This was straight up def one of the best meals I’ve had in a minute and the Mac and cheese is hands down the best ever. Our bartender, Felicia, was amazing and you can tell the girl really knows her meats. I tell you what though. This potato salad will smack your granny sideways. We to’ it up.
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 unique compared to almost every other place I've had tater salad. All if the meats perfectly done. Well worth it.
I was really excited to try Sweet P's when I came to visit Knoxville based on positive reviews I saw on YouTube and other platforms. Maybe my expectations were set too high, but I was a bit underwhelmed. We had the BBQ sampler plate. The smoked chicken was tender, but I was disappointed by the ribs which were rather dry. All of the meat dishes were also quite cold.
