Every now and then you have a meal that you know you will remember the rest of your life. When a…read morerestaurant becomes an indelible experience. 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!

And the okra was just as memorable--crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Simple menu items done exceptionally well. Places like this are why local BBQ spots are hard to beat. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

The pull pork is so tender and flavorful, potato salad is delicious and the Mac and cheese is so unique and tasty! Oh and their house made bbq sauce I could just about drink it LOL!

Mac and cheese was delicious their way Good baked beans - not sweetened up. Greens - inedible for the three of us. Had to toss. Much too much vinegar.

Enjoyed the onion rings and potato salad, but the fries were flavorless and fried corn nuggets not very good. The rolls were tasteless. Their prices are about average. They only have outside picnic table seating now, so it's that or get your food to go. This was disappointing since we planned to eat there and had to fight off flies. The guy working the order window was friendly and food ready within a few minutes. Overall not a bad lunch, but probably not somewhere we're likely to visit again.
