Best Brisket I have ever had and trust me I have tried many different ones!!! Cooked to perfection and I personally like the spicy sauce! Also you can get it vacuum sealed and it will last in your freezer! More...

Our first visit to the Smokey Mts. for 4th of July celebration was a huge success thanks to Shortstop BBQ. Woody and Stephanie are the consummate professionals who provide delicious, creative cuisine and serve it up with such enthusiasm that it made our party more fun than one could imagine. Rates are reasonable for such a quality product. Our Southern barbecue delivered. From my first contact with Woody to plan the party, till they walked out door, was so positive. I cannot recommend this company more highly. They will not disappoint! More...

Shortstop BBQ was an absolute highlight of our event, delivering an unforgettable taste of true Tennessee barbecue that left everyone raving. From start to finish, Woody and his team were exceptional—professional, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our meal one to remember. Woody was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to understand our needs, offered helpful suggestions, and stayed in close communication every step of the way. His commitment to quality and service was evident not only in the planning but in every bite of the food. And the food—wow. The ribs, pulled pork, and chicken were tender and flavorful and paired perfectly with some outstanding sides and homemade sauces that captured the essence of East Tennessee BBQ. Everything was served hot, fresh, and full of that down-home flavor that made guests go back for seconds (and thirds). But what really stole the show were the homemade desserts—especially the chocolate chip cookies. Shortstop BBQ didn’t just cater our event—they brought a sense of local pride and Southern hospitality that helped make the whole day feel more special. If you want a caterer who delivers outstanding food with top-tier service, look no further. We can’t recommend them highly enough! More...

Having the Brunswick Stew for the Georgia/Tennessee game made it more bareable. A great meal on a cold night. Be sure and check them out. Can’t wait to try the turkey for Thanksgiving. And on top of it they have delicious desserts which we finished off quickly. More...

My husband and I had the Brunswick Stew for the FIRST time ever last night for dinner ~ We are from the east coast so never heard of this before ? It was so DELICIOUS 😋 When I met my Steve in 1993 he told me that there were only 2 things he will not eat, liver and lima beans so I never cooked those things for him ~ I did not realize there were lima beans in it when I ordered !! He LoVED the meal, had 2 servings and eat every bite ! It is $16 per quart which fed us VERY nicely with another good size portion for today ~~ Can’t wait to try your other menu items including some of those desserts 🧁 More...

Shortstop BBQ provided services for our 45th year Class Reunion. Woody and his staff provided friendly and curious service while serving us at our event. The process of scheduling, planning the menu, time of serving, quality of the food, was outstanding. I had in mind a simple menu that I envisioned and Woody took it and presented options and price that were perfect. We went with just a simple meat/2, meat/3 with dessert type plan and Shortstop provided. The Pulled Pork was awesome, and our side choices were Mac/Cheese, Baked Beans, and Pit Taters with all having his own special style. Shortstop went above and beyond for me and made the chore of planning a meal, a piece of cake… which I recommend also!! At the end of the day, you got a good friend too! Thanks Woody! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (my own rating of 5 out of 5) More...

I love the variety of food and the amazing taste of their bbq! I brought home a Chicken Pit Pack and served it during the ballgame today with their sweet bbq sauce. Best bbq ever! I thought the bbq couldn’t be topped until I tried their desserts. They are a must have! More...

Woody was very accommodating and helpful! Every other catering option I've looked in to didn't have the option of sides I wanted for my gluten-free guests without drastically increasing the price. And with the possibility of my wedding date changing, Woody was also very flexible. I also love the payment options he offered me. If the food and catering service are half as good as working with Woody has been so far, this will be the wedding we're dreaming of. More...
