The food here is delicious, especially the brisket. The sides are very good, and it is worth every penny! The staff are very helpful and pleasant. The rib eye steaks from the meat counter and the brisket burgers are my favorites to take home and grill.
Growing up I always thought of pulled pork when I thought of barbecue. A friend took me to Shaffer's and I had the brisket. Personally it's the best barbecue I've ever had and I've eaten there several times since. I don't go through that area often, but definitely stop here every time I do!! It's also been featured on Tennessee Crossroads.
Schaffer's Texas BBQ and Meats has awesome food!!! They offer Brisket, Turkey, chicken and pork with sampler plates and vegetable. We rode over on motorcycles but wished we had went in Truck so we could have taken a cooler to buy from the meat market! The white BBQ sauce is to die for!! I did buy a jar of it and took home. Great "out of the way and little mom and pop store and restaurant". Beautiful scenery to ride thru on bike or vehicle if you take the back roads. Will definitely go again and take a cooler. VERY clean and professional + downhome friendly!!!
The absolute BEST BBQ in Middle Tennessee!. The brisket here is amazing! Better than any of the BBQ spots in M'boro or Nashville that I have eaten at. Even better than two of my favorite St Louis based BBQ places. The prices are affordable ( I fed three grownups for exactly $30 with drinks) The meat market in the front has a great selection at reasonable prices. If I lived closer I'd eat here regularly! I really want to try the Nachos they serve during the week.
Brisket was very good. Definitely worth the drive to Summertown.
Love that Beef Brisket. The food here is really good, 9 out of 10 on Beef Brisket. 3 kinds of slaw, too.
Unexpected flavor of Texas in Tennessee. Had a great local recommendation. Glad we went.
Good Laud, Good Eating!. The most reasonable prices for the best meat in this area. I bought the Shaffer season chicken. You don't have to add any thing it is well seasoned. It made the best chicken and rice. Their steaks cook up tender and juicey. The country sausages are good for breakfast lunch and dinner. Yes I have eaten them at all three meal. The people are very nice. One of the butchers is a little quiet and observant, but he is alright when he sees that you are alright. Check this place out. I won't get my meat any where else!
A must drive from anywhere!!! You will not be disappointed. Past Ethridge, Tenn on hwy. 43 Summertown,Tenn. my husband and I was looking for a place to eat because we dont do fast foods. Stopped to shop at amish country galleries in Ethridge and ask the owner about a good place to eat and he suggested Shaffer Farms. My husband had the large brisket sandwich and I had the small. Sides were "everything homemade", potatoes and baked beans with sweet tea to drink. Very generous portions, you will not leave hungry for sure!! I bought 2 small pies (pecan and fudge). So full I took them home to eat later. On the way out I purchased salt cured and smoked fresh bacon and sausage. Can't wait to cook. This place is Awesome! Will definitely make the hour and half trip back!!!! They are open Mon - Sat 10-6.
Try it, you'll like it!. If you haven't stopped by Shaffer's you're missing a great meal. Wonderful ribs, beef brisket, pulledpork and side dishes. I was raised on pulled pork and never thought much about brisket until I had Shaffer's. Best I ever had, tender, smokey, no sauce needed but its there if you want it. If you leave Shaffer's hungry, its your own fault, portions are more than generous.
