"Peg Leg Porker and Bringle’s Smoking Oasis couldn’t be more different, even though they’re owned by the same team. Bringle’s in the Nations feels more like a local hang, one that gets packed during football season thanks to its outdoor astroturf seating area and multiple ginormous television screens. On any given Sunday (or any day, really), you’ll find dogs and kids sharing the space with sports fans camped out at one of the picnic tables. And on those tables, they’re sharing Bringle’s show-stealing smoked pastrami (something you won’t find on Peg Leg’s menu), West Texas-style brisket, and smoked prime rib along with an excellent version of cowboy beans and street corn. Paired with a beer on tap or frozen cocktail, it’s exactly the type of place where you’ll forget that tomorrow is Monday." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
"This BBQ spot’s outdoor area can handle whatever the weather is up to. On a clear night, it’s where you should bring the kids to run around on astroturf while you snack on bits of wobbly brisket. They also have a covering for their patio, so you can still eat some ribs, play cornhole, and watch a movie or the game on their gigantic TVs if it’s monsooning out." - ann walczak, jackie gutierrez jones 2
"For your next fantasy football draft, or literally any sports-related outing, look to Bringle’s. The space has a sizeable outdoor seating area with plenty of picnic tables, cornhole boards, and, most importantly for your purposes, multiple ginormous television screens broadcasting the game. It’s counter-service, and there will probably be a line when you go, but that’s because the smoked pastrami is really that good (although the pulled pork and cowboy beans also kill it here). And the fast-casual setup takes the hassle out of any end-of-the-meal check discussions. Plus, there’s a dedicated bar for drinks outside, so whenever someone needs a refill, they can just mosey on up and grab a beer without interrupting any heated debates on who should be the next Titans' quarterback." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
"A large, game-day-friendly spot with beers on a spacious outdoor pavilion, big-screen TVs, and a killer pastrami, recommended for group viewing and socializing." - Missy Frederick
"Pitmaster Carey Bringle of Peg Leg Porker brought his smoked meats to the Nations with this family- and pet-friendly outdoor destination stocked with cornhole boards, picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and a myriad of jumbo TV screens. Grab some of the Texas-style brisket, smoked turkey, or the popular pastrami to go with the draft beer and frozen drinks on the menu. The restaurant recently installed a massive outdoor awning so you can enjoy your barbecue come rain or shine." - Kellie Walton
