Food Near the Caney Fork River
Looking for food near the Caney Fork River? Look no further! The Caney River Tavern is open on weekends and holidays throughout the summer. It is a local legend for its Famous Jay’s mouth-watering, hickory smoked BBQ.
We serve up tender, moist, lean pulled pork that has been slow-smoked for 10 hours over fragrant hickory chips, with just the right amount of crunchy charred edges. We then pair it with our secret family recipe of smooth, flavorful sauce lightly seasoned with brown sugar, paprika, and island spices – sure to tickle your taste buds! Let the flavor linger long enough – is there a hint of Captain Morgan’s to spice it up? Arrrghhhhh. We’re not telling!
Our loaded BBQ Nachos are legendary – layered with crispy tortilla chips, smothered with nacho cheese, pulled pork, crema, bbq sauce, and jalapenos for the toughest mates – your taste buds will dance the jig.
Many people come to the Caney loooking for treasure, but the ones in the know come for the BBQ.
After your fun-filled day of paddling, swing by and join us for some delicious BBQ that will make you think you’ve paddled to the Mississippi! Even if you just happen to be driving by and you’re near the Caney Fork River, our food is worth the slight detour!
