We were on a roadtrip from Louisville, KY to Chattanooga, TN taking the backroads when we stopped…read morein to Brazen Que and it was worth the drive to discover this amazing BBQ joint. Among the best smoked meats I ever ate. The food is amazing. We ordered a brisket and a pulled pork sandwich with beans and mac n cheese. The pork was among the best I ever had. The flavor of the rub and smoke goes through all the meat. The brisket was tender, meaty, pleasantly salty and peppery. The beans were house made and the sauce was a little thin and the mac n cheese was very creamy. The homemade sauces were epic. The counter service was helpful and our food was ready right away. The place is small. More like a roadside joint than a restaurant. It can barely fit 30 people. Minus one star for not having blues music!

Our server Rachel was quick to greet us, friendly, and helpful. Brick walls, wood block sculptures, and old black and white photos of the town serve as decor, making the place very welcoming. A couple rounds of local beers started us and then we were off in earnest. The fried pickle spears were just as perfect as we remembered. Huge, hot, sour, and delicious, served with dijonaisse dipping sauce. Everything we ordered was delicious and each person at the table thought theirs was best. A smoked ham, cheese, and fig sandwich... cheese quesadillas... pork belly sliders... steak and mushroom wrap... all great. Our only disappointment was the gumbo. It tasted more like a bland bean soup. No seafood flavor and non existent seasonings, but even that wasn't enough to bring this place down. We cannot recommend highly enough!

Cookeville is such a small, quaint, and friendly town with such genuine charm to it. My husband and I visit his mimi every year and as part of our tradition, we select a restaurant in town to eat at to give her a break from cooking us meals. This year we chose Spankies! We were greeted by warm, welcoming faces, and the restaurant's ambiance felt comfortable and inviting. We ordered quite a variety from the menu! And every single dish, from the starters, to the entrées, to the sides were each absolutely delicious! You cannot go wrong with any order. 5 stars for a lovely experience!
