'm traveling this way.

10/10--absolutely worth the stop!…read more If you're heading to Lynchburg for the Jack Daniel's Distillery (or any of the nearby whiskey distilleries), do yourself a favor and eat at Barrel House BBQ afterward. First things first: if you're a die-hard brisket lover, just know they don't serve brisket. But honestly? Their ribs more than make up for it. Coming from Florida, where truly great, non-franchise barbecue can be hard to find, we're always excited to try local BBQ when we travel. Barrel House absolutely exceeded our expectations. We ordered the three-meat platter with sides (and couldn't resist adding a couple of extras), and every single bite was fantastic. The meats were tender and juicy, nothing was dry, and the barbecue sauce was incredible. What really made the experience stand out was the atmosphere. It's a small, tucked-away hole-in-the-wall that feels welcoming the moment you walk in. You can grab a marker and sign the walls, which was a fun touch, and they also encourage guests to leave signed dollar bills that are donated to a charitable cause each year. It's those little details that make places memorable. The owner (or manager--I never did ask which) was outstanding. Even during a busy lunch rush, he was everywhere at once--helping customers, running food, supporting his staff, and making sure everyone was taken care of. You could tell he genuinely cared about both his employees and his guests. Sometimes the best restaurants are the ones hiding down a side street, and this place proves it. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Lynchburg. Highly recommend!

The waitress was friendly and gave some amazing recommendations!! The sandwich was a nice touch. Very original and filling. Their potato salad was one of the better ones I've had in a long, long time. The vinegar slaw was great and original as well. Nicely done. The best part of this meal were the ribs. I have got to say that these were the best ribs I've ever had in my life. And, let me tell you... I've had a lot of ribs... the meat just melted off the bones. The flavor was next level. And, the proportions of meat to bone are ones I've never seen in my life, not even at a backyard barbecue. If you haven't been and are in the area, go check it out!!! You won't be disappointed. Ah-mazing!!!

I arrived for a fairly late meal (~1:45) so it wasn't super crowded. The parking lot is easy to access. There were a few people eating inside and several carryout orders that occurred during my visit. The inside is adorably decorated in your usual southern bbq joint style -- fun pig memorabilia and whatnot. They have a pretty large selection of bbq and an even larger selection of desserts. In retrospect, I definitely regret not getting a slice of cake or pie to go! I am usually a pulled pork girl, but it is pretty unusual to see smoked pulled chicken -- most places only do half or quarter birds -- and I like pulled chicken a lot, so I ventured out and ordered that! I got the smaller sized plate lunch, which comes with a piece of Texas toast and two sides. I went with curly fries and corn on the cob. Overall, the food was good! The pulled chicken was nice and smoky and the perfect serving size. It was a teeny bit dry but that's typical bbq chicken territory and nothing a good dash of creamy, peppery white bbq sauce couldn't fix. Good sauce! My corn on the cob wasn't super sweet -- probably not quite in season yet -- but it was cooked nicely and very juicy. The fries gave strooooong Arby's vibes such that I think they might actually *be* Arby's fries lol, but there's nothing wrong with that. Especially when they were cooked so fresh and came out hot and crispy! The toast was a lovely buttery companion and my sweet tea was on point. The service here though...THAT gets a 5/5, or really a 10/5 if such a thing were possible. I sometimes feel like southern hospitality is a myth or at least an oversimplification of southern social norms, but at this place it's real and sincere. The woman who took my order -- the owner, I later learned, having purchased the restaurant after years as an employee -- treated me and everyone else who walked in the doors with such warmth, kindness, interest, and attentiveness that it made my entire day. Truly everyone was made to feel so welcome. She catered to some older ladies who came in for a birthday, checked in on me in a nonjudgmental but caring way since I was by myself, and greeted regulars with a smile and by their name. She made the place feel like joy! Definitely give this place a go and enjoy the tasty food and wonderful folks. I'd happily return.

"Slick pig is a Murfreesboro staple!"…read more We've gone a few times to Slick Pig and it's always good. We go on Tuesday nights when they have the $3.99 Pork Sandwich special. We usually get two sandwiches with a few sides! It's always pretty good. Half the time the food comes out mostly hot, sometimes closer to the room-temp side of things. It's a good country kitchen vibe with some antiques on the walls - including a few older tv's. It seems like they employ the local college students which is always good, they do a good job and are always friendly! I'm originally from the Carolina's, so it's hard to beat Carolina BBQ, but this is a good spot to hang! 8/10
