And the okra was just as memorable--crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. Simple menu items done exceptionally well. Places like this are why local BBQ spots are hard to beat. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

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!

Every now and then you have a meal that you know you will remember the rest of your life. When a…read morerestaurant becomes an indelible experience. Heavy's was one of those meals and one of those restaurants. The experience began before we even parked our car with the drive off of US-25E along the Powell River. To say that Heavy's is off the beaten path doesn't do it justice. To get there, you're in for a 4-mile venture on twisty, one-lane roads into the backwater of Eastern Tennessee arriving at a modest, riverside shack. When they invented barbeque, they must have had this place in mind. Cause it was arguably the best BBQ that I have ever experienced. Everything was amazing. Ribs were succulent and smoky. The pork was tender and mouth-watering. All the food to the very atmosphere had that essential hardwood fire aroma. The actual location can best be described as rustic, and I hope that they NEVER change. The character of this place lends to its authenticity. Thank you, Heavy's, for a true BBQ experience!

The place doesn't look like much on the outside or inside, but I can excuse that because it''s clean and they concentrate on the food which is hot, fresh and delicious. A must try dish at Bubby's is the fried fish and the fried green tomatoes. I definitely give them a thumbs up!

Had to take a quick trip to Oneida & decided to swing in to this unassuming BBQ spot. We'd seen it…read moreonce before when we had been camping at Pickett State Park & it was packed. We strolled in around 2:30, so it was not busy. There were only 3 other patrons sitting in an enclosed patio area which makes fit they're dining room. There are only about 20 tables in the place. The menu is on a big chalk board near the window at the ordering counter. They had a smaller floor chalk board that boasts the daily specials. Mr T & I perused the menu & decided on a half-rib basket & a brisket basket. Fit sides, we got French fries, fried okra, potatoe salad & green beans. They had a small tap with 3 different beers, a soda fountain & a large cooler with various soft drinks, energy drinks & a few canned beers. Ribs were fall-apart terrific. Brisket was tasty but a bit on the dry side. Great fries. The okra was perfection (don't tell my mom that is wa as good as hers)

The tater would have been perfect. Tater: loaded baked potatoes with meat. Balanced. Excellent. Sampler: Ribs fell off the bone. Extra meaty. Pulled pork: perfect. Brisket: meaty. Not enough fat for my taste, but that's better than too much. Baked beans: fine, not outstanding. Fries: good, not amazing. Sauce: only tried the one on the table. Balanced, uncomplicated, sweet enough. Very nice. A great sauce. Clean, but beat up looking place. A hole in the wall, but you're not here for the art. Busy, but served quickly. Attentive service. Short delay at seating for ordering drinks, but then spot on.
