KNOXVILLE, TN
KNOXVILLE, TN
Welcome to our quest to find exceptional artisan BBQ. We’ve traveled to the legendary joints in Memphis, down to the beef masters in Texas cattle country, over to the James Beard Award winning pitmasters of coastal South Carolina, up through the backroads of North Carolina, and all the way back home to the mountains of East TN.
Once we experienced the magic created by real “coal whisperers”, we knew there was no way the corporate owned, strip mall BBQ chains back home would ever satisfy our craving so we decided to make the magic happen in Knoxville.
The Smokeyards concept is simple: Seek out the best pitmasters and create unique and different venues where our friends can experience the truly incredible flavors that are created when meat, spice, hardwood, fire, and a lot of time is combined in the hands of a skilled pitmaster. There is no other way!
Our sites are rustic. The food is authentic. This is personal.

Smoked Pickle is hidden gem in Knoxville.
We will share the exciting news about what we have planned once we have the blueprints finalized.
