Listed in Southern Living as theRidgewood's pork is as good as it gets. Hickory-cooked hams are sliced and souped with a tangy, dark-red, slightly smoky sauce (available by the pint and quart near the cash register) and served as a platter, under a heap of terrific dark-gold French fries, or in a giant sandwich that spills out all sides of the bun. South's Finest Barbecue.

The best barbecue you'll ever taste! Be sure to try the blue cheese dip with saltines- it sounds strange but is amazing!

The best barbeque ever!! You cannot leave without trying the pulled pork with slaw on top. Also you need to try the blue cheese dressing on saltines. It sounds crazy, I know, but just roll with it. You'll thank me later.

love this bbq

i love this bbq. this place is owned by some of my family. though i did not find this out till a couple years ago. i love the bbq. but my favorite things are the blue cheese the baked beans and the country ham sandwich. some may think that its wierd to get country ham at a bbq place but its really good. i also love their sweet tea. i highly recommend this place if your a bbq fanatic

Disappointed

Have lived in the Ridgewood area for 50 years. Stopped to get a takeout order on evening of 12/20. Got home and my son's sandwich had charred meat on it and there was charred meat in my bbq beans. My son couldn't even eat all of his sandwich Very disappointing since I have always had good food there. Hope this does not become a habit!

Good grub in the woods

Large servings and a very friendly wait staff. They bring the beans out like they're an appetizer, which is different but good. They also have a blue cheese dip that I've never seen before and eventhough I don't like blue cheese, it's delish!

BEST PLACE IN BLUFF CITY

Ridgewood Barbecue is the best place in Bluff City,Tn to get barbecue if your from out of town and looking for a good barbecue place to go to go here but get there before 7 or 8:00 cause if your not your not going to get in it whoever is in there at that time gets seated and served and the others have to be turned away.

Best we ever had.

We love this BBQ over all other BBQ places that we've been to, and we've been to a lot of them. We go to places like Greensville, Kingsport, Bristol, Johnson City & the like but none equal Ridgewood BBQ, period.

Tennessee's best.

My wife & I have always enjoyed this BBQ restaurant. Even though they don't run ads in the papers or TV, we have always found it to be the tops in fine dinning for BBQ. We had to figure out the best times to go because it's usually too crowded to go if we don't. I bet if they did advertise, they'd not be able to seat everyone noon nor night.

AWESOME

We love this place...the best BBQ in the country as far as we are concerned! Have been dining here for years, and it's remained the best. Hours are limited, space is limited, but well worth the inconveniences. If you go away from here hungry, it is your own fault! Portions are generous and everything we've ever had is delicious. The sauce is absolutely divine. Out of the way, but that adds to the charm. Enjoy!
