Keep reading to discover the must-try items on our Buddy’s BBQ menu.

1. Ribs Dinner

A favorite meal on our Buddy’s BBQ menu is the Ribs Dinner. We smoke our ribs on site for many hours using hickory wood. This gives the meat the perfect amount of smoky flavor and makes it so tender it’ll fall right off the bone! When topped with our sweet and tangy sauce, these ribs offer a hearty and satisfying Southern BBQ experience! The Ribs Dinner comes with a half pound of juicy ribs, your choice of two sides, and fluffy hushpuppies. Some of the best sides to pair with your ribs include baked beans, slaw, green beans, potato salad, or corn on the cob.

2. Pork Sandwich

One of the most classic items on our Buddy’s BBQ menu is the Pork Sandwich. This sandwich is a favorite for our guests, and people come back time and time again to order it! Our pork butts are hickory smoked low and slow on site for more than 10 hours. We use special family recipes to give the pork a memorable hometown flavor. We then pull the tender pork and pile it high on a soft bun. Enjoy the sandwich as it comes to savor the smoky flavors of the pork, or top it with our homemade BBQ sauce for a true Tennessee BBQ experience! You can get our Pork Sandwich on its own, or order a Combo Meal to pair it with a fountain drink and the side of your choice.

3. Hawgback Potato

Are you looking for a unique item to try on our Buddy’s BBQ menu? You can’t go wrong with a Hawgback Potato! Enjoy a large, fluffy baked potato filled with your choice of toppings. Order it piled high with pulled pork, beef, chicken, turkey, or ham for a filling Southern delight. For a lighter option or a side dish, you can get your potato with just butter and sour cream or chili and cheese. If you’re not a fan of baked potatoes, don’t worry! You can also order Hawgback Fries and enjoy your favorite meats and toppings on a stack of fries for a satisfying meal or an appetizer to share!

4. Hot Fudge Cake

One item you absolutely have to try on our Buddy’s BBQ menu is the Hot Fudge Cake! We know our generous portions make it difficult to save room for dessert, but the Hot Fudge Cake is well worth it! This dessert features two layers of fluffy chocolate cake and vanilla soft serve ice cream and is topped with a generous amount of hot chocolate fudge. This dessert is perfect for enjoying solo or sharing with a loved one! For kids or adults who want a smaller option, we also have a Jr Hot Fudge Cake available. This dessert offers the same indulgence, just in a smaller serving!
