When we walked in and didn't smell any meat bbqing...it was a red flag. Seemed like the food was in warmers and ready to go. My brother described this place as cafeteria food. Yikes. The food was barely hot too. Got the ribs plate: - Ribs were dry on the outside (think beef jerky) and barely moist on the inside. Hydrated the meat with the okay bbq sauce. - Greens were okay but no flavor at all. They just tasted like they've been sitting and it's probably because they have been just sitting. - Mac n cheese had a thick sauce which is how I like my mac n cheese. But since it was barely warm, it got cold so fast. Also tasted like it's been sitting so the butter and cheese separated. I was excited for this place bc of the rave reviews but it's probably some of the worst bbq I've had.
The ambiance is very homey/cozy with really good customer service! I tried the pork sandwich, Mac & cheese, green & things, and red beans & rice. My favorite side dish had to be green & things because of the collards were so flavorful! Mac and cheese had a light spicy kick to it and the red beans & rice, I really enjoyed the sausages in it.
KNOXVILLE, TN 37902 / AMERICAN BBQ / 09-24-23 / LUNCH +The "Thick" sauce was pretty good. +I got the greens and stuff along with the house salad. The sides were the best part of the meal. -Like other reviewers, the meat was very dry. -No smoke ring or smoke flavor on the meat. -The "Hot" and "Thin" sauces were meh. -The tables and floor were pretty dirty; the place wasn't busy during lunch time, so staff members could have cleaned some of the tables and condiment bottles. -Something hurt my stomach.
My wife, daughter, and I happened to be downtown and had some time to kill, so we decided to grab dinner. I had been craving pork ribs, so we thought we'd give this place a try. If you've read any of my reviews, you know I'm a serious BBQ enthusiast. As a certified KCBS BBQ judge, I take great BBQ seriously. While BBQ styles vary by region, one thing is consistent: doneness. When we arrived, the restaurant wasn't very crowded. We were greeted and had the ordering process explained to us. However, a sign informed us that they were out of ribs and pork (although the pork would be ready in about 15 minutes). Both my wife and I ordered sliced brisket, mac & cheese, and greens, with me adding smoked sausage and banana pudding. I specifically asked for the fatty part of the brisket (the point) but was told they don't serve that cut, which struck me as odd. So, we both had the lean brisket. The flavor and tenderness were alright, though I noticed the brisket was a bit undercooked -- something only a BBQ aficionado might pick up on. The flavor? It was decent. The sides were alright too -- definitely not the store-bought kind. Overall, the meal was fine. I wouldn't go out of my way to return, but it wasn't a bad experience either.
After a search on Yelp for good BBQ we decided on Sweet P's. The location was easy enough to find and had street and lot parking nearby. I liked the look of the place when we got there with a small bar up front and the food right after. It is counter service with a large chalk board full of choices. For me I decided on brisket and the two sides of slaw and greens. The guy behind the counter said these were the best greens he has had, I guess he hasn't eaten many collard greens because they were bland and had no acidity. The brisket was okay with the flavor but it came from seasoning that was put on after so I can't tell if it was smoked or not because that seasoning covered it up. The slaw was prey good and I tasted the chicken from one of the others in the party and it needed a lot of sauce to help the dryness. I wanted to like Sweet P's, but wanting doesn't always line up with having. I think on the next visit we will look for other BBQ options.
MY 100TH REVIEW!!! WAHOOOOOOO....Too bad it was at a mediocre bbq place. My chicken was dry and the greens didn't have enough acidity. I also got the tator salad which was pretty good. My family liked the brisket but they said they had better and agreed with me about the greens. My uncle's ribs were just ok. We were surprised because reviews were so good. But I guess bbq is personal. Service was great and the place was clean. Prices were pretty on point so no complaints there. Good beer selection and it was cold. Their bbq sauces were very good too. So it did have a lot of pros.
My first outing with my mom since she has needed a wheelchair and this place was perfect! Accessible entrance on the right side, easy maneuverability to the order area and then to our seats, plus the staff helped us get our tray to the table. We shared the Sampler plate with an added quarter of ribs and still took home enough for dinner! Sides were succotash, greens and things, and slaw, and they have beer and cider on tap. There is a beer garden upstairs that I didn't get to try but I will definitely be back! Wood paneling and tons of World's Fair decorations keep the Knoxville hometown vibe front and center - this is a great place!
Having tried about a dozen BBQ restaurants in and around Asheville I wanted to try some BBQ in Knoxville. I ordered the ribs and they have dry rub and looked dry; however, they were fall off the bone and amazingly tender. The flavor was what you want from a rib - lots of great smokey taste. The dry rub was a perfect mix of sweet & spicy. Probably one of the best ribs I have had in a while. The side dishes were good but not mind blowing. Great service.
Our order: platter plate (1/4 rack ribs, brisket, pulled chicken OR chopped pork) and sides (sautéed greens and things, mac and cheese, Brunswick stew, cornbread), pomegranate and orange mimosas Unassuming spot along Jackson Ave by historic Gay St. Order and pay first, then seat yourself. The meats were flavorful on their own, but they could use a longer marination to achieve full penetration. The brisket was dusted with a sugar topping, giving it a sweet and crunchy texture. My favorite was the pulled chicken, it was tender and juicy. The cornbread fell short of my expectations, it was crumbly and not sweet enough. The cheese to macaroni ratio was just right, the collard greens were tender, and the Brunswick stew was hearty - definitely could have gone for a bowl. Fabulous mimosas that achieved balance between juice and vodka. Rustic decor with a hint of instagram friendly filled memorabilia of World Fair. There is an outdoor second floor patio for those that can brave the chilly evenings to enjoy Gay St skyline.
Got the brisket, ribs, Mac and cheese, and Cole slaw. I was really looking forward to forward to this place so much I drove 40min out of my way. Sadly Mac and cheese not great and brisket was mostly fat. I did however love the ribs
We pulled into Knoxville kinda late, but craving BBQ. Sweet P's did not disappoint. Brisket was moist even at 9:00PM. Mac and Cheese and Potato salad aka Tater salad (We are in the South you know) was awesome. Then came the Southern hospitality. Oodles and Oodles of Southern hospitality. Love these guys!! Gracious to weary travelers. Sauces are thin, hot and thick. Thin is Tennessee vinegar based, hot and think are more catsup based. All excellent!!
GET THE RIBS!!!!! My family and I tried the sample platter and the ribs were the absolute star. The ribs are so tender and the outer char is amazing. The brisket and pulled pork were okay. The service was also super friendly! My family and I were very appreciative of the staff :)
Ambiance/Service- Knoxville is such an energetic town and Sunday afternoon didn't disappoint. Street market, people enjoying a beautiful day and lunch at Sweet P's. Perfect! The weather was beautiful, the energy of the employees was upbeat and happy, the service was genuinely welcoming and fun. Great place to be! Food- There were three of us. We ordered the sampler plate with potato salad, Mac and cheese and cole slaw, a pulled pork sandwich with slaw topping and a chicken sandwich with slaw and a side of pinto beans. Also an order of fresh pork rinds! Wow! All fresh and hot. The only item not preferred was the potato salad. Beyond that all the food was great. Meats were tender with great smoke. The sauces were all tasty but we preferred the thick sauce. Pork rinds came popping hot. The sprinkle on them made them super yummy! What a great protein fix today:-) Loved Sweet Ps!
Took my Sweet heart to Sweet P's after a concert one evening and we enjoyed it. The regulars in line recommended the pulled pork and swore by their sides and I can see why. I really enjoyed the creamy mac and cheese and banana pudding. The pulled pork was okay but not too flavorful and quite dry (without adding sauce). Good barbecue, but hard to stand out in this space. read more

We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. We have heard excellent things about Sweet P's, and all things heard were true. The service was good, the wings were tasty, and the restaurant itself was cozy and clean. There was lots of 1982 World's Fair memorabilia, and reading all of it took us back to such a happy time here in Knoxville. Keep up the terrific work, Sweet P's! We will definitely be back. read more
Decent place to get some bbq. I got the memphis dry rub ribs and they were very tender and soft. The seasoning and crust was very good. The banana pudding pie was decent. The beans with brisket was pretty good. It didn't have too much sweetness to it so I think it was very balanced. You take your order at the front before sitting down and they have TV's for sports and interesting wall memorabilia like the world's fair related stuff. read more

My hubby said the ribs that I make are better than the ones served here. I do have to agree. The ribs are not fall off the bones. The ribs are dry and hard to chew ... The sweet tea is not super sweet. The sides are really good though! I also love their bbq sauces. I especially love their mild bbq sauce. It's a viniger based bbq sauce with a tangy and sweet flavor profile! read more

Really awesome spot. Their rub on the wings is so amazing I asked to buy some to bring home! 10/10! read more
I love me some good bbq, sadly it's been hard for me to find really great bbq spots here in East Tennessee. I do enjoy coming here though, they have plenty of seating on the main floor and also the bar area and upstairs outdoor area which I love when the weather is nice out. I think it's more on the pricey side so don't be alarmed when you check out haha. There's a huge chalk board menu at the front where you order. The meats are sitting in the smoker and they just pull it out when you order so I could see the meats getting dried out depending on when you go and how long they have been sitting in there. They use this dry seasoning that they put shake on all the meats before they give it to you. I feel like if you know how to smoke meat correctly you don't have to add a bunch of seasonings or spices to it. You're just losing the flavor of the meat at that point. I will say I do enjoy their ribs just wish they used less seasoning, the brisket was just ok to me. I wasn't a fan of those Mac and cheese l, it's a little dry I like more of a creamier Mac and cheese. I'm a huge potato salad fan and their tater salad is spot on, I also really enjoyed their tomato n' blues salad I could literally eat that everyday. They have a few different house made bbq sauces on the tables, definitely try them all! They spicier one was my favorite. The staff all seem pretty friendly when I've gone and they keep the restaurant well kept up, I've never seen food trays left on tables or trash or anything. I will continue coming here because I do like the location and food is pretty good. read more

I was exhausted after a long day so decided to Uber some dinner in while I worked. I am so glad I came across Sweet P's as one of my options. I ordered the smoked pork platter with cole slaw, potato salad and cornbread. The serving portion was huge. The potato salad was very good- and I am picky about my potato salad! The cornbread had good flavor. I tried the spicy sauce and the thick sauce they were both good but I think the thick was my favorite. The food held up well through delivery. I would recommend this location and would like to go to the location in person next time. read more
We tried so many things and I'll rank my favs below! Clean, friendly and quick service! 3 of us split the sampler platter, a dozen wings and the chips and pimento. We all left full and had another meal to bring home! #1 fav was the ribs, fall off the bone, melt in your mouth with a little sweetness! #2 chips were delicious and the hot pimento is a great addition of flavors #3 wings - I loved the garlic wet, but the dry was a very close tie!! #4 Mac and cheese - so creamy and bbq seasoning make for pure delight! #5 pulled pork sandwich - was good, but with all the other choices this is pretty far down in the list #6 sliced brisket- ours was a little dry. Not bad but not outstanding like the ribs and wings!! read more
I had a hankering for some down home barbecue and this downtown location was spot on! Upon entering the establishment, I was greeted with a warm welcome. The daily special was displayed along with other selections on a large menu board. As I approached the counter to place my order, a very nice young man at the grill gladly assisted with an explanation of their offerings. I chose the chopped pork plate which came with two sides; my choice was tater salad and greens n things (which is a combination of collard greens, pea's & veggies) I opted for a slice of cornbread instead of bread buns. The meal was quite tasty and seasoned perfectly, it immediately reminded me of my mom's cooking. The restaurant was very neat and tidy. There was a steady flow of patrons dining during the lunch hour. I will definitely be returning here to get my barbecue fix. Good job Sweet P's. read more

You order cafeteria style and pay before eating. Likes - Dry rub ribs: I think it was my first time or first time in a long time having dry rubs. I was worried it was overseasoned because they sprinkled some extra seasoning on it but it was actually perfect and very tender. It was my favorite part of the meal. We got half a rack. I would definitely reorder it. - I liked the thick sauce which was a little sweet. The thin sauce was too vinegary - Brisket was good. I'm still not a huge fan of brisket or just haven't had any that was memorable. - Friendly staff Dislikes - Big sauce containers at the table. Not very sanitary during COVID - Cole slaw: felt light and heathy. My family liked it but I wasn't a fan. It wasn't flavorful enough. It wasn't marinated long enough and just tasted like raw veggies to me - Chopped pork on a bun: was meh. It definitely needed tons of sauce. TIP: free parking next to the restaurant. Don't park in the public parking lot that charges read more

I could not have been happier with my choice to eat here. I was walking around looking for dinner and the word DIVE on the sign struck me as promising. I checked the menu, Friday special was Andouille sausage and I said sold! This is a Friday special not an everyday item. Man was that good. It came with two sides, I had a hard time choosing because the list was impressive but I settled on deep fried okra (OMG!) and sautéed greens that had black eyed peas, carrots, onions and other stuff (again, OMG!). The service, at the bar, was great and if I am to be honest, the joint does not strike me as a dive. Nice place, see the picture, yes, the place was empty but keep in mind this is a college town and all the students are home for the holidays. Ok, so why not five stars? Legit question, because the meal was served on a paper plate with plastic cutlery and I loath that. However, I do accept this is a fairly normal practice for BBQ joints which is a genera I do not frequent (I don't care for BBQ because it uses too much sugar-not specific to Sweet P's. Double bonus points, they were kind enough to give me a piece of cornbread (I order it because looked so good) I hate to bring this up because they were kind enough to gift it to me, holy shit, it was just like my grandma made and I cannot give higher praise then that right there. Oh, decent tap and I love the old defunct beer ads all over the joint. read more

Where y'at? If you're not getting BBQ here, you're missing out. DO NOT MISS the pimento cheese. This treasure of a dish comes warmed and with a sprinkling of that magic dust they call BBQ rub AND a heaping serving of their house-made potato chips (also sprinkled with magic dust). You're warmed up for the main event: Q-n-sides. Tried just about several of the proteins available through multiple visits. Don't have pictures of all. Yes: wings, pulled chicken, smoked chicken, turkey breast (go early), pulled pork, brisket, sausage-sausage-sausage! Sides/special sides that get a yes: Mac and cheese, Greens and things (! YES !), house-made potato chips, potato salad, slaw, Red Beans and Rice (Wednesdays), and puddin'! But I loved the pimento cheese so much, I will choose to eat that for appetizer and dessert. I would give a "meh" only to the bacon chocolate chip cookie (good flavor/idea, but the cookie was a bit dry and not chewy/soft enough for me - recommend they update the recipe to use only brown sugar and melted butter or browned butter) and the meatloaf (okay, but not my favorite). Go. Go on, now. Go to Sweet P's and get your Q. Go on! read more

Came here and tried their sampler with 1/2 rack of ribs (upgraded), brisket, sandwich and 2 sides. The ribs were my favorite, fall off the bone, and perfectly spiced. The brisket was good, wanted a little more smokey flavor, but it was still tender and juicy. The collard greens was my favorite side. It wasn't too salty and the greens were perfect, not mushy. I appreciated the bottles of sauces on the table to try. read more
Good location downtown which boasts a large rooftop patio. I ordered ribs, French fries and banana pudding for dessert. The ribs came out extremely dry, soI brought that to the attention of the staff. They quickly grabbed and another rack, which were much improved. The second rack of ribs had a nice dry rub and I would give 4 stars. I'm not a big fan of the French fries and the banana pudding was average overall. read more
Driving through and looking for a local joint. I was concerned with location (parking) on a Friday night but found free parking down the street. Not as crowded as I expected which had me a little worried, but all concerns disappeared after my first bite. Cafeteria style ordering, friendly cooks/staff made selection process easy. There was plenty of seating available & restrooms were clean as was the restaurant overall. Now the really deal, the food !!! We went with Sampler and added a sausage, with a coke and water with tip was around $40. Well worth the price, the meats were delicious, juicy and you had three choices of sauce which were all good (located at table). Plenty for 2 people as it comes with three sides. I loved the Tater Salad, Mac & Cheese, the Greens & things was decent, but the first two were very good. Wife favs were Tater & Greens. Overall a great ending to a great day, chillin in hotel room full & happy. Definitely will be back on next trip through Knoxville. read more
Stopped here for a quick dinner with family. Heard great things but wanted to try for ourself. We tried the wings and I'll say they were average. Nothing special and too much of the dry rub. I had the turkey club sandwich. It was a cold sandwich which I didn't mind but I bet it would be very good warm! The cheese was this and the turkey was good smoke flavor. This was my favorite thing about the place. I had a side Mac and cheese and while it was good, it wasn't very hot. Others in our party had the same complaint that some of the food was maybe luke warm. We had to try their banana pudding because they said it was award winning. Even from the look at it, I knew it couldn't come close to Dead End BBQs pudding. There weren't any cookies in it and the pudding was just average. Wouldn't get again and probably would just go to dead end for any bbq in Knoxville. read more
