You guys have helped when I visited Atlanta and then Chicago. I am spending only one night in Knoxville this week can you suggest best place to try ribs? There are quite a few highly rated restauants on Yelp and other sites not sure which to visit. Is Knoxville known for dry ribs like Memphis?
Thanks,
Howard

Knoxville doesn't really have great BBQ, Calhoun's ribs are ok. I agree with henapple on Litton's.In Manchester, TNVol For Life!

This is disappointing. Thanks for letting me know

Buddy's.

I've not had them, but I know several who have....Dead End BBQ. My friends highly recommend this place for ribs. But this is second hand information.

Some people really like Dead End BBQ, I've never had it but it's a local place.In Manchester, TNVol For Life!

Sausage and cheese applitizer at Dead End BBQ is really good. Great place

If you ever go to Boston, log in as someone else before asking.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

At Dead End BBQ the TN Cheddar Brisket sandwich is top notch. Only had there ribs once not impressed.Be WellKnoxville TN

Just called my Knoxville salesman ( he's a Knoxville lifer). He said Dead End on Sutherland Ave is best but a little harder to find. He's said Buddy's on Kingston Pike is good too even though it's an area chain. Easier to find.

I was at Calhouns's on Kingston Pike a few year's back. Sitting, drinking and eating at the bar - on an expense account. Ordered wings and fries. Struck up a conversation with a couple next to me at the bar.
The wings were really good but they were small, I mean tiny. the guy asked how did I like the wings. I said they're really good but they're too small.
The guy was the owner.New Albany, Ohio -

Grew up in Knoxville and live here now. There are three places I would tell you to check out. The best ribs and pork I have had here in the last few years are at Archer's BBQ. There are several locations in Rocky Hill, Bearden and Farragut. My second choice for pork is Sweet P's with Dead End coming in close too. Never had ribs at either of those though. If you don't want BBQ, I would suggest Litton's or Stock and Barrell they both have great burgers. Hope you enjoy your visit.LBGE Knoxville, TN

All that helped out with this. I just found out my meeting changed to Nashville. There's gotta be a ton of good local (non touristy) places to get ribs.

Just went through Knoxville and ate at Archer's. Outstanding Ribs, collard greens and pulled pork sandwich. We stopped there on the way to Florida and stopped there on the way back home to Toronto. Thanks for the recommendation.
