    After a tour at Uncle Nearest Distillery, we needed a quick bite. The largest bar attached to farm stands was a little too noisy for us so we came to the Barrell House bar b q for sandwiches. The ladies got ribs for later. I ordered a shredded pork sandwich to eat there and a chicken to go but received chicken on both orders. They were both good but I can't comment on the pork as I was too hungry to send it back and wait. I liked the atmosphere and the counter operator and waitress were attentive.

    This particular location is located at the Uncle Nearest Distillery. You can see it from the parking lot. That saying there is free parking to the restaurant. The staff was friendly and greeted us as soon as we entered the restaurant. There was no line. We reviewed the short but concise menu. It had all the main bbq items that you would expect to be available. We got the brisket sandwich with mac n cheese and loaded potato with pulled chicken. We heard another customer saying how good the brisket was. You seat yourself, and food is brought out to you. The restaurant was a stable repurposed into a restaurant. The stalls were turned into bench tables, which had sliding doors so you could close if wanted. Some of the prized horses from the farm were pictured throughout. I think it was great to honor the former owner and horses trained there. Our food came out in decent time and decently priced. Brisket was good. The mac n cheese was okay. The baked potato was covered in cheese but under heat too long. The chicken had good flavor but needed more. The food was okay. It was decent. We were hungry, so it held us over until we could eat again later. I was hoping for a better bbq food experience.

    Great service and excellent food! Service was quick, easy to customize and brought to our table quickly even though we ordered at a counter. The food was phenomenal! My pulled pork nachos were covered in cheese and very tasty, the grilled cheese on crack was equally satisfying. Lots of seating options, inside, outside, table or booth. The restaurant had the a/c on and it felt chilly, so if you run cold wear a jacket or sit outside.

    The hubs and I always pass by here when we're in town visiting family. I'm soo glad we did, because this is a place I will frequent when hungry. It is located at the nearest green distillery in Shelbyville Tennessee. Upon entry we noticed how spacious and beautiful the decor was. Honestly, I'm hungry at this point, so let's get down to business. There was specials happening since it was memorial weekend a menu was titled honor day. The employees at the register were kind, efficient, and helpful answering any questions. Once the food was paid for a server would call your name, and bring it to your table. High turnover rate so food was fresh and fast. For appetizers, brisket nachos was ordered. I highly recommend this!!! Brisket was incredibly tender and flavorful. I could eat a pound of this! I had A plate of pulled chicken, toast, Cole slaw, and potato salad for sides. My in laws had the ribs and pulled pork plates. Cole slaw was creamy, crunchy and slightly sweet. At this point just make a sandwich with all the meats, and throw the potato salad, and coleslaw on top to devour. You will be doing a food dance!!! Oh and the private seating with a movable door was such a nice touch. There was live entertainment as well!!! Just a great experience we will be back!!!! Hopefully in a few months:)

    Excellent bbq. The pork, chicken and sausage were scrumptious. Fast and friendly service. Ample seating. The have a nice selection of adult refreshments on tap. A special thanks to Ashley for recognizing us and gifting us a US Military coin.

    I came to the distillery for my birthday since I was in Nashville and I'm so glad I did. I had been looking at this menu every week to see what I'd get and they did not disappoint. We could smell the aroma and flavors of the bbq from the hall way as we walked in. The inside space is not huge but there's also seating outside with amazing views of the grounds. They have booths with barnyard style doors attached to each section, I loved that. The lady who took our orders was so nice and everything she suggested was a hit. I don't eat greens at all but when she said she helped with them I had to give it a try. The minute she let me sample the mac and cheese, I was sold. I had the brisket grilled cheese on crack. The moist brisket was so juicy I couldn't even finish it all. The star was the half pound of sausage. I've never had sausage that literally melted in your mouth, that's how good it was All the employees was so friendly and hospitable. They truly made this experience worth it.

    Ribs, sausage, Mac n cheese, and greens.

    Stopped in for a tasting at Uncle Nearest so we were hungry and this place was on site. We ordered the grilled cheese on crack with brisket and it's definitely well deserved of its name. It was delicious, tender brisket, and the Texas toast is perfect for it. We also ordered the 2 meat plate with sausage and ribs, along with Mac n cheese and greens. The ribs were tender not Smokey but good flavor. The sausage was great, cooked perfectly and tender. The Mac n cheese was not that good, needed seasoning and more cheese. The greens had great flavor and cooked great.

    Simple and Delicious! This restaurant was simple, very clean and very good. It has a simple menu but packed with great quality food and great flavor. The brisket was cooked to perfection and the sauces took it over the top. Again, like all things at the Nearest Green Distillery, the food was reasonably priced. The meal portions were generous and the staff were friendly and helpful. Our sandwiches were so good!!! BUT THAT BREAD PUDDING was a WHOLE VIBE. It was heavenly. It was warm, savory and satisfied all of my taste buds. WHOMEVER made that bread pudding, I would like to marry. Bread pudding never looks appealing but I never expected this bread pudding to warm my soul the way that it did!!! And I have had a lot of different variations of bread pudding. This is a restaurant worth trying and being a repeat customer.

    The sausages were wonderfully cooked. The ribs were 7/10. The briskets were 7/10. The star of the show was the suicidal bbq sauce.

    Don't sleep on this small but outstanding option. It's…read moremostly a take-out place, but there is one table and 11 booth spaces inside. They feature pork, brisket, chicken and sausage which you can order as a sandwich, dinner or stuffed potato. I got the brisket dinner and my wife got the chicken stuffed potato. Both were on point. Reasonable prices. Friendly counter staff. Winner.

    We were coming back from buying a dishwasher and pulled up to this tiny barbecue spot that used to…read morebe called Uncle Sonny's (?? still not 100% sure what it's called now, which honestly adds to the experience). No website. No branding. Just vibes, smoke, and cool accents. And some ads for discounted tickets to a community wrestling match taking place tonight. So naturally, we ordered: Brisket sandwich Pulled pork plate + 1/3 lb of sausage Fried pies (chocolate & lemon - because obviously) First impression: this is the kind of place where you trust the food immediately because the building looks like it could survive a tornado and a country album cover at the same time. Brisket sandwich -- super solid. Not trying too hard, just smoky, tender, and exactly what you want when you're in the middle of nowhere and questioning your life decisions (in a good way). Pulled pork plate -- this is where they flex a little. Juicy, good bark, and the kind of portion that makes you reconsider finishing it... and then you finish it anyway. Except my teenage daughter, who hadn't eaten anything all day except a Kodiak protein cup, didn't quite... 1/3 lb of sausage -- yeah, that was a solid addition. Smothered in a mix of mild, hot, and sweet bbq sauce, it was good without being too greasy. Fried pies -- listen. These are dangerous. Crispy, sweet, probably made by someone's grandma in the back. If you skip these, you've made a mistake. Overall: No frills. No nonsense. Just really good barbecue in a place that may or may not have a name. 5 stars for food +1 star for mystery branding I hope our dishwasher lasts a long time, but if not, we'll be sure to come back here!

I love the hole in the wall vibes that…read morethis place gives off because they blend perfectly with the small town charm of Bell Buckle. I ordered 1/2 pound of brisket and it definitely hit the spot. There was a little more fat hanging on the edges than I typically like to see and the bark had an acrid taste to it, which made some bites less enjoyable. The brisket was super tender and juicy so that's always a good one. I'll definitely be back!

    BBQ ALERT...there's a new Texas BBQ joint in the hamlet of Bell Buckle, TN!!! I was walking around…read moreBell Buckle and as I rounded the corner I was stunned by the sweet scent of BBQ and could not resist entering Alley BBQ. I met Madilynn McReynolds at the counter whose smile lights up the room and was very welcoming. She told me they have been open for about 5 months and the smoker sits behind the restaurant. I can see where the name of the place comes from, it's about as big as an alley so seating is limited. I decided to go with the Cowboy Sampler and the sausage, brisket, and chicken option plus some beans and potato salad. The brisket is on point with a subtle smoke flavor, very tender, moist, and a nicely seasoned bark. The chicken was tender with a light smoke and the sausage had a nice pork flavor, not overly seasoned, and the casing was firm. I really enjoyed the potato salad, very different flavor as it included chunks and pieces of green olives, sadly I wasn't a fan of the beans. They also make their own BBQ sauce, a sweet & smoky flavor and really compliments the meat. I also met the McReynolds family...was a pleasure to talk BBQ with Jeremy and Crystal, wonderful folks who are intent on providing a good experience for their customers. Overall a solid offering of Texas style BBQ while the service and atmosphere is awesome.
