Drifters Tennessee Barbeque (bbq) Joint

Out of town for four days, my family went to dinner here all three nights in town. After our first night, we were hooked because of every aspect: the food, the atmosphere, the live music, and the service...... you will not find any better server than Ashley, who waited on us each night. She is so awesome, she even remembered our drink orders on the second day. Their patio is also dog friendly, so our pup was able to join us each night.We tried almost everything on the menu (their nachos are the attached photo) and came to the conclusion that Drifter's has the best BBQ. We will happily return just for this amazing experience!In conclusion, there is not any negative thing I can say about this place, other than it isn't in Knoxville, TN.

BBQ is dry with no flavor. Staff was nice even though it was very busy, so that's a plus.

Go to PEG LEG or Jack’s BBQ. DRIFTERS was way below average. The waiter gave us pulled pork and it was supposed to be brisket. I told the waiter this is pulled pork and he said, no that’s brisket. The ribs were DRY and 3-4 days old. The greens were hard as a rock and had zero flavor. The “baked beans” were out of a can with zero flavor. They don’t have chili on the menu and it’s a bbq restaurant. BBQ restaurants have all of the magical ingredients to make an awesome chili and they don’t have one. I asked why not chili, “we just don’t make it anymore, but it was a best seller.”

Best bbq I've ever had! Amazing people and very cute little neighborhood! Loved it! Went twice in one day! Try the sampler!

I was visiting Nashville for the first time and wanted some authentic barbecue and maaaan did this place over deliver! THIS IS THE BEST BARBECUE I'VE EVER HAD! Hands down! Took a friend there the same night and they also thought this is the best barbecue! Great environment tucked into a great neighborhood in East Nashville. Absolutely perfect!!!
