Quick easy good BBQ. This place is not a sit down with waitresses type of place, You place your order at the counter and go get it when it's ready which is usually fairly quick. I always go for the Baby back ribs, but I have tried other things as well. There are huge kegs of different BBQ sauces so... More

Beef brisket and spicy chicken burritos are amazing with sides like cucumber salad, corn bread, sweet potatoes and slaw. Top off with 3 different homeade sauces and a root beer and Memphis ale both on tap..delicious!!!!

Cook doesn’t wash his hands after coming out of the latrine!! I was appalled, is not only bad hygiene but if you work at a restaurant is unexcusable!! I was finishing washing my hands when someone came out of the latrine and walked out with out washing their hands! I thought he was wearing a tennessees bbq t-shirt and thought... More

Tennessee's has excellent barbeque, reasonably priced, and fast. We stop by for eat-in or take-out whenever we're in Peabody/Danvers area. I've lived and traveled down South and out West, and this is as good as it gets. Love the Memphis ribs, smashed potatoes with the best gravy around; baby carrots are sweet and fresh; baked sweet potatoes; awesome pulled chicken... More

Have been here 3-4 times. Brisket chili is really good. Pulled pork is too sweet. Overall, really good and the prices are more than fair.

This was some of the worst BBQ that I have ever tasted. The meat was tasteless; the beans were NOT waht you find in the South. The fountain drinks were some off brand (they should remain unnamed). This is NOT Tennessee Real BBQ by any stretch of the imagination. I base this on having had BBQ at a number of... More
