If you're looking for authentic barbecue that delivers, Smokin Butts BBQ is a must-visit. The pulled pork sandwich was incredible--smoky, juicy, and packed with flavor without being over-sauced. 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. read more

As always I enjoy coming to smokin butts bbq Now with my wife on the truck, she is in the habit of asking "Mark when are we going to the favorite bbq place?"...Today was a good business day for them, they were low in stock but that didnt mean any less quality of accommodation! The flavors were worth savoring, the picnic tables welcoming, and the music setting the ambiance...and the service top notch and never less! Thank you for another full belly for the ride! read more

I am a commercial driver and am thrilled when my route takes me past Smokin Butts! The portions are huge, my husband and I split a meal, and reasonably priced. The fried okra is the best I've ever had. We love the pulled pork, okra, and potato salad. Once you try it you will be looking for reasons to drive that way again. read more

Great BBQ spot! The ribs fell right off the bone and had an amazing smoky flavor. The fried okra was some of the best I've ever had. It's a bit hard to find, but if you go across from the TA gas station, drive through the truck parking, and follow the narrow road under the fireworks sign, you'll find it on the left. Definitely a must-try BBQ place! read more

Passing through and stopped for lunch after reading some reviews. Tried the pork sandwich plate with fries and beans. BBQ is solid, moist and good flavor with a thin sweet sauce on the side. Fries were home cut variety and were good as well. He does his beans outside the box of norm, not nearly as sweet with a good helping of spices, more like cowboy style- but good as well. Tried a piece of sausage as well, nothing special here. Bottled drinks. As other reviews have said, not much to look at, one covered picnic table, so you are eating in your car or getting to-go. Overall solid, would return. read more

My spouse and I just had a wonderful 11meal at Smokin' Butts BQ Q! We will definitely be returning. The good is delicious, the portions are generous, and the service was fast and friendly. It's a little mom and pop ]lace with owners who have been in business for nearly a decade. There is an option to enjoy your meal under a nice awning at picnic tables. Even the bugs stay away! I highly recommend this place the seasoned fried are perfect, the potato salad is fresh and so creamy! The baked beans have a delicious kick to them. The chicken is tender and juicy, the pulled pork is flavorful, and the sausage has a tasty snap when you bite in to it! The menu has several choices and the prices are beru fair for what you get ​​​ read more

I'm back in the area and had to return to taste other items. I'll skip the details this time of driving up the sketchy road, etc., and right to the food. This time I had the 3 rib dinner. The ribs are huge and along with the 2 sides, it's easily dinner for 2 people or 2 dinners. The ribs had a very nice smoke with a crispy bark. Some folks prefer a little pull to the meat to get it off the bone (me) others prefer the fall off the bone texture. These were fall off or already off the bone but yet I cannot really complain as they hit all the right other notes. Potato salad-highly recommended Fried okra- really highly recommended . Overall I'm happy to have gone there again and deliver another 5 star review read more

Driving home to Cleveland, Ohio from Tallahassee, Florida - we wanted to stop and grab a bite. I figured, in the south, we need BBQ in Tennessee. Looked along our route and found this hidden gem. Looked a little, precarious but those are usually the best places. Pulling in was a little sketchy with the old carnival rides but there were two trucks parked, one guy eating, one waiting for his food. We struck up a conversation. This gentleman was from the Carolinas and said that he makes it a point to stop here whenever he's near, the best BBQ he's had. Well now I'm intrigued and excited. The owner/worker/cook- whomever he was, was so kind, thankful and happy. Such good energy. We ordered two pulled pork sandwiches with fries, slaw and potato salad. Let me tell you - best, BEST, THE BEST BBQ and sides I've ever had. The tender smoky pork with his tangy sweet sauce on the side. I'm going to be dreaming about it. He piled it all HIGH. The containers were so heavy. As we were enjoying our meal at the picnic table next to the trailer, the owner excitedly brought out a taste of his brisket. Hot damn - I don't like brisket. At all. But I'd order his. Worth every penny - shoot, I'd pay more. My meal for the sandwich with two sides was $9! Highly recommend if you are passing by on I-75!!! read more

Good Pulled pork, the brisket was pretty good, fries were crazy good (most likely fresh cut) peeling on and fried perfectly, and the cole slaw was right on. Food was hot, owner was friendly but a little bit presumptuous in asking if it was the best BBQ I had eaten in my whole life. I am from TX and yes, I eat meat (often). Not the best, but good and I couldn't lie to him. My thought would be if you are not in TX and not close to Memphis, this is great food. My only negative would be the beans. Stir clear of them... they had about 5x as much garlic as there should have been. Minus the beans I would have gone with 4.5 stars. read more

Smokin' Butts is great! Make sure to stop here for good BBQ. Its conveniently located off 75, friendly service and large portions.

Sweet Jesus! It's not even BBQ, it's a party in your mouth. I have never had more moist, flavorful BBQ in my life and I do mean real BBQ. Not the kind sitting in a chaffing dish but the kind you can see being smoked. The kind you refuse to share because there's a good chance they'll be sold out when you go back. Do yourself a favor and make sure you add eating at smoking butts to your bucket list. read more

Best place for BBQ! All these other reviews downing it or saying he is mean probably are the problem not him but one funny thing is, he has a sign on the grass that says not to let your dog use the bathroom on the grass, says, I don't use the bathroom on your lawn so don't let your animal use the bathroom on mine. Isn't there a difference between a human using the bathroom on the grass then an animal? Jeez, how many wild animal come by because they smell food and use that grass for a bathroom? Just such an odd thing to worry about! lol read more

Holy smokes this is so not what we expected! First off, it's more like a food shack with 2 picnic benches to eat on. But wait, don't leave just because it's in 90 degree temps with full sun blaring down on you. Once you get a whiff you will be won over. Then once you taste it, you can thank Yelp for letting you find this diamond mine. My picky husband who thinks he's a Southerner after a 1 week vacation absolutely says this is the best BBQ he's ever had. I, on the other hand, am more into side dishes and especially love fries. I think he slices the potatoes to order. They were better than 5Guys. I kid you not! Their beans were phenomenal too and I don't even like beans but I loved theirs. The brisket and pulled pork were so good!!! Wow - just WOW!!! The man who made this dream come true was sweet as pie. So glad we came here...you won't regret it if you do too! read more

Oh my! My lovely wife read reviews and we decided to give it a try. So glad we did! We all did brisket plates with fries, the ladies had slaw and I had the beans. Wow! Awesome flavors all around. The beans are especially unique and delicious (however,if you don't appreciate garlic then you should choose something else). Fries were fresh, nicely seasoned and generally perfect. They even included a bun so I made sandwich and still had plenty of beautiful brisket to enjoy with sauce. The proprietors were helpful, friendly and hospitable. We gotta come back! read more

Great place, great bbq! The sauce that went on the pulled pork sandwich was AMAZING. The seasoning on the fries was also amazing.

Totally recommend and would definitely stop again if driving through the area again. read more

Just know if you're searching for a restaurant, this is a small food trailer, located in a dilapidated parking lot with rusting carnival rides and signs for fireworks. We were traveling on a cold, gloomy day, and needed a restaurant with indoor seating, restrooms and a place to relax out of our vehicle. We tried to stop here. It took us a minute to find the location. We hear the food is really good, but couldn't try it. Just know if you're searching for a restaurant this is a food trailer and more of a take out type place. I had to leave a review in order to post. I don't know why his shows up as a restaurant when searching. We will actually try it sometime, while passing through, if it's not a rainy day. read more

Food here is so delicious! You won't regret trying it! I had the smoked chicken, fries, & fried okra. All was delicious and hot. Came with a bun. BBQ sauce is just the right spicy!

So I've been coming to 141 for over a year and finally decided to try the bbq oh Lord what a bad choice to make. I and a coworker got two orders of half a slab and brisket with baked beans, okra, and potato salad. The ribs lack all of any kind of flavor and adding the bbq sauce surely didn't help none at all. I will say the ribs were soft and juicy but tease like they were dropped in the hot coal. I only had one bone and throw the rest in the trash. The baked beans appeared to have been cooked in the bbq sauce which if it didn't help the ribs it surely didn't help the beans. The okra was the closest to the best thing I ordered and eat all of but they were fried harder than my liking. This place definitely gets a 0 out of 10. This goes down as the worst BBQ I've ever had. read more

Holy crap. Stop reading this and just get over there and order. It was sooooooo good. I'm definitely gonna stop here just for the bbq when I drive through here. First time I ever stopped here and won't be the last. Brisket was the best ever, fries were more delicious!!!...not just basic fries, the seasoning was great, and the baked beans had a little kick to them but also delicious. I'd give this place 10 stars if I could. read more
