BBQ on the go! Wet ribs and gold wings were great. Pork nacho would had been better if no wet cheese and just did the shredded. Slaw and beans were meh. Cornmeal cake was…. I’m really not sure I never tasted anything like it my mouth is still trying to decide!!
Great atmosphere and really feels like a fun BBQ joint. The food was outstanding and I haven’t had meat that was cooked more perfectly. The sides we had were great, but there was minimal selection and there weren’t healthier options (like greens/green beans/vegetables). We did call ahead of time and ask about allergy friendly options, but they weren’t able to really accommodate requests for gluten free. The response was “we’ve had people with allergies eat here and not get sick”. My wife and I wouldn’t usually risk it, but we tried a few other places unsuccessfully and really wanted to get some BBQ while we were in Memphis. Glad we did because we loved the food, but we would have liked some healthier side options and more comfort with ordering with celiac disease.
Order takeout is super easy from the outdoor window. The wings are incredible. Smoky while still having crisp skin. The jerk option was a unique take on it. Lots of thyme not too much heat or allspice. Banana pudding was also fantastic. The pork was good and had a nice texture but not much smoke flavor. Pulled chicken was what you'd expect for pulled white meat. Not dry but nothing special. For sides the mac and potatoe salad were both good. Probably wouldn't get the beans again.
Iconic Memphis BBQ. After driving to 3 locations, we could only find one location that looked like a functioning restaurant. It was near downtown in the shadow of the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King was killed and the Civil Rights Museum stands. Don’t let it’s appearance fool you. Inside is rustic and has some down home REALLY GOOD EATIN!
Tried to go to the one downtown but a Lacrosse Team got there just before us so there was no seating so we came here.
The service was fast and the staff so friendly.
The food was so good - very fresh and large portions! We would definitely be back if we are back in the area!
