Hands down the best BBQ around this part of the USA, we were met with a menu and not a long line as…read morewe were expecting! We decided on the Rib Plate with two sides and a brisket sandwich with one side and our adventures began! The owner Robert was hands on taking our ordering and cutting a generous portion of fall off the bone ribs! The menu said 4 bones, he cut easily six, and oh my gosh delicious! The tow sides of collard greens and steakhouse style potato salad was just as good! The brisket sandwich was huge and overflowing with the most flavorful and moist brisket we ever tasted! The side of coke slaw was homemade and yummy! The hospitality from the moment we walked in the door was over the top with several employees checking in if we needed anything or if they can be of help, The owner Robert even stopped by our table to ask how was everything on the little break he got! We drove here from Knoxville and will gladly drive back to try the other menu items!!!

First time visiting, and not only was the food to the moon fantastic with portions big enough to feed the inhabitants of Jupiter! but the man serenaded me. Yes, I got dinner and a show. The brisket? Tender enough to not use your dentures The pulled pork? Plentiful like it was trying to apologize for every bad BBQ I've ever had. And that Georgia sweet sauce? A whole spiritual experience. The green beans came in seasoned like they had something to prove, and the banana puddin'... well, that was the kind of dessert that makes you rethink your life choices in the best way. Staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. Loved the rustic eclectic decor! 10/10 would celebrate being fabulous here again.

We had a mixed experience at the Trading Post Smokehouse. It seemed like they needed more help as…read morewe waited about 10 minutes at the ordering window for the main person, a man, to acknowledge our presence and take our order. Others have mentioned the unfriendliness and poor service and this was also our experience overall. We opted for the family pack, which I thought allowed for some customization, but discovered that the $35 choice with two sides had to be the pulled pork. You do get a ton of pulled pork and generous portions of BBQ sauce with it, so it was kind of nice to have leftovers. On the other hand, the meat itself was just ok and we wished we had opted for the ribs or something else (and just not done the family pack which, outside of the quantity element, did not really seem worth it based on the prices of other meats). The baked beans were very sweet as it seemed like they added way too much sugar to them; same for the BBQ sauce. Highlight was probably the creamy mashed potatoes which tasted very good. The man acted surprised when I asked for silverware because we had ordered to-go and it must be outside the ordinary for a restaurant doing to-go to offer this? He also wasn't very friendly in telling us that none of our food (family pack) included drinks. Seating is available but somewhat limited (especially on the inside). Overall this wasn't great and I probably would not come back to this establishment without some changes or improvements.

The noodles were so swollen that they were smushy. The barbecue is dry and the sauce tastes horrible.

They had a nice fireplace going on outside due to chilly weather. Inside was a super cozy southern vibe kind of a place. There were a lot of music memorabilia on the walls. The live music was really good. Randy Finchum kicked off the music and played original and sometimes hilarious songs. He made sure to crack a lot of jokes and stories between the songs. For food we tried fried pickles, fried okra, fried brussels sprouts, and sausage with onions and peppers. Yep...no sight of greens but man was everything delicious. Also, they have cheap beers available but only in bottles. If you're in the mood for some good southern food with a cozy funky vibe then checkout Smoke House.

Geo's Smokehouse wasn't on our radar at all while we were on the way to Little River Canyon, but as…read morewe drove past, we saw a huge column of smoke emanating in the distance. We thought it was perhaps a fire, but as we drew closer, we found that it was actually a barbecue place. Definitely seemed promising, but we weren't hungry at the time and decided that we would pick up some food on the way back. That we did - we drove up right around dinner time and as soon as we parked and ordered another 4 cars pulled up. This place certainly is popular and I don't know why there isn't another review up yet. Geo's is a very casual takeout joint where you order at a window. There are a couple of tables nearby, but we didn't see anyone for either lunch or dinner (probably because it was so cold outside!) The menu is pretty simple and very affordable and we ended up getting just a single plate since we still weren't that hungry: Pork Plate ($8.49) - We got a lot more food than I expected for the price. This came with two sides, of which I chose the baked beans and the coleslaw. The beans were pinto mixed with a bit of onion and some pulled pork. The baked beans were sweet, savory, with the slightest bit of spice, and a very distinct kind of charred flavor. The shredded coleslaw is pretty typical - a bit of a tang, sweet, with a bit of a kick from copious amounts of black pepper. The meal also came with a standard dinner roll on the side. The pork was the star here - meaty, well seasoned, with a good smoke flavor. The larger interior chunks were perhaps a bit on the dry side, but there was an appropriate amount of sweet and tangy barbecue sauce on top to moisten things up. Overall the food was good for the price. Geo's doesn't really have anything earthshattering here, but the food is pretty solid and is a good choice for a small town.

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!

There was a family of 6 or 7 that ordered before me but given the simplicity of my order, I did not expect to wait 20 minutes.

If you want gratuity, give me the option after you have delivered said product/services.

The service was fast and friendly. The fall off-the-bone BBQ ribs were some of the best I've had and were fine even without sauce. Speaking of, there were multiple sauces available. These are not your typical thick molasses based sauce, most featured vinegar as the main flavor. I thought this very unique and very good. My favorite was the Great Sauce - combo of habanero, onion and vinegar. My ribs were accompanied by basic but flavorful pintos adorned with onions and parsley and cornbread with real chunks of corn baked in. An added touch was the warm moist towel at the end of the meal.
