Have any of you ever heard of this restaurant chain? I guess they have 17 restaurants so far. One opened up in my town and they had two pulled pork sandwiches for $5 so I figured what the heck I'll try it. OMG I could not detect one bit of smoke in the meat and it was more like spaghetti than pork chunks. They claim they are into BBQ at it's finest. Yuk I didn't even see a smoker on the premises. Must use liquid smoke. Just curious if anyone else has tried them?

They had a small group with that name in Nashville for over a half century.The waitresses wore cowgirl outfits and waited on your car on roller skates.

Real drive ins and used to be pretty good.

It's a franchise chain now. The lack of an onsite smoker would probably indicate the meat is distributed from a central/regional commissary. At $2.50 @ sammy, you get what ya pay for.

I was in college in Nashville from 1965-1969. My buddies and I would eat at the Bar-B-Cutie on Murfreesboro Rd. You could get 1/2 fried chicken and fries for $1.25. That was good eats for a bunch of broke college kids. Kind of makes you long for the Good Old Days doesn't it!!!

What's the name, BAR-B-Cutie? Texas Roadhouse sell's BBQ ribs. They place them in a pan, add liquid and foil. Next they cook in the oven until done and brush on BBQ sauce

They call that BBQ also.

Yep,Papa Bear.I worked there a couple days a month for many years.Big Jim Coursey's,out the back gate of the Fairgrounds, was the other favorite.

They both gave good food and good value.

I live about 1 mile from one in TN. I am pretty sure the have a big Southern Pride smoker behind the counter. I will look next time I am there. Their brisket is always really good.

Brisket hadn't been invented in the South in those days.It was pork,pork,pork,ribs,and chicken.
