Trolinger's

There is no way the reviews for this place are credible and legitimate. This was absolutely the worst barbecue we have ever had. Hands-down, both of us agreed that it was just simply awful. First of all, this is the only barbecue place that has no smoke rings on any of their proteins. Neither the pulled pork nor the half chicken tasted like it was smoked on hardwood. It seemed like it was either microwaved or maybe baked in the oven, or perhaps a combination of both. Very little flavor, extremely dry, and an awful experience. On top of that, there is no way that potato salad and baked beans are homemade. If I was a betting man, I suspect that they simply just purchasing Reesers deli products and repackaged them into smaller containers. We should have taken the hint that on a Sunday afternoon, there was not a single person in the sitting area. Every table was empty, and now we understand why. I suspect, many years ago this place was substantially better. Currently quality is very poor, and the experience was subpar.

This is my favorite bbq place. I don't add any bbq sauce, it's a little too spicy for me.

Always a bustling, busy place which is a good sign of good food. Rustic country store vibe, with friendly, quick service. Order a freshly made sandwich or sub at the meat counter, or bbq, ribs or chicken in another line. Sliced cheese and crackers is a perfect snack. Seating available to eat in, or grab steaks and burgers to grill at home or the lake.

I have had the pleasure of visiting Trolinger's in Paris, TN on numerous occasions, and I must say that it always exceeds my expectations. From the moment I pulled into the parking lot the first time, I knew that this was going to be a special place.The gas station itself is fairly unassuming, with a large parking lot and a simple, straightforward design. But as soon as I walked through the doors, I was immediately struck by the size of the store. It was absolutely enormous, with rows and rows of shelves stocked full of all sorts of goods, from snacks and drinks to household supplies and even clothing.But what really set Trolinger's apart for me was the deli and smokehouse. The aroma of slow-smoked barbecue filled the air, and my mouth started watering as soon as I walked in. The selection of meats was impressive, with everything from pulled pork and ribs to brisket and chicken. And the sides were equally mouthwatering, with options like baked beans, coleslaw, and mac and cheese.But the real star of the show was the barbecue sauce. Made in-house with a vinegar base, it was unlike any barbecue sauce I had ever tasted. It had just the right balance of sweetness and tanginess, and the flavor really elevated the already delicious meats. I couldn't get enough of it, and I ended up bringing a bottle home with me.In addition to the barbecue, the deli also had a fantastic selection of sandwiches and other dishes. The freshly-sliced ham sandwich was particularly noteworthy, with a creamy dressing and served on fresh, soft bread. And the ribs were some of the best I've ever had, with a crispy, golden crust and moist, flavorful flesh.But the real standout at Trolinger's was the pulled pork sandwich. The quality of the smoking was top-notch, with each bite somehow juicier than the last; perfectly cooked and infused with the rich, smoky flavor that only comes from hours of low and slow cooking.Overall, my experience at Trolinger's is always outstanding. The store itself was impressive, with a wide selection of goods and a friendly, helpful staff. But it was the deli and smokehouse that really stole the show, with their delicious barbecue, sandwiches, and smoked meats. If you're ever in the Paris, TN area, I highly recommend stopping by Trolinger's for a truly unforgettable meal.

So happy we made a stop here, picked up lots of stuff also had some pretty good ribs! Helpful staff as well!

Don't let the exterior site of this gas station shaped like a barn fool you. This place houses a legit butcher shop inside and a solid selection of bbq rubs, sauces and groceries. I've been able to buy somewhat hard to find cuts of meat here and have never been disappointed with the quality. The staff is always friendly, the facility is clean, and the prices are not horrible. Highly recommended.

BBQ is delicious! Fresh meats galore! Variety of specialty items you can't find anywhere else! Locally owned and operated!

Trolinger's is not your usual place, but it's nice. It's a combination general store, convenience store, fuel stop, grocery store, butcher and BBQ joint.The butcher and BBQ are in the back of the store and there is usually a line waiting for service, even in the middle of the afternoon. The line goes quickly and there are several people back there to assist you. We like the few picnic tables out front to eat our BBQ if the weather is fair.This is also a place where you can actually spend some time just looking at things. You never know what will show up at Trolinger's for sale. Of course, there are other places similar to Trolinger's, but each of those places has its own personality and vibe. Trolinger's typically stays busy!!!

I am not reviewing the food served here, which isalways good,but rather the meat sold by the storeI have been buying my meat here for over 10 years,and have been pleased.lately though their beef hasgone downhill. I purchased several loins of new Yorkstrip,and then a rib steak rack,and to my disappointment the meat was so bad my wife, and Ihad to wind up using it for stew meat,(as steak it wasso tough,and full of gristle.)it was impossible to eat.

Not handicap friendly at all. Menu only visible from Left counter. Where the rude lunch rush opposes a handicap customer to view. Are paper menu just too pricey to be available at other counter areas? Navigation of narrow isles crazy close. Does Paris have a fire Marshall? This looks to be a hazard to me. Based on this visit, will not recommend or return.
