Papa Turney’s BBQ is a family owned and operated restaurant and venue located on the marina in beautiful Nashville Shores on Percy Priest Lake.
Proudly serving old fashioned hickory smoked bbq, homemade sides, and our famous Mama Turney’s pies, Papa Turney’s is a favorite stop for both locals and tourists. Embracing southern heritage doesn’t stop with the food that is served for the belly, it can also be found in the music that is played for the soul. We nurture music including blues, country western, gospel, southern rock, and folk in their live nightly events.
Legendary live music
