My sweetheart and I were told about how great Martin's was so we decided to give them a try. The service was good and friendly. My fiancee especially liked the atmosphere. She got a pulled pork sandwich which she said was very good. I got a bacon cheeseburger which very juicy and delicious. Our main complaint was with the serving sizes. We both were disappointed to leave the restaurant still hungry. They need to increase the portion size (but keep the prices the same) and then they would deserve five stars.

The food was good, I really liked the dry rub on my ribs. The place looks good..very country. But I was ticked off a little because they got me 12 rib plate instead of 4 and when I corrected that, before the order was out, the person at the register looked agitated. And suddenly all the cordiality disappeared. I asked for no bacon on my baked potato, and they messed that one too. The person who processed the refund was ok though..i would recommend the place for food, the service may be hit or miss.
Still a great place but anything fried isn't as good as it was prior to November. Not sure how it changed but a couple servers I've asked didn't know what I was talking about. All fried items used to be a darker color and much more flavorful but now the items are more average. Still good but not a stand out from typical southern fried foods. I don't order anything fried anymore and avoid sides for BBQ sandwiches and we don't come as often. Still a good place, just no longer in my "amazing" category. BBQ is still as amazing as ever!

Definitely check them out. The prices are fair, the food is delicious, and the environment feels like something straight out of a movie. Great stuff.
Met some family at Martin's and were treated with one of Nashville's best BBQ joints. I've had some of the best that Texas has to offer and thoroughly enjoyed the brisket, pulled pork, green beans and macaroni & cheese. The green beans were some of the best I've ever had. I was tempted to drink the remaining juice! Great food, great environment. I heard great legends of the whole roasted pig on display but there wasn't one out when we were there.
Was in Nashville for the eclipse and decided to get some barbecue while we were in town...this place lives up to the hype. Awesome, bustling environment, great beer list, impressive whiskey selection, and the food was as good as it was fast. Don't screw around with the other barbecue sauces...the house sauce was good enough to be mopping off of the plate with the provided white bread.
It's kind unnecessary to review this place. It's been around for years and has never had anyone seriously complain. I've been eating here for years about once a week. And I'm not typically a BBQ fan. Theirs is a little more of a vinegar based sauces. I typically go for tomato paste based sauces like at Famous Dave's but Martin's is so great I don't get tired of it. Pork or chicken, both are great. And the ice for drinks is really soft. The only thing inconsistent is the green beans. Sometimes they are crazy spicy, sometimes not at all. Sometimes heavy with onions, sometimes not. They are great most of the time. Again, I eat here often. But the fries... Holy moly they are awesome. They are on the softer, oily side and sometimes crunchy. Taste is amazing. I get them everyone now. Decided the larger amount of calories worth it. Long lines happen often during lunch on the weekends and dinner everyday. But Google is spot on with their estimates. It can be hot on the sides in the summer and chilly in the writer but not too bad. Typically worth it still. At set times of the day, they open up the hog pit for seasoning. You can sit around it but fun for kids that can stomach that stuff. Awesome place!
