Okay, so this is Nashville style. However, the pulled pork was mushy and without smoke flavor. The ribs were very tender, but dry and flavorless. The dry rub, mostly comino and chile flavors, was very strong-flavored but the ribs themselves were not. The brisket was okay, but tasted of oak smoke and wasn't exceptional. Nashville area customers obviously love it,... More

Saw this on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and thought we would give it a try since we were in the area. Got there at 4 PM and the place was empty except for one guy at the bar. This is one of those places where you order at a window, then pay, and they bring your food to you. I... More

We also saw Martin's on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. My wife thinks Martin's serves the absolute best BBQ she's ever had. I'm not willing to say that it's my personal favorite-- but I do think its pretty darn good, perhaps the best BBQ in the Nashville area. Service was quick and we managed to grab a seat quickly on a... More

Saw Martin's on DDD & when we moved to TN I knew we had to try it! We have the pulled pork & brisket; both are very good. I always say I'm going to try something different but go back to what we know! Service is friendly & fast. Can't ask for better! More

Martin's is good. Period. My family goes fairly regularly. The pulled pork and brisket are both good and the fries are the best anywhere. But my favorite item is the red neck taco; a large corn-cake topped with meat, slaw and bar-b-que sauce. It's called a taco, but there's no way to fold it and eat it like one, there's... More

I love BBQ and have actually visited this restaurant before several years ago. At the time, I thought it was just ok. Being in Nashville following Christmas, we decided to give this place another try and I am glad we did. First, I remembered from my initial visit that both the wings (yes in a BBQ place) and baked beans... More

Best BBQ joint in Nashville - nothing else needs to be said really. One specific call out is the Alabama White sauce is some of the best stuff you'll ever eat -- even though we usually get ribs or brisket we always order some wings or chicken so we can eat it with Alabama White. Go and enjoy - great... More

I'll admit I'm a regular, but it's not because I work there or I know the owner, it's simply because the food is incredible. For dietary reasons, I get the smoked chicken which is always juicy, plentiful, and has that subtle hickory smoke flavor one expects of fine BBQ. I've also had the pulled pork, the brisket, chicken wings and... More
