Y'all, I'm calling it right now: this is the best barbecue in the entire United States. That smoked pork shoulder plate--tender, juicy meat, kissed with smoke for hours, edged with perfect bark, and paired with their peppery vinegar dip--had me closing my eyes with every bite like I was cheating on every other BBQ joint I've ever loved. The mayo slaw was creamy crack abd the baked beans tasted like they'd been simmering since last Thanksgiving. If you ever find yourself within 100 miles of Tompkinsville, you owe your soul a detour. Backyard BBQ isn't just a meal, it's a religious experience with a side of fries. 11/10, no notes, already planning the next pilgrimage.

The menu is extensive with a ton of meat options as well as delicious sides. My husband got the chicken breast plate which comes with two sides and is plenty of food. The sauce is on top and not a thick sauce but super flavorful. I had several sides which were amazing! I went back for more green beans and baked beans as those were my favorites. The portions are large and prices are very reasonable. It is a very welcoming and chill spot with an amazing smell from the smoking meats. Definitely worth a detour to try this spot! We will stop here again if even close, and might just plan a trip down to get some of their BBQ!

Just ordered the standard burger which is their double smash burger with American cheese, caramelized onions, pickles and Boygah Sauce on a brioche bun on carry out. No tables to eat inside. My husband and best friend had the same order. Upon all of us taking a first bite all you could taste was salt!! Yuck. I couldn't eat it. We all tried a couple of more bites, just to see if the first taste was off and all agreed. Too salty! Couldn't eat it. Just from the few bites I had I got a bad headache, my bp went from 125/82 to 143/95. Was sick for the rest of the evening. If you like salt, then you'll love this burger.

Been meaning to…read moretry this place for the last three years and finally had the opportunity as I had a hankering for ribs. Nice, simple place with its own parking lot. My wife and I split a full rack and two sides. I know they have a nice looking smoker in the back of their property but the ribs didn't show any signs of smoke either visually or taste. They used a St. Louis cut that reminded me of a slow cooker recipe. Very tender and fall off the bone but lacked a good rub seasoning. Styrofoam plates and plastic utensils is the style you can expect. The two sides we chose were Mexican corn and green beans. Neither were memorable. There was one house bbq sauce on the table and it was on the sweet side. Was hoping for a shining star in our hometown but I'm afraid this isn't it.

Tough leather. My wife swears by this place but I've found that it's only because she grew up here and doesn't know any different. Service is okay, though there's not much to say. You order at one window, pickup at the next. Outdoor seating only. I'm fine with the vinegar based BBQ, but the flavor isn't the problem. It's the texture and the toughness. I've found that the only thing that isn't dried out is the basic hotdog and it's exactly that: a small, basic, boiled hot dog. I must say the sides are usually much better than the main dish but still an average of 5/10. You can buy the size in large quantities. I've discussed the quality of the meat with other born-and-raised locals and this is the way it's always been. Like good BBQ? I'd recommend anywhere else.
