Love the BBQ Beef Brisket here although I don’t do the coleslaw that most do. Always impressed with how quick the food comes out to you here. Best BBQ place around!
Among the most popular items on the menu is the barbecue pork shoulder sandwich—do yourself a favor and add an order of their fried pickles to your meal; you can thank us later. Read more
Get the ribs and catfish combo (with Mac and cheese ). Both items are tops! I like dry rub ribs , and these do not disappoint.
Sausage and cheese plate is a uniquely delicious appetizer . Dusted with seasoning it’s a great start to your meal.
Apple BBQ sauce was Great! The dry rub ribs , catfish , Mac & cheese were all great! The banana pudding was a delicious note to end on.
This the best you should come here if your really hungry they give you a lot of food give it a 10
Delta catfish & Rib Combo!! Dry rub !! Mmmmmm!!!! Waitress was fantastic!
Really great smoked turkey ... Service was the best!!! Parking not so much cause they was busy.... But overall would recommend this place!!
It was so good. Dry ribs , mac & cheese , baked beans ????????????????
This place has the ABSOLUTE BEST ribs ! Run with the "Dry" rings and go with the sauce on the side!
Their food is delicious. Personally I enjoy the sweet tea , pulled pork sandwich and the BBQ nachos .
Very good all around BBQ . go to rendezvous for ribs , come here for everything else.
Great food and great ambiance for out of town folk looking for a real BBQ place .
great BBQ - my second favorite spot in Memphis (but only THIS location). Also, great ice cold draft beer . I've never had a bud light taste so good.
Awesome fall off the bone Ribs and Beef Brisket !!!
Still the best! I get it every time I come back to Memphis!
The ribs are best I had by far
Don't skip the dessert ! The banana pudding alone is worth the trip.
Ask for the pork without sauce so you can add your favorite!
Beef brisket was surprisingly good for a Memphis bbq joint
Try the BBQ Beef Sandwich - Better than pork !
"Big Daddy" was EVERYTHING. The catfish was my favorite part. Great service.
Get the spaghetti , you won't regret it
The best BBQ I've ever had in my life, period!
Order the Dry setup for 2. Get some Sweet Baby Ray's sauce...good eatin'. Try the potato salad .
In addition to the ribs , get the Corky's beer
BBQ is good. But the catfish is the best I've ever had.
Best ribs in the world! The dry rub is fabulous!
The food was good...the service was fast. Parking was tight. Difficult to find.
Memphis Tradition, sausage and cheese with hot seasoning, delicious. Try it!
Splendid ribs washed down with beer
Best Ribs in Memphis , bar none !
Dry rub ribs . Yum!
Looking for lean? Order the pulled pork for the leanest, best barbecue you've ever had.
The Poplar location has the BBQ in Memphis.
Get the homemade banana pudding for dessert . It's that good.
The dry rub ribs are worth any drive you take to get here!!
Best ribs I have ever had. Dry-rub. Best ever.
Banana pudding is awesome
Sorry, I wasn't impressed (but I'm a vegetarian ) everyone raved about the Mac & cheese but I felt it was over cooked and mushy. I had the peach cobbler too and it was all dough and barely any peaches
All the barbecue was delicious
Ask for your ribs to be "half & half " to experience both the wet bbq as well as the dry rub .
Not the absolute best Barbecue in Memphis, but they treat you AND feed you like family here. This place is great for a regular weeknight out. Don't eat here if you are a barbecue connoisseur.
Best dry rub on the planet
Buy any ribs get any Draft beer half price
Everything!
Go with the dry rub ribs . FANTASTIC!!!!
Good atmosphere and Old Blues flowing through the restaurant
Everything
The pecan pie is great! Save room for this dessert !
It's been a long tome since I've been here and it's a shame. BBQ is excellent and the slaw is the best. It won't be this long till my next visit. - Jim Haire
The OG and the best branch in town. Parking is a mess, but it's well worth the wait. Better wings than most chicken joints - Tiffany Langston
So close, tucked into a tiny lot right in the midst of so much. Delicious & fresh, fast service - Gayle Schultz
Amazing! So much to see. Allow several hours to avoid rushing through the exhibits. A very magical place! - Erin Klingberg
Get the plate called the best Meal On Beale - Michael Garrett
Surprisingly, the Donuts here are SO good! Not the healthiest snack, but definitely a yummy splurge treat. - Jesse Faris
