This was our first trip to Nashville. We wanted good BBQ that was open later than most. Martin's fit the bill. We stood in line for 25 minutes to order, the place was packed. My husband and I split a combo meal. We shared four baby back ribs, a six-ounce serving of smoked brisket and two sides. They have a nice choice of sides. We got hush puppies, green beans and baked beans (we got one extra side). The brisket was tender and juicy, cutting it with a fork. The ribs were fall off the bone perfect. The baked beans were sweety with a hint of spiciness at the finish. The green beans (with white onions and pork) were satisfactory but nothing outstanding. The only truly disappointing item we ordered was the hush puppies. A flavorless ball of batter dropped into the deep frier until it was chestnut brown. Not much corn flower in that batter or seasoning. Disappointing after all of the other great items, but we didn't go to Martin's for the sides. Would love to go back next time we're in town.
