    Best loaded potato ever

    Don't be fooled by the exterior appearance because this little family run business has some of the best BBQ in the south. The loaded potato (see picture) is huge and piled high with meat for $8.00. We also got a pulled pork sandwich, which was so good that there was nothing left to take a picture of. Please note it is takeout only, but there are several tables outside under an awning and that is where we had our lunch, and some very enjoyable conversations with local residents. We will definitely be back again !!!

    My wife and I drove from Crossville, TN, back home to Dawsonville, GA. We planned to stop and eat along the way as we drove and were stopped at a traffic light on Highway 60 when we saw Dave's Spiced Right BBQ on the side of the road at the intersection of Highway 58. My wife looked up reviews on our Yelp app while we sat at the light and we decided to check this place out. It is a small, unassuming location that you could easily pass without noticing. I was watching traffic, and my wife noticed their sign with the slogan, "You Can Smell Our Butts For Miles." You walk inside to order at the counter and while it is a small area, it is moderately busy with people picking up orders they had called in. We were able to order quickly, but it took roughly ten minutes for our meals to be ready. Once we took our first bite, the time for them to prepare our meal was worth every minute. If you want to eat there, there are picnic tables on the front porch of the restaurant. There was no indoor seating or dining. We ordered the Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich Regular and it came with a small side of Slaw and a serving container of BBQ Sauce. The sandwich bun was large and very fresh. It was covered with pulled pork that was smoked with just the right amount of flavor from the Hickory. The pork was some of the most tender, juicy pulled pork we have had across the country. The sauce was a sweet sauce with a little tang. It complimented the sandwich well without being overpowering. The slaw was excellent. We will stop here in the future on all of our trips through the area. Excellent food and service. If we are heading home, I will pick up a 1 lb takeout of pulled pork to take back home, it is that good.

    Have a seat at the pew while awaiting your order!

    Picked up dinner here while passing through southbound on 75. My wife and I both had the jumbo pork sandwich, black eyed peas, and banana pudding. The BBQ was good, but perhaps we should not have gotten the jumbo bun because there was surprisingly little meat on both of our sandwiches. I ended up discarding half the bun and folding the other side in half, which made for a better meat-to-bun proportion! I also would have been happier if the meat had been warm... but I suppose that wasn't since it was close to closing... I guess it's a good thing that it wasn't warmed in a microwave! The black eyed peas and pork was delicious... a real treat. And, the banana pudding was wonderfully light... perfect. We were there shortly before closing, and I was surprised to see how busy it was... they are take-out only, and obviously do a brisk business! Still, the wait was short, and the old church pew was a perfect bench to wait on.

    Sometimes the best travel meals are the uncomplicated local spots where you can settle in and enjoy…read moresome good barbecue, and Hickory Pit BBQ was exactly that kind of Chattanooga stop for us. We ordered both the pulled pork sandwich and pulled chicken sandwich, and it was fun being able to try two of the barbecue options. Both were satisfying, flavorful choices and made for a great casual meal while we were exploring Chattanooga. I especially enjoyed the local, no-frills feel. Chattanooga has plenty of dining options competing for visitors, but there's something about finding a barbecue place that feels more like a neighborhood stop than a tourist attraction. If you're craving a pulled pork or pulled chicken sandwich while you're in Chattanooga, Hickory Pit BBQ is definitely worth checking out. Come hungry, grab some barbecue, and enjoy a little local Tennessee flavor!

    This is exactly why I love Yelp! We found this spot on a road trip and wanted something local. Holy…read moreBBQ spot... this was a gem. We got several platters (chicken and pork) and various sides. Everything was so good and tasted like your family made it for you. Some standout items: the coleslaw is super finely chopped which gives it a really good texture, flavor is great. The potato salad was creamy and perfectly seasoned. The pork was so Smokey and tender. Their sauce is super great, would pour that on everything. The fried okra was so tasty, we ate every piece. They have so much cheese in the poppers, delicious. If you're passing through the East Ridge area of Chattanooga, I highly suggest checking out this awesome spot for great food at an even better price. Thanks for the great experience!

While you wait in the line, often much of the food becomes "sold out!" so definitely don't get your heart set on anything special you may want to order. I often want just a baked potato without any meat on it (just a simple baked potato) - but the youngsters running the place can't seem to sell me one without the meat! It's very frustrating honestly. Since I can't get my potato, I just order the mixed berry cobbler, which is outstanding but always fearful that it's not sold out by the time I get to the front of the line. The best thing about Smokin F BBQ is the ambiance of the live entertainment with both inside/outside seating, the longhorn cattle and the petting zoo.

Just have to say this as our friends that took us suggested we bring our boots. You just never know in July in TN! The young man that greeted us was very nice. It cost $2 per person to cover the guy singing and any soft drinks you want to drink. Coca-cola products! Got to love it! Anything else is BYOB. We got in line and figured out what we wanted to order after chatting with the couple in front of us and our friends. The young ladies at the serving "bar" explained the whole process. It's was all so good. Just need to go back to try everything else! One of the owners told my husband he liked his Detroit Red Wing's shirt! I thought they were from Texas but we will welcome more Red Wings fans! Honestly, you can't go wrong with any thing on their menu! Looking forward to our next dinner here!

I especially like the atmosphere and the history of the house--it has a lot of charm and makes for a unique dining experience. Most of the food has been good, but the shrimp and grits were a definite miss for us. The flavor just wasn't there, and it's not something we would order again. Overall, I'd say this is probably one of the better places to eat in Dayton, especially since there aren't a lot of restaurants in the area that consistently offer higher-quality food. The biggest reason I can't rate it any higher is the service. We've had the same waitress both visits, and unfortunately, she just hasn't been friendly or welcoming. Dining out, especially at these prices, is about more than just the food. You want to feel like your business is appreciated, and we've walked away both times feeling more like an inconvenience than valued customers. That said, we'd still consider going back because the atmosphere is enjoyable and most of the food has been good. I'm hopeful that a different server--or a more welcoming service experience--would make a noticeable difference.
