    Big John's Bar-B-Q - The pile of fries is the only thing large about their "Large" BBQ sandwich.

    It's a sign of the times that even small town BBQ spots are wildly overcharging. I ordered the…read more"Large" BBQ sandwich and as you can see the wimpy portion of meat doesn't even extend outside the regular sized hamburger bun. I like their sideways chip cut style of fries, never had them before, and the baked beans are some of the best I've ever had. Actually the beans were the best thing in the meal by far. BBQ sauce was rather bland, and nothing special about the pulled pork. The drinks are overpriced and not very good (I had sweet tea and lemonade). I'll also say the service is hardly what you expect in a small town, downright unfriendly. They didn't call out my number and when I was pretty sure my food was on the counter I politely asked if it was mine and they oddly gave me an attitude about it. Bathroom was clean (towards the end of their lunch rush) which is a plus. I don't know, I guess I'd support this place over the fast food restaurants in the area, but eating here made me kinda sad to be honest. That even small town businesses in America are losing their heart and soul.

    This place was interesting. It is the only BBQ within like 50 miles of Hohenwald. I called just to…read moremake sure they were open. They were. It was a Thursday. There were not a lot of people there. All the BBQ and sides are made to order. The okra is hot! The BBQ is ok. They do not have brisket which was a little disappointing. But everything else was good. They have tea, lemonade, or Pepsi products. Their sauce is ok. It tastes like regular BBQ sauce. All meals are served with 2 sides and a piece of Texas toast, only toasted on one side? (This must be a TN thing?) Anyway, food was decent and service was ok. Restaurant is definitely dated and needs upgrades. All of the bench seats are completely ripped which makes it uncomfortable to sit. We switched seats like 4 times because of this. Staff is really nice and works hard. It is what it is for a small town BBQ joint. There really isn't much else around.

    Big John's Bar-B-Q - BBQ beans are the star of the show here. The sideways chip style cut fries are interesting. Both are better than the flavorless pulled pork.
