Selections are fabulous, pork, beef, and turkey and chicken various sides that are all delicious. One of the parties at our table and they only had enough ribs for the other person so we had to wait 25 minutes or more for rib ribs to come out out of the smoker. They finally just said give it to me to go. The turkey baked potato and coleslaw and sauce that came with the turkey was abundant and tastyM The atmosphere is very loud between all the people and the music. It's an uncomfortable loud. It may be because we went on a Saturday evening and Valentine's Day so I'm not sure how it is during the week or regular Saturday evenings. I would try it again if it weren't as busy that might be why they ran out of some of the food and our party had to wait.

First of all, be prepared to search for parking but I found a parking garage about a block away. I walked in and was greeted by a very friendly bartender who made a good bit of conversation with me. I appreciated that and he recommended the wings. I wish I had taken him up on the wings. More on that in a moment. I felt like pulled pork though so I went with the sandwich and Chipotle mac and cheese. The pulled pork was tender, seasoned well, and went well with all the sauces. I never had Chipotle mac and cheese as it was a little spicy but oh so creamy and cheesy! There are 4 sauces - 3 on the table that are tomato base (mild, Chipotle, and Habanero) and the Alabama white you have to request. The Alabama White was my favorite as it was very black peppery. And that is why I should have taken the bartender up on the wings because that sauce with the wings would have been amazing. The other 3 sauces were thick and rich. My sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Very good BBQ overall though it is limited and pricey and worth a visit to downtown Knoxville.

We ordered: the ribs, delicious flavor but small portion, the special chicken wings, lively toppings and flavor profile. The salad was light and refreshing with the most amazing vinaigrette, the hush puppies were extra hot (temperature) and perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The Reuben and Pulled Pork sandwich - the pulled pork was good (I'd give it a 3) but the Reuben was the star. The banana pudding was also yummy but lacked a crunch of a cookie!! The staff were helpful and knowledgeable, super positive! Plenty of seats available and no wait to be seated.

I learned that Knoxville hosted the 1982 World's Fair, so we walked around the old fairgrounds and then down to the river. Beautiful area and a perfect day to just hang out. At Calhoun's, I loved our waitress, sitting out on the deck, my blackberry margarita, and the chicken tenders with honey mustard. The bacon-wrapped burnt-end brisket was tasty too, although a little dry. Maybe that's just part of being burnt ends. Honestly, I thought most of our food leaned a little dry for me -- except those chicken tenders. Maybe in Tennessee, the barbecue sauce is supposed to do more of the heavy lifting. Either way, great food, great weather, great company, and a very good day all around.

We've been to Bradley's BBQ around 8-10 times now, and unfortunately this has been a consistent…read moreproblem, not a one-off experience. On every occasion, all our food has come to the table COLD. While the staff is eager to remake it once we say something, the issue is never fixed on the front end which leads to a lot of wasted food..which is frustrating and completely avoidable. We keep coming back hoping it's finally been addressed, and it never has. The overall experience feels extremely low-effort. Food is served on paper & with plastic, which immediately cheapens the visit. Much of the food comes out looking unappetizing, as if it's been slopped onto the plate, and at times it even looks microwaved rather than freshly prepared--especially disappointing for a BBQ restaurant. The food being delivered by a robot is also completely out of place and honestly awkward. It doesn't fit the restaurant at all and draws uncomfortable attention when it comes to the table rather than enhancing the experience. The bathrooms are another issue. They've been dirty on multiple visits, and there are no paper towels at all--only one of those hand blow-dryers. That might work in an airport, but it's incredibly impractical in a restaurant, especially when you're trying to clean kids' hands or faces after messy BBQ. The only reason we've continued to give this place chances is the friendly staff, and the hope that maybe the next visit would finally be better. The ice cream shop next door is honestly one of the biggest reasons we stop at all. Overall, the experience feels bare minimum. I'd rather run through a drive thru chain. It's unfortunate because this place has potential..but it's hard to recommend unless real changes are made. For now this was our last visit.

Best BBQ Buffet I've Seen!…read more So this place does a cool and different kind of thing. You can order like normal or you can have a buffet which I recommend where you pick your meats, which are also all you can eat to go along with the tasty buffet. Meat refills bring you back to the counter for an easy experience. Good brisket meat. I liked that they asked how moist I like it. Tasty and well seasoned meat. Strawberry shortcake was tasty! Butterscotch pudding reminded me of childhood. There is also a fruit buffet we were excited about but then forgot about until we left. So much eating! 4 different types of tasty teas! There are puddings, potato salads and other stuff that is in the refrigerators at the entrance also that is included with the buffet too! My only complaint is on my own self. The food was so good I ate way too much and needed to sleep afterwards! This is a new favorite for me when in the area. What are you waiting for? Go feed your inner animal at Hillbilly's!
