The customer service here was a perfect five star out of five star. The food was just sub par. It was more so the quality. I'm not sure if it's because I came during off peak hours. The lady who took my order in front had a very country accent. It was very warm. She was very helpful and gave me a list of options and help make recommendations when I could. It decide. I ordered the two meat sample, sausages and ribs. And baked potato. The baked potato and sour cream was my favorite. If they would have put a little more effort into the ribs I would have given this place a perfect 5 star rating because the service was on point. I paid 20 dollars but only was able to eat the potatoes after taking only a few bites of the ribs. Maybe this could have been a fluke on the ribs because, like I said, the service was actually great. I definitely think this place deserves a second chance on the ribs. Because in this life, everything deserves a second chance. I was able to only able to take two bites of the ribs before noticing the lack of freshness. read more

We come to this location often as it is near our house. The parking is free (always a plus) and plentiful. There's also a drive-through! Place your order at the counter with the friendly staff. You'll be able to see through a window to the kitchen there. There are a lot of options for meats, sides, etc. ALSO they recently brought back the BBQ bread! I don't know where it went (to bread cemetery) I guess, but this last time I was there, they had it again. I was so happy. That stuff probably isn't good for my heart, but it's great for my soul. Anyway. I am a creature of habit so I tend to get the same thing every time, and every time it is delicious. BBQ Pork plate with mashed potatoes and creamed corn. I don't know what they put in their corn, but I'll take a gallon, thanks. My boys love their smoked turkey. I had to order another serving because shockingly, they all ate it and wanted more. It's the one thing they can agree on. Oh, don't forget the chewable ice machine! There's some TVs so you can probably watch sports. The only downside is it's almost always cold in there. Having said that, unless it's 75 degrees, I'm cold. So take that with a grain of salt. read more

The chicken wasn't as advertised. It was missing the onions and white sauce. It was covered in BBQ sauce. The dressing had a strong seasoning that was off. The turnip greens were ok. The banana pudding was just runny banana flavored pudding with 4 cookies and whipped cream. The cornbread was good. read more

The sides were fairly good.. green beans and Mac & cheese. The sausage and brisket weren't seasoned and were dry. The barbecue sauce made it taste a bit better but the sauce really didn't have much flavor either. I had high hopes with the good reviews, maybe I just went during an off day, not sure. read more

OK, so I have been doing smoked meats and sides for almost 40 years, and this was my first visit to Cutie's. The ribs were delicious, fall apart with just to right amount of flavor rub. The beans were super delicious! Definitely got this recipe right, same with the slaw, really good. However, I can't say the same for the brisket, first order was cold and dry, almost like it had been sitting in a warming oven for hours. Second order wasn't much better, tasted dry and old. No bark, tough. Saving grace for my meal were the ribs and the beans. read more

This Northern doesn't get a lot of good BBQ, so I was so happy to visit Bar-B-Cutie. First, they have a drive?! Love it! We went to dine inside and the place is spacious with tons of inside dining. The staff was helpful and friendly. The AC was also pumping and it was nice and cold inside. The menu is vast and has something for everyone. The cornbread was not what I was expecting - it was flat like a pancake but had delicious cornbread flavor. The fried pickles were perfect and had a great breading with a crunchy pickle inside. The BBQ was tender and had great flavor. 4 sauces were at the table along with a dry rub. I tried it all and I couldn't decide which sauce I liked. I also drank a ton of sweet tea and wow, so good! read more

Took my fiance here the other day and the food was incredible and the staff were so kind and helpful definitely will be back!

The meats have no flavor and are dry. You MUST use sauce because you'll choke and it's not seasoned. Beef brisket "meal" was pale, paltry, and an absolute waste of $18.95. Never again. Fried cornbread was stale. Mac & cheese was soupy but I liked it. Cashier was lovely though. read more

Spent almost $700 on catering. Was shorted about 5 boxed lunches. Spoke with the GM and she wouldn't do anything about it. This is the second incident we have had with this place. Will no longer be ordering from here. read more

I've been to multiple locations and this one is far the best. Usual goto is pork sandwich and fries which have been great the 4 times I've come. All the staff are very friendly and food is reasonably priced being that's it bbq. I drive past a closer location just to eat at this specific one. Country music on the radio, sports on every TV and the dining area is always clean. Cant ask for a better spot to stop and get dine-in or drive thru bbq that tastes great read more

The smell hits you when you pull into the parking lot, there's BBQ here for sure. While the smell permeates the air, my mouth began to salivate before heading inside. From the look of the building and restaurant I expected to find a host inside and was thrown off when I realized it was a counter service quick dining restaurant instead. It was unexpected, but nothing to be upset at. The interior reminded me of the interior of a Logan's Roadhouse with tables, chair, walls, and column all made of polished wood with grain visible throughout. Very southern, very country, very fitting. Behind the counter is a digitalized menu, with so much on it I was overwhelmed at first glance. I told the employee it was my first time and just got what she recommended so I didn't have to look at that digital mess of screen again! Upon recommendation we got the 2 Meat Sampler plate with Pulled BBQ Chicken and BBQ Pork, with Mac and Cheese and Potato Salad as our sides. Also included was a piece of fried cornbread (imagine a cornbread pancake). Not a bad meal for two for $14.95 The food was out and to us quickly, and served in a white styrofoam box (a COVID-19 precaution). You can see the usual sleek metal trays the food is served on in pictures from other reviewers. Time to eat! First thing I scarfed down was the BBQ Pork. The pork was served plain without any sauce smothering it, but was accompanied with several types of BBQ sauce that was available: Carolina, Sweet, and Mild (others were available behind the counter as well) The pork was tender, and juicy, and the portion size (of all the food) was good. However, I want my pork to fall apart in my mouth and just melt like butter. This pork lacked that distinctness I look for in pork, and could have used some flavoring to accompany it other than sauce. The chicken was not my favorite. It was a pulled chicken, but texturally and visually the chicken didn't look or feel as pulled as one may expect. It was clumpier than the pork when I expected a similar look. Unlike the pork this did come pre-smothered in some type of sauce. Unfortunately, the sauce was overly sweet and way too powerful to make me want more than a forkful or two of the chicken. I am a Mac and Cheese snob, and it really showed while eating this Mac and Cheese. The only way I can think to describe it is as watered down Kraft. The cheese had very little flavor and the only little bit of flavor I could find just tasted like watery cheese sauce. The pasta was well cooked but with that unpleasant cheese water taste just made the entire thing feel squishy and wet in the mouth. If I hadn't been so hungry I wouldn't have eaten much of it. The cornbread was unique and loved how it is served in a pancake like form. But just imagine eating the driest pancake you've ever had. Cornbread is a hard thing to get right, and I understand that. But it should be crumbly without being dry and with each bite of this cornbread pancake I felt like I had eaten sand in a desert and not any amount of water would ever be able to quench my thirst. For somewhere I thought was going to be a more middle of the road sit down restaurant, I can summarize that the Bar-B-Cutie chain is simply a fast food BBQ joint, and tastes about as good as you could expect for such a place. But when you add on the price surge of BBQ on top of what you'd normally pay for fast food, the food just doesn't meet the standard. read more

I purchased two stuffed potato's tonight that was supposed to have brisket in them. The potatoes only had a little sour cream a little bit of cheese and a blob of fat no meat in either potato. I was highly disappointed. I picked the fat out and just ate the potato for $21. I won't order for pick up again. read more

I saw this little spot on the way to my hotel and I decided to stop by. I was in the mood for chicken and I was hoping that they had a half chicken which they didnt. They had a drive thru which I was happy about. When I got my platter I was not happy wowwed at all. There was nothing to write home about. The mac and cheese was meh, my chicken was overcooked and dry. The baked beans were decent. The best part was the Johnny cake corn bread. Overall this was okay, but missed the mark in several areas. Would I return...not at all. read more

Bar-B-Cutie - Chicken breast baked beans mac, Johnny cake - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Wow! Amazing food, the greens were seasoned perfectly with some sort of vinegar. The to-go cups were filled full of greens and NO water. Creamed corn is heavenly, okra's crisp, cornbread is beautifully cooked. There are so many restaurants in our area, but this is my favorite of all. The guy at the window is friendly. We always get take-out. We have to drive several miles home, and food is always still perfectly warm. Thank you all for being consistently great! read more

The Good: The breakfast!!!! Really, got exactly what I wanted; good tasting over easy eggs with crisp bacon and silver dollar potatoes, with good coffee, for under $10!!!! As a bonus, I got good conversation with the staff and customers on a cold day in Nashville. This was a treat; one happy customer. The Bad: I was too full on breakfast to have the chili for lunch; but it looks good!!!! read more

This place was amazing!! Drive Thru Bbq sounded too good to be true, but I am going to come back here a lot! I tried the 3 meat plate with brisket, Ribs & bbq pork and a bbq pulled chicken sandwich Sides I tried were the beans, Mac and cheese, and baked apples And the dessert was the best Banana Pudding I've tried in Tennessee so far All the food was excellent and the drive thru moves faster than I expected, especially on the 4th of July when I went read more

I previously had Bar-B-Cutie catered at one of my work meetings out here a few years ago, so I figured I could pick some up on my way to my hotel. Ordered the brisket and fried pickles. I asked the woman at the window for bbq sauce when I ordered and again when I paid. She told me it was in the bag. Get to my hotel excited to have some bbq brisket, when I open the bag, NO BBQ! The meat was tender, but it's the saddest thing to have dry meat for lunch....do NOT dip it in the ranch for the pickles lmao. While I was very disappointed, the fried pickles were amazing. I just recommend you check your order before pulling away to make sure the sauce is in there...food is good though and I'm sure enjoyable with some sauce. read more

I was waiting for my flight at Nashville BNA airport, we stopped in to Bar-b-cutie and Scottie was our guy!! He was sooo happy and cheerful and super helpful, our food was delicious! I ordered the chorizo egg and cheese burrito, it was huge and very flavorful. The seating section was nice and clean. Made my time here fly by, literally. read more

Just skip it. The portions given don't come close to matching their prices. There's better barbecue in all 4 directions away from Bar-B-Cutie. If I'm paying $35 for it meal, it better not look child's sized. No one pays for tiny plates for pit master meals. The flavor.... Just ok. The value and quantity is too low for ok food. Brisket: Dry, flavorless... Needs more smoke and seasoning. There is so little... See pic. I do like their chili and corn bread. But again.... Why pay for ok? It's fine. Not good, great, no delicious.... Just meh... read more

Bar-B-Cutie - Pit master certified brisket plate. For toddlers? - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This *particular* location has always been great in my experience. The food is always fresh and I think you get a lot of it for the price. You actually get a decent amount of your side(s) here, not a tiny ass scoop like at other BBQ places. Friendly service every time, too. I ordered from another location and it wasn't as fresh and they got the order wrong. So I just make sure to keep frequenting this spot on Nolensville. read more

First time and the entire staff greeted me with a warm and friendly welcome like I was a regular. The young lady recommended the sampler platter #2. I ordered ribs wet, pulled pork, stuffing with gravy, fries, and a cornbread cake(also known as a Johnny cake). Needless to say the before and after Pics tell the whole story. Everything was very good. The ribs were meaty and juicy. The pulled pork was delicious, the stuffing was delicious and so was everything else. I would eat here at least twice a week if I could. Today, I ordered the sampler platter. Ribs,pulled pork, and grilled chicken, with a loaded baked potato and cornbread and coleslaw. All I can say is that thermal was the best I've ever had. A real quality meal. Everything was done to perfection. If you really want to know how it was, you need to try it for yourself. For all you bbque experts, keep going because this food is so good, you'll find an issue with it. Go on to your fancy over priced, over smoked, bbque smoke house. This is just great food at reasonable prices. Kudos to the staff. Great service and even better food. This is my go to place for que! read more

Being from NC I try not to be to critical of places outside of the greatest BBQ on the planet. But really I'm disappointed. I heard this was the go to place for BBQ and my food was DRRRRRY! I mean not a morsel of moistness or succulence anywhere to be found. Then I streak of sweet bbq sauce I specifically asked to be on the side. What's up with TN and the streak of sauce? Mop the pig with the sauce....I just... I don't wanna go into the sides. depression. The meat was seasoned but it was dry and I wouldn't recommend this site. Maybe a different site is better. read more

Got the party pack and three gallons of tea today. It was awesome but 16 Construcion workers cleaned it out before I got my share. The sides were good and the small sliver of pork I got was as great as always. I will definitely be back. Would have given 5 stars but didn't get enough food to give it a proper rating! read more

I am giving it five stars because the staff is nice and the sit down part of the restaurant is fairly roomy. Prices are a little high and portions are a little small, but all things considered, I would return. read more

Best BBQ in Nashville as far as I'm concerned! Their breakfast is AMAZING and they have great BBQ sausage, pork, and chicken for lunch and dinner as well! All the sides are delicious too! read more

Bar-B-Cutie is a good place for quick fast bbq. I'm not going to expect Edley's level stuff here but I will say that for a local chain bbq the pulled pork is above average. Not just that but on Wednesday the pulled pork sandwich combo is a little over 5 bucks. The mustard sauce is pretty tasty and the hot has a little kick to it, but not too spicy. They have a large selection of sides but I would stay away from the mac n' cheese, it's not very good. I think the attention they put on the main bbq meats is the main focus but all that attention has a cost and that comes from the side dishes not much seems to be put on them. read more

DELICIOUS!!! Baby back ribs were moist and the meat fell off the bone. Baked beans were good, Mac and cheese a little dry. But overall an outstanding meal if you're looking for good Nashville barbecue. read more

The kids working decide whether they want to accept to go orders lol. That and the food isn't great.

one star only because zero star is not an option. most UNSEASONED bbq. got the family pack & my family & i was VERY disappointed & confused. i had to put my own seasoning in the bbq. i couldn't wait to get on here and share my horrifying experience. WHITTS is way better than this and whitts is terrible! read more

I met a couple friends for dinner last night... We originally went to Chicago Style Italian Beef.. But due to the creepy people constantly hanging around the doors and the horrid eat in atmosphere, along with the fact that their credit card machine wasn't working (gave us a reason to get the hell out!) we ended up going down the road to Bar B Cutie.. This is the smallest Bar B Cutie I've been visited of late, but that didn't matter. I got a large pulled pork sandwich and mac n cheese. The service was quick and our food was out in minutes.. The Mac n Cheese was average, nothing special, but good enough.. That's where the average stops... The Pulled Pork was some of the best I've had in the last couple months. It was all meat, very minimal bad fat attached. It was seasoned and cooked to near perfection... Seasoning was peppering with a good hint of smoke.. It was cooked very well, not too long where it just falls apart and not too short where its tough... The pork had been shredded well and we free of any large debris..I love that the pork comes un-sauced and I'm free to mix and match the sauces on the table to create my own unique flavor. I will be back to this location to see if it can continue its run.. Well done! read more

Stopped by on my way down to lowes, it was about lunch time and I had wanted to try this place. My first trip the cashier tells me it is all about the pork and to try their lunch special a pork sandwich. Very reasonably priced, excellent flavor, plus love the selection of sauces at the table! Kind of a order at the cashier, take a number and they bring out the food, but that is the last you will see of server... but you don't need much, all on the table and serve yourself drinks. 1 Food - I thought was pretty well done. 2 Service - Cashier very friendly, food runner also pleasant, no complaints. 3 Ambiance - good crowd, but not too noisy. If they had full service at your table would have been 5 star. Just me, but overall, good food for a reasonable price, people were friendly, no cons off the top of my head, I thought they did a good job delivering a good product in a reasonable time frame at a reasonable price. Very satisfied, will definitely be back! read more

I know this is a chain but this is pretty good TN BBQ. It is down with TeamPortions by the way. The brisket was delicious. Tasted fresh. Plenty of meat that the Bar-B-Cutie establishment placed on my plate. the Mac and cheese was pretty damn good too for a restaurant. Lot of places screw this up. I am a potato salad head and I found this to be tasteful as well. Huge Texas toast and you will be napping in no time. I also want to add there are a gang of food options on their menu from sandwiches to plates. Their homemade BBQ sauce was pretty good too. Definitely recommend and will go back playa!

Bar-B-Cutie - Sample platter - Barbeque Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Everything tasted real good. The ribs were moist and pulled pork was yummy. This was the second time we dined here but we hadn't found anything we hated. We loved all of their food, except the cole slaw. It was kinda "meh" type thing. Other than that, food is worth every penny. Highly recommended! @Jesse Q.: You asked me why I didn't deduct a point because of the cole slaw. Here's the answer: I vote all the places (mainly restaurant) based on many things: cleanliness, service, products and price, etc. This place has good price, always clean (for at least 7 times or more I've been here), food are prepared freshed (not like the other Bar-B-Cutie I tried, their ribs were forever frozen). The staff and manager are always nice to me even though my accent is hard to understand sometimes :). Cheers! read more

Place is very good BUT The lady at the window said it was bbq sauce in the bag and good thing we asked her to give us two more because it was NONE in the bag at all. Then I look on this site for reviews and it says the same thing. Can y'all stop lying to us? Please and thank you. read more

This place has awesome BBQ. This place was recommended to me by more than one person so I figured I should go. Smart of me cause this place rocks. I got the pulled pork sandwich and fries and my friend shared some fried pickles with me. Boy was it delicious, all of it. I ate too much but what the heck ....it's barbecue. Service was fast and we were a large group that swooped down on them at lunchtime. It was all handled very well. Seems that a lot of people agree this place is the spot. Come to California so I can eat barbecue more often, please. read more
