Ashlee S - TripAdvisor Heavy’s isn’t easy to get to – it’s about an hour and fifteen minutes north of Knoxville down a quiet, skinny country road. But the pilgrimage is so worth it.
Suberoskidd - TripAdvisor The decor is definitely unique at Heavy’s. The walls are covered with dollar bills and taxidermy.
Ashlee S - TripAdvisor The menu shows all of the Southern barbecue classics that you’d expect, but it doesn’t show one other thing that Heavy’s offers. You can rent canoes and go up and down the stream that’s right outside their back door.
