Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint

Smoking starts at 5 AM every morning at this Mt. Juliet location just outside Nashville. Beyond whole hog, the kitchen turns out smoked wings, burgers, and BBQ nachos alongside a full lineup of Southern sides. Seating spreads across the main dining room, a screened-in patio, and an expansive, beer-only bar offering a clear view of the pits in action. Situated a short drive from Percy Priest and Old Hickory lakes, the counter also packages online orders ready for lake picnics.
