We were in the area and wanted to try some real Tennessee BBQ, Did some checking around on my device and everything kept pointing Old Plantation BBQ.
It's in the hood which made it even more credible. Typical hole in the wall shack. And I do mean a little shack almost lol. Standing room only. You can smell those ribs from the street. The ladies inside bring that southern black hospitality with a little "What you want baby" So be sure to let them know if this is your first time.
I asked a couple of people before I went in and they gave me a little history of coming here when they were a kid. This place has been here for like 30 years.
There ribs were seasoned and tender, southern Tennessee BBQ style the sauces definitely were hitting. I am more of a meat man leave the sauce on the side. Beans were good, potatoes salad good. This was some lip smacking BBQ!!! Way better than Northern GA where you can't find real BBQ!!!
I would highly recommend this place if you're in the Chattanooga TN area.

Read moreWent here today for my first time based on people's reviews. Staff was exceptionally friendly. It was as sleannas it could be for a building that old. Portions were nice for the price.
I ordered a bbq beef and bbq pork sandwiches to split with my wife so we could sample both. Pork was kinda ok. It is not pulled pork by no means (pulled pork is cooked till 205° ) melts fat out of meat. Menu says chopped so no false advertising just stating it did have traces of pure fat. Pork had just a hint of smoke flavor, but I don't think it was hickory. Possibly oak. The beef was better than the pork. I did not find any fat in it. Here the spice flavor was lacking also. It hhwas very Tender like a crock pot roast. It did have a better smoke flavor than the pork.
The bbq sauce itself wasn't very saucy or any heat level what so ever. Would I eat here again, yes possibly to see if this trip was a "off day"

it’s just the best. outright hands down gordon ramsey eat your heart out type of bbq. i got the ribs, good god i thought i was passing away from that first bite. i’ve lived in the south my whole life and never once had bbq of this quality anywhere ever. it’s empyrean divinity at its finest, they cook everything with a wood burning fire pit and the quality and effort absolutely shows. high quality meat with healthy amount of fantastic sauce, oh my god you could serve me canned green beans and microwave cornbread as sides and i’d still pay full price for the meat alone.
absolutely fantastic, no one could...
