What People Are Saying about the Smokey Q

Five gold stars, indicating a high rating or level of achievement.

In the seven years since I’ve moved to East Tennessee, this is hands down the best BBQ that I’ve found. I grew up in Texas and lived for a few years in Memphis. I’ve also had the opportunity to eat great BBQ at various places around the country and other parts of the world. The food at Smokey Q is all made from scratch to include the pickles. The pulled pork was moist and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of smoke. They had a variety of homemade BBQ sauces to choose from that were excellent. The green beans were made from scratch and the potato salad tasted just like my mom used to make. Although I had to make a 45 minute drive to get there, it was totally worth it. I will certainly be back.

We visited their location off 25W and it was amazing. Great food, the fenced in yard for our dog to run was fantastic.

🔥 Stumbled on this little hidden gem driving from Pigeon Forge to Thorn Hill! The food was soooo good, super clean spot, friendliest staff — and hands down the BEST BBQ and Brisket ever. Totally worth the detour! 😋🚗✨

Fantastic barbecue and the sides were delicious as well. Reasonably priced. Plenty of parking, pet friendly area, with picnic tables. Also have inside dining as well. Definitely will be making a drive by whenever I'm going down I-40 and passing Dandridge. If you're heading to Pigeon Forge I would definitely make it a point to stop by and get a bite to eat or get some food to take with you or your RV or Camper. You can get it by the pound.....#
