Bustin' Butts BBQ/210 Produce

We've stopped here more times than I can count on our way through Sevierville, and it's become one of those places where you know exactly what you're getting — solid BBQ and the freshest produce you'll find on Newport Highway. The brisket gets smoked for 24 hours, and yeah, it shows in every bite. What makes this spot different is the combo setup — while you're waiting for your pulled pork sandwich, you can grab local honey, homemade jams, or whatever vegetables are in season from their produce stand.

The owner usually greets people in the parking lot and offers samples, which is how we first tried their house mac and cheese. It's become our go-to side now. Fair warning though — this is all outdoor seating under a covered pavilion with gravel floors, so don't come in your nice shoes or when it's pouring rain.

Their loaded options are huge. The Bustin Sundae sounds weird (mashed potatoes topped with smoked mac, baked beans, and your choice of meat) but it's basically comfort food heaven for $13.99. Same with the Smackin Mackin Tater — it's a smoked potato loaded with everything including pulled pork and house sauce.

Drive-thru is your friend here if the weather's not cooperating or you're in a hurry. They're fast — usually under 2 minutes from order to food in hand. We've done this plenty of times when we just want their brisket to take back to our cabin. The produce side opens earlier at 8:30am if you want first pick of the fresh stuff before they fire up the smokers at 10am.
