Where do you think serves up the best BBQ in Tennessee? Here are a few of our favorite barbecue restaurants in the state:
Larry’s Bar-B-Q at the Wagon in Decherd
Known for its mustard slaw, this restaurant off of I-24 near Winchester, sandwiched between a Shell station and a strip mall, is a cross between a country barbecue joint and a cozy café. Read More >>
Helen’s Bar-B-Q in Brownsville
We love the pulled pork, Polish sausage and ribs at this small West Tennessee BBQ joint, but don’t take our word for it. Pitmaster (mistress?) Helen Turner has been crowned the first-ever Queen of Barbecue by the Southern Foodways Alliance. Read More >>
Corner Pit BBQ in Bryson
This family-owned barbecue joint in rural Giles County has been around since the 1960s, and the same vinegar-based sauce has been passed from owner to owner. The current pitmasters use a wood-smoking pit to cook the pork and added a spicy tomato-based sauce to the menu, along with farm-to-table burgers made using beef raised on their farm just a mile down the road.

Ridgewood BBQ in Bluff City
Foodies come from miles around to enjoy one-of-a-kind barbecue from a family that cares about maintaining the restaurant’s original charm. Ridgewood’s signature BBQ dish is pit-cooked with a heavy-smoked taste, then sliced thin and piled on platters or massive sandwiches with a tangy sauce. Read More >>

Bozo’s Hot Pit Bar-B-Q in Mason
Located on Highway 70 between Memphis and Brownsville, Bozo’s is the place to go for tender, juicy ribs on Friday or Saturday nights, with sweet slaw and baked beans on the side. Read More >>
Big Ed’s BBQ in Red Boiling Springs and Lafayette
With two locations in Macon County, Big Ed’s smokes its pork to perfection. Order the shoulder sandwich, but you should probably ask for the “dip” – hot, vinegar-based pepper sauce only available in the small northern Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky region – on the side.
