M&M Barbeque Catering and Takeout — Restaurant in Farragut

I live close to this establishment so I decided to stop by and pick up some lunch for my out of town guest and family so we could enjoy our Sunday afternoon without the hassle of cooking. I purchased a pan or chicken wings and a slab of ribs and (3) pints of sides for a whooping $40.42. Well let's just say I was VERY disappointed. The sides were acceptable but the so called BBQ was the worst I've ever had. The ribs were spare ribs, shame on me for not asking, I'd suspect they never touched a grill or smoker because they had no flavor at all. They were soggy from lying in a pan of sauce. I'm certain they had been in that sauce for days. The wings were the same way, not fresh and soggy from lying in the pan of sauce. My teenage son that will normally devourer almost anything couldn't even eat it. Needless to say I was embarrassed when I tried to serve this to my family and guest. I have had their pulled pork on one other occasion and it was edible but not very favorable. I would not recommend this...

If you’re craving classic BBQ, M&M delivers. It is worth a long drive, traffic, and a wait.

We ordered a ½ lb of BBQ chicken and the 5-piece leg dinner paired with hush puppies, mac & cheese, potato salad, and baked beans.

BBQ Chicken tasted smoky and tender. No dry bites here. The sauce? Bold and tangy with a slight heat.

The chicken legs were juicy and flavorful.

Mac & Cheese: Creamy but not too cheesy.

Potato Salad: Perfectly creamy and balanced with a hint of mustard and crunch from celery.

Baked Beans: Sweet, smoky, and slightly peppery. You can taste the simmered-in flavor, not the canned shortcut.

Hush Puppies: Golden nuggets of joy. Crisp outside, soft and airy inside, with a slight sweetness that pairs well with the BBQ.

M&M BBQ is hearty and deeply satisfying. The portions are generous, the flavor is bold, and it’s clear they know their way...

Have gone here 4 happy years after a friend was wonderful to recommend them and we have loved it so much we had many pounds of their pulled pork at our wedding (which all of our guests raved about). The Loaded Fries (large) are always loaded with a huge amount of pulled pork more than any wimpy pulled pork sandwich anywhere. We will not set foot in Buddy's, Infamous Dave's or Sonny's. Most other places we've tried in the greater Knoxville area over the years, except for Calhouns & Dead End, are an overpriced and/or pitiful rendition of what great southern BBQ should always be. M&M's appearance may scare away the hipsters or yuppies, but they are the real deal. Try them! Also, everyone there speaks/knows English- don't lay your prejudice on someone with an accent! They always gave us great service, exactly...
