Great food. The brisket is one of the best we've ever had. The pulled pork was above average too. All the sides we ordered were good too (beans, Cole slaw, Texas Tater Tot casserole, and Mac n cheese). It took a little longer to go through the line than preferred, but the food was worth the wait. If you don't come early or late, then you may want to bring some folding chairs as tables were hard to come by after ordering. The live music was a nice touch too.

Lovely atmosphere and delicious BBQ with no complaints. Good music and friendly and polite staff. But I wish they would make the handicapp parking closer. Folks like my wife with mobility issues have a hard time walking that far thru a gravel parking area with a walker. We drive 1 hrs and 20 minutes to eat there. It is worth it. Thank you guys,David Brown

We ordered a smoked ham for Easter, this was the first time we had ever tried or heard of this bbq place. I cannot say this enough, PHENOMENAL quality. Great taste! We pulled into the parking lot and were helped immediately on where to pick up and we were even reassured that we made the right choice in choosing them. Everyone we served this smoked ham to was highly impressed! We will definitely be coming back!

We loved our first visit and can not wait to get back. We had the brisket (Five Stars), ribs and half chicken with a few of their awesome sides. Everything was GREAT! We shared the banana pudding on the drive home and wish we had bought more than one. The atmosphere was great and we enjoyed the live music. Well done Smokin F Bbq!!!! We will be #jeepn4que this summer and look forward to many more visits.

This is by far the BEST place we have gone to eat anywhere in East Tennessee! Their road is in between a corn field and soy bean field and the first time we went we were sure this was a small little hole in the wall and no one else even knows about it. How wrong we were. The parking lot was filled with at least 100 cars and pickups. It was a beautiful location. So beautiful, that my family strolls the property, takes in the sites and at the end, looks out over the property and wishes they never have to leave. Lol. The food was absolutely incredible! What we thought would be small portions wound up being SO much that it was difficult to finish it all. You do have to arrive earlier than later because they tend to run low near the end but they definitely let you know way ahead of time while you're in line. The service was incredible! Everyone there is SO nice and friendly and accommodating. When you're there, you feel like family. I love how they're Faith, Family, Food, Farm and Freedom. This place is THE place to go to for the BEST dining experience!

First time coming here. Drove the 45 minutes from Knox. Did not disappoint! The hubby and I got the Brisket, Chicken, and half rack of ribs. Along with Potato Salad, Jalapeno Creamed Corn and the Tater Casserole. To finish we got some banana pudding (with bananas). I made a point to try both kinds of BBQ sauce along with the house made ranch. Everything was amazing!!! Hopefully we will be back soon! Well worth it 100%!

The first time, we drove out to the middle of nowhere (Philadelphia TN) to eat and do a little shopping with vendors that were there, and kids could get pictures with Santa. Rustic farm feel is the environment. If you want to eat here, come as they open, or you will stand in line. We waited for 1.5 hr to dine here. The staff was friendly and worked quickly. Once we got our food, we went to a large dining hall where, at times, they have live bands. During our visit, Santa and Ms.Clause was there. The food was delicious, and I highly recommend those peach bake beans. They do sell out of items, so go early and enjoy this unique restaurant. Santa and Ms. Clsuse left before we could get a picture, but the staff allowed us to get our own pictures.
