BBQ in Knoxville

[Mark A]

Hey folks, I need to cater a lunch for one of my customers and they want BBQ. Can you guys in the area throw me a couple of names of companies I can call?

It is a smaller lunch for about 30

I appreciate any info, Mark

I am partial to Buddy`s BBQ.. maybe try them? if you have them down there..

Their smoked Turkey is OMG fantabulous..( for thanksgiving that is )

[peejman]

Famous Dave's, Calhoun's, Buddy's, Sweet P's, Full Service BBQ (Maryville) , Whitts (Maryville)... had them all. All pretty good.

[Dolomite`s Breezy]

He is in Nashville .. maybe Maryville is a bit far for him..lol

Dead End BBQ on Southerland Ave is good.

[Dolomite_supafly]

And of all the Buddy's, and we have tried nearly all of them, the one on Magnolia is the best.

Riverside BBQ on Oliver Springs Highway is pretty dang good.

M&M and Pup's Pit are very good as well. M&M does catering, not sure about Pup's.

Here's a fairly comprehensive list of many of the local places....http://www.metropuls...arbecue-joints/

Fat's BBQ and Love That BBQ off Old Maryville Highway. Love That BBQ is very, very good and I would highly recommend them over just about anyone else in Knoxville. There is also Sweet Peas which is good.

I like Sweet P's in south Knox, M&M in north west Knox, and Dead End BBQ on Southerland ave

So, 11 posts in and no arguments on what the best is.

When should we commence?

Almost a record, eh?

See what Jack's on Trinity Lane would charge. Their's is good. I'm not sure if they cater, though. I'll bet they do.

Just a million decent BBQ shacks in Nashville to choose from.

Did pup's pit move? I used to drive by it all the time and noticed they aren't at their old location.

I'm your huckleberry, say when!

When I worked at my previous employer, we had catering done fairly frequently for different events. I can say I have had most of the suggested at one time or another. Although, individually - M&M's was my favorite, I was not impressed by their catering. Not a very good spread at all.

The best catered meal out of the above mentioned, in my opinion, was actually famous dave's.

[Mark A]

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I actually like Famous Daves for catering but my preference is to use a local place if possible. I think I will contact a few and see what they have an keep Dave's in my pocket in case none of the rest of them work out.

Thanks again. I just popped some popcorn and sat down so please start fighting.

I know it is a thread for Knoxville, but Ridgewood BBQ is the most popular here in the Tri-Cities and is pretty well known. It's definitely worth a visit if any of you are up this way.

I haven't tried the places mentioned in this thread because I'm not in Knoxville that often. We do have Cade's Cove bbq in our tent at the races and it is pretty good.

I may be crucified for this but ridgewood does NOTHING for me. I'm not a sliced pork fan. I think pork should be pulled. Now Phil's dream pit on the other hand has the best ribs EVER! Yes i said it...if anybody is up this way stop by Phil's you won't be disappointed. It's on I26 off the Eastern Star exit right up from the 81 intersection...

I'll have to try some of the ribs at Phil's. I haven't been there yet. Thanks for the tip, though. I'm always down for a good rack of ribs. I'll try it next weekend, once the race and fair traffic clears out. Have a good one.
