This was the worst excuse for a BBQ sandwich ever...and it was over 9 dollars. They fail in other areas too. Don't believe the other reviews

Arrived after being stuck in long solar eclipse traffic for hours in the middle of the night where all the touristy spots were closed, this place was the only one open. The joint is extremely local, no frills, folks are super friendly, and it’s very lively inside. We ordered half a rack of ribs and some baked beans and slaw. We were gonna drive and eat but had to pull over and eat in the car when we took the first bite. It’s easily some of the best bbq ribs I’ve ever had. Mind you that I’m a Texas style fan and this is not Texas style, but I was still shook by how good this is. The pork ribs are falling off the bone tender, but not sloppy or without texture, it has a nice crust but juicy and flavorful and has a nice bite on the inside, the sauce is the perfect blend of tangy, sweet smokey but has a nice kick and cuts down the fattiness of the ribs perfectly, the most insane part is that it’s cooked so thoroughly that every bone can be chewed through all the way, and all the flavor and juice of the bone comes out. I’d never had that in any bbq ribs, at best the tips come apart but not the bone itself. We were too busy eating to take a picture and by the time we were done all that’s left are bone fragments. My husband licked all the sauce clean. That was SOME DAMN GOOD BBQ!

I was told this was the best BBQ in Memphis. We arrived right as they opened on a Monday morning, so I can understand that certain meats weren't available yet-although they should stay on top of it. I had the pulled pork nachos, and I should have asked for light sauce, as it was overwhelmed with BBQ and nacho cheese. The meat was unbelievably tender and delicious. Even though it was from the night before, it had a smokey flavor with spices I assume are secret. My husband had fresh ribs that fell right off the bone.The atmosphere is very family oriented. I can tell they have a lot of loyal regulars and a decent nightlife with pool tournaments. The guys who served us showed us that souther hospitality we tourists always hear about.Don't let the building fool ya. Some places, like Rendezvous, are geared towards tourists with bright lights and loud decor. When a great BBQer is a master of their craft, they focus more on the food and less on the building.Overall, sauce was too sweet, but the meat was top-notch. Service was awesome, and the atmosphere had a lived-in feel.

We were driving through Memphis on our road trip and wanted to find the best BBQ and we did just that. The pork shoulder sandwich was tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. We got baked beans and potato salad on the side and they did not disappoint. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming. I’m going to recommend this spot to everyone that mentions they are visiting Memphis!

Talk about a hidden gem! It's located on Jackson. And it puts Tops to shame. Huge meat portions. As well as an outstanding sauce. Combined it makes for the definition of a BB-Q. Staff is honest and friendly. Plenty of parking. Prices are beyond reasonable for what you get.
I mite have went at da wrong time cuz I was definitely sold some old

Made the Memphis Flyer’s top 5 hole in the wall bbq joints. While that might describe the local and atmosphere, the bbq sandwich is pretty darn good. Wednesday at 12 it wasn’t very busy for dine in but there was a lot of carry out business. Thick dark bbq sauce with a hint of sweet to it. Reminded me of another sauce I’d had but I couldn’t peg it down. Definitely worth the trip.

WARNING: Closed at noonday and located in a bad part of town. It looked scary to walk around in broad daylight here. We didn't even get out of the car. Very unsafe neighborhood. Avoid this place!Kid-friendliness: NOT safe for children or families.
