About Bustin’ Butts BBQ

Bustin’ Butts BBQ is a family-owned smokehouse on Newport Highway in Sevierville, operated alongside the 210 Produce market on the same property. The business grew out of a produce stand in Brevard, NC, started by brothers Craig and Brent, and expanded into a full BBQ operation with two Tennessee locations, mobile food trucks, and a catering program.

The property is set up around large outdoor smokers, with covered picnic-style seating and the produce market running alongside the BBQ counter. The format is counter-order with quick service. All meats are prepared with a dry rub and BBQ sauce is served on the side.

The menu covers pulled pork, whole or half chicken, brisket, spare ribs, smoked wings, and jumbo turkey legs. Platters come with two sides, a roll, and a drink. Sides include smoked mac and cheese, smoked baked beans, smoked green beans with pulled pork, mashed potatoes, potato salad, and coleslaw. Specialty loaded potatoes, layered bowl items, and mac nachos are also on the menu.

Why Choose Bustin’ Butts BBQ

Bustin’ Butts holds a specific place in the Sevierville BBQ lineup. The roadside setup, large on-site smokers, and by-the-pound meat options make it practical for everything from a solo meal to a group takeout run.

• Smoked on-site, dry rub preparation. Meats are smoked on the property itself and served with BBQ sauce on the side rather than pre-sauced, leaving the finishing in your hands.
• Whole and half portions by the pound. Beyond standard platters, pulled pork, brisket, whole chickens, and slab of ribs are sold by the pound, making this a practical stop for groups or anyone stocking up for a cabin meal.
• Specialty loaded items beyond standard BBQ. The Boss Hog Tater, Bustin Butt Bowl, Bustin Sundae, and Bustin Mac Nachos extend the menu well past the standard platter format and are among the most-ordered items.
• 210 Produce market on the same property. The adjacent produce stand carries fresh, local, and seasonal goods alongside jarred preserves, jellies, and jams. A BBQ stop can double as a produce run.
• Delivery via DoorDash and UberEats. Online ordering for takeout available directly through bustinbutts210produce.com.
• Family packs available for groups, covering whole chicken, slab of ribs, pound of pork, and pound of brisket options with sides and rolls.

Menu Favorites

The pulled pork, brisket, and specialty loaded items are the main draws. The smoked sides, particularly the mac and cheese and baked beans, earn strong mentions in reviews and are worth ordering alongside any platter.

• Pulled Pork Platter. The signature order. Tender pulled pork served with two sides, a roll, and a drink. The item the restaurant is most recognized for.
• Brisket Platter. Fall-apart brisket with two sides, a roll, and a drink. Also available as a sandwich or by the pound for larger orders.
• Rib Platter. Spare ribs served as three bones or a half slab, with two sides, roll, and drink. Full slabs available by the pound separately.
• Turkey Leg Platter. A jumbo turkey leg with two sides, roll, and drink. A hearty single-protein option with a strong value-to-size ratio.
• Smoked Wings Platter. Five or ten smoked wings with two sides, roll, and drink. A solid alternative for visitors who want smoked protein without committing to a pulled pork or brisket plate.
• Boss Hog Tater. A loaded baked potato with pulled pork, butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, and BBQ sauce. One of the most-ordered individual items on the menu.
• Beef Back Tater. The brisket version of the loaded potato, same toppings as the Boss Hog Tater with brisket substituted for pulled pork.
• Smackin Mackin Tater. A smoked potato loaded with butter, sour cream, shredded cheese, smoked mac and cheese, pulled pork, and BBQ sauce. A step up from the standard loaded potato.
