This is the definition of a hole-in-the-wall barbecue joint, complete with killer food. I would not have had the courage to try the barbecue spaghetti had it not been recommended by a friend who is also a professional chef, but I am very glad that I did.

Absolutely Awful me and my best friend tried this place tonight because we came all the way from Indiana to plan a family reunion in Memphis and we decided to try some BBQ because everyone says that Memphis has the best BBQ. When I say it was disappointing I mean it was disappointing to the MAX the “rib tips” were huge like pieces off of a slab they were 4 finger width “tips” then the sauce was so oily and didn’t taste like ANYTHING AT ALL there was no seasoning on the tip and is was drowned in oily sauce then they put my potato salad inside the same container as my ribs and it turned into potato soup completely inedible the baked beans were the only thing that was half way decent and what ever meat they used inside of it was tough and old like some jerky . I wasted 35 plus dollar on this place and I am not the one to throw something away especially if I paid for it but I couldn’t force myself to eat anymore. I threw it in the GARBAGE, I’m not sure if this is just how Memphis does their BBQ but it’s definitely different then Indiana.

If I could give negative stars, I would. There are so many terrible things about our experience here, but I'll start with the worst one. THEY SOLD US ROTTEN MEAT. You read that right. We paid $35 for a slab of beef ribs that smelled of ROT at the first bite. I mean, it's like they pulled them out of the dumpster to put in our box. After that, we were too scared to eat the potato salad or coleslaw because if you sell rotten meat, there is no way you keep cold things at the appropriate temp.To start, we arrived at this wretched place after google suggested it for Memphis bbq while we spent 1.5 hours in traffic because Memphis decided to close a major interstate for construction on a major travel day (eclipse).Upon our arrival at 8:57pm, we found the dining room closed. Upon inquiry, the man at the counter told us they were closing in 2 minutes. When I advised that Google (and their own door) indicated a later closing time, he said he didn't care what Google said. That should have been our first clue to find somewhere else to eat, but we didn't want to delay our travel any further as we had been on the road for 24+ hours already. My family ordered a slab of pork ribs, a slab of beef ribs, and a pound of brisket. EVERY SINGLE MEAT WAS BOILED. There was no indication of smoking anywhere, neither in color nor flavor. The man indicated they did not sell the point end of the brisket, and that should have been our second red flag to leave. The brisket was thin sliced and bland.They only have 2 sauces, and both were bland. The fries had no seasoning, not even salt. My ten yo didn't even want them. The coleslaw was yellow. We wouldn't even try it after tasting the spoiled ribs.My family spent $95 on food that we could not even eat. If you will sell spoiled, rotten meat, you cannot be trusted. We left the entire meal there on their table like the trash it was. Truly disgusting. We couldn't even complain because the employees left right after handing us our food.The service was terrible. The food was terrible. Honestly, the entire city was terrible. So, I doubt I'll ever come back; but, if I do, I definitely would not come here.I had better food at a roadside diner in backwoods Arkansas.

Workers are friendly & the atmosphere offered some history if you walked around.We ordered 2 meat combo with 2 sides. Beef ribes and beef hot link. Sides: bbq beans and potato salad.The only thing good was the potato salad. You know the meat is bad when the sauce tastes worse when you put it on the meat then eat it. Also, had to ask for extra sauce.

Both of their locations are convenient from Interstate 55 and 240.
