General Lee's Bbq - Cookeville

The smoked turkey leg, baked beans, and potato wedges were absolutely fantastic!

Once you’re in, you can enjoy a variety of smoked BBQ options, including chicken (wings, leg quarters, and breast), ribs, brisket, beef ribs, sausages, and more. We particularly enjoy the ribs and brisket, but the chicken is absolutely outstanding! I frequently travel this route and always make a point to stop and grab some BBQ to take home, no matter which way I’m headed. It tastes just as good, if not better, as leftovers the next day, so definitely stock up when you visit! Although I’ve only tried the BBQ, I can highly recommend it!

I had a pleasant experience at this BBQ restaurant. I tried the brisket, pork chop, and bologna, and they were all quite tasty. The owner and his staff were very friendly, which added to the positive vibe. I also found the prices to be very reasonable—two three-meat plates with two sides for under $25! I would definitely return.

This is some fantastic BBQ if you're okay with eating on the go, as there's nowhere to sit down—it's just a gas station/convenience store. I didn't notice any signs, so just look for the old, rundown truck stop with a large smoker out front. We tried the brisket sandwich, hamburger, and pork chop. The hamburger was the standout! It was thick, tender, and had a wonderful smoky flavor; my boys went in for seconds. The smoked pork chop was delicious as well. The brisket was decent, but as a Texan, I believe we do brisket better than anyone else!

Oh my goodness, this is truly the best burger I have ever had! I can't emphasize enough: don't judge a book by its cover. The burger was thick and packed with flavor, perfectly smoked. I almost broke my diet because one just wasn’t enough—I had to go back for more! It's a shame we can only give a maximum of 5 stars; otherwise, I would have given this place a 10!
