Experience Through Their Eyes

BBQ Done Right, Flavor That Hits You Like a Haymaker! We finally tried Haymaker BBQ today and wow... hands down the best baked beans I've ever had in my life! Smoky, sweet, and full of flavor, I could've made a meal out of just those. The smoked bologna was melt-in-your-mouth good, the pulled pork was perfectly tender, and that rack of ribs... fall-off-the-bone delicious. Every bite tasted like it came straight from a backyard smoker made with love. If you're anywhere near here, you have to stop in. Trust me, it's worth it!

Good TN BBQ! Got the pulled chicken, burnt ends, baked beans, fries, mac and cheese and cat fish! All pretty good... but the fish was amazing! Prices are pretty good for the meals!

We were happy to stumble upon Haymaker BBQ. Always encouraging when there's a pile of wood and the smoker is going. The new manager and pitmaster was very friendly and explained his commitment to freshness and quality. We enjoyed the pulled pork and brisket the best.

I was working in Kingsport, Tennessee, and traveling back home to Michigan. Made a pitstop to this BBQ joint. Ribs were meaty and amazing, as were the sides. EXCELLENT potato salad, baked beans, and Mac and cheese. I definitely didn't leave hungry... if I ever make my way through this area, I will definitely stop back in. In the one picture, I pulled the meat apart to show how much meat was on the slab.

Been here on multiple occasions, never disappointed! The pulled pork is some of the best I've had and the cheesesteak is DEFINITELY the best. Have recommended this restaurant to a lot of my friends and will continue to go back.
