Archers Bbq - Knoxville

The greens need more flavor (bacon) and less pepper. Everything else was great. We'll be back. Daughter was up visiting from Florida and HAD to return to Archers. She went to Archers last time they were up to visit.Food: 4/5

Bf's favorite bbq place, we drive an hour to get it. Nice people, great meat, good sauce selection (there are 6 different bottles at the table to self serve from). Their shirts are really cute, too! I recommend a pulled pork sandwich, add jalapeno pimento cheese!Food: 5/5

My husband, Tim, got the basic 1/2 rack plate with baked beans and coleslaw. He was astonished by how the ribs fell off the bone, the basic sauce was perfect (he doesn't like spicy), the beans were perfect for his palate, and even though the coleslaw was coarse- it was delicious.

Good food, nice smoked flavors, good sides.I loved the ribs, good texture while cleanly coming off the bone. I wish there was little more meat on the two ribs that come with the plate, but taste wise very good. Potato salad was also very good.

Archer’s is THE place to go for quintessential Knoxville ribs! Their dry rub cannot be beat, and their classic sauce is always the best match. The ribs are meaty and the fat is always evenly cooked in. If you’re into brisket, stop by early on Fridays or Saturdays and you’re sure to be delighted!We usually get a full rack of ribs to share with the family, as well as a pound of one other meat, depending upon what we all feel like.This particular location can be a bit tricky to access if Kingston Pike is busy, but it’s well worth it. Inside you’ll find the friendliest staff and classic no-nonsense furnishings that are a sure sign of the real thing.
