You know the food must be exceptional when customers are willing to drive two hours just to enjoy…read morethe barbecue. That was certainly the case for me, and I'm glad I made the trip. Today I ordered the lunch special: pulled pork barbecue with fresh homemade coleslaw, crispy French fries, and a Dr Pepper. Everything was delicious, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. I had the pleasure of meeting Kenzie, who provided excellent service, and the manager, Cory, who was friendly and welcoming. I learned that Kenzie makes all of the restaurant's homemade fried pies. Cory recommended the chocolate fried pie as one of his favorites, and after trying it, I completely agree--it was absolutely outstanding and the perfect way to finish the meal. The restaurant itself is older and a bit dated, but it is clean, well-maintained, and has a warm, hometown atmosphere. During my visit, there were plenty of locals dining in, and I noticed a steady stream of customers picking up to-go orders, which says a lot about the quality of the food. I have high standards when it comes to food, customer service, and cleanliness, and I'm happy to say this restaurant met every one of them. If you're looking for authentic barbecue and friendly service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's definitely worth the drive. John Lobato, DIT

I appreciate being able to choose onions rings as a side but my ribs were so-so, the beans bland ($23 with iced tea).. The others had chicken or pork sandwiches and even a fried pie to go.

I was excited to try their eggs benedict but I found that they didn't serve it. As a matter of fact no one in town does. I decided to have their standard breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised. Two eggs OE, bacon (crisp and dry), no toast (I opted for a biscuit) with a side of sausage gravy. $5.49 breakfast, small coffee $1.39, hash brown $2.29 and side of gravy $1.89. Everything was perfect. The bacon was crisp and dry, the eggs were over easy and the sausage and gravy was not too peppery. When in this part of tennessee, Ripley, I highly recommend you try out not only their breakfast but there are other barbecue and unusual items. Also try their redneck egg rolls. Linda was a pleasant waitress.

Some of the best bbq I've had in awhile but what do you expect from folks from Jack's Creek? We all got the pulled pork plates and there was so much pork we could have all shared one!! Plates come with 2 sides. I had the red slaw which was fresh and delicious but nothing compared to the pepper jack Mac and cheese. This dish had those big fat noodles and the spice in the cheese was spot on! The staff was super friendly and the food was served quickly! I highly recommend stopping by when you are in the area!

The benches for the booths need some serious reupholstering! We chose to sit at a table. I love the rustic wood. We ordered the special for the day which included a sandwich, a side and a drink.

All in all it was a good meal and the employees were very friendly. We would eat here again. I would like to recommend that you grill your buns, as the cold, dry bun kind of made it less tasty.

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.
