"I have eaten from this place a few times but today was a special day when I came in to have lunch, our wonderful ladies of Bar-B-Cuties were on the loose providing that wonderful service they are known for!!! A true home feel with people ready to make your experience a great one! The place accommodates large groups and Family size portions, so FYI. Staff is super attentive and this is one of those joints that caters to a bunch of regulars so it feels just like home! I also posted their sign for Drive-Tru hours! The place is NOT for people on a diet! That being said, let’s get into it! I ordered the Cornbread sandwich with Brisket with a side of Green Turnips. I gobbled it lol and it was absolutely delicious, full of that good Southern love! I had a taste of all their sauces which in my opinion you should try…. They are all great but my personal favs were Carolina and Sweet sauces!!! Some yummy stuff here!!! Add it to your bucket list of your near the BNA (airport) -Nashville area. I promise to update you on dessert, you all know me, that’s my evening treat! Video and pic just added! This stuff is great!!! Thank you ladies!!! This is a Valdi approved joint!!!"

"Picked this placed based off of the amazing reviews that were given and wasn't disappointed. Everything that came out was great the turnup greens and sausage was my favorite. The fried pickles with the Jalapeño Ranch were to die for. The service was excellent. Sad there wasn't any brisket left but as being a smoke house and getting there late, I knew better lol."

"We go here quite often and I love everything I have ate so far. I have several favorites. The baby back ribs OMG are wonderful and the Brisket. But my favorite meal is Hamburger Steak with gravy mashed potatoes and fried okra and fried cornbread. With a big glass of sweet tea.Prices are still affordable food is great and the service always good. The restaurant is always clean. Check it out if your looking for southern home cooking you will get it here."
