Came to town to see the JD Distillery, like most. Was recommended Barrel House by the guide. When I tell you this was the best BBQ I've ever had, I completely mean it. The restaurant itself is small, however, we did not wait long to be seated. Honestly, I'd wait an hour plus, that's how good everything was. Service was great. The pulled pork was the most flavorful pulled pork I've had to date. Their house made BBQ sauce should be flavor-town USA signature sauce. The ribs punched you in the mouth with flavor, they don't even need sauce. That's how you know they're gangster! The sides, the potato salad, honestly was some of the best I've ever had. Baked bean were delicious, with the right amount of sweet. The sweet potato casserole is worth coming for alone, I'll leave it out that. I am fortunate this place is only 30 mins from me, I'll be back regularly.

I visited on 7/8/24. The atmosphere was very similar to a dive-bar, but that's exactly what you'd expect in a place like this. The ribs and spicy sausage were the best pieces of barbecued meat I had during my 4 days in Tennessee; lovely smoke and tenderness on the ribs, and the perfect heat from the sausage. The sides were pretty average (the slaw was as finely chopped as KFC's, so there wasn't as much texture), and if you told me that the baked beans were poured out of a can, I'd believe you; they weren't unpleasant, but I expected something more. That being said, the quality of the meat covered a multitude of sins! I'd return if ever in the area again. P.S. The Men's restroom had what may be the best piece of graffiti that I've ever seen written, "Revenge of the Sith is the best Star Wars movie." Amazing.

This is the definition of a hole in wall in the best way possible. We came here prior to our Jack Daniel's tour and it's walking distance from the distillery, so it's easy to just park in the tour lot or in town (can get to everything with a few minute's walk). This place was packed, but things move fast here and we were able to be seated quickly. We all got pulled pork sandwiches for a quick lunch and the BBQ was good (not the best we've had, but it was tasty). Portions were good and we left there satisfied. The restaurant itself is a no-frills country BBQ shack and every square inch of the walls are covered with either with writing or money from around the world. It's a good place to grab a quick lunch if you're in the area.

Kicking up my heels over this place! The food was delicious!!! Mouth watering, savory, comforting goodness. I loved the atmosphere. Tagged walls and money covered each end of this restaurant, which is the character and charm of this place. Service was friendly and excellent. We got the Crack Jack Grilled Cheese which is pulled pork, pepper Jack cheese, on sourdough bread. Add some bbq sauce and you go straight to heaven. I will forever be chasing this taste. It was that good. The baked potato pulled pork mash was great too, and potato salad. Located in small Jack Daniel's Distillery town, Lynchburg, with a bunch of shops.
