Central BBQ

Best BBQ in Memphis . Don't believe the hype about a certain other place that you might want to rendezvous with friends. This place is better hands down.

Awesome BBQ all around from Ribs to Brisket and Pork ! Having all of the regional sauces available is phenomenal! Huge and spacious with a good local beer selection ! The service was fast and courteous!

Great BBQ ! Go with ribs half and half (half dry/half wet). Best ribs in Memphis.

Best BBQ in Memphis ! My favorites are beef brisket sandwich , smoked hot wings naked, potatoes salad , and of course, the smoked ribs slab, try half(dry) & half(wet). Good local beer selections !

I got a rib plate with bbq beans and homemade chips . The ribs are fall off the bone good but I wasn’t that wild about the sauce. But the beans are some of the best I’ve ever had. Chips weren’t great.

Great place to fill up after visiting the National Civil Rights Museum . Good for live music and most important of all-Award Winning BBQ !

Plate with brisket , chicken and chopped pork , potato salad and greens. OMG!! Sooooo good! Get in here, people! Stop in after you see the National Civil Rights Museum . It's across the street!!

Staff was friendly and funny! Food was fanstatic! The ribs are fall off the bone good. Green beans and potato salad were our favorite sides.

Thrillist Top BBQ List: ...outdoor deck ... loin back ribs are rubbed w/their special rib rub, marinated overnight, and slow smoked. Get the house-made potato chips w/chunky bleu cheese dressing

Tasty pulled pork sandwiches and ribs . Crowded and noisy but spacious . Great place to taste the local Memphis food

Sooo good! And the turkey salad is exceptional! One of the best I've had. And don't miss the Peanut Butter Pie !

Don't be discouraged if long waiting line to/out the door. They r incredibly efficient @ getting u n & seated for some great BBQ . I've historically been an Interstate BBQ fan but this is my new fav!

The greens were bland, but with vinegar sauce are good. The wings were better than the ribs , surprisingly. The mac, Cole slaw , and potato salad were all wonderful.

My new favorite BBQ joint in Memphis. The staff is beyond incredible and made the experience twice as enjoyable. They're doing everything right at Central BBQ.

Delicious ribs (my favorite in Memphis) and a big selection of local craft beers . Talk to the guy serving the beers about them, he knows a lot!

This is in my top two BBQ joints Memphis. Try the "Combo plate with ribs " to get a good taste of what they do.

After taking a tour of the National Civil Rights Museum just hop on over to Central BBQ for some of the best fall off the bone smoked meats .

The wings are some if the best I've ever had! Good selection in beers . Great onion rings .

I know Memphis is known for bbq but dang this place was tasty! 10/10 for entertainment, food and service.

After taking a tour of the National Civil Rights Museum , just hop on over to Central BBQ for some of the best fall-off-the-bone smoked meats .

This was an experience trying dry rub BBQ sauce on ribs . It was truly good no it was beyond good. It was Mmmmmmmmm delicious.

Great barbecue - not fancy , not oversauced, just tender and tasty. Real banana pudding . Good selection local tap beer .

2nd best of the bunch. Be careful parking at the museum during the day. Get the nachos with their housemade chips

Beef brisket and ribs were super yummy! Friendly staff and a convenient location! Definitely worth the stop!

Delicious dry rub ribs , dare to say the best I’ve ever had. Sides are great too.

Ribs are addictive. Excellent sausage too. Coleslaw and beans slideswere underwhelming.

Well deserved to be one of Memphis’s best BBQ joints ! Food was delicious, fast and staff were friendly ????

Dry rub ribs all day with a dash of the house seasoning. Also try the bbq bologna sandwich for something unique to Central

2 people can easily split a full rack of ribs . Get 1/2 wet and 1/2 dry rub . Mac and cheese was awesome

I'm a vegetarian...and I ate the chicken . It's THAT good. Run here as fast as your legs will carry you and then waddle away happy.

Amazing taste, THE BBQ in Memphis ..pulled pork was great!

Very tender pulled pork bbq . All sauces were excellent as well . I would definitely go back.

The greens were bland, but with vinegar sauce are good. The unsweetened tea was sweet; the sweetened tea was practically syrup . The wings were better than the ribs , surprisingly.

Best barbecue in Memphis hands down, the beef brisket is definitely my favorite at this joint.

If it's your first time here, come with friends, spend $30 and share the combo plate and a half-slab of half-n-half (wet & dry) ribs .

Ribs and Mac and cheese along with the sauces. The brisket was a little on the lean side

Best BBQ Ever!!!!! Brisket is the ISH and super fast service

Try the Ghost River beer with a slab of ribs and some onion rings . Be sure to bring your friends and your appetite!

Killer pulled pork , highly recommend!!!

order the half dry/ half wet ribs with a side of pulled pork and spend the rest of your day smiling

The Ribs !!!!!! They are amazing. I have eaten a lot of ribs and incredible

Pulled pork was outstanding! Beans are great, but spicy . Highly recommend!

Being from Texas hard to say anybody elses BBQ is good. Central does a damn good job

Life is great at this place

Wings and mac are the best. So is the service. Ribs are ok.

Everything- pulled pork , ribs , slaw , beans, spaghetti

Barbecue Nachos are out if this world!

A little bit dry for my taste, but it worth the experience.

Smoked turkey salad was more turkey than salad !

Good ribs and pulled pork . My favorite bbq sauce in memphis!
