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
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 fla
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
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!
Authentic as it gets. The meat on is on point. Great ribs and the BBQ sandwich was great too. Pass on the slaw, pretty bland. The Mac and cheese and green beans were good. In town for a short stop over and went twice in a day if that says anything!
Great barbecue! Best we have been to in Memphis! Great price and lots to eat. Loved the sides we got, too. Very quick and friendly service! Nice seating indoors or outdoors. Best ribs ever!! Can get crowded at times but they handle it well. Atmosphere was good and again, employees there rock, super
Had the Regular Brisket Sandwich with Slaw. And it was very good, tender brisket and good cole slaw. Also had the Pulled Pork Plate with Mac N Cheese and Green Beans, side portions were a bit smaller than a dinner plate should come with but nice use of seasoning on top of the Mac. The Pulled Pork wa
We normally cook on Memorial Day but choose not to this year, but still had to have some ribs. We heard about this place from a friend and drove almost 2 hours to get there. The line was outside the door, but moved very fast. We ordered and took our seat, the place was packed but the food came quick
Oh my, everything was delicious, including the draft beer! Loved the warm mild self serve pump BBQ sauce. It even had a little kick. So much better than a cold sticky bottle on the table. Huge portions.
Central BBQ. Midtown. 4/2/22
Got the half rack with beans: green and baked. The ribs were half and half with the wet side being hot bbq sauce. The interior is a little run down. It is the original, after all. It’s a little inconvenient that the restrooms are out of order, but there are portapotties
Excellent food. Their bbq sauce is spot on. The meat was great. Fries were tasty.
Wasn’t disappointed at all. I regret not trying the ribs, apparently they’re absolutely amazing.
I’ve never had slaw on a pulled pork sandwich before but it was a surprisingly good combination.
Dairy allergy friendly—
Awesome place. Started out with a regular pork sandwich with some mild sauce - delicious. My eyes were bigger than my stomach for round two, which was another pork sandwich, a brisket sandwich, and a half rack of dry ribs. The ribs were to die for - I’m still thinking about them the day after as I w
Out of everything we tried, the wings (jerk) and banana pudding were the best things. We wanted to try ribs but they were sold out at the time. We also got a pulled pork plate and a pulled chicken plate. The onion rings, potato salad and macaroni and cheese were all great for sides. If we had only t
First time in Memphis and had to try some Memphis BBQ. Central BBQ was great. There is a window outside where you order and pick up plates. The parking lot is kind of small at first glance. If you drive towards the back and turn left to go behind the building, there is more parking and the exit. The
