    Recommended by a friend, hamburgers are great. Old fashioned milk shakes and ice cream treats shouldn't be missed. Service was fast and friendly, glad I stopped on a recent trip to Jackson, just a block off Hwy 45.

    Stopped by for lunch recently and had a cheeseburger and fries- couldn't leave without one of their milkshakes- the caramel one!!! This place is a great example of a simpler time- I watched as an employee went outside to take the order of an older couple who looked like they were having to struggle to get out of the vehicle. That gesture alone makes me want to tell everyone to eat here! It was super clean and the burger and fries were just like I remember food as a child- Thank you for the experience.

    The place is old and could use renovating, but the burgers are second to none.

    Cheeseburger, onion rings, vanilla milkshake and a hot fudge cake is all you need to have a memorable meal here. The service is usually quick except for Friday and Saturday nights. Cash only so don't forget to stop by the ATM before you arrive.

    The food is just blah. I do like the ice cream though. Also, they only take cash but they do have an ATM.

    Not bad food, but seriously: "Where's the beef?" My burger was microscopic. The waitress was so-so; I doubt she liked her job.

    Excellent place and great service…read more We needed BBQ on the way to Memphis and this place showed up on Yelp as highly rated. We thought it was a brick and mortar place and were somewhat hesitant when we saw it was a food truck as these are hit or miss. This was a hit. We met the kindest young lady behind the counter who sorta looked like Brittany Spears/Tori Spellman and she was very patient and helpful with us. Even a customer in line gave us ordering suggestions. The employee also informed us of the air conditioned shipping container in the lot that had indoor seating. We chose that as we didn't want to eat in the car and it was air conditioned. Inside it was quite nice for a shipping container. It was wood lined and lots of seating and even a bathroom! For lunch we finally decided on a chopped brisket sandwich and a smoked bologna sandwich which came with sides. I had read about these smoked bologna sandwiches and people said to give them a shot. I did and am still not impressed although they are a damn sight better than the Oscar Mayer ones I grew up with (yuck!). There was nothing wrong with it, I just would rather have brisket, pork or ribs instead. The sides were very good as well. I loved the BBQ baked beans and the vinegar slaw. I also had the tater salad. After eating we ended up buying a bottle of their BBQ sauce to take home for later. During our meal, the owner, Mitch, stopped in the shipping container area and was kind and charming. He told us about the business and about the hickory wood he uses for smoking and it's benefits. We also discussed the shipping container buildup and how great it looked. We encouraged Mitch to expand if possible as his food and ambiance was top notch. I was really impressed by Hunt's Tennessee BBQ. I would definitely return here again and try the other items as well.

    Only had time for a quick stop. We had the pulled pork sandwich with white sauce and vinegar slaw…read more I've had a lot of BBQ. This isn't an enormous sandwich but it reminds me of Lexington BBQ back in the day. I've gotta say, this is a top 3 sandwich from here to NC to TX. The staff at Hunts were super friendly!

    Very good price point vs. fast food joints…read more Wife got a pulled chicken baked potato, and I got a jumbo pulled pork BBQ. She got a drink, I got drink and fries combo adder. Place stays super busy, prepare to wait for your food, but was delicious. $25 for lunch, and yes I will be back !!!

    California dude here so, I'm obviously gonna give you 5 stars! Obviously because I'm no bbq expert…read moreexcept the fact that I love it! Upon arrival to the great state of Tennessee, I obviously had to go get me some bbq. My buddy, who I came to visit, lives right down the road and he strongly recommended this spot. Obviously, needless to say, so glad he did! Obviously. What we ordered (which was waaaaaaay too much food), the #2. 1 1/2 lbs of delicious pulled pork. With two sides, Cole slaw and baked beans. And 8 buns. The set up was so dang simple it made me cry with joy hahaha. Not really, obviously. This was for 3 people btw. The pulled pork was fire! The baked beans were so good as well. The Cole slaw, well, it was cole slaw :) The customer service was fantastic and oh my, everything was put together in a lickety split! Took all this wonderful grub to the house and we feasted on some good ole Tennessee barbecue! Honestly, I have never really been a fan of pulled pork, well, till now! Took home the spicy and regular bbq sauce, all of it, awesome! When in Jackson, TN...you must give this spot a try! You will not regret it!
