You just can’t beat a BBQ/HAMBURGER joint that’s been around since 1946 and only had three owners up until now! Located in the Ooltewah/Collegedale TN area with all the history and great food you could want!

Great barbecue. Good service. I love the place. My girlfriend introduced me to Couch’s BBQ in 2014. Been a favorite place of mine. Barbecue plate I had was really good. Usually I’m to full for dessert. Thinking next time I am trying desert. Lots of pies that looked really good. The Coconut creme pie looked really good. Heard someone comment how good it was. Next time barbecue and save room for a piece of coconut creme pie for me.

This was a let down. The BBQ plates are overpriced for what it is. The BBQ prok was ok. The fried okra was the best thing on the plate. The fries were good, but the green beans tasted like they were from a school lunch. So, the fried okra & sweet tea were the best things there. To feed my family of four, it was close to $50.00 & definitely not worth it. Needless to say, we won’t be going back anytime soon.

This is one of the best restaurants I’ve been in my life! The food is so good and staff so friendly and warm, they make you feel home. The BBQ sandwich was good, but the smoked potato with brisket is out of this world. Definitely coming back and trying everything on their menu lol

Casual country BBQ. Ate lunch here with my parents while on a visit. Unassuming atmosphere with some historic nostalgia. I had a garden salad with BBQ chicken on top. Very tasty and refreshing. A wide variety of pies available. Friendly staff. Clean restroom. Reasonably priced.

Portions on the small side and my chopped pork was very dry and had that reheated tast. I was very disappointed as I thought with all the magazine and news paper articles on the wall that it would be great BBQ. Maybe I went on an off day. Too bad

I ate here years ago and the food is still great a very long time business. I had the bacon cheeseburger and fries today while my guest had the pork stuffed baked potato who said it was very good as well. The service was very good and nice to speak with too. A great little family restaurant at a great price. Thanks Couches BBQ and staff..

Awesome southern dive with a back in time feel! Amazing food!! Reasonably priced, great service! Authentic BBQ smoked in the on premises smoke house. I’m in love with the BBQ sandwich for $4.75 and crispy crinkle cut fries. Homemade potato salad, Homemade coconut and chocolate pies with mile high meringue. I recently started working close by and I can’t wait to try everything on the menu.

When a 60+ year old man tells me it’s the best BBQ he’s had in his life- there is only one reasonable option for a late lunch.
