If there’s one thing we know, it’s that Tennesseans love their barbecue. Even the most unassuming mom-and-pop joints in the most unassuming town will serve the best pork shoulder you’ve ever had in your life, but there’s one spot in Chattanooga that has perfected the rib. Catering to the barbecue purists of the world, this spot has also been recognized as one of the top barbecue spots in the nation, but you’d never know it from driving by. Have you ever had the best ribs in the state?
Sugar's Ribs in Chattanooga exists to serve the barbecue purists of the world. Their meats are smoked to perfection, and their views aren't bad either.
You can enjoy the views from their covered porch on the backside of the restaurant, but just don't let the goats eat your ribs (more on the goats later).

Sugar's smokes spareribs, not baby back ribs, making them nice and juicy inside while staying crispy on the outside. They're always smoked, never boiled, so you know you're going to be getting great ribs every time.
Seriously, we could look at these things for days (and possibly eat them for longer).
Sugar's even makes their own sauces. You can dip with them, pour them on the ribs, or even drink them straight from the bottle. Just kidding - don't do that last one.
See? We told you there were goats. Sugar's is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and they stay open an extra hour later on Fridays and Saturdays. Visit them, the goats, and the delicious ribs in Chattanooga at 2450 15th Avenue.
For something truly Tennessee, you need to visit this one-of-a-kind small town.
