Come hungry
Smoke worth showing up for.
Start with slow-smoked meats, add the sides, grab something cold, and build the kind of barbecue tray that makes the table go quiet for a minute.
St. Louis ribs
Smoky, seasoned, and tender without falling apart before you get a bite.
Pulled pork
Juicy, smoky pork piled onto trays or sandwiches—exactly where it belongs.
Scruffy sandwiches
Smoked meat, good bread, and enough going on to make you want another one.
House sides
Made from scratch and built to earn their place next to the meat.
What to expect
Proper smoke. Scruffy spirit.
Serious about the food
The smoke, bark, tenderness, seasoning, and the bite all have to be right.
Built for real service
Come for lunch, stay for a beer, grab dinner to go, or bring the whole crew.
Knoxville through and through
Made for Happy Holler, North Central, and Knoxville's proudly scruffy character.
Straightforward hospitality
Order at the counter, find your spot, crack open something cold, and make yourself comfortable.

Happy Holler
Barbecue tastes better when you want to hang around.

Stay awhile
Bring friends. Bring an appetite.
Good barbecue should work for a quick lunch, a long table, a cold beer after work, or a Saturday that turns into an evening.
Trays made for sharing.
Order a spread of smoked meats and sides, pass it around, and figure out what you are getting more of next.
Cold drinks. No ceremony.
Pair the barbecue with something cold and settle into Happy Holler for as long as the table wants to stay.
Feed a crowd
Make the food the easy part.
Office lunch, backyard party, rehearsal dinner, wedding, or one seriously hungry group. Tell us how many people you are feeding and let the barbecue do the work.
