Big John's Bar-B-Q | Tennessee Crossroads | Episode 2805.1

[@obtainiumgaming4472]

My aunt Linda worked there in the late 70s. Used to eat there as a kid. Feels so good to see it still in business. This is what America is about. Not the Walmart’s of the world.

The pulled pork looks amazing! 😮

This place is now under new ownership. It’s called Legends Express, which is also a barbecue place. Very good food.

[@sheryljones5207]

Looks so good would love to come try it out someday.

[@CookiePrince52]

I live in Lawrenceburg, TN, so I get to see Big John's pretty often. Their barbecue's very good. In fact, I've had it for my last two birthday dinners! ^_^

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Why did it close?

[@jameslawrence9756]

It is a shame that's gone...was some of the BEST barbeque for miles and miles around...so sad that it's no longer there....

[@bradcurrie6706]

I'd definitely eat there Looks awesome

[@dcbornmike]

will have to check out this place in April on my first trip down to Jamestown Tn area to visit the Sgt York museum. Looks like its wroth driving a bit further south to try this bbq in Crossville Tn. Their baked beans look so good!

[@thomashumphrey7395]

Makes me want a BBQ w/slaw, some baked beans, and a Coke (or Pepsi) w/crushed ice.

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Why did it close?

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

I did a little Google investigation to learn that the restaurant was burglarized two times in March 2020 so I'm guessing between covid-19, the decrease in business, and the burglaries the owner just gave up. Remember in the video she spoke about a major road moving business in a different direction

[@kj12624]

They sold the business

[@msp507]

The caption reads closed is that forever or for the season ?

[@TruckTaxiMoveIt]

Very likely permanent I can't see the producers of the video trying to keep up with the day-to-day or season to season opening and closings of all of the businesses they featured over the years One of the main reasons for featuring the business is to draw business to the business so the responsible thing to do would be to update the video as they have in the caption to let people know that the business is no longer in business when they find out that they have closed

[@martysims5009]

Happy to say it's still going strong even the pandemic can't keep a good thing down .

[@alansmlth7989]

Only pulled Pork? No Pork Steaks, or Ribs,

[@tubetime39]

No worries.

[@juanitataylor6947]

Bet you don't go away from their hungry

[@vernwallen4246]

I went too Tennessee once and it was closed!! I never went back!!

[@stevethecountrycook1227]

Vern! why didn;t you go back? Must have went to the country! Country folks have to get up early, say bout 4:30. I did that for over 30 years as a school bus mechanic! Farmers, Bakers, Welders, Grocery store owners, the list is endless of folks getting up early and keepin this country going ! Oh, I'am in Southern Illinois! And I pray for Illinois cause we have had some bad Governing in the past! I'am in love with the lady at the counter! She is Fantastic! A Happy man she has! God Bless.
