Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint

This place was almost overwhelming busy when we got there but the service was great. Plenty of staff at the bar and walking around picking up trash and cleaning tables. Also, it's huge. Plenty of places to sit. Really cool outside area as well. They have a pretty large craft beer selection and 3 bars to choose from. Walk up service was quick everytime. I got the brisket sandwich and potato salad. Very good brisket and potato salad. Prices were good for downtown Nashville standards. Parking: Finding free parking isn't easy but it's downtown Nashville. There is expensive paid parking around town and you can walk to it.

This place was great! The staff was friendly, the establishment was bustling with a mixture of locals & tourists, yet still clean in the dining & restroom areas. The food was soooo good & incredibly seasoned to perfection. I’m from TX & I think I prefer Nashville BBQ after this experience. We got ribs, brisket, mac n cheese & slaw…all were so flavorful & exceeded expectations. One thing I’ll note is the “BBQ sauce” at the tables is quite watered down/runny, but at least when used in addition to the legitimate, thicker BBQ sauce that comes WITH your meal, it’s still pretty great tasting & somewhat of a moisturizing agent for the food. Would for sure visit again!

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 I added Martin's BBQ sauce. We had very well prepared smokey pulled pork. Great porky goodness. We had incredible baked beans that had a thick sauce. Awesome with the ho cake. A plate of gooey mac & cheese with a crunchy bread crust. Also had very good fries that I splashed with BBQ sauce. We washed everything down with a cold sweet tea. It has a great atmosphere and excellent food. I will go back when in Nashville and highly recommend a visit.
