Went today to get food. Ordered a Catfish dinner with Spaghetti and a 4pc Chicken tender Dinner with Fries and slaw. Let's start off with the Customer service was Excellent as always. The food is usually great, but today wasn't the day! The fish were more like fish tenders and the chicken tenders must've been for a kids meal. And the taste is not as good as before.. Needless to say, I spent almost $30 for what looks like kids meals! Very disappointed and probably won't return to this location... The 2 stars were for customer service!! Thanks..

The pulled pork sandwich was moist and delicious with the perfect amount of smoke flavoring. This place was recommended by my limo driver. I was met by a friendly local standing outside this establishment and was told they recently experienced a fire and only had window service; however, he went to the window and shortly someone came outside willing to let me place a to go order - Memphis is full of friendly people. I enjoyed everything from the hospitality to the food. The only reason I didn't rate them 5 stars was the side of mac and cheese was a little more than a tablespoon in size; however, I would go back again.

Sausage and cheese plate is a uniquely delicious appetizer. Dusted with seasoning it’s a great start to your meal.

Great, great dry rub on the ribs. Such incredible flavor. I tried some ribs with sauce as well, they were ok, but nothing amazing. But again, the dry rubbed ribs, DELICIOUS. Try this place, get the dry rubbed ribs, you won't regret it!

I orderdd my food for pick-upThe good - best potato salad I've ever had and the Mac and cheese was pretty good for carry out.The bad - The pulled pork was so dry, bbq sauce couldn't even save it. The peach cobbler I received was burnt.Disappointed I paid $20 for food that was inedible.

We were driving through the area and decided to try Memphis BBQ. We ordered a half rack of ribs with half dry rub and half wet sauce. I preferred the wet. The BBQ beans were fantastic and the Cole slaw was good. However, I prefer a sweeter slaw. The homemade rolls were delicious. Our server Grace, was bubbly, friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant

Excellent service but the sandwiches were small. The server was very attentive and made sure we had everything we asked for. The BBQ sauce was really the best I’ve had in a long time.

We ran into this place wanting to try what Memphis had to offer with ribs. The flavor was good but the sides are really small for what you pay for a rack of ribs. They use the St. Louis style spare ribs. Overall it was good.

We were visiting from Dallas, TX. Reviews looked good online, but once we got to this location, the dining room was closed due to construction, but the drive thru was open. Our food was warm, but lacked flavor. The potato salad was bland, and the macaroni and cheese wasn't very good. The brisket wasn't that great, and the ribs were very fatty. Will not be visiting this location again. It appears that this is a chain BBQ restaurant. Not impressed.

Arrived to find out that they had had a fire and were only offering carry out. Ordered 2 piece catfish with coleslaw and hush puppies and pork BBQ sandwich with a side of slaw. Can’t remember when we’ve had food this good. Akia took our order. It was complete and accurate. Hope they are able to open for inside dining again soon!
