From Texas, this is the best barbecue I found so far in the two years I've lived here The only thing I don't like is your sauce is too watery. read more

Recommended by a friend who lives locally. Maddie was friendly at the counter. Our food was out quickly and was delicious; some of the best smoked turkey I've had: moist, tender and yummy. All sides were great, restaurant clean, spacious and sunny. Drive through window too. read more

Absolutely delicious bbq. The restaurant is clean, the staff was so friendly, and although we ordered takeout it was ready quick! It is also a drive through which is so convenient. The smoke flavors are insane and the pie and cake are delish. Will be back! read more

Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint - Ribs, brisket, pecan pie, baked potato, chicken tenders, wings, how cake/hush puppies, pecan pie and coconut cake - Barbeque Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

As someone who just moved to Tennessee, I had high expectations for BBQ... and somehow Martin's exceeded every one of them. This is, without a doubt, the best barbecue I've ever had. Every bite was packed with incredible smoky flavor, the meat was perfectly tender, and you can tell everything is made with care. The sides were just as impressive and tied the whole meal together. The restaurant itself was clean, welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. It's the kind of place that reminds you why Tennessee is famous for BBQ. If you're anywhere near Spring Hill, do yourself a favor and stop at Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint. I can honestly say I'll be bringing every friend and family member who comes to visit. This place has officially set the bar for barbecue, and I don't see anything topping it anytime soon. Five stars without hesitation! read more

Amazing bbq! Had the pulled pork and loved it. The sauce is a little thin but good flavor. Staff was great! Restaurant is huge with indoor and outdoor seating. There is also party rental space. Decor is so cute. Really neat bar made out of containers. read more

First time at Martin's and we had a really solid experience. The kids meals were a great deal with good portions, and the hand-cut fries were sooo good. Crispy, salty, couldn't stop eating them. Mac and cheese hit too. Only downside for me was the BBQ sauce -- a little too spicy (I'm a wimp lol) and I wish there were more options. Slaw was a bit sweet for my taste too. Food came out quick, tons of seating, super easy vibe. I'd definitely come back! read more

We came here before a Pageant to grab a quick bite to eat The service was super great and very fast. They had a lot to offer from grilled cheese to barbecued food to plate meals, and much more. They also had a large variety of drink, such as seltzers, beer, tea, lemonade, and much more Plenty of seating on the outside and inside read more

The past 3 times we've got our whole family out of the house and taken the 30+ minute drive to martins it has ended the same. No meat!! No BBQ at a BBQ restaurant. "We have catfish" is what we continue to hear each time. Don't waste your time! Unreliable to say the least. read more

We are obsessed with Martin's for one particular menu item: the brisket burger. 10/10. Incredible flavor combination. I also love the small details, such as including a Moon Pie with the kids' meals. We've always had prompt and excellent service at the Spring Hill location! read more

I'm from the Seattle so I haven't had too many good BBQ but this gotta to be one of, if not the best BBQ I've had so far. The food was amazing, the brisket was very juicy, a great cut. Turkey was not dry at all which can be hard to do, the ribs were very flavorful, the spicy sausage was fire! The pull pork was fine, but nothing spectacular in my opinion. All the sauces were great, the Mac and cheese were very good. Hushpuppies and potato chips were fresh and crispy! Service was fine, it's mostly self serve but they will bring you anything when asked since there are workers around the area. Ambiance was nice, it's has multiple locations apparently but this one was unique. Nice and clean seating. Really enjoyed this place! read more

Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint - Barbeque Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

I rely on Yelp for reviews on where/when to take my family out to dinner. I don't like leaving poor reviews, but I was really disappointed in what was served as my "to go" meal at 4:30 on a Thursday afternoon. 2lbs of pork, 2.5 lbs of brisket; and tried to order a slab of ribs. Ribs- I was told they didn't have any, and would be about 45 min to an hour before they were ready. Bummed, but no biggie. Pulled pork. I can't describe it, but it had the strange consistency of mashed potatoes/slow cooker pork shoulder. Biggest let down however, was it had exactly ZERO bark/pieces of bark. Brisket- I get the price of everything has gone up, but I would honestly say, at least 1/3 of my brisket was inedible/suoer high fat content. Good flavor for what was edible/wasnt fatty chunks. I cannot confirm, but I almost wonder, if dine-in orders. Are severed better quality selections of meat. Same amount/quantity, just better quality as to not have patrons return their meals while dining in. I didn't realize my order was so rough, until I got home, and wasn't about to drive back. Mac and Cheese, Spot on. Thankfully, my kids raved about it, and ate the entire container. read more

Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint - Easily 1/3 of brisket order, was inedible fat. - Barbeque Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

This place is a pretty solid BBQ spot. The staff is really nice, bathrooms are clean, lots and lots of seating when it's not busy, and it's overall a really chill place to eat at. The food is decent for the price and has pretty good flavor. The portions are alright for the price. We got some tasty beef brisket, the fried chicken sandwich, and a few other dishes not pictured. The chicken sandwich was three chicken strips on a bun, this was kinda disappointing and it was dry. No sauce or coleslaw so it was DRY. The fries were good. The beef brisket platter was decent and the flavor was tasty. It's a pretty good place to eat as a family. I couldn't give this place 5 stars because of the chicken sandwich. It lacked too much to give a 5 star review and it was just way too dry. Overall, a good restaurant and would be back. read more

There was a large strategy decision made at the order counter - when they DO have ribs available you may as well buy the big order! If you order this one curbside, it may flip over the car like Fred Flintstone. Kidding aside this is our favorite thing at Martins. As a couple it covers us for 2 meals. No dry rub for us! We like the sticky version. Recommended!. read more

I'm from Los Angeles California came for work. Might be the first bbq I ever had in my life!!‍ very expensive but what they give you & not very tasty at all‼ hopefully atmosphere is great, but food was very mediocre at best! Would never come back‼‍ read more

The smoked chicken was fabulous. The decor is fun, lots of old retro signs. You order at the counter and minutes later the food was delivered. They served 2 piece of just plain bread which was odd. read more

Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint - Smoked chicken, Mac and cheese and baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

This is unfortunately the worst bbq I've ever had in the state of TN. I've lived in TN since I was 2 years old. My wife and I just ordered to go and we were both very very hungry. We couldn't stomach even close to half of our meal it was so unpleasant. The ribs were dryer than jerky, it's now going to be food for my dogs. The rest of the meat other than the turkey (which the turkey tasted fine) tasted and smelt like a senior living facility. Unfortunately we will never be eating from Martins again. read more

Well, Martins has officially slipped. Stopped with my Dad ( He's always loved it) this time Not So Much. Staff is great but the ribs, his favorite were like leather. I actually had a bite that I chewed forever and had to spit it out. Couldn't swallow it because it was so tough. I hope this was a fluke. Usually very tender. Nowhere near what I've had before. Sorry, but not sure I'll be back. read more

Gets the job done for barbecue, but as a Texas bbq guy this just doesn't compare. Love the atmosphere, service and decent bang for your buck. read more

Amazing food and there is even a drive through! I especially love the full rack of ribs, the Mac and cheese and Cole slaw. The fries have potential, but aren't great for take out. They always turn out soft and soggy. Otherwise I find this place Amazing! read more

How many years have I dined here? It's been years but so weird that I didn't write any reviews about my favorite BBQ joint. Let's talk about chain restaurants! It is hard to find a place that you will feel welcomed every time you visit even though it is at a different location. Martin's has that exceptional service experience and a consistency in food quality and taste. That's impressive. I can be sure that I will get a perfect ribs and smoked wings that will be juicy anytime I go. Even at peak hours, they didn't mess up any order of our group. My husband and I went there 1.5 hrs before closing and the food was fresh and tasty. Tables were clean. BBQ sauce bottles weren't sticky or gross looking. TWO THUMBS UP! read more

Excellent food. Brisket was fall apart tender. Portions were good. Store and restrooms were clean

It was our first time ever at Martin's and our entire experience here was incredible. The service was a 10/10. Since it was our first time the young gentleman at the register gave us so many recommendations and helped us out with what order. The entire staff was extremely friendly, respectful, and kept checking on us to see if there was anything we needed. The food was also incredible. I definitely recommend the smoked turkey and brisket that was our favorite from the meats that we had ordered. I highly recommend coming here! read more

Meats are good but side dishes all use too much sugar for taste vs seasoning and are just tiny servings. Service is good. Ambiance is good. Side items use the same exact serving dishes I used in elementary school 50 years ago. read more

Heading over to my kids apartment in Spring Hill we decided to hit here before watching the grand baby. Had heard it was good so here is what we found: Ambiance: Typical BBQ joint / lots of country themed art / Knick knacks / decor objects etc adorned the entire place...they did have foosball which was a fun thing to do while you waited... Service: You get counter service here and we were greeted promptly with a smaller and told about specials and about the to die for Mac n cheese side.... Food: My wife's BBQ pork sandwich was ok - she thought the meat was good but sauce at Martins was very thin and runny - not really something a traditional bbq joint would have - we know you don't want to have to chew through it either but this was very watery. Flavor was just ok. My half chicken was perfectly done! Juicy and dry but not too dry....if you know what I mean. The Mac n cheese was less than exciting after all the hype as it was a bit soggy and the sauce a bit watery. Maybe we just hit a bad batch but we've had many other Mac N cheese dishes that were substantially better and cheaper. Price: Ordinary pricing for BBQ - not too expensive but lot cheaper either. Summary: You'll hopefully have a good experience - wasn't terrible by any means but could be a lot better for the price. Keep Munching read more

Let's talk about salad at a BBQ joint: While Martin's us know for their amazing BBQ, which I love every item lean, meat and side I've ever had here, there's a healthier option that seems to be bypassed and underaged here, the Farmer's Salad!!! This is all time one of my favorite salads! The smoked turkey, carrots, corn and pickled onions give it a very different and delicious flavor unlike any other! I did a quick drive thru (best option EVER For a busy mom wanting a quick, non fast food option) and as always, service was quick and wonderful. If you haven't had this salad I'd highly suggest giving it a try. Great price for a large portion and always fresh and full of wonderful, smoky flavor! read more

Cool spot in Spring Hill to have BBQ and a beer! They have a pretty good HH for beer and a decent tap list. Tried the pulled pork redneck taco-- pulled pork, slaw, and sauce on a hoecake. Fun dish! Pork was a little dry but overall an enjoyable dinner. The staff from beginning to end were so helpful and kind. read more

For the reader's perspective, I lived for many years in Central Texas, so I'm very familiar with great BBQ. Martin's brisket is solid. From the appearance and flavor, it would hold up beside all but the very best Central Texas briskets. Pulled pork (and I lived for many years in North Carolina as well, so I know a good pulled pork) is a little bland. But that's nothing a toss in their house sauce won't fix. Speaking of the house sauce, it's fine for tossing with the pork, but if you're eating any other meat, it's ridiculously watery. You gotta go for one of their other thicker sauces. I kind of liked the devil's nectar sauce, it does have quite a kick. Made me look forward to trying out their other sauces. Their baked beans are the single best thing of all the meats and sides I've tried at Martin's. Loved them and could down a big bowl. Mac and cheese is solid. Not life changing, and not something I'd be tempted to order again, but if you're hankering for mac and cheese, I doubt you'll be disappointed. The broccoli salad is quite pleasant as well. It's really nice to have something fresh, green and crisp on a BBQ plate. Hush puppies are classic southern hush puppies. So overall pretty solid fare, and honestly, I'd not expect to find better bbq in central Tennessee. read more

Went here with my family on Wednesday evening for dinner at 5 PM. It was pretty empty and the space had a lot of open seats. As the evening progressed, it started to build a crowd. We tried a variety of things: - The brisket was AMAZING, juicy and flavorful, our favorite - Ribs, a little dry and chewy but tasty - Smoked chicken was also flavorful and good - Our favorite side was the potato salad which was light and creamy Would come here again for the excellent service and incredible brisket! read more

Ordered Martins from Spring Hill on Postmates and the ribs were like 60% fat and the rest of the meat was hard to even chew. I have never had ribs so bad. Their "cornbread" was also a disaster. It came to us looking like a pancake and didn't even taste like corn. I didn't know whether to throw it away or put maple syrup on it. I'm calling Robert Irvine! I didn't give them a 1 star review because their Mac n cheese and baked beans were actually really good. Final consensus: Don't order Martins unless you're having baked beans and Mac n cheese only! Go to Ember instead. read more

The food was subpar, the service was quick and the server was nice. It was an average eating experience.

Great food tonite from Martin's BBQ! Had a loaded BBQ baked potatoe with pulled pork and it was great! Green beans were good too. Def will be back! read more

Good food. Quick service. The only place I know that makes slaw the way I like it. The sauce is good too.

If I could give 0 stars I would. We ordered dinner through my Instacart account and it was delivered by Ubereats. The Brisket platter was not even close to being brisket. it was almost 100% fat. We were missing an item, and the pulled pork was almost "slimy". I called the restaurant and they did not accept any responsibility since we did not order directly from them! Even though it was their food they were the ones that packaged the meal. I will never order or step foot in this restaurant ever again. Accept responsibility for the food you serve to your customers or get out of the business! read more

Have to say.... tonight is quite a surprise. I wanted just a plain grilled cheeseburger and fresh cut fries. I got just that. Cheeseburger is done well, with a toasted bun. I can tell it was on a flat griddle with the crusty bit on the edges. Very tasty. Fresh cut French fries are on point. Lightly salted to my likeness. Washing it down with fresh brewed sweet southern tea. Yes this is a BBQ joint and they are known for their brisket and pulled pork. But this joint has a great go to burger!!! Nicely done Martin's. read more

Stopped in on a Sunday evening. As you walk in there are sauces, rubs and other merchandise you can buy. You order from the counter and they give you a number. You can sit in front of any of the tvs or sit in the "middle" where the roof is translucent. We were served quickly and the staff were all very nice. The bread was buttered and toasted which gave it a nice crunch. The bbq was cooked perfectly. The sauce has just a little taste of vinegar which also makes it a little thin but it is very good. The broccoli salad was excellent. Will definitely return read more

Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint - Bbq sandwich and broccoli salad - Barbeque Near Me - Spring Hill, Tennessee

Smoke wafted into the black night sky as we passed the pit room visible at the entrance, which I thought was a cool design feature. I'd have liked to get some better photos of the outside, but it was dark... and cold. They claim that West Tennessee whole-hog barbecue tradition is the cornerstone of their operation, and that everything they serve is made from scratch. Naturally, I had to try the pork shoulder sandwich. I had read some good reviews on their smoked wings, so we got an order of those to split as well. For my sandwich side, I chose an unconventional option of broccoli salad. The sandwich was served with a thin tomato-vinegar sauce and slaw on top. I pulled a few pieces of pork out to sample alone, and they were fantastic. The juicy pork held an unmistakable hint of wood smoke- excellent on it's own but not strong enough to stand out on the sandwich. It was a great sandwich, but I would probably order the pork on it's own next time. The wings were good and had a great sauce, but not enough smoke in my opinion. Maybe my expectations were too high based on other reviews, but I would probably skip these next time- especially since it's so easy to make them how I like them at home. The broccoli salad was a great accompaniment to the meats. It was obviously homemade and was a good choice- and now I want to try the other sides. I'm sure I will return when I'm in the area again, and I'm already looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. So it's not an authentic old-time tradition spot, but this is about as good as chain bbq gets. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Had not visited this location in two years and it was a huge disappointment. The dry rub and the wet rub ribs were very tough. Mac & cheese was dry and salty. The brisket taco was good and others in our group said the pulled pork was good. Overall quality was so poor we do not plan to go back. read more
