Alternatively, you can now find franchise locations in Louisiana, Indiana, and Atlantic City - as well as in Memphis International Airport, near gate A23. Sally's expert tip: If you like what you eat, take comfort - you can ship Corky's home. Recommended for Barbecue because: We hit Corky's for the ribs - and love the fact you can also order via the drive-thru lane.

Bread, beans and slaw come with rib plates, offered in full and half racks. Here, wet ribs are hand-basted with a sweet, almost tangy sauce, while the dry version is loaded with a slightly tongue-searing mixture of herbs and spices. Inside, the music runs to oldies, the crowd runs to a mix of mostly east-side locals with a smattering of tourists, and the decor runs to Memphis-chic, with images of Elvis, the city, and awards on the wall. (And if you can't wait, there's always the drive-thru, which REALLY makes the parking interesting!) The restaurant can hold a fair amount of people,and the service is fast, and the 'cue is worth the wait. There's always a line at Corky's on Poplar Avenue and the parking is a challenge, and - but don't let any of that scare you away. Sally's expert tip: Meats are available in bulk, and sides range from a pint to gallon-sized - perfect for take away parties. Recommended for Barbecue because: We like One & Only for it's more refined atmosphere as well as it's amazing desserts. Homemade desserts - including a baked banana pudding with a meringue top, whipped up by the owner's wife - are worth the extra calories. There's also smoked turkey, chicken and sausage offered, as well as a huge variety of sides, from the usual suspects like beans and slaw to sweet potato fries, a mustard potato salad and even fresh fruit. Ribs are offered dry or wet, while pork shoulder is pulled or chopped - your choice. The 'cue is the real deal here, with the meat marinated for at least 24 hours, then slow cooked at 225-degrees.
One & Only feels more like a charming boutique restaurant instead of a barbecue joint.īut don't be fooled by the lush appearances - wrought iron tables outside, a beautiful chalkboard menu inside full of tantalizing possibilities, and a well-heeled clientele. Sally's expert tip: If you're lucky, you can check with the counter help and see if any skins are available at $2 a pop, they're a delicious departure from the usual. Recommended for Barbecue because: Honestly, we can't resist Top's skins - our favorite item on the menu, next to the pulled pork sandwich. Party packs, pork and brisket by the pound are also available. Side offerings include the usual suspects of beans and slaw, but also chips, fries, potato salad or pudding. True, this isn't fast food, but simply good barbecue, fast. But it's amazing how efficiently the small staff, especially at the Summer Avenue location, can pull together an order for drive-thru customers. Most of the locations are small - just a few basic booths or tables, maybe a picnic bench or two out front - and some have drive-thru service, which struck us as funny at a barbecue joint. Yep, it is a chain - 14 Memphis-area restaurants, including over the river in Arkansas and across the border in Mississippi - but all 14 shops offer the same menu and pricing - and delicious pork shoulders, cooked for 10 hours over a combination of green hickory wood, hardwood and charcoal. Truly, any dish at any one of the barbecue restaurants on this list will leave you wanting more.
So, you ask, how does yours truly fashion her list? Here we go: Central is my overall favorite, Payne's for the pulled pork sandwich with mustard-y slaw, the Rendezvous for best atmosphere and sausage and cheese plate, Corky's for ribs. Everyone in the city tends to play favorites, meaning that they have a favorite barbecue joint for ribs, another for pulled pork sandwiches, maybe a third for the sausage and cheese plate - you get the idea. Our list is actually based on quite a bit of research, which means we've eaten multiple times at each of these barbecue restaurants. After all, if you're going to eat, you may as well do it right and take advantage of Memphis's best. We also help you find areas where barbecue is prominent - the Midtown area, for example - so that you not only get terrific dining recommendations, but you also have choices to boot. Then, we showcase popular restaurants like Central BBQ, and we highlight eateries with great user reviews, like The Bar-B-Q Shop.
