I am from Memphis TN. I have competed in and judged on the Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Circuit. I was skeptical when I saw a restaurant in Arizona claiming to have Tennessee BBQ and down home southern food. So I had to try it.The wait staff greeted us quickly and to my pleasant surprise they actually had Sweet Tea. Not the overpowering sugar water with a little tea flavor, but true sweet tea where the sugar compliments the tea.When I asked about their Ribs the owner and grill master knew what they were talking about. They was able to explain the cooking process and understood the difference between the different types of BBQ Sauces.We had Fried Okra and Fried Pickles for Appetizers which were wonderful. I had a half slab of ribs with the sweet sauce on the side and sampled the spicy sauce my wife got. Both were wonderful.Falling back on my judging criteria, the appearance of the food was excellent. The ribs were fall off the bond tender with just the right amount of bone sticking out at the top to tell me they were done. They were moist even without sauce, but not full of fat. The taste was just like being back home in Memphis, and the owner and cooks knowledge and presentation of their process showed a knowledge of how to BBQ Ribs (smoke with low temperature, over several hours).The only complaint I have about the entire dining experience was that they were out of pulled pork so I didn't get to try it. I guess that will be on my list for the next time I come to the Area.

The food is very delicious. I do recommended if you want to feel your tummy up. The staff is very nice. The food came out very quickly.

Stopped for lunch. First off all, our waitress, Grace, was super nice and helpful. Hubby and I split the brisket salad with blue cheese crumbles and dressing. Very good, would recommend you try! Split the grilled chicken/avocado sandwich. No lettuce or mayo on it so a little dry. I added mustard.All in all it was good and good size lunch for us.

Cameron our server was amazing, wings were amazing and for 50% off on Wednesdays ? WOW! We also got the Hunkin Burnin Love Burger which was delicious as well. We will definitely be coming back

The Tennessee Grill catered our wedding and the food and service were wonderful! We received many compliments on the yummy Brisket, pulled pork, sides and friendly staff. We are super appreciative of how prompt and organized they were.

Can't believe we've never eaten here, so good! Great menu! Yum!

Stopped in for lunch today, i had the nachos with pulled pork. They were awesome! Been looking for a good nacho somewhere. The people were friendly and prompt. A good atmosphere. I give this place all 5 stars. The menu looked delicious can't wait to try the other food choices

This is the first time in years that I have sat down for a meal at a restaurant and was struck by how good it was! I had the chicken pot pie. It was creamy and cooked to perfection. I can't wait to get back to try the chicken fried steak. The service was excellent as well, friendly and attentive.

The food is really good here. Lots of BBQ options. The fries and tater tots were cooked in fresh oil. The peach cobbler is cooked in personal cast iron pans with vanilla ice cream. Would highly recommend.

Food and service were amazing. The mango habanero wings are to die for, perfect amount of heat and sweet. Sweet potato fries were perfect, not greasy, or limp. Husband had country fried steak breakfast and said it was great (ate it all!). We will definitely be back very soon❤️
