    Cozy decor with lots of antiques line the wall. Staff were friendly and attentive. I had the 1/2 rack of ribs and they were pull off the bone tender. Right seasoning and perfectly smoked. I tried couple BBQ sauces they offered and found the "hot" BBQ sauce to be have alight heat but a great flavor. For sides I opted for potato salad and Mac & Cheese. The potato salad was good with a hint of mustard which how I prefer. Mac & Cheese was decent but use a little more cheese sauce slightly dry noodles. Overall a great experience and will be back.

    YALL! Stop what you're doing right now and GET. HERE. I grew up in Tennessee on good Ole southern style home cooking. Since moving out I don't get to eat like this as often. The first bite touched my soul and took me back to simpler times. My husband ordered the country fried steak. Let me tell you, that steak could feed the both of us! ITS HUGE! The seasonings are perfect and it was hot and fresh. Paired with the mashed potatoes and gravy, perfect match! I had the Sloppy Chicken. It's a very southern take on a sloppy joe. It's shredded chicken, smothered in cheese and jalapeño ranch in between two buttered grilled buns. If you're wanting to know about apps, Fried Pickle Spears. Don't make me tell you twice, just order them. You'll thank me later. Heather was our server. Very sweet and homely. She is a teacher working here part time, Tip her well, she's earned it. The restaurant looks like the inside of a family cabin, with a train car behind the building. Really feels like home. Can I just move in?!

    Prime rib sandwich with fries. Make sure to get the jalapeño ranch!

    Perfect place for authentic bbq. Great service, rustic ambience and clean as a whistle. Great music playing! We are locals now and can't wait to come back!

    I love Uncle Gus's. We have eaten here a lot over the past 5 years. Today was a disappointment. It wasn't the food. I don't know if the person at the counter was new but, I called to put in an order. She told me to hold on a minute. 30 minutes later I drove there to place my order while still waiting for her to get back to me on the phone. Then I stood there another 5 minutes while she did who knows what before she took my order. Then another 20 minutes for my food which was acceptable. When she brought my food to me, I was waiting on the porch, she acted like she was pissed off at me. I usually give a tip even on carey out, but not this time.

    Their specialty! Homemade chips...

    Love the place. Visiting from California & the food is delicious it's a must to taste their chips with meat. The ribs is tender & delicious. Service is well, server name was Lorie. Thank you for your great service. Will be back!

    Fired mushrooms and spicy cheese bites.

    Service- friendly and fast Ambiance- great decor inside and out Food- just wow! Great smoked meatloaf, awesome wings, ribeye sandwich to die for and all of the sides are incredible. You have to go and check it out!

    This place is a decent stop if you are going to the campsite down the road. Me and my grandparents went inside and sat down with the polite waitress. We didn't know what we wanted yet so she did give us time, which was about 5-10 minutes maybe. I ordered the pulled pork with macaroni and cheese. After half the way of waiting I beleive we got free chips and salsa for the wait, since it did take about 20-30 mins to get our food. I really liked the salsa and chips, the chips were a bit stale but the salsa tasted pretty good for a barbeque place so I was surprised. When I got my food the pork did have good flavor but the bbq sauce on the side of the table helped the flavour improve. The macaroni and cheese was also pretty good. The cheese stood out quite well and some pepper finished it off. Taste: 4/5 Service: 3.5/5 Appeal: 4.5/5

    Friendly & clean. They serve real food not just boxed food. The smoked chicken wings & the ribs are the best we've ever tasted.

    OVER RATED..... Don't arrive too hungry, you've gotta be ready to stand in a LONG line to get to…read morewhere the food is actually served. While you wait in the line, often much of the food becomes "sold out!" so definitely don't get your heart set on anything special you may want to order. I often want just a baked potato without any meat on it (just a simple baked potato) - but the youngsters running the place can't seem to sell me one without the meat! It's very frustrating honestly. Since I can't get my potato, I just order the mixed berry cobbler, which is outstanding but always fearful that it's not sold out by the time I get to the front of the line. The best thing about Smokin F BBQ is the ambiance of the live entertainment with both inside/outside seating, the longhorn cattle and the petting zoo.

    Wow! We arrived and found a place to park in the field. It did rain a lot on the day we went but…read morewith 90+ degrees the water evaporates before it hits the ground. Just have to say this as our friends that took us suggested we bring our boots. You just never know in July in TN! The young man that greeted us was very nice. It cost $2 per person to cover the guy singing and any soft drinks you want to drink. Coca-cola products! Got to love it! Anything else is BYOB. We got in line and figured out what we wanted to order after chatting with the couple in front of us and our friends. The young ladies at the serving "bar" explained the whole process. It's was all so good. Just need to go back to try everything else! One of the owners told my husband he liked his Detroit Red Wing's shirt! I thought they were from Texas but we will welcome more Red Wings fans! Honestly, you can't go wrong with any thing on their menu! Looking forward to our next dinner here!
