“ Super friendly staff, and quick lines. The food is awesome, some of the best BBQ pork I've had in years, and everything was hot. The portions are pretty big too for the price! The BBQ spud is one to remember for sure, and the pie is perfect. ”
“ Small local place with top- notch food and service. The staff is really friendly and super efficient. We ordered the meatloaf sandwich with onion rings and slaw and the grilled pimento cheese sandwich w/ fried green tomatoes and fries. Food came out quickly and everything was delicious. Prices are reasonable and portions are generous. Definitely will be going back to try the cowboy beans and burgers. ”

“ Fantastic burgers and BBQ, the bbq meatloaf is a must, there are daily specials and I believe Friday is half price dessert, I recommend the banana pudding. Never once have I had bad service in 2 years of coming here. ”
“ This place has something for everybody. I've eaten a lot of different items on their menu and I can say that all of it is delicious. Brisket sandwich, homemade chips, !!WINGS!! The staff are always happy and helpful and make sure you are pleased with your order. ”
“ Found this place on Uber Eats and it definitely did not disappoint! Had the Cowboy Potato, Pimento and tomato sandwhich (can never go wrong with that) and the Siracha Bourbon WINGS!!! The food was hot and delish upon arrival and did I say WINGS?! Boy, oh boy were they amazing! Slathered with sauce with the perfect amount of heat and sweet! I have read the reviews on the great quality service in house and sorry I had to miss out on that, but glad I ordered while waiting to get loaded at the shipper! If you have the chance to stop by or order for take out, I highly recommend this place! ”
“ The food was excellent, the wait staff were helpful and courteous while focusing on efficiency. The proximity to Domtar & Eastman makes this a great place that’s both affordable and fast! The food portions are enormous but each bite has that deep Smokey flavor that comes along with true blue barbecue sauce. Their barbecue sauce reminds me of a mixture of Memphis and Carolina barbecue sauce. If you’ve never been here, I highly recommend it. Try the pulled pork sammich, make it a combo and get a very large drink as well for under 11! ”
“ After a recommendation from friends, we were so excited to find BBQ in Kingsport! Food was ready when we got there. Owner was talking with us and making us feel like home. Food was amazing! Burger, brisket quesadilla and ribs! Definitely going back! Thanks for dinner, Center Street! ”
