    Their wet ribs are the best in Middle Tennessee! So moist and tender!!! Worth driving to Chapel Hill to get.

    Stopped here after kayaking because I liked the name. The pulled pork and cream cheese pie was great!

Baked beans - solid Potato salad - I'd get it again Coleslaw - mid Pork rinds - I'd get them again, kids loved them. Pimento cheese - decent but not super special. Great spot for bbq but was expecting really amazing as the "best bbq in Nashville " and it was just "pretty solid" spot, I'll still give it a 5 stars though. If I came back I'd buy a full rack of ribs with baked beans, potato salad and Mac.

    Alright...so on the advice of a stranger who doesnt even live in Tennessee, my buddy and I were…read moretold to try Peg Leg Porker because its the "best BBQ in Tennessee." Skeptical, we decided to give it a shot and folks it did not disappoint! The food was solid. I ordered the BBQ Sandwich Platter with mac and cheese and green beans as my sides. Yall...this bbq pork was solid! Great smoke, great sauce. The mac and cheese was on point. The green beans were delicious and came out piping hot. I did not partake in the fatty cakes but my buddy said the banana pudding was on point and gave me a look that I can only describe as "deeply invested" as he finished his dessert. The service was solid too. The girl working the register was knowledgable about the menu and the food pairings. I placed my order, grabbed my cup, and got myself a fountain drink...as I turned around and my buddy was finishing his order, my name was called. Before we sat down, his name was called. As far as ambiance, its exactly what you would expect of a hole in the wall BBQ spot. Appropriate decor, the smell of BBQ, and tables big enough you dont feel crammed. They have an awesome covered patio too. We sat inside because it was warm when we got there, but by the time we finished it had cooled down and there was a monsoon outside. *Special note: Primarily street parking, but there is parking on the side of the patio. Its a little tight so make sure you know how to operate a motor vehicle otherwise you'll be doing the Austin Powers 18 point turn to get it in there...

    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!

    Loved the location of this place. Spacious and roomy. Plenty of seating…read more The service was great, very fast, attentive and efficient. 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 took a trip up to Tullahoma last week for a change of pace after working in Belvidere. Piggy's…read morePlace wound up being my selection for lunch. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit! 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.

They have 3-4 pulled meats that can come on a sandwich for 5 bucks or add a side for 3 bucks more . I got the pulled Porto sandwich with a side , was like 8 and change . With baked beans which were really good . The sandwich was a bit small and had to get another one . Usually sandwiches like these are over stuffed but these were kind of skimpy for me . Why o needed another one . Dinner then came out to like 13 bucks . And doesn't show it . The pulled pork sandwiches were very good but could have used more meat . They have assorted sauces on the side and if you want a fountain drink , yup it's more . Over all the service was good and the restaurant was empty when I went but the dinner crowd was starting to flow in. Would try it again as I didn't have their ribs . But it's mostly ala cart and no real deals .
