The Meat Sweats Bbq - Hendersonville

This is such a wonderful place. We are coming back next month and inviting a lot of friends to come with us and eat there. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My husband found The Meat Sweats online and felt inspired to go to dinner here. We ordered the “Just Trust Us” plate and a plate of BBQ nachos. We shared everything with the table (party of 4). The Just Trust Us dish was filed with a bunch of different meats and sides. Everything was so delicious. We were glad we got to sample a little of everything they have to offer. I wish we lived closer so we could go again.

What happened to this place? I've been living away for 3 years and just moved back. Ordered the brisket burrito because it was always my wife's favorite, figured I'd try it. I've had pork cracklings that were more tender than the brisket in this thing! It's like jerky. Not impressed anymore and probably won't be back. This place used to be great, and I'm a former pitmaster at Peg Leg Porker in Nashville. Sorry, but it's an honest review.

Unfriendly service when ordering (better when I returned for something), cold food, slaw not as described, minimal drink options, no rolls or cornbread with the 2 side meat plate (which ice found to be a pleasant norm at other BBQ restaurants), and plastic cutlery so small and flimsy it was barely usable and this all right after opening, when everything should be at its best. The second star in my rating is for the brisket, which was very flavorful and tender. It would have been excellent if it had been hot and fresh.Update: Unprofessional restaurant response, so I think that does it for me regarding future patronage. As for the response about drinks, I was speaking about the overall menu options, not about a can. As for the heat of the food, I ordered when I arrived and dined in. I began eating as soon as I received it and sat down. It was lukewarm at best.

We are from Illinois, so it's our first time here by my brother's recommendation. We got the brisket burrito and it was INCREDIBLE. I looked at my husband and literally had a tear in my eye. If we even come through Hendersonville again, we will be back!
