The entire team at Phil’s are phenomenal and their BBQ is some of the best if not THE best in the TRI. If you haven’t tried Phil’s go see Brian and the gang and give it a try.

One of a kind bbq that you simply won't find anywhere else. These talented grillmasters cook everything as close to perfection as it gets.

I have been there 4 times and I've loved everything I have gotten from there. I'm hooked on the brisket. It's 🔥

They make awesome barbecue and they know how to do it right. Their banana pudding is true banana pudding. I would highly recommend them and if they cater I think you would be happy. They also give a 10% military discount. I like spending my money here. The owner of Phil's takes great pride in his business.. It is clear beyond a doubt.

Traveled from Knoxville for business and saw this on my maps. Great food and environment. Everything was cooked to perfection and staff was very friendly if I had questions.
