Parton's Smokin Butz BBQ

The chicken was very, very good. I don't know who put the price tag at low. For two people to eat, it cost us almost $40! While it was a bit pricey, I was assuming the normal BBQ price tag. Will we be back? Probably so. Will I be getting the same meal? Probably not, I will be getting the chicken only. Not only will that make the price lower, it will also be worth it completely.

The meat was cooked nicely - pork is good, smoked chicken is great, and the sausage is good.  The mild BBQ sauce has a good flavor but the hot BBQ sauce is HOT!  Try before you apply.

Highly recommend:  mac & cheese, fried okra, and homemade orange cupcakes.  The corn muffin is amazing, kind of like a cake with a cinnamon-y icing drizzle.
Do not recommend:  Potato salad (just not enough flavor for me, but nice texture)

Apparently, on thursdays and occasionally on fridays there is some sort of loaded BBQ baked potato.  I thought I was dreaming when I saw it because it is not on the menu.  You just have to know!

Everyone was super nice and its a family kind of place.  Will be back!

They tend to cook their meat a little well done for my tastes. I wasn't too impressed the first time I went. We got ribs, pulled pork, and brisket. All of the meat was way too well done and the brisket was sliced too thick, in my opinion. The fries were crinkle cut right out of the freezer section, but the sweet potato casserole was incredible. The second trip was a different story, though. We got the sliced sausage and catfish for meat and both were great. The best catfish I have tasted since I moved to east Tennessee. The sides were okra, mac and cheese, potato salad, and onion rings- all of which were good. The service was also great and the prices are reasonable. I really hate to just give this place 3 stars, but it is a BBQ place and the traditional meats aren't the greatest...the sausage and catfish are tops, though! Almost forgot- their corn muffins are pretty interesting. They kind of have the texture of cake with a corn flavor and are topped with a thick honey sauce. Not the kind of cornbread I am used to, but it was good.
