Knoxville Restaurants


You're welcome. Use a simple brine of salt, sugar, & water...but go a little light on the salt as you'll season the outside. In fact, the last few butts I did I only used salt and little black pepper on the outside.
 
There's a new BBQ place in a converted gas station on Kingston Pike just a bit west of Pellissippi and next door to Home Federal Bank. Their smoker is next to the Pike and the visibility must have been about 100 feet when I drove by about two weeks ago. I got the impression that they don't know WTF they're doing.

That would be an incorrect assumption, provided you are talking referring to Full Service BBQ.

Update On Copper Cellar Concept on Middlebrook:

They found out last minute that they needed to add a sprinkler system. Plans had been previously approved by the FD but then for whatever reason came back and changed that on them last minute. They are about 95% done in the main dining area, and are finishing that up as well as the pipes running to the outdoor patio, and then they will start on the parking lot. A really rough estimate for opening is about 2-3 months. Being a new concept the name probably won't be released until the last minute.

If the FD is requiring that they sprinkle the parking lot, then the Copper Cellar isn't getting the bribes to the right fellers.

See a few posts above yours for reference: they definitely know what they are doing. I have wondered, though, about how they get away with smoking up a major highway. The same goes for their Maryville location.

Cool, thanks.

Still wondering what the concept really is. I imagine the food won't be a big departure from normal.

The main building and the outside patio.

Last I heard it was going to have country style theming and decor and the style(if comparing it to other Copper Cellar Concepts) will be closer to that of Smoky Mountain Brewery. They plan to have live music on the patio and it does have decent sized bar inside so it sounds like it'll be aimed at the younger crowd. I'm sure their excellent beer cheese will be available. Hopefully we'll see sooner than later what the finished product ends up being.
 
Stopped by full service BBQ west this week. The ribs are solid but this batch was overpowered with smoke. Did not enjoy the TN whiskey sauce. Sides are about what you get at Kroger. Overall, pretty good for ready to go bbq but won't go out of my way for it again
 
Finally tried Full Service BBQ in Farragut -- very impressed. If you like smoke, it will probably be your favorite Knoxville Q. We had the ribs (amazing bark), pork, and chicken (surprisingly moist). The sauce is tangy with just the right amount of heat.

Highly recommended

I live very close to there and the place is usually bumping when I go past. The one in Maryville is pretty good, have not tried this one yet. My fave BBQ is Bread of Heaven in the Alcoa Big Lots parking lot!

I just ate my own pulled pork bbq. Decent but not great. I did it in a crockpot though so to be expected. Real deal takes a lot of smoke and lot of time and I had neither.

Best BBQ around. Would suggest either the nachos or the brisket. You can go on Friday and get burnt ends. I have not been to either of the ones in Knoxville just the one in Maryville.

I've never noticed a ton of smoke....just great smelling goodness :rock:

I agree on the Bread of Heaven. He used to have a lunch buffet in Alcoa when he had a store. That place was my favorite BBQ, something about his sauce I loved. Since he no longer has the store for lunch I prefer Full Service.

What kind of sauce does he use?
