This BBQ establishment is without a doubt the best BBQ restaurant I have been to in a very long time, possibly EVER! Disclaimer: I have only eaten here twice, but both visits have been extraordinary! So maybe we just got lucky? I doubt it. I say this because both times, the quality was of equal measure. Plus, I have eaten at their JC location and similarly, it was very much the same, i.e., Delicious. As further testament, we enjoyed it so much that we drove up the second time, from Knoxville which is a full 90 minute drive, explicitly just to eat here. As a comparison, for those who like Calhoun's in Knoxville, the quality control of their meat prep is far superior. For example, at Calhoun's, I find roughly 25% of the time, I either have to request a meat swap out or wish that I had (due to dried out/over cooked meat, or super fatty content, etc.). Also, hands down, SC portion sizes are far more generous! The ambiance between the two establishments is quite comparable but the beer selection at SC (we drink the IPA) is a notch above. The wait staff we had, the two times we visited, were The Best! The first time, we were served by Harley--highly cheerful and full of southern charm. The second visit we were served by Autumn--warm hearted and super nurturing. Both were Exceptional at their jobs! We begged Autumn to convince her management to open a location in Knoxville--pointing to Yee-Haw Brewing as a highly successful model for branching into this area. So, here's my pitch: What with the new stadium opening soon, the revitalization of the Downtown-East Area (with affordable real estate remaining off of Magnolia Ave) combined with a lack of great BBQ in the downtown area--sorry Sweet Pea's, albeit very good food, a super tiny estab. with major parking challenge$--the downtown area is ripe for the taking. In the meantime, we will have to find excuses for making the trip to Greeneville for when we want to eat truly GREAT (and not just pretty good) BBQ! Next trip, I will be sure to get some photos to add to my entry.

Food was good, baked beans were different than what I expected, we added some sweet bq sauce to them and they were great! I enjoyed my 1/2 rack of what they called baby back ribs, I thought they were a bit larger and very meaty like St. Louis style. All of the food was tasty. Service was good, we sat in the bar area soit was a little noisy.

Everytime we go to this restaurant whether lunch, dinner, or hosting an event the service is phenomenal and the food is great! The restaurant is always clean and every one of the employees will acknowledge you and make you feel welcomed! Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Although I have been to Southern craft barbecue many times yesterday was the first to indulge in their Sunday brunch. I had the brisket biscuit and gravy meal. The brisket was so flavorful and it had the most amazing Bark on it, I really wish there were more than three pieces because it was that good. The biscuits are pretty large and tasted really good and the gravy was pretty good as well. I'm not gonna say the best gravy I've had But it was decent. I ordered my eggs over easy and at first I was a little disappointed as my yolks were completely cooked but luckily I like cook yolks as well so I just made it work and I was fine with it. I do wish the meal as a whole was a little hotter as it seemed very cool so I'm not really sure if it just sat out for a while before they brought it to my table, but it was still good and I really enjoyed it. I will say this meal is $20 which I do feel is a little on the high side although even with that being said, I would definitely have it again and I left completely full so much so that I couldn't eat for the rest of the day. The other menu items on the brunch menu looked really interesting as well. I took off one star only because it really should have been hot when I received it.

First, the restaurant has two levels and the bar upstairs felt like we were at a friend's house instead of in a restaurant! The beer choices were excellent - I'm hoping to find a place near our home that will stock their beer! The staff were so accommodating and kind, and the food was extremely well cooked and delicious! We walked from our hotel and the place was so welcoming and inviting. We definitely recommend!

When visiting the Greeneville area, I highly recommend Southern Craft BBQ! It's another venue of the StirFry Group. This place was very busy and they were handling the customers well. I opted for the brisket sandwich which came with your choice of a variety of sides. Excellent service and food! Thanks Cameron!
