My name is Chris Dodge and I live right here in the great state of Tennessee. My family and I are full adventurers filled with passion to see the amazing things our state has to offer. We are avid hikers and have explored many different places in Tennessee and beyond but we are always thankful to be living in such a glorious state.
Mike Tyson was famously quoted as saying “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”. It is a wise sentiment but unless you’re a boxer chances are you’re not in danger of getting hit in the face on a normal day. But Haymaker BBQ in Harrogate Tennessee comes out with a mean right hook that blew a shot to this small community they won’t soon forget. They might not beat you up per se but their BBQ is certainly kick butt.
Way up in Harrogate in a small town just south of the Kentucky border it’s not just the Cumberland Gap that's drawing in people. Haymaker BBQ opened its doors and has been a successful hit in the community. A cozy dine-in place with a covered porch seems perfectly in place in Tennessee but that's not the only thing bringing in the crowds.
BBQ is meant to gather people together and that is exactly what has happened at this heaven for the meats. Family gatherings, birthday parties, and sports teams congregate for some of the best smoked meats in town. You can even rent out the entire front porch for events and what better way to celebrate?
Tender smoky brisket stacked high on a tray is a glorious site that brings a tear to my eye. You can order meat in bulk or even have Haymaker cater your next event like a wedding or office party.
The menu is filled with interesting Tennessee classics like this smoked bologna sandwich with their very own signature glaze. No matter what you order you will leave full and satisfied.
Haymaker BBQ in Harrogate Tennessee, is one of those great examples of a successful business that takes their time to smoke their meats just right. With authentic BBQ you can really taste the difference. Pair that with a friendly staff and you have a winner in the ring of other local restaurants.
