One of their old smokers. Looks great!
Tom C.

Drove a few miles out of the way to get some good BBQ and was not disappointed. The lady at the counter was very nice and provided excellent customer service. Excellent lean chopped pulled pork. Sauce is great and not so spicy that our 7 year old son did not enjoy it. He is picky but ate his entire sandwich. Baked beans, potato salad, and cole slaw are delicious - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Wife said the Mac & Cheese was delicious and recommends it. We bought the family pack and enjoyed it. Hoped for more of a dessert selection but the pecan pie was great anyhow. We will come back here again. Very thankful to find some great BBQ and in a beautiful area just across the TN/KY Border. CHECK THEM OUT!

Good food. Friendly service. Clean restaurant. All the sides tasted good and the meat was even better. I can give us place an A. Prices are very competitive

Beef plate with potato salad, corn bread and baked apples.

Where do I begin. My wife and I pass by Red Top all the time and never had a chance to stop. So, a friend had recommended going there so we stopped for some brisket. I really need to start this with a couple of high points. The place was spotless and boasts a 99 on the health report. It's small and quaint inside. Reminds you of one of those hole in the wall places with great food! The young girl taking orders was very pleasant and got the order correct and got it to us fast. Now I am really hoping that we came by on a bad day cause what we got does not equal the stars they have. We both ordered the "Beef" plate with two sides. The beef, or brisket as we were told it was, was shredded, which if you like it that way, it's fine. However, that's not how you serve brisket. It was also kind of bland. I'll leave the sauce out of it just because it's tangy. Not a tangy sauce fan, that's just me. The corn bread, although tasted good, was very dry even with extra butter. I posted a pick of the coleslaw for two specific reasons...it's green and had pickles in it. The potato salad wasn't too bad, and the apples were not overly sweet, so there's that. Like I said, I hope it was just a bad day!

Just left Old Glory Distillery, excellent tour, and asked for a lunch tip. Five miles off 24 is the Red Top BBQ. Small town clean efficient cheap.... Top notch food. Ribs, corn bread, two sides $11.25. Carry out or sit down. You won't be sorry.

I found out about this place because they catered an event I went to and found their sauce to be really good with their smoked sausage. A little spicy, with the nice smokiness in their sausage. I didn't get to try much else because it was almost all gone by the time I got to it. I searched it on Yelp, found two very good reviews and bookmarked it.. I went there with my gf since it was one of the few non chains in the area. It's a bit out of the way but definitely not hard to find since there's a giant red smoker in the shape of a tractor. The small, storefront has 5 tables and no menu, just go up there and order. The woman got the pulled pork sandwich with fries and after telling the lady at the counter I was torn between the smoked sausage and the pork she suggested the two meat platter and pointed at a very small section on the whiteboard that had their plates-not much it was a 2 meat plate and a 3 meat. The plate came with 2 sides, so I went with the hash brown casserole and the mac and cheese. The sausage was as good as I remember it with nice snap despite the smoking and the sauce went with it and the pulled pork. The meat seemed to just soak up the sauce though without making everything a soggy mess and the hash brown casserole and mac and cheese were both gooey, cheese compliments to the main meats and my woman friend kept sneaking bites of the potato and the mac and cheese despite her order of curly fries. Great meats, great sides and it will be on the top of my list to take visitors.

Tiny town red too bbq

Spectacular little spot with amazing food and friendly service. If we are back this way we will go again! Had the brisket and the chicken, but great and the sides were perfect!

Darn good bbq
Buzz D.

good pork and beef brisket(chopped big) complimented by sauces(on the side) that dded to the meat--sides were all good and housemade--their burgoo was extra good!! Hashbrown casserole, mac&cheese and baked beans were above average. Fudge pie was tasty but kind of over sweet Didn't try chicken or sausage--next trip

Wow. I love southern food and this place blew me away. Super tender pulled chicken and brisket with their mild sauce was phenomenal. Sweet potato casserole was literally to die for with the sweet taste of caramelized pecans. Green beans and the CORN BREAD PANCAKE were so freaking good I could eat here everyday. I have a huge sweet tooth so obviously got both fudge and pecan pie and the fudge blew me away. So chocolatey and delicious.

Smokin Chicken was one of my absolute favorite places to eat. The chimichurri chicken was always…read moreperfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of flavor, and the hummus was hands down some of the best I've ever had. Every meal tasted fresh, and the service was always friendly and welcoming. I'm so sad they closed because it's one of those restaurants that's really hard to replace. They will definitely be missed!

Summary: Fast food variations on chicken with sides of Southern comfort foods…read more An off night. That's what I think we had after reading the other reviews. Stopping here for supper, first there were the dark bathrooms that wouldn't light. Along with that electrical issue, an ear-splitting and head jarring smoke or other alarm went off every few minutes for about 15 minutes. Order taking was interrupted often when the counter employee shifted to incoming phone calls. That employee didn't know pulled chicken portion sizes in ounces and approximated with his hands. All of this created a dubious dining experience before we even finished ordering! This spot offers a variety of chicken recipes: roasted, BBQ, Caribbean, pulled, fried, and more. Sides includes Southern standards like mac and cheese, yellow rice, greens, coleslaw, and others. The pulled (shredded) chicken was overly seasoned with black pepper. Roasted chicken was a bit dry. The BBQ chicken laden with sweet sauce was the best of the chicken choices. Creamy coleslaw was 'meh' and lacked flavor. Rice, too, was just okay. Northern beans were nicely seasoned and well cooked. Pita triangles seemed an odd accompaniment since no sauce or dip was provided and they were too small to make sandwiches. Overall, the restaurant seemed understaffed, which could account for the messy tables and dirty floor.
