About

Knoxville smoke, Knoxville owned

Friends BBQ is a locally owned, Knoxville native, smoking barbecue on West Depot Avenue and serving it up at Marble City Market too.

It’s the kind of barbecue you call your friends about: ribs and pulled pork done low and slow, turkey legs the size of your forearm, and sides nobody leaves on the plate. Come hungry, leave happy.

Low & Slow
Smoked in house, the honest way, every day.
