This Tiny Shop In Tennessee Serves Barbeque To Die For
Note: as of January 2021, this restaurant is permanently closed.
Good barbecue doesn’t lie in a secret recipe or a quirky eatery. No, those things are important – but truly great barbecue comes from the heart of Tennessee, served with a side of southern hospitality. We stumbled across Family BBQ, located in Dickson, and simply fell in love with their adoration of bbq and community. These are true Tennessee hearts, here.

Craving a bit of down home bbq? A place that serves the good stuff, far away from the overly populated city lights of Nashville and Memphis? Then we've got just the place for you, Tennessee. It's a tiny spot out in the middle of, well - almost nowhere, that does authentic bbq like nowhere else we know.

So...when we say it's in the middle of nowhere, we aren't kidding. Let's zoom in a bit, shall we?

Ah. There we go. This sweet place in Dickson, Tennessee is a local favorite when it comes to those weekend barbecue binges. Owned by Randy and Vicky Lynch, this sweet spot is only open on Fridays and Saturdays.

You can't mess with a beautiful thing, you know!

They recently posted their menu to their Facebook page, so you know precisely what you're looking for. I don't know about you, but that rack of ribs? Sign us up! (With a couple of friends, of course.)

Is your mouth watering yet...?

Because ours most definitely are. HELLO.

One of things we love about this Dickson hotspot is how it develops an authentic sense of community. They shot off fireworks on the Fourth of July, and their Facebook outlet is fairly exploding with smiling baby faces and laughing families, enjoying the beauty of a Tennessee southern meal.

Family BBQ in Dickson, Tennessee. It's a place you have to visit at LEAST once, and most likely a spot you'll continue to frequent for the rest of your days - if you're lucky enough to live close. Happy eating!
