I've eaten in thousands…read moreof restaurants all over Tennessee and kept hearing other locals in Nashville talk about how incredible it was encouraging me to go . So when my cousin from up north came down, we decided to give it a try. I wanted to show her why I love this area and Nashville is so busy and congested now that I had to find a place she could truly experience the best TN has to offer without the rush and stress of people everywhere. So we headed to The Mason Jar Restaurant in Centerville giving us a beautiful drive to see if the people raving about it were right! She had the chicken Philly, which is a unique southern inspired version on Texas toast and it was killer! I've never seen her finish anything but her plate was clean and I was so grateful the experience lived up to the hype! I ordered the veggie burger which is a chipotle black bean burger on a brioche bun and I couldn't get enough!!! So much so, I ordered one to go and ate it for lunch the next day! This restaurant has the unique charm that is so rare these days where everything seems like a chain or big corporation copy elsewhere. When you dine at MJR you can expect a welcoming environment and incredible service making you feel like part of the family. A gem that is a priceless experience you can only get in the south outside the noise of Nashville. Would recommend it to anyone seeking locally owned charm meets the savory yummy goodness of a clearly well thought out mixture of options this menu has to offer. Head on down as soon as you can as this is one of few places everyone enjoys thankfully living up to its incredible hard earned reputation! Great ambiance service and food which is a triple hitter I was so lucky to find!

We ordered a 4 meat combination consisting of beef brisket, pulled pork, St Louis ribs and Texas smoked sausage, plus an order of smoked chicken wings. My favorite was the brisket, it's my first, I'm used to California bbqs Tri-tip, prime rib, filet mignon and T-bone steaks. Never realized what a real bbq brisket was, always saw it on TV, but this was the real deal. Naturally the other meats were great, but the brisket takes the cake. The sides we had were baked beans and mac n cheese. Customer service was excellent, can't wait to come back!

The person in charge of catering, the owner's wife, was at first unavailable and then dismissive and seemed totally uninterested in my business. One of the employees did her best to help. When I emailed to cancel the order because it was as "fun as banging my head against the wall." She replied "likewise." Extremely poor customer relations - we will never go back and never recommend.

Update to prior review…read more I always enjoyed the Shack. A year ago they started having very odd hours which made it hard to purchase from them. So we stopped getting takeout there for awhile. Once I passed and saw they were open and decided to get an extra pound of smoked pork from here as well. It has changed in a drastic way. the "smoked" pork now has an ever intrusive taste of liquid smoke, to the point we threw most of it away (that is a real bad sign at my house.) Giving an update of 2 stars as I know they can do better, but alas I don't know it will change. The owner is very friendly as well. I don't thing there is really good bbq in town at this point.

They even had a bologna sandwich which they said they make and smoke their own. Food came out fast. Two thumbs up on the hotdog and French fries and the single pulled pork sandwich from the kids (ages 10/12). My daughter and I both had a pulled pork sandwich plate with coleslaw on the sandwiches and Sides of potato salad and onion rings. Her sandwich was regular sauce and mine spicy. They set the plats down so that we had each other's so we each had a bite of the other's sandwich when we noticed. That means there was a definite difference in sauce flavors with hers being more Sweet and mine spicy. We both enjoyed our meals immensely and if we lived in the area would frequent this place. We saw a couple of plates of full racks of ribs come Out as we were leaving and I had wished I had room in a cooler to bring some back to WI for my husband. As it is, the foodie he is, he decided we would incorporate this restaurant into our FL travels in December so he can try it out.

My dear Ronnie's BBQ,…read more You never opened your doors, and now, after seeing the calendar, I understand why. Juneteenth came, and with it, another day spent staring longingly at your darkened windows. I don't imagine you'll ever read this letter, but my heart insists that I write it anyway. Ronnie's... oh, Ronnie's. I was beginning to believe again. I had visions of smoky barbecue, tender pulled pork, and the comfort only your food could bring. But every time I arrived these past months, I was met not with the smell of hickory smoke, but with locked doors and silent parking lots. My hope faded a little more with each visit. When your lights are on, the world feels right. But when I pull into the parking lot and find another "Closed" sign staring back at me, I realize that ours is a love destined to be tested by unfortunate timing. Perhaps fate simply refuses to let us be together. Perhaps I am forever cursed to crave what I cannot have. You've broken my heart more times than I care to admit. And yet, somehow, I know that if I saw your "Open" sign tomorrow, I would come running back without hesitation. Such is the burden of loving great barbecue. So I leave you with this letter--not in anger, but in sorrow. I return to you my appetite, though I suspect it will find its way back the moment your smoker starts up again. Until that glorious day, I must try to move on... though we both know I won't. Forever waiting in your parking lot, Your most loyal, and repeatedly heartbroken, customer.

I arrived to see quite a line forming so I hop in line and check out the menu. It's pretty simple...pork is the main emphasis here and whole hog BBQ is the name of the game. I ordered the Jumbo Pork Sandwich, Mayo Slaw, and Sweet BBQ Sauce on the side with potato salad. The food...EXCELLENT. I love how you have the option to get mayo OR vinegar slaw on your sandwich PLUS it's a fine chop and the sweet BBQ sauce is great. I got to see some of the hogs heading into the smokehouse...pretty cool setup. The food here is great and the service at the window for your order was efficient and friendly.
