Diners have referred to these nachos as “life-changing,” and with three options of meat for the topping (chicken , beef , or turkey ) chances are you’ll find your life-changing in less than three visits. Read more

Slab for 2 with 4 sides, and the banana pudding will give you a good idea of what the Memphis BBQ experience is all about! Wash it all down with a six-pack of Yuengling beer , call it a good meal.

Allen Arcade

As good as the location at Central but with easier parking , larger tables and less of a hassle ordering at the counter. It's not as hip in this ex-Red Lobster building but who cares!

Philip Cummings

I’m a huge fan of Central’s dry ribs . My family loves the pulled pork . We’ve tried tons of Memphis BBQ shops and Central is definitely near the top of our list of favorites.

Janice Person

You can't go wrong with pulled pork or ribs . If you are feeling adventurous, go for the pig nachos . We love them. Think about saving space for the homemade desserts too. My fave is caramel cake !

Alan Price

I had a terrific pulled pork sandwich that I had to eat with a fork due to so much meat piled on the bun . A problem with which I was quite happy to handle.

Ok listen up.....these are the best wet Memphis ribs I have ever had.....I've eaten all over the world, best you can get, hands down, glad we stopped here while driving to TX...WOW WOW WOW

Allen Arcade

The full rack of ribs is a feast of some of the best ribs in Memphis! Get it dry and dip in the hot BBQ sauce .

Mason Hieb

Everything about them is great. You get big portions and the service is very good. Management seems to have it together

Jeffrey

The popular choices are dry rub ribs and BBQ nachos , both good choices. But the underrated favorite in my book is the turkey sandwich . Amazing.

Third best of the three branches, but still good. Has the best seating and parking situation of the bunch
