Backyard Bar Be Cue - White beans and cornbread - Barbeque Near Me - Brownsville, Tennessee

Warning *Tough Post Alert* In my travels to Memphis TN and then to Union City, TN, I have passed by this restaurant on at least 6 different occasions. The 7th time I decided to stop, and I wish I had kept going. To put it simple, it's the works BBQ ribs I've ever had in life. Most things I eat and don't like I can find something decent to say about it. These ribs were simply inedible. They were not seasoned and lack flavor. They literally tasted like 2day old ribs. The sides were decent and I was able to finish those. Based on my experience I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

I flew in to Memphis from Dallas, TX for work and the fat girl in me was craving some BBQ. On the way to Jackson, I looked on Apple maps trying to find a place that was on the way and the food looked good. So I found this place and the service was really good. They even let me know the cornbread was fresh from the oven so picked that. The inside definitely had the southern touch and felt like I was back in Texas. I got the brisket, potato salad, coleslaw, cornbread, and sweet tea. It was very good! The meat was nice and flavorful, coleslaw wasn't siting in juice, and cornbread was definitely homemade. Their sweet tea is good but not as sweet as Texas sweet tea but we like it so sweet we want to die happy. I couldn't wait to get to the hotel to eat, so I don't have a pic. Definitely will be putting this as a bookmark when I come back out this way for work! read more

I heard an advertisement on the radio and literally drove right beside so place. So I stopped in. Can't say enough positive about the staff. They were great. Lilly took my order and payment. And also gave me my food. That's where service ends. I had the Pulled Pork plate. The BBQ was average at best. It wasn't bad. It just didn't have any flavor. And NO smoke to it. Potato Salad tasted just like Kroger Southern Style. Macaroni and Cheese had no flavor and was runny. I quest the best thing I had was the Banner Pudding. It seemed to be home made. If I come this way again? I might explode other options. read more

Backyard Bar Be Cue - Pulled Pork Plate & Banana Pudding - Barbeque Near Me - Brownsville, Tennessee

Was in town for the night, so I needed some good hot eats. Found Back Yard Bbq on Yelp, the reviews were decent so I swung by. There is a drive-thru line which was long af when I pulled up, so I went inside to order. The young girl at the counter was friendly and smiling. I ordered the Rib plate with baked beans and potato salad. The meat was tender, not chewy and tough at all. Could have used a little more seasoning but it was good nonetheless. The potato salad was nicely done, although I did add a nice bit of pepper to it. The baked beans were your average baked beans, nothing extra. Good though. I enjoyed my meal and the friendly service. Would absolutely come back. read more

Excellent food / service, love their baked potatoes and the brisket. Large quantity of food always fills us up. read more

I love their potato's, the pulled chicken as well. But when you have gloves on for arthritis or carpal tunnel and serving the public in a restaurant is terrible. You're handling cash payments, going to the other end bagging food and touching the plates with the gloves helping on the people that are dining in. The health department should take a look into this because this is not sanitary AT ALL. I get it if they help and for a condition but please put plastic gloves on over the arthritis gloves you may have to wear. Please and thank you read more

The food was cold and unseasoned but this is nothing new the pulled chicken was dry and it had no taste

Brisket was tough as wet leather. Pulled chicken was dry. The pulled pork was fair. Baked beans and slaw were ok.

Great BBQ! If your looking for the best BBQ in Brownsville, TN this is the place. They have other items as well as specials daily. They are my favorite place to go to read more

It's Only 8-10 minutes off the I-40 so we decided to stop for lunch on our way ti Memphis. They have drive thru & dine in. You order at the counter. I got a jumbo baked potato & my husband got a pork sandwich with fries. That plus a large soda was $13- not bad! The side of fries was a pretty small portion though. Our food was good & a good value. read more

Perfect Spirit of Barbeque! It had an amazing rustic atmosphere that I'd love to bring my family to over and over.

Food was extremely poor quality! Canned green beans, canned baked beans. The potato salad was pre- made from Sisco as was the coleslaw, yet that was doctored "up" with pickle relish?!? It was horrible. We were told the brisket was not sliced ‍ Ok that's fine I was curious and would have been fine with it had it been good. Dry! Came out like pulled pork only pulled brisket. Dry and tasteless. Barely edible. The bbq sauce was good and that came on the side. So dousing your meat in it was it's only saving grace...! I sincerely don't understand how the lines were as long as they were. They seem to be quite popular? I couldn't tell you why. I don't bash businesses. I'm just saving you the experience and the expense. read more

Nice bbq joint, service was friendly and they have drive thru if needed. I prefer my brisket sliced but they serve it chopped so I wasent expecting that and didn't like it. The sausage was yummy, baked beans were flavorful and hot, potato salad was yummy. Save room for the homemade banana pudding. Closed on sundays. read more

Every time we're either passing through or end up working in town we come here for the ribs they are the best! I love the hot bbq sauce, I've want to try other things but I always order ribs. read more

Great variety, ribs are smoked, which I like because I can take them home and put my season on them to my taste. Great grilled chicken, the chicken salads in the tortilla bowl are awesome!! read more

Amazing food and value‼ EAT HERE ‼Hadn't planned on stopping in Brownsville but after my tire blew out I had it fixed- the best part was this place with huge portions and down home good cooking. Highly recommended ‼ read more

I will Have to say this was a really good Meal, I am from Arkansas. This BBQ was amazing! Bologna and cheese sandwich was spot on!

Pulled Pork sandwich was good the BBQ sauce was very good as well! The sweet tea was kinda think! Overall very friendly... try this place out read more

It impressed at all . Bbq was tough and sandwich size was small for the price . My son did like the stuffed potato though.

Great food and customer service. Clean place to eat some yummy ribs. We loved the cole slaw, beans, ribs and brisket sandwich. Delicious!!

Just passing through, man this place was delicious and just what we needed for lunch for our road trip. Thank you again for the good food and great hospitality. read more

Was really looking forward to Helen's Bar B Q just up the road but she was closed on 4th of July. Came back to this place as a last resort to try some good bbq in a small town while passing through... Friendly staff overall, but I couldn't get a straight answer out of the guy that we ordered from when I asked which of their items he recommends. Tried the turkey, pulled pork, and ribs, all of which were cooked well but strongly lacked flavor. After putting enough BBQ sauce on the meats it then had flavor. Couldn't detect much smoke in the food. I think I would advertise this place being "The Best Sauce in Town" read more

BBQ pork is always great. Giant stuffed potatoes are sometimes a little on the small side but not always. just check it before you leave if your going through the drive thru. Potato soup is awesome. Onion rings are beer battered so they're great too. Corn bread is served as muffins. Get extra because their awesome. read more

Loved the beef brisket plate. Baked potato is very good too. Highly recommend. Eat here for lunch whenever i'm in Brownsville.

Great for lunch, barbeque is excellent. My favorite is the smoked turkey sandwiches and the loaded potato. There's generally a lunch special, and they're top notch caterers! read more

Wonderful food at a great price! We've tried lots of different foods here including BBQ sandwiches, BBQ nachos, loaded baked potatoes, chicken strips, salads, and BBQ chicken quarters and it's all been served quickly and tasted great. read more

Had the BBQ ribs, was disappointed with the rack, not very tasty and too much flame taste. Great chili. Nice restaurant atmosphere. But its self serve, no waitress service. Ate with plastic. Is this a resteraunt or a picnic? But the prices are great! read more

The pulled pork was good. I've had better cole slaw and beans. In fact they were just bad. The man who took our order sure could be more friendly. read more

Come hungry - leave happy. Every time I visit here I make a point to stop in and have their pulled pork sandwich. The large is a full meal in itself but I can't resist a side of beans with it. This visit they had lemon ice Box pie - I had to get a slice to go as I was too full to eat it. The people are fabulous and so friendly they make you feel like you have just pulled up a chair in their "back yard"! read more

Great food and feel to the place. They had good ribs and the bbq sauce is great. The fries are very greasy but when you dip them in the bbq sauce the grease washes off :). read more

The restaurant is about a 5 minute detour off off I 40. The barbecue was outstanding. And they also had vegetables, stuffed baked potatoes and lots of customers. We really felt it was worth the drive to get a bit of local flavor. read more

I had the chicken an dressing an it was amazing! Staff was super friendly an restaurant very clean
