Martin's BBQ Joint - NOLENSVILLE

BBQ is one of my favorite meals. I've had a lot of it in my day. I always enjoy it, but none have come close to Martin's. The workers are friendly and it has a fun atmosphere. The meat smoker is in the middle of the restaurant for everyone to see. The brisket is out of this world. The ribs are some of the best I've had. The meat is always freshly smoked. Sides are pretty good, but the meat is the star here. I 10/10 recommend Martin's.

I'm a BBQ snob and my taste leans heavily towards Carolina style, vinegary Q. I was very satisfied with Martin's. Everything from the ambiance, the meat, sauces, and sides hit high marks in my book. Excellent operation and I will be back for more on my next Nashville trip

Went to the one on 4th Ave. Wonderful rustic atmosphere. Very well decorated and has a classic Nashville feel to it. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with hush puppies and mac and cheese and was very happy with my meal. Great place and will definitely return on my next visit.

We arrived just after 6:00 pm on a Thursday evening and the line was long, took us 15 minutes just to get up to the only order window.  We had looked at the menu ahead of time and had decided what we wanted.  The order taker tells us that they are out of pork and some sides.  ?? At 6:15 on a week night?  They say on the menu that since everything is made fresh every day that they CAN run out of some items.  I wanted beef brisket plate with two sides and my wife wanted pork, but settled for turkey.   The food came to our table fairly quickly. My green beans had a lot of black pepper, the slaw was good, and my wife had potato salad and broccoli salad. All the sides were good.  Each plate comes with two slices of plain bread, not toasted, not buttered or anything, just plain. (Never heard of Texas Toast?) All the food is good here, but my complaint is that their success must have caused them to raise prices.  THE MENU PICTURED HERE ON ZOMATO IS OUT OF DATE.  Beef Brisket tray is now $15 and the turkey tray is $14.   Martin's prices seem high for what you get.  Our total bill (including 1 drink and tip) was $39.00.   While we were eating, we discussed that we probably could have gotten the same meal for less at Jim n' Nick's.  I just looked up our last trip to them and the bill included 2 drinks +tip and was around $33.00
