Reviews for Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint in Nashville, TN
Was very excited to have the ribs and fried cornbread after trying them out in Birmingham 3 years ago. However, it turned out... DRY AND HARD and not fall off the bones tender as before. After speaking to Jesse, the manager, next day, he made good byletting us retry those ribs (in pictures) again, promising them to be up to my expectations. YES! They were more tender andjuicy. A world of difference from previous night offering!! It was awesome to have such a positive and attentive manager. Kudosto Jesse. Thanks! Read more
Decent local BBQ place. The upstairs and downstairs atmospheres are VERY different. By the time we ordered dinner at about 620pm... on a Monday evening, they were out of brisket, turkey, beans, and several other items. The table service does not include drinkrefills - you have to go get your own. Pulled pork was well cooked, but mediocre flavored. Brisket was okay but could have usedmore smoke flavor. The chicken was well cooked and well flavored! The potato salad was like nothing I've ever had before, andnot in a good way. The slices of white bread were hard. The ribs had a good amount of dry rub, but were fatty. In fact, themore of this review that I've written, the more stars I've taken away! Read more
Had such a great experience here! The BBQ was awesome and we were seated fairly quickly since we sat at the bar. After dinner we... went upstairs and listened to a live band. Overall the restaurant was decorated so nicely it really had such a great atmosphere.My friends had the BBQ plate and I had the red neck taco. Overall you must come and try this restaurant!! Such awesome BBQ, thebest we?ve had in Nashville! The beers and drinks were also reasonably priced so win win! Read more
The food and atmosphere here is awesome. I got the platter for two and then also two additional sides and 4 extra ribs. For... two of us it was way too much food! I went there at 5pm and waited in line for 15 minutes to get in, which wasn't bad. When Ileft around 630pm, the line was getting really long... so I recommend going earlier to avoid the line. Definitely go upstairsto the outdoor area as it's really fun up there! Highly recommend the ribs, they're huge! I also enjoyed the coleslaw and theMac and Cheese. The BBQ sauce is delicious as well!

Family members told us we had to stop by here during our trip to Nashville. We stopped for lunch and the food was AMAZING! We... had the farmhand fries as an appetizer. They were spicy but not overpowering. I had the pulled pork sandwich with Mac n? cheese, and my husband had the half rack of ribs with potato salad and a cornbread hoecake. Wow! Service was great and food excellent.We would definitely eat here again! Read more
Delicious BBQ place downtown Nashville. Place was hopping on the weekend but we got right in. The farmhand fries are big and... good enough to be a meal. Brisket burger was on point. I will definitely be getting ribs next when I go back. (I will go back).The inside upstairs is awesome because it feels like you are sitting outside. They have live music, dart boards, ping pong,private room. Read more
The line was out the door when we arrived which definitely signified how great this place is! Ordering was simple and finding... seating was a breeze! Our food runner brought our food out right away. My spouse and my mother in law both go the brisket andsaid it was perfection. I ordered the fried catfish sandwich! Unfortunately, I was given a chicken sandwich instead which meantthat I had to wait a bit longer to eat since the food runners had to swap out my food. But once my fish sandwich came out, itwas game over! Literally the best food I had during my trip to Nashville. Read more
Went to Martin's BBQ for lunch today. It was crowded and loud but they had Tennessee Titans football on because it's Sunday. Mom... and I got food and split everything. We had big smokey very meaty spare ribs. They were phenomenal with a rub on them and Iadded Martin's BBQ sauce. We had very well prepared smokey pulled pork. Great porky goodness. We had incredible baked beans thathad a thick sauce. Awesome with the ho cake. A plate of gooey mac & cheese with a crunchy bread crust. Also had very good friesthat I splashed with BBQ sauce. We washed everything down with a cold sweet tea. It has a great atmosphere and excellent food. Iwill go back when in Nashville and highly recommend a visit. Read more
