5+???? The Brisket is so smoky and moist it doesn't need any sauce! Their take on the collard greens with Black eyed peas and... butter beans mixed in is fantastic. The banana pudding, some of the best. Mac and cheese, also good! All in all, a veryauthentic soulful meal. Let's not forget the very eclectic ambience also the cleanliness of the bathrooms and kitchen. Read more

They have glass bottle Cheerwine! That adds a star right there! The restaurant is clean and the tables are nice. Service wasn't... bad and the brisket was good. The thick sauce is very good, but I didn't like the other sauces. I got the BBQ burrito which ispretty unique and was delicious. The pinto beans were very bland. Reminds me of eating just straight up boiled beans with mydaughter when she was 6 months old. Overall it was very good. 3 people 3 meals 2 drinks right at $60. My wife got the BBQchicken sandwich with Mac & Cheese and potato salad. Neither of us liked the potato salad. I would recommend this restaurant. Read more

Decided to stop at this place and get a meal. Talk about a good choice. Got the sample with pulled pork, Mac and cheese, greens,... and tater salad and banana pudding for desert. Everything was just amazing. The greens are to die for. The tater salad is uniquecompared to almost every other place I've had tater salad. All if the meats perfectly done. Well worth it. Read more

Went to Sweet P's for lunch in downtown Knoxville Saturday. Parking in the city lot is free on the weekends. This place has the... appearance of a hole in the wall place but is actually very nice on the inside. The booths are repurposed church pews. My girlgot a $3 mimosa and I got a beer that was finished in a bourbon barrel. Really nice bourbon flavor and kinda strong. I gotpulled pork that was perfectly smoked. Smoked mac & cheese that was outstanding. Cheesey and smokey. Also got a very freshcoleslaw that was kinda sweet. Chelsea got a half BBQ chicken that she picked down to a skeleton. I know she enjoyed it. Theyshake a dry spice concoction on it I enjoyed it very much. I typically don't care for it but this was really good. She got themac & cheese as well and potato salad. They have three sauces on the table. I used the ketchup based which was different butextremely good. Not a sauce that I'm used to but found it to be very enjoyable. For dessert the best damn banana pudding youwould ever want. Kind of a small portion on the banana pudding. It was so good I wanted more. This is a cool place. Lunchcounter style dining and then grab a seat. Excellent and friendly staff in a World Fair decorated area. I highly recommend avisit to Sweet P's. I'll be back for sure. Read more

Great BBQ. The ribs were excellent with a dry rub that was great on its own. Pork was good too with well balanced levels of... smoke flavor. Good sides and beer selection. I'd go back any time. Read more
