Shotgun Willie's BBQ

Best BBQ I've had in a very long time. Every side was excellent... Meat was cooked perfectly. Friendly service. They could use a bigger seating area but that's about the only bad thing I could say. Wonderful experience I highly recommend trying this place.

Always great food and service

Best bbq in Nashville

Texas style BBQ is the best in Nashville. I’m a TN native and lived in Austin TX for 3 years. Home to some of the worlds most famous BBQ restaurants. I have to say that this is the best BBQ in Nashville. I’m not going into detail on this just go try it.

Food was amazing. Bbq sauce was great. Closest to Texas bbq I’ve had!

Hands down the best barbecue in the Nashville area as far as I'm concerned

I’ve travelled through Memphis and Nashville and have eaten at an embarrassing amount of BBQ joints. Shotgun Willie’s has, in my opinion, the best ribs I have eaten. Up there with the best ribs I have ever eaten. Fantastic, smoked to perfection with the right amount of fall off the bone and still maintaining a nice bit of chew. Not chewy, but perfectly chewable. They have an excellent pepper rub, and didn’t need any sauce. With that said, I love sauce and theirs was incredible. Brisket was top notch. I prefer ribs over brisket. That being said, they had great brisket. Their sides were done to perfection, however my personal preference is for sweeter sides, like the bbq beans for instance. My friends from Texas would have been in heaven with these sides, and they were really good, just my personal preference is a bit different from what they served. Would I eat them again. 100% yeas and I would enjoy every second of it. Go there, eat meat, be happy.

Easily our favorite stop for BBQ in the Nashville area. Best pulled pork & chicken E.V.E.R. Tender, juicy - they only have plastic cutlery, so you know it falls right off the bone & melts in your mouth. End your meal with the banana pudding. Service is phenomenal - small homegrown style environment. If you’re in town, it’d be a crime to miss this place!

Good BBQ & dessert

We were working at a job site nearby and decided to give it a try. The staff was friendy and the barbecue was amazing. I highly recommend this place.
