    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.

    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

    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.
