We stopped at Ooltewah while traveling from Knoxville back to Atlanta - had a beer at Hoptown and I asked the taproom person about food options - it was too late for what sounded like a great brunch nearby, but she indicated that Marthie Ann's was a good option. I walked down to the restaurant and looked for something easy to carry back to the beer bar - the Springer Mountain Wings were the perfect snack! The wings were delicately fried and had an awesome rub seasoning - served with a side of ranch. 6 were $9.20 but because it was a Sunday they were half-off! Next time I'm trying a blue plate - they looked amazing. I ordered at the bar - at first I think the bartender took me for a vagrant (and granted I'd been drinking beer up in Knoxville the few days before so probably looked a bit sketch) but she warmed up to me once I ordered and paid. I'll report in after my next visit.

The place is also very clean. Today the dinner was ribs but I could have chosen pulled port or brisket to go with two of the multitude of side items offered. Now there are several keys to good ribs and one of them has to be the sauce. Theirs has a smokey sweetness to it that adds that "must have" flavor to them. There is a choice of hot, mild or sweet sauces- all are good. The ribs were meaty and also had a good smoke flavor as they almost fell off the bones.

We arrived roughly 4:00pm no wait, immediately seated and greeted by our waitress. Ordered the BBQ burger with Mac N Cheese, wings, and street tacos. Honestly the food was great! I didn't hear a single complaint and it was all very filling except the wings. Not sure why the wings are so much and come with no sides. Kids ordered 6 wings and a side of fries ($10.99 + $4.99) when my specialty burger was $15.99 and came with a side. Just seems a little high for me. The food itself was great and the service was definitely better than average. Not sure if there might have been a better deal on the menu for wings but the waitress never mentioned anything. Other than that and the fries never being put in for one of the orders our experience was pleasing. We will return more than likely just will look at other options for the kids.

The price for the food was okay - pricier than other places but the portions were generous. The meat was tender and juicy but there's no smoky flavor or smoke ring. It doesn't even smell smoky around the restaurant. It was also not really seasoned. We tried pork, brisket, and chicken. Nothing bad but nothing great. The baked beans and macaroni and cheese deserve accolades though and bump a star. We did try the nachos and the chips were pretty bland and disappointing. Overall I think the meats need better seasoning as things tended towards bland. Maybe we went on an off day. It was around 2 p.m. and we were the only people there. We were pretty hyped to try it because of the reviews but left a bit disappointed. For comparison, we're huge BBQ fans - like Lewis, Wright's, SAW's, etc. so maybe it's just not our style. I love smoky, well seasoned meats.

Again, it's very relaxed here- it's all about the food, and it's apparent how much love and time has gone into the foods. From the beef and baby back ribs, sausage, and pulled pork, all are so well made and super delicious. Let me tell ya, when people say "fall off the bone," Jordan's baby back ribs truly do fall off the bone! The portions are just right, and don't sleep on their side dishes either! I highly recommend their potato salad, mac and cheese, and their highly addictive fried okra. Be sure to request a side of ranch dressing to dip the okra in, too. It's some of the best ranch dipping sauce you'll probably ever have. Most certainly order yourself some of their delectable homemade banana pudding, too ($5 for a full order). Again, I kid you not, probably will be the best banana pudding you'll ever have!
