It's a counter service joint; you walk up, order, and then someone runs the food to your table. First off, they asked for a point of service tip; that bugs me when I'm ordering my own food at the counter and fetching my own drinks. The menu is fairly standard for a southern BBA joint; brisket, pulled pork, ribs, turkey, chicken. I am generally suspicious of any place that offers chopped brisket. Brisket is meant to be sliced and enjoyed as a slab of meat, not as a pile of hash. So, the chopped brisket sandwich was out for me. I asked if the brisket platter would be served as slices, and they assured me it was, so I ordered brisket with two sides. They recommended the beans and the Mac 'n cheese, so that's what I went with. They also asked me if I wanted the meat lean, marbled, or half and half; I took that as a good sign, and asked for marbled. They food came out in about 5 mins; just enough time for me to head to the soda fountain and fill my own cup. Maybe they should tip me? On the plus side, the portions were pretty large. I'm guessing that the served at least 6-8 ounces of brisket, and the individual sides were pretty large as well. On the other hand, whoever sliced the brisket simply didn't know what they were doing. They sliced it WITH the grain, producing slices full of stringy meat. Stringy meat that was hard to cut with the plastic cutlery provided. I find it hard to believe that anyone who regularly serves BBQ brisket doesn't know to cut the meat against the grain. The meat appeared to feature a nice bark; however, on further exploration, a) the bark was so tough that it couldn't be cut as all with the plastic cutlery, and b) when I tore into it with my fingers and ate a piece, it had no taste. Not even a basic Texas salt and pepper rub could be detected. A large portion of tasteless, poorly cut meat does no one any favors. The beans were a little underdone; IMHO, that's far better than mushy, overcooked beans. However, they, too, had no flavor. No spice, nada. The mac and cheese was shells in a white cheese sauce. Strike 3; zero flavor for the sauce. I don't know how you can make cheese sauce without flavor, but they managed to do so. I have never, ever thrown as much food away at a a BBQ joint than I did today. What a shame. Not recommended, not even a little bit. Try Martin's or Edley's; if you prefer a chain, Mission BBQ will do you much better than Hogwood.

I went with the BBQ pulled pork sandwich, 2 sides: Slaw and the Potato Salad. They have white sauce available at the "drink station", otherwise traditional BBQ sauces on the table. Sandwich was great, I always put a bit of slaw on my BBQ and added some white sauce. It was delicious! Slaw is vinegar based and includes a bit of kale, it is fine. But the Rosemary Potato Salad was really good! Just a bit of bacon in there too to complete the flavors. Others enjoyed the Hatch Green Chili Grits which is a nice take on traditional grits. Staff was super friendly and as we sat around the table, they came over to our table after lunch asking if we wanted a mini Moon Pie to complete the meal! Of Course! Restaurant is neat and clean, good BBQ option and the sides make it!

And I'll bet you can find even more descriptive accolades in your own vocab as soon as you try them. Bite into the tender and unusual diamond-scored nine inch (!) dog and you'll immediately realize this is neither the texture nor flavor of a traditional dog. It's something else altogether. I chose the "Whiskey Dog", soaked in Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey Whiskey, topped with grilled onions, shredded cheese, and their "signature sauce". And, FYI there are lots of other toppings from which to choose.) I truly have no words to adequately describe the combination of flavors and textures....save for umami, sweet, crunchy, hint of smooth, melting cheese shards, grilled to oh-such-goodness. I had a side of one of my favorites: yuca fries. Oh!!! Take me back to my very early days as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Colombia! Crispy fry-like staves perfectly seasoned on the outside and tender-hot pillowy inside. I simply cannot wait to return and try some of the other incredible offerings.

You know, maybe I'll order for the whole family and we'll have a share-a-thon of these delightful creations from Jim and Stella (owners) at Smokey Doggs.

BEANE BROTHERS BBQ & CATERING, TEXAS STYLE 114 Front Street…read moreSmyrna, Tn www.beanebrothersbbq.com Ph #: 629-318-1020 I haven't written a review in a while but today changes that. We ate at a 'new' place today and it was amazing. I say 'new' because I didn't know it was there. There was something going on at the railroad depot so we went to check it out. When we were parking I noticed the 'new' place and told hubby we were going to try that place before we left. Am I glad we did. Amazing. When you walk it it's a relaxing atmosphere. It's nice and clean. The BBQ aroma had my tummy growling. Grab a menu and order at register. When that's done you seat yourself and they bring your food to you. But let me back up. I forgot to tell y'all the name. It's BEANE BROTHERS BBQ & CATERING, Texas style. 114 Front Street. I ordered the porker sandwich & cowboy beans. Hubby ordered Brisket Mac Sandwich. My porker sandwich was big. Stacked high with pulled pork & topped with coleslaw. Normally I wouldn't eat with coleslaw on top but today I did and Im glad I did. So much flavor in both the coleslaw and pulled pork. I never finish a sandwich but today I did. Hubby was so proud of me. The beans were also flavorful but if you don't like spicy don't order these. I usually don't eat spicy but these were great. When my hubby's Brisket Mac sandwich arrived it was also piled high with Brisket & Mac & cheese. He didn't want the Mac & cheese on it and ask that they put it on the side. Gets his order and the server noticed where he asked for it on the side. Told my hubby she was going to get them to fix it in the kitchen. He assured her it was ok. He would try it that way. Lo and behold he loved it. He downed that huge sandwich and cowboy beans in record time. Said he could eat more but I told him I was getting cobbler to take home. We just ate some of the peach cobbler and cherry. We added vanilla ice cream and that was also delicious. I can't say one bad thing about the food. So if you want BBQ please try this place. You won't regret it. I apologize for this being so long, I just wanted to make sure to give as much info as I could for you guys. Your friendly food critic Claire

There were a few combos rib + meat combos that came with sides included but all drinks were ordered separately so the cost definitely added up quickly. The service was polite, friendly, and quick with an interesting walk-up to order system, with them bringing your food to you once you're sat.

Tables are small and only fit about 4 but there's plenty of open space in the restaurant that I'm sure you could push a table together if needed. Bathrooms were clean!
