About Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint

Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint is a beloved local neighborhood restaurant dedicated to authentic pit-cooked barbecue and warm Southern hospitality. The vision of restaurateur and pitmaster Pat Martin, Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint proudly preserves and celebrates the art and craft of West Tennessee's legendary whole-hog BBQ tradition. The entire menu at Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint is scratch-made, every single day - from sides to sauces, and everything in between. The restaurant will celebrate 16 years in October 2022, and is rooted by a commitment to deliver extraordinary experiences for its team, guests, and community. Today, there are ten Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint locations across Nashville, Charleston (SC), Birmingham (AL), and Louisville (KY). Our sibling restaurant, Hugh-Baby's BBQ & Burger Shop, is a tribute to the small town BBQ and Burger joints that dotted the mid-South of Pat Martin's youth. There are currently three Hugh-Baby's locations in Nashville, and a fourth opening in Charleston, SC, in late Fall 2022.
