Knoxville TN, where to go?

Dead End Bbq is a good one.

Been there quite a few times, I really like their brisket and sausage plate with pimento mac and cheese and red white and blue slaw.

Calhoun’s on Kingston Pike is a bbq experience with good atmosphere and a dining area that resembles a bbq Pit. Full service BBQ, also on Kingston Pike is good for a more industrial el fresco bbq being located in an ex-gas station with smokers rolling outside and piles of wood and smokers in the car wash! They also have cornhole! They do a lot of takeout but have picnic tables undercover so you can watch the smokers and count cars on Kingston Pike. Dead End is on our list for July trip.

Never been to the Calhouns on Kingston, but been to the one on the river right in Knoxville many times. Great atmosphere and service, but average Q in our opinion.

Used to like to have brunch there on Sunday mornings and sit out on the deck and watch the boats. They had fried chicken and biscuits with a vegetable gravy that was really good.

Tony Gore’s Smokey Mountain BBQ, located east of Knoxville on Route 66 just north of Sevierville.

Small place with indoor and outdoor seating. He uses two big offset smokers to produce some fantastic BBQ.

He is also big into Southern Gospel Music.
