Otts BBQ — Restaurant in Burns

We arrived back in the US from New Zealand a couple of weeks ago after two years away, and we were craving BBQ. All I can say is that if you are within 100 miles of Otts BBQ, make that detour! This is legit, this is the real deal. Wes Ott knows exactly what he is doing, and we were so glad of it! We ordered a brisket sandwich and a pulled chicken sandwich, along with some smoked mac and cheese, some coleslaw and some loaded baked potato salad. Everything was on point. Perfect. And if you top that off with a little bit of Wes' spicy BBQ sauce, then it's manna from heaven. Not only does Wes know what he's doing, he's a really nice guy too, and we all chatted a while about driving across country in an RV. We met some of his family, and everyone couldn't have been nicer. In days where chains just seem to get bigger and bigger across the landscape and recipes become more formulaic, Otts BBQ is a refreshing change. So skip the endless list of franchise eateries along the interstate, and take the four mile (yep, only four miles) drive from I40 to get yourself some real food. This place is family owned and run, veteran owned and run, and 100% on the money. You will thank yourself for visiting, and I'm sure Wes and his family will be appreciative too. Thanks Wes, you're a gentleman Sir, and I applaud your talents with...

We tried the brisket and the pulled pork with loaded potato salad and coleslaw. The meat was delicious! The brisket was so tender and both were the perfect ‘smoky’ flavor. The potato salad was not your everybody has it variety and was very good. The coleslaw didn’t have a lot of dressing on it which is so much better than cabbage swimming in sugared mayonnaise. And the flavor was great. Highly...

Moved away from Dickson area for a while. Slowly relocating back to area. Trying to get back into the lifestyles of a rural area. Decided to drop in and support an old freind business. I'm not much for leaving reviews, but hands down, made the top of my list. As far as pulled pork I've had the pleasure to consume. I tried their sauces prior to ever being in business, but it was on previously prepared food, by other people. It was amazing then. But I hits on a whole new level, when the sauce is on the food, they prepared. That's when the marriage of flavor, is at its finest. I...
