Hitz BBQ serves a full range of
smoked meat.
Jess and Adam Streich ate at
Hitz for the first time on a road
trip from Knoxville to Ohio. They
found it on-line when looking for
something different.
scribes it as crispy on the outside with juicy, creamy fat
inside.
Diners choose from a variety of home crafted sauces
with flavors reminiscent of his barbecue travels.
Alongside his Kentucky Sweet are spicier options and
a honey mustard. His vinegar sauce is reminiscent of
Carolina versions, but with a dash of Ale-8-1.
Other downhome favorites include hand-battered
chicken tenders, fried catfish and a new hamburger op-
tion. Most meats come as a sandwich on a brioche bun
with a side or a platter with two sides and a hoe cake,
a griddle fried cornbread. Kids’ meals run about $5
with adult sandwiches at $7 and platters around $10.
While Webb’s passion is the barbecue, the sides are
delectable in their own right. Of course there are fries,
plus onion rings and braised greens. The slaw and pit
beans are both from his mother’s recipes. He has de-
veloped a unique, creamy macaroni and cheese recipe.
Webb will not reveal the particular mélange of cheeses
but said he is astounded with how popular it is.
Webb admits that the Hitz location off of I-75 is jok-
ingly considered cursed by some locals, due to the high
restaurant turnover in the past few years. But with
handcrafted, downhome food, a knack for the art of
smoking meat and a growing fan base, Webb and his
crew are well on their way to breaking that curse for
good.

ily pack special includes pulled pork, buns and two

The smoking at Hitz is long and
slow and uses 100% hickory
wood.
