If you're wandering the streets of Nashville or cruising through Middle Tennessee and suddenly catch the irresistible aroma of slow-smoked hickory and mesquite, you're in luck. You've just found Smokin' Buttz BBQ.
Since 2014, our husband-and-wife team, John and Mylica Cathey, have been on a mission to bring high-quality, mouth-watering BBQ to our community at a price that treats families right.
The story behind the smoke
Pitmaster John Cathey didn't just stumble into the BBQ world. His passion for cooking started as a child, learning the ropes while working in his family's soul food restaurant. After years of perfecting his craft and smoking meats on the weekends, John took a massive leap of faith in 2016 — leaving a full-time IT job to run Smokin' Buttz full-time.
Must-try menu items at the Buttz Truck
The Hickory: our classic pulled pork sandwich, smoked over hickory wood for hours, piled high on a fresh-baked bun. The Mesquite: pulled chicken smoked over mesquite for a deep, earthy flavor. The Gut Buster: officially recognized as a Music City Must by News Channel 5 — pulled pork or chicken loaded with nacho cheese, jalapeños and BBQ sauce. Overloaded Nachos: a massive bed of tortilla chips with your choice of meat, nacho cheese, pico de gallo, jalapeños and sour cream.
Bring the flavor home
You asked, and we delivered. After constantly receiving rave reviews about the flavor profiles at the truck, John went back into the kitchen to bottle up the magic. Big Jr's Buttz Sauce, Hot Buttz Sauce and the fan-favorite Smokin' White Sauce are available to order straight from our online store.
