Driving around Kingsport, Johnson City or Bristol TN looking for the best bbq you can find? Phil’s Dream Pit should be where you end up. Equal distance from the three cities, Johnson City, Bristol and Kingsport TN, Phil’s Dream Pit offers great bbq, awesome side dishes and sweet Southern hospitality, all with easy access to I-26 and I-81.
Phil’s Dream Pit prepares their bbq fresh every day with a consistency that is hard to beat in the bbq world. The pulled pork is smoky, tender and juicy. Sliced beef brisket has a nice smoke ring, is also juicy and tender without being chewy or tough. The baby back bbq ribs are extra meaty, not fatty, with a nice smoke flavor, The smoke, seasoning and sauce on the sweet ribs come together for a symphony on the taste buds. The dry rub ribs are a classic Memphis style, with just enough kick. Phil also offers either half a chicken on the bone or a boneless skinless breast that he smokes with his dry rub on it. Both tender, juicy and smoky flavored. Smoked turkey breast is also on the menu, as are all beef hot dogs, smoked sausage and a jalapeno cheddar sausage. A special meat that Phil offers is called a pork wing. Cut off below the shank end of the ham, this meat is exceptionally tender and soaks up the hickory smoke well.

While the meat is the most important factor in a bbq restaurant decision, you still need good sides. Phil’s Dream Pit baked beans could be a meal in themselves. Generous amounts of Phil’s pulled pork coupled with the sweetness of the beans, make them amazing. Fresh creamy cole slaw, potato and macaroni salad like mom used to make, and hashbrown casserole round out the side options.

So your meal has arrived at your table, now the question: to sauce or not to sauce? Phil believes his meats are tasty enough on their own, but sauces are nice too.
