The…read morepulled pork is cooked slow and low and they put the expected level of effort into it for the prices they charge. The staff was friendly enough and they didn't bat an eye when I asked for multiple sauces. My one complaint was that they don't advertise that they actually do ribs, but treat them like they're the head of some secret society and only do a limited run of them on random days that customers have to either call in or stop by in order to be bestowed with the highest privilege of partaking in. I mean, come on, folks...you're not THAT special to be serving pork ribs in TN. Just let the public know what you serve and when...you may find your profits actually increase that way.

Living in Texas now, I've had plenty of BBQ, and I'm just going to say it: this was better than Texas BBQ any day! It was such a treat to have some brought to me for my birthday, and it definitely did not disappoint. Good BBQ, great flavor, and seasoned the way BBQ is supposed to be.

Helen's came in #15 in Southern Living's 2019 ranking of the top 50 southern BBQ restaurants. The…read morefirst thing to be said is that the price point here is phenomenal. $18.80 purchased a St. Louis style rib platter (3 ribs) with required sides of baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad, and a regular pork sandwich "Memphis style." The pork and its mild sauce worked well with the coleslaw, and the ribs and their hot sauce were tasty while separating cleanly at the bite. The mashed potato salad complemented the ribs well, but not so the baked beans, which tasted like they had come straight out of a can. Since the sides are mandatory, a little more effort here would be welcome. In sum, we judged this to be decent but not awesome BBQ, especially given the limited scale of the menu.

Only downside to the place is no alcohol of any kind sold here.

This place evidently has been doing there thing here for a minute or two and it's easy to see why they have made it such a long time. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich which came topped slaw. The pulled pork was very good... well smoked but not not overly smokey. Unlike most pulled pork I've had it was very lean and not at all greasy/fatty. The slaw on the sandwich was vinegar based and tasted to me exactly like dill pickles. I usually don't like this type of slaw but it truly paired well with the smoked pork, cutting through the smoke and helping to bring out its flavor. Sauce was optional with a choice between a vinegar/red pepper based sauce and a thicker/sweeter version with a similar taste profile. Both were tasty but truly not needed as the pork in the sandwich stood just fine by itself. The fresh cut french fries were fried exactly like my mother fried them... crispy on the ends and soft and fluffy in the interior... a delicious fry indeed. Good things stand the test of time and this place is a perfect example of that concept. Keep on doing what y'all are doing... it's working just fine!!!

Boneless chicken breast was definitely freshly cooked to temp like there was no guessing if it was done. Topped with cheese and canned mushrooms. Baked beans had a special flavor added to it that I just can't identify but also very good. Tater tots are just run of the mill frozen bag tots but fried perfectly. Service was quick and friendly and the lunch was served quickly. Dining room appears clean and well decorated. My only complaint was the serving size. There was simply not enough for a 150 pound man to eat. Didn't see anything on the menu aside from ice cream and there was a line at the counter, so I left still slightly hungry. I do look forward to giving them another chance.
