We dare you to. We bet you will. Give it a try. And you will do just like the sign says.

Love that BBQ.

Love that BBQ at 1901 Maryville Pike is a restaurant that looks too small to back up its big reputation.

Known for mouth-watering sandwiches, lunch plates with 2 sides, and family packs, no order is too big or too small. Add the unusual, like smoked baloney, the all-time favorites, like hamburgers and pig burgers, and of course, smoked wings, this restaurant aims to please.

The Dining Duo went to Love that BBQ on the suggestion of one of our readers. And we are glad that we did. We both ordered pork BBQ sandwiches, hush puppies, and cole slaw. It proved to be one of the best lunches we have had lately. We were slightly broken-hearted to find the banana pudding not quite ready, but we buried our sorrows in two large homemade brownies.

Needless to say, we left smiling.

Love that BBQ has been open 7 years, offering pork, chicken, and BBQ brisket along with homemade sides and desserts. With Phil cooking, serving, and connecting with each customer that walks through the door, we believe that LTBBQ will be here many, many more.

Dining Duo is looking for the “hidden gem eateries “where the locals fill the breakfast and lunch hour; those local haunts tucked into the out-of-the-way or right on the way places missed in the hustle and bustle of the day. Please email us your recommendations at knoxtndiningduo@gmail.com.
