Big Papa’s Smokehouse

Really good barbecue with great service. The new location is definitely an improvement save the parking. That can get dicey.We tried the sampler, smoked bologna sandwich, and BBQ baked potato. The barbecue was good, the sides were good, but in my opinion the smoked bologna sandwich shines. That was awesome.The new interior is so much better than the old place. It should be warmer in the winter (the old place was brutal whenever someone opened the door) and it's just an overall more pleasant experience inside. They still have great servers who greet you with a smile.I just need to remind you about something ~ smoked bologna sandwich.

Great barbecue and service, simple, setting, and ambience. We stopped here for lunch and I had a smoked bologna sandwich, unexpectedly delicious! The place is full of locals, which is always the best review of any restaurant, I highly recommend stopping in.

Service was great until the end of the meal. Server asked how the meal was and I told her it was disgusting and instead of trying to make it right or getting someone who could, she just charged me $30.96 for food that was inedible. I ordered the Big Papas Sampler Platter, Mac & Cheese, and Waffle Fries. Sharon ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and Cole Slaw.Everything was gross except for the Waffle Fries.DO NOT GO TO BIG PAPAS SMOKEHOUSE.THE FOOD IS GROSS.We wound up going to TacoBell/KFC which was 1000 percent better.

I have been spoiled y'all. Big Papa's Smokehouse in Lebanon is hands down THE best BBQ I've ever had in my 50 years on this planet. I'm telling you I'm gonna make the drive more often. You can tell they take pride in their craft and that is smokin meat. We ordered the Big Papa's Smoked Meat Sampler and shared it. It included brisket, pulled pork and ribs. When I tell you it was tender it was tender. Full of flavor from start to finish. The ribs fell off the bone and I swear I probably looked like a caveman eating them. I swear hands down perfection. And it was a first for me in regards to Smoked cabbage. I've never even heard of smoked cabbage before; but, by golly, it's phenomenal. You know the meals that stick out as dang good food and memorable???? This is gonna be one. It's that yummy!!!!!! They are gonna be moving to a new location across from Lee's Famous Recipe Chicken soon which we're told is gonna have outside seating and be a more intimate setting. Right now it's in a shopping plaza. I'm excited for them and I appreciate their passion for meat. They really have the meats!!!Please go see them!!!!

We were working in town and I saw Big Papas ...it was a Friday at lunch time. I will post a picture of what I got. I ordered two platters of the three different meats: ribs, pulled pork and brisket . Both orders of ribs looked like the end cuts and weee mainly fat and gristle, not able to eat most of it. The brisket looked and tasted reheated and was dry, same with the pulled pork. The smoked cabbage was good and maybe if the meat was freshly cooked they would have been better. Even my strips of brisket were really fatty. (I will post a picture of what I got) definitely disappointed.

This place has moved new location is at 737 West Main Street They have moved !!!!!!!!

Local hometown barbecue place. We all enjoyed the barbecue and loved the smoked cabbage! None of us had ever had smoked cabbage before, it was really good. Service was great as well, server was very personable. We will be back next time we are on the whiskey trail.

Fantastic BBQ!!! We travel a lot, and this place has the BEST BBQ! Plus the staff and owners are super friendly and service is amazing! Can't wait to get my bbq baked potato at the new location! Did I mention the homemade desserts...... ;-)

We order two platters and the food was ready to be picked up in 8 minutes. They were super friendly and the place felt cozy.
