Bristol BBQ - Loaded tater tots with pulled pork $6 - Barbeque Near Me - Bristol, Tennessee

See all

While the food is great! Apparently, there is a new policy where "large" orders are not accepted between the hours of 11am and 2 pm. I suppose "large" is 3 loaded tots/fries, a loaded potato and 2 lunch meals. Not to mention, we did try to call ahead so they could be prepared but was told they didn't take large orders over the phone until 2. Nothing was said about large orders in person. I work for a local company that USED to frequent Bristol BBQ for lunch, but not anymore! We'll take our business somewhere they want it. read more

Bristol BBQ is a must grab and go meal. They're Mac and cheese is to die for literally. The pulled pork and chicken is always tender and they add just enough sauce to get you through. I recommend the platter option you get more meat and a roll on the side plus two sides. read more

Once again satisfied to the "Max". Got pulled pork sandwich which was Awesome as usual only been there a few times but never a bad experience. I wished the delivered (LOL). Keep it up!!! Thanks! read more

Incredible pork barbecue. Sauce is the BEST I have ever tasted (except for the homemade sauce my wife's family made in Bells, TN...thirty years ago when they were alive). Pork platter has a healthy portion of excellent pork...try some without sauce...I always put some to the side to eat without sauce. Yum... Sides...TOTS are heartbreakingly good eith BBQ sauce on them but have NOT TRIED fries. Rumors are they are to DIE FOR. Bbq beans are full of bacon and 9.8 on a scale of 10..mac and cheese is wonderful. Could eat just sides...but I don't want to go without the pork...mmmmm People very nice. Quick service hot food why haven't you moved to Bristol yet for this BBQ??? read more

Best BBQ in the area. Must try if you've never had you're food prepared on a Big Green Egg. This is real BBQ, not the smoked ham sliced and slathered like an ArbyQ pablum that's served around here. The meet is sweet with just the right hint of smoke to flavor it. Slaw actually comes on the sandwich without having to buy it as a side and apply it yourself. A novel concept lost on most East Tennesseans. Again, some people call smoked ham BBQ around here. The Sweet Tea is perfect too. The brewing of tea has become a lost art like southern biscuits and Bristol BBQ nails it perfectly. I cannot say enough about this place. And the prices are great. The ideal roadside BBQ stand expense. I felt compelled to write this because I miss good Q. I've driven 1,500 miles on a BBQ road trip before to give you a hint of my obsession. Try Bristol BBQ, if you don't like it you probably wear brown shoes with a black belt. read more

Amazing bbq, fast and accurate service 10/10 I tried the loaded potato and absolutely loved it. The portion was huge and it ended up being 2 meals for me. They had a good array of options - especially for such a small place. read more

While it is drive through only, the food is excellent and the portion sizes are large enough for left overs. We had the brisket platters with potato salad, cole slaw and baked beans. It was delicious and we will definitely come here again! read more

Sososososo happy! Cheap, quality, good meat, fresh bread, great flavor and cooked to perfection. We just stopped by on our way out of town and the fast drive through was perfect for us. Loved seeing where the roast. read more

Top notch BBQ. Owner seemed super friendly. I would definitely eat here again. We got the bbq chicken sandwich, chicken platter, tots, bbq beans, and Mac and cheese. The bbq sauce is awesome, not too sweet. Tots are obviously delicious. Bun was good quality. Bbq beans were really good. Max and cheese was ok. 100% would recommend. read more

Delicious everything we ordered was yummy I ordered the pulled pork and my husband Ordered the pulled chicken both were very good. For desert we got the bread pudding it was perfect. I would go out of my way to come here again! read more

Delish! My husband and I were driving thru on a road trip and wanted to stop for a quick bite. Found this gem. The pulled pork sandwich was great! Bun was huge, but light and airy. Plenty of BBQ sauce, but they give extra incase you like it extra saucy. Had tots and potato salad, potato salad needed a little extra flavor. All in all great experience, friendly staff. read more

Chicken BBQ! Yay! Great sides! Great iced tea! Slightly disturbing because it's pickup only - you can't get a sense of the kitchen. Are they just microwaving my food? read more

The first time I tried Bristol BBQ was thoroughly impressed but the second time I was really disappointed. Everybody has good days and bad days and hopefully I just hit a bad day that second time. Will go back again when in the area. read more

Found this place while exploring the region while at Trail Days. Very good BBQ, and VERY friendly service! I like that since there wasn't a line the owner got talking to us about our visit to the area. Say whatever you want, but this is why I love visiting the south. I find people are so much more friendly and welcoming once you get talking to them. And this business is no exception, friendly service makes a huge difference and is often rare where I am from. Great little roadside BBQ place. I will make a point to return when I come to Trail Days again. read more

They serve delicious, sweet BBQ. The loaded fries are covered in cheese, BBQ and other trimmings; fries are a must have side order.

Good BBQ is hard to come by, finding great BBQ is almost impossible. Bristol BBQ has done the impossible!! Great staff, great food, perfect sweet tea, and an even better price! I experienced the pulled pork BBQ sandwich and of course not one but two sides of Mac & Cheese and a sweet tea for $8 and some change!! A great drive thru for a quick and tasty meal! Stop reading and go eat! read more

The BBQ was cooked perfect. I had the pulled pork. The loaded tots were amazing. The food tasted like sit down dining in a drive through. It's located in an old Java Js coffee drive through. The owner was actually working the window and when asked about purchasing the pork buy the pound he replied "any way you want it". Now that's service. Highly recommend and again a locally owned joint so Bristolians let's be supportive. Great job guys keep the wonderful food coming. Can't wait to visit again. read more

May be fine for single meal ordering but family sizes are shorted and less than charged

One of the best BBQ sandwiches in town and by far the best price. You can get a 'small' BBQ sandwich with slaw for $2.50. And the small is a normal size bun. The meat is prepared on a Big Green Egg. It's tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It's drive-thru only. If you love BBQ you will love Bristol BBQ. read more

Just called to place a office order for four employees. I was rudely told they don't take call ahead orders from 11-2 and can not accept orders for over five people. I did this to help the business have time to prepare the order. Guess what!? We normally have 9 employees here and we eat lunch everyday. We will not be eating here in the future and we have thrown away their menu from our restaurant menu stack! I think it's best we just part our ways and not purchase anything from you. Best of luck to you Bristol BBQ!! #keepupthegoodwork #beingrudewillnothelpyourbusinesssucced read more

Great on the road BBQ. We had wonderful pulled pork sandwiches. Easy to access from the highway and quick service. Will definitely be back if we ever drive by that area in the future. read more

Decent BBQ. I've tried the pulled pork and the ribs; they're both good. The ribs fall right off the bone and they use the big green egg smoker for all their smoked meats. Drive-through only. Edit: the last few times I've ordered the ribs, the meat did not fall of the bone. The meat didn't even pull off the bone. They seemed undercooked. Blackened on the outside, still tough on the inside. The BBQ nachos is something I've been trying from here lately, and it's pretty good. I actually request that they leave the cheese off because it looks highly processed and it doesn't even melt that well. The pulled chicken is a healthier alternative and is quite juicy. read more

This place has the best pulled pork I have ever put in my face anywhere it has consistently been good smoked well and not fatty or wet, if you come to Bristol and like real barbecue don't miss this place read more

BBQ is fantastic but a little pricey. My son loves their Mac and cheese and my wife loves their fries. A great place to pick up some quality BBQ. read more

This place is amazing never had anything but greatness I just love there loaded nachos. The Brunswick stew is great also .

Way way way better then it looked. I mean drive thru BBQ, I was expecting the worst. But ended up with the best pork sandwich I have had sense moving down here. And the pricing is fantastic. Drive thru often read more

I visit Bristol several times during the year. I have family there. I've driven by the location many times, and there's always cars in the drive line. I'm not a big BBQ eater but if it right I enjoy it. I do crave BRISKET. So I took a chance to purchase a brisket sandwich. They told me it been cooking for 17 hours and would be ready in and hour or so..... MUSIC TO MY EARS... Well, where can I blow a couple of hours .WALMART... OK Two hours fly by I'm back in line at the Bristol BBQ. I get my brisket sandwich with bake beans and mac and cheese. OMG All of the food was amazing !!!! I am real picky about bbq sauce. this sauce was the best. The bread or bun was a perfect accent to the moist brisket. In the future every visit to Bristol will include a stop at Bristol Best BBQ !!!! read more

I have enjoyed BBQ all over the US but I think this is the best. I have tried almost everything on the menu and it is all great. It is strictly take out but that works for me because I normally get food to go. They do a great job. read more

Do yourself a favor and swing into this little joint. Food is outstanding. You won't regret it.

Great good and very friendly. We were just in town for the night, and found them on the internet. Once we got to the window they made is feel like family while taking out order. Got back to the campground and the BBQ was awesome and the side were great as well. When I come back to this area will defiantly be eating here again. read more

Bristol BBQ - Amazing BBQ loaded tater tots!!! Gotta go back for more!! - Barbeque Near Me - Bristol, Tennessee

06/27/2014 - Great little place, take away only.. Had dinner there twice in one week. Pulled pork sandwich / coleslaw and potato salad. All were excellent. On Friday I had 1/2 rack of ribs, beans and slaw. OUTSTANDING! some of the very best I have had anywhere. You should try it out. The four Big Green Eggs in the hut beside the drive through gave the area a great smoky smell that made the food all that much better. I will eat here again anytime I am in Bristol. read more

Yummy!! Great BBQ!! Wonderful tater tots and ranch!

We love this place so much - every time my sister and I come home we have to have some Bristol BBQ. Highly recommend the loaded tots and the loaded potato, and I love the slightly spicy bbq sauce. read more

We are from California so we aren't used to a lot of great barbecue but this place had the best barbecue we had had in a long time. Pulled pork was tender and the barbecue sauce was the best I've ever had. The loaded tots are ridiculous and a full meal in themselves. Would definitely stop here again! read more

Went here for the first time this afternoon. The pulled pork sandwich was awesome...just the right amount of smoke in the meat. Generous portions too. I got slaw and Mac and cheese for my sides; the slaw was great, but I wasn't crazy about the macaroni. For the price it can't be beat. Will definitely go back for seconds! read more

Wow just got the pulled pork sandwich with colelsaw, One of the finest sandwiches I have ever ate. The bbq sauce complimented the colelsaw perfectly with the flavor of the pork, with a good bun that did not fall apart. Your lucky Bristol. This is good stuff. read more
