Walking in you get the vibe that this is going to be a proper barbecue place and they do not disappoint. The dining area has down home antique decorations that give it a nice cozy feel. For food, they have a varied menu with a variety of meats, but pulled pork is my go to so I ordered a sandwich with slaw...it came piled high with enough meat for two meals! The side of barbecue beans was also excellent. Growing up in Knoxville my favorite was always the local chain there, but Small Town will have me "cheating" the next time I'm in the area. Check them out if you want some great 'cue.

This is the best barbecue that we have found for the area; but I'm from Texas, and in my opinion,…read moreit's just different. That said, their chicken wing rub was very sweet and I was expecting a spicy rub. The pork ribs were good. The bologna tasted like hotdogs honestly. The sourdough bread wasn't really sour, it just tasted like regular white bread. Of the sauces, our favorites were Tennessee Red and Spicy mixed together; and we found that by mixing them together, it tasted closer to what we were used to. They still had a bit of an aftertaste that we couldn't quite place. I loved their cute store and their service was amazing! I told them about my egg allergy while ordering and was promised everything would be egg free. We had gotten the bacon burger with sauce that looked very similar to thousand island dressing, and the restaurant made it right by making us a brand new one, while profusely apologizing. We understand that there may be a little bit of cross-contamination, but the dressing on the burger was more than cross-contamination. The lady who took our order told us there was nothing on the burger except for burger, bacon and cheese, and then asked if I wanted lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles on the side. I asked specifically about the condiments and she said they don't put any condiments on their burgers. The bathrooms and store overall were very clean and very well kept. It felt like good small town America. If it weren't for the egg allergy sauce mixup, they would've gotten four stars.

I bought a simple cod entree tonight, to go, started eating when I left and when I broke the fish open to cool, they're was no fish! What little there was, was fried into oblivion!

This review is for the corn maze and pumpkin patch:…read more $20 is a steal for what you get at this corn maze / pumpkin patch / harvest fall festival. We spent over six hours getting lost in 3 corn mazes (you WILL need to read the map to get out) plus the interactive kids maze. We loved the niblet train which was included in the probe and is perfect for small children. My kid loved the zipline and I noticed even adults were having a ball with it. Endless time was spent crawling through the play tubes and jumping on the pillow. Our admission included feed for the animals and we enjoyed visiting with them at the barn before going down an epic slide to get back to the bottom. I was astounded that a hayride and pumpkin were included - don't be like us and pick the biggest ones you can find as you will need to haul these back to the tractor and then to your car! Speaking of car, parking is free but a free for all ... don't forget where you parked and leave yourself extra room to get out. Food was reasonably priced and that's something I greatly appreciate. We drove 50 min to this spot and would gladly return next year. Everyone we met was friendly and had a big welcoming smile - we give this place 2 thumbs up!

Absolutely horrible experience dealing with the owner of this farm. With our experience, she was…read moreunpleasant and untruthful. She upsold the cows she butchered and the meat was extremely tough and had tons of grizzle. We also were buying milk from her weekly.

I've had lots of Indian food from around the country, of several different tiers in pricing, and let me tell you, this place is among some of the best value and quality I've had, period. Service is always great- the server is always very prompt, polite, and willing to make accommodations. The food is EXCELLENT. There is likely no way to go wrong on the menu, and it is very faithful and authentic. There is clear attention to detail in the depth of flavor, quality of ingredients, and they represent their cultural cuisine extremely well. If you are taken aback by menu prices, do bear in mind that Indian culture values family style eating, so the portions are more than enough for 2 meals with a single person dining, and good enough for a small table of people to pick off of a few dishes and have a very satiating meal. Lastly, the ambiance here is great. I mean, you almost forget you're in a gas station store entirely because of how they've closed off the space to be its own restaurant, and the bathroom is spotless. If you're feeling adventurous, give it a shot!

Hands down the best Indian food I've had in the Knox County surrounding area. 1 dish is enough to feed 2-3 people - and I wanted to try multiple dishes, so I definitely had to ask for takeout containers and even then I had lunch and dinner for the next couple days covered! I went during dinner hours, but they do offer a buffet everyday from 11am to 3pm - which I will try next time to try more flavors at an even more affordable cost. Food did not come out extremely fast - so a good sign that it is freshly made to order and not just reheated frozen sauces with protein thrown in. The kababs came out sizzling and biryani came out steaming! The lamb was not gamey at all. The hospitality was quick and pleasant also!
