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 sprinkled 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.

West Tennessee’s legendary whole-hog BBQ tradition is the cornerstone of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint. The restaurants have been featured on the Food Network, Travel Channel, Cooking Channel, and The Today Show and in publications such as Bon Appetit, Esquire, Conde Nast Traveler, and Men’s Journal.
Pat Martin learned the art and craft of West Tennessee-style smoke and meat 25 years ago in the tiny town of Henderson, TN before making Nashville his home. It became a consuming passion that eventually led to a business when he opened the first Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint in October of 2006 in Nolensville, Tennessee - just south of Nashville. Today, there are ten Martin’s locations in the Nashville area, Louisville Kentucky, Birmingham Alabama, and our newest location in Charleston South Carolina.
