Timberloft is a beautiful restaurant with amazing food. I got the burger and parmesan potato salad. My boyfriend got hickory smoked ribs with baked beans and pineapple coleslaw and everything was made perfectly. Very sweet and attentive waitresses and great music playing too

Outside patio area

We had gotten a gift card to Timberloft a few years ago, but kept forgetting to use it until recently and we're really happy that we finally came out to dine here. The restaurant is right off of I-40, so it's super easy to get to and they have plenty of parking outside. There's 2 dining areas in the summer with the outside area in the back being more casual and the inside being quite homey and comfy. We ended up dining outside and we had great service throughout the meal. We had gotten chips and queso/salsa to start and while the dips were great, the chips were unfortunately too greasy and we would skip them in the future. My wife got the brisket and I got the cheesesteak and both were excellent! I particularly loved my cheesesteak and would definitely get it again. We also had some cocktails and my wife got a regular margarita (delicious) and I got a blackberry margarita (too sweet). It's a very nice restaurant overall and we'll definitely be bringing family to visit in the future!

Hickory Smoked Ribs with BBQ Whiskey Beans, steamed Broccoli, homemade corn muffins and pickled things
Christina F.

Cute little BBQ spot that will not disappoint. The staff is super friendly and will chat with you if they ain't busy. The menu selection has a little bit of everything. But their BBQ it really good. The ribs had a dry rub on it that I didn't need to use the BBQ sauce that it came with. The whiskey beans had a whole lotta flavor and that corn bread had enough sweet to tie it all together. If you are thinking about food, you definitely should give this a shot. And hey if you don't like it then the Waffle House is right next door gross! Lol

I've been lucky enough to have tried bbq in Kansas City, Memphis, St. Louis, Baltimore and many other beautiful places. The dang pulled pork sandwich at Timberloft was one of the best I've ever tried. Plus, Ms. Joanna the bartender was a delight to talk to. The whole place was clean including the bathroom. Everyone was very friendly. We are for sure going back sooner than later.

The Texas Smoker Combo
Jessica G.

This food was incredible!! The service was amazing! The atmosphere of this place was super homey! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with the nicest people. The hostess was doing double duty cleaning the tables and seating people and she was still kind and patient with our party that had 3 young kids. We sat down and had Mason (who was absolutely incredible and very attentive) as our server. He kept our drinks filled and speaking of drinks, don't miss out on the fruit tea. It's delicious! We had the Texas Smoker Combo which came with ribs, pulled pork, fried chicken and two sides. We got fries and cream corn but what was the best thing was that corn muffin. It was sweet and so good! The kids meals were a little pricey and should have split it between my two kids but we will know for next time, which we will be back! All around a great experience that calls for another visit!

Slow Smoked Texas Style Beef Brisket with Macaroni and Cheese, and Smoked Cream Style Corn
Steven L.

Great service and delicious food just about sums up this great restaurant. I had the best Brisket I ever had at this restaurant. My waitress was a young woman named Sydney. She absolutely took care of me the whole time I was here. I mean she was great. If I ever come back here again, I would ask for her. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Menu items ordered: I had the slow smoked Texas Style Brisket with a side of BBq sauce. I also had, smoked cream style corn and macaroni and cheese. The Brisket was the best as it was so delicious and tender at the same time. There was a little fat around the edges but I cut that off. The macaroni and cheese was so good and delicious too. It was so creamy and cooked just right. The smoked cream style corn was delicious too. It had a smoked taste to it which is what I wanted. There was also a slice of cornbread that was great. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// My story: I wanted BBq today from a bbq restaurant that I have never been to. So, where else to turn to but my Yelp App. I first wanted to go to a bbq restaurant in Mt Juliet, TN but they had to close early today for lack of enough staff the owner said. So, I decided to come here on my way to the race track. I was glad I came here because it made my day. Final Thoughts: Great Customer service and absolutely delicious food is what you find at this great restaurant.

BBQ Baked potato
Maddie H.

Timberloft is a hunting lodge meets cozy, comforting barbecue. I must say that I like this combination and it works. We came on a Saturday for an early dinner, without reservations but were seated right away. Our server was good and attentive. She asked if we wanted refills and brought us our bill promptly at the end. The first thing I noticed when we got seated was that there were many mounted animal heads on the wall and a wallpaper that went around the room we were seated in with the bar area that had pictures of deer. Although a bit kitchy, I enjoyed it. Their menu includes Tex Mex favorites, barbecue and Southern favorites like Nashville hot chicken. They have a good beer and wine selection as well as cocktails. We both got beer to start then I ordered the BBQ loaded baked potato ($10.25) and my boyfriend got a small rack of the hickory smoked ribs with comes with 2 sides ($16.99). He selected the cheddar macaroni and cheese (+$2) and the whiskey baked beans. I enjoyed the potato but wasn't all that blown away by the pulled pork on it. I tried some of the ribs and they were very good. Our meal and the two beers rang us up around $50. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and the ambiance. Gordonsville is a bit out of the way for us so that may be the reason we don't return but I was glad we tried this spot out. There are so many good barbecue spots in Middle Tennessee that Timberloft's food didn't stand out to me above others but I was happy with everything.

Dry rub ribs.
Pamela K.

The first time we went to this place and we're very impressed! The food was great and our server Mason was on top of everything! We will most definitely going back! Very friendly and inviting!

Fruit tea, it's was excellent!
Jarrad M.

This is the third time over a few years I have stopped in here on my trek south to Gatlinburg or SC. What can I say? It's a high end ambience BBQ restaurant, but the food backs it up. My word, does it ever! The brisket was outstanding, falling apart, juicy and not overly seasoned. The pulled pork was spot. The ribs were solid and dry rubbed, the bone rolled right out with a twist, sauce on the side, just perfect. The smoked cream corn was like my grandmas that had been placed in a smoker, it was crazy... the Mac and cheese was rich and legit. If I lived close, my name would be on a seat... I'm not kidding. I'm impressed. Please check these folks out. To all the employees: Thank you! Thanks for caring and having pride in what you do and what you produce. It does not and will not go unnoticed. Cheers! Chef J

Forgot to check my Yelp account and was using Google Maps which directed me to another restaurant a few miles down the road. Probably operator error. But to our pleasant surprise we saw this building. So we thought BBQ sounds great and the establishment looked welcoming Boy were we happily surprised!! We had the triple meat platter along with some yummy sides. Finally opted for dessert. Pineapple Coconut Pie. Stop me now!! Local & Homemade. I think this restaurant should be a destination for all tourists!!

Some of the BEST food we have ever had!!

We came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty busy. It's a no-frills space inside but that's what I want in a classic meat and three! There's a menu on the wall with specials and a physical menu a well which was great. Our table had the chicken and dumpling special, fried catfish sandwich, fried okra, mashed and scallop potatoes, green beans, and cornbread. Everything was excellent and you could tell was home cooked. The fish, okra, mashed potatoes and chicken and dumplings were stand outs though. So good! We decided to grab two pies to go to share with some lucky friends, and got the peanut butter fudge and pecan plus a slice of the lemon meringue. Everything was so good but the peanut butter and pecan is very rich (obviously). Both were excellent but we should've grabbed some vanilla ice cream. The lemon meringue was excellent, and if we had known you need to order it in advance to get a whole pie we would've! Now we know for next time. Be sure to stop by The Rose Garden if you are in the area for excellent homemade southern cooking!

When we questioned it, they adjusted it to $14.22. They charged $2.99 for a meat patty for out dog. Most fast food restaurants charge between $1 and $1.50. Possibly the people working at the time didn't know what to charge. I don't know what price adjustment they did, but I wouldn't be surprised if they originally charged even more for the dog's patty.

I don't typically eat at fast food restaurants and aren't often impressed regardless but wow this…read moreWendy's was top notch! Located inside a gas station/truck stop I wasn't expecting much. Be that there wasn't anything else to choose from in between exits on this long stretch of highway I figured it was best to fill up on fuel and food before the gas tank and my stomach hit E and we were left without options again for the next 300 miles. Mistakenly took advice from a local at a rest stop to "take this shortcut" to avoid Nashville rush hour traffic. Didn't know we would be on a wild goose chase to find civilization again!! LOL Anyways, I was excited to see spicy chicken nuggets on the menu, since for a time those were temporarily removed. I ordered those, along with one of their new lemonade flavors and my usual spicy chicken sandwich. The food came quick and to my surprise was actually HOT! So hot I had to let it cool before my next bite. From my experience, sandwiches at fast food chains often taste like they've been sitting under a warming lamp all day and the bun has the appearance of being more than a day old. Not this establishment!! Everything was fresh as it should be considering Wendy's motto is literally fresh, never frozen and quality is our recipe. Great job guys! Also the medium size lemonade is a great deal, so big it could easily be mistaken for a large. Staff was super nice as well and bathroom was clean!

Meals were (1) fried jumbo shrimp with green beans and baked potato,(2) lamb gyro with broccoli, (3) pork chops with Mac and cheese and sweet potato fries, (4) Caesar salad with grilled salmon with a skewered shrimp kabob. Sorry no new pictures but all the meals were excellent. It did take a little time to get the meals due to the crowd, but the meals all came at the same time hot. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and not greasy. The gyro lamb was tender and the flavor was nice. The pork chops (2) were juicy and large. The salmon and shrimp skewers were not over cooked and perfectly seasoned. All the side dishes were good as well. The couple we took to the restaurant had never eaten here. They were delighted to see this gem of a place. So far - this is a great place to eat. Service is very good and hats off to the chef for the excellent food.
