Fresh off trying the other nashville bbq last night I can wholeheartedly say Shotgun Willie's blows them out of the water.

We ordered one of the platters that came with brisket, sausage, ribs, bread, and 2 sides. For the sides, we got potatoes and green beans. The prices were a little high, but not astronomical. We didn't wait very long at all for the food. I'm usually not a brisket person, but theirs was delicious! It was so tender that it melted in your mouth. The seasoning was perfect with plenty of salt and just a little bit of spice. The sausage (especially the jalapeño cheddar) was super juicy and full of flavor. The ribs really fell short. They didn't fall of of the bone and they weren't very tender. I think they weren't cooked long enough (not raw but not "done"). Definitely get the green beans! They were delicious as well (not healthy - nothing here was healthy). For dessert I got the banana pudding, which was probably the best part. It was fresh, chilled to the perfect temp, and delicious. They didn't have hot sauce - that was a huge bummer. Also their BBQ sauce wasn't that great. The good thing is that the meat had so much flavor that you didn't really need the sauce.

The location couldn't have been more convenient, and they handled our group smoothly even with the pre-concert rush. I ordered the lean brisket, jalapeño & cheese sausage, mac & cheese, spicy beans, and cornbread--and every single item delivered. The brisket was tender and flavorful, the sausage had just the right kick, and the sides were classic comfort food done right. The lean brisket spicy beans especially stood out. Best of all, it wasn't just me--my aunts, uncles, and mom all agreed the food was excellent across the board. Great atmosphere, great service, and seriously good BBQ. We'll absolutely be back next time we're in Nashville!

Best for me was the smoked cabbage. The chicken nachos are pretty good though I dislike processed nacho cheese and it was heavy on the cheese. I appreciated that it was light on onions. The beef brat was what is call Polish sausage and it was decent. They're dependable. I would skip the egg rolls next time though I was impressed that they're hand rolled. I liked the way the catfish was fried though the grease could use refreshing. The baked beans and corn have an odd flavor, and the corn is very chewy, like sick to your teeth chewy. My daughter liked them, I did not. All in all, it was ok in a pinch but I'll try the 'que next time.

Just realized I have not done a review, and I'm bot sure how I missed it. We've been here at least…read more5 times in the last few months. BBQ is subjective, but this location is hands down our favorite spot for wings. Smoky, spicy, flavorful. The ribs are good, and they have several different sauces you can try. On their recommendation, we leave it in the bag til we get home. They are always tender and moist. But, I think the thing that makes this location special is the people. The very first time we came through, the sweet woman working the drive through made us feel like she was happy to see us, and grateful for our business. The one time we came and they were out wings, she said call ahead and they'll hold some for us. So tonight, I called ahead and got myself a tray with my name on it, and we were welcomed like family. The dining area is tiny inside and parking is tight. But drive through is easy easy. Please give them a try, and tell em Char said hi!

If you consider this BBQ, then I am a rocket ship…read more This isn't BBQ. This is comfort food. If they marketed it like that my review would be different. This place could call itself a Meat and Three and probably do better. If you order their brisket it's not what you will be expecting. It looks and tastes like braised pot roast. Absolutely none of this is to say that their food is bad. I love BBQ from all the cross the US. I honestly can't call this any kind of traditional BBQ, and what I had I'm not entirely sure was smoked. So honestly and objectively, if you are hungry you can get a good meal here if you want a Meat and Three and close by. It does need to be said there are better Meat and Threes, that DO have BBQ that are better though.

The brisket was tender enough but didn't have much depth or smoke. The ribs were nicely cooked and tender, but again, light on seasoning. Beans were good, potato salad was decent, and the smash burger landed somewhere in the middle. The ordering setup wasn't my favorite -- ordering before sitting down and having to go to the bar for a beer took away from the experience. Nothing was bad, but nothing really popped either. Good, not great.
