Bustin' Butts BBQ/210 Produce
Sevierville • Restaurant
This authentic BBQ spot has earned a devoted following for meat that's smoked low and slow—the 24-hour brisket literally melts in your mouth, and ribs fall right off the bone. The owner's personal touch stands out, often greeting guests himself and checking on tables. It's a rustic, no-frills setup with pavilion seating, but visitors rave that the outstanding food and genuine Southern hospitality more than make up for the casual digs. One diner felt the burger was overpriced for the size, though
