Where Nashville Food Writers Loved to Eat in 2018 | Eater Nashville

"I regularly default to Martin’s for hearty comfort BBQ and am practically addicted to the smoked wings with Alabama white sauce." - Delia Jo Ramsey

1st visit & we loved it! Had never heard of this restaurant & my mother-in-law today us to join her for lunch. I ordered the Big Brother Sampler which consists of 2 big portions of meats & 2 sides. This is definitely a meal for 2 people, but I have leftovers to treat myself later. Brisket was the most tender that I've had from a restaurant. Ribs were so tender that it drooped over when holding it. We got an order of smoked wings & they were great. I wish that the meats had a little more seasoning on them. Fries were very delicious & appreciate the fact that they are made from scratch. Baked beans ....I didn't see a Google review about them, but let me tell you now....they were perfect! Smokey, sweet, & peppery with chunks of brisket. We will definitely glue back again for another visit to try other items.

It was a very lively place. The staff was super nice and helpful. We had one of the guys always checking on us to make sure we had what we needed. They went above and beyond. Now the food. We got the ribs, hoecakes, Mac n Cheese, Fries, potato salad, and homemade chips. The ribs were freaking amazing!!!! They were falling off the bone and the sauce was so very good!!! We got them half and half and I definitely would recommend to get them with sauce. The dry rub was good too, just not as good as the wet ribs! The hoecake was pretty good too. Nice and Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Mac n Cheese was alright, not the best side on the menu. The fries were homemade with real potatoes not frozen. And they were epic!!! Seasoned very well. The best side on the menu that we tried!!! Highly recommend the fries. The potato salad was pretty good too. The homemade chips were good and seasoned nicely. The parking lot did fill up pretty fast but there was still plenty of seating inside. One of the best BBQ places I have ever ate at!

I gave this 5 stars because the staff was friendly, the food was great, & the atmosphere was good. Unpopular opinion I am sure…but the house bbq sauce was a little bland. I thought it lacked taste, spice, vinegar, or whatever you like. Anyways, that was my only critique. They made up for it having FREE moon pies at the register!

First time to Martins! It was good but needed to ask for a different barbecue sauce. The vinegar based one on the tables was not my favorite. Brisket tacos were great as was the pork. The turkey and chicken were good. Hush puppies were a little gritty! We didn’t try the pie which is unusual for me but will next time.

Love the outdoor dining in the fall and spring. Great food, atmosphere, and service. The price is a little high but you get what you pay for. The brisket is always on point.

We heard about this place and had to try it. I had the 4 bone spare ribs with fried and broccoli salad. It was delicious. Wife had a smoke turkey sandwich and mac and cheese. The atmosphere was relaxed. Workers were very polite. Prices of the food is reasonable. Red sauce, white sauces, and vinegar base sauce in the table. They do have a To-Go bar also.

Stopped here by chance, looking for a quick lunch. Very fast service, decent food snd sweet tea. Love the open air atmosphere of the restaurant. Parking can be a bit intimidating however. I tried the brisket which was tender and also the Mac and cheese.

I'm from Texas and picky about BBQ. This is phenomenal food!! I 100% recommend Martin's. I had the sliced brisket and smoked turkey combo with potato salad and cole slaw. My husband had a chopped brisket sandwich. We love it!! I'm also a potato salad snob, and this potato salad is on point. I love that they have product and swag you can purchase. The staff are the most down-home, kind, good souls. The only thing I'll say beyond that is, I'd like to see buttermilk pie on the menu.
