Fantastic food and really saved the day from some Memphis well known joints that were subpar. Ribs were fantastic dry and with sauce. The sides were really good. The woman who took our order was friendly and wonderful!

Very strong!!
Stopped in here the other day with our department for an end of the year celebration and was very pleased. This has been a good bbq establishment in Memphis for quite some time now. Really good hot wings!
I had the boss man salad with smoked turkey and ranch dressing. It was incredible. It came in an edible bowl that was tasty as well.
Great service and super cool atmosphere. I look forward to coming back.

I have to say tonight was really special. Wife and I had time to get a date. This place was fantastic. Between the food, atmosphere, and service. Everything was a 5. We will definitely be having this as a staple constantly. Thank you Sophia and Jay! We'll be back!

Big portions, I had the 3 combos meats, pulled pork, brisket and the turkey. The Onion ring was ok, not the style that I liked. The batter for the onion ring was soft, I prefer it crispy.

Came in the late afternoon and there was a short wait to order. Once you order, the food comes out pretty quickly. I got the half slab of ribs with greens and mac and cheese and everything was delicious! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender. The half wet/half dry option was nice because you could dip the dry part in any of their sauces. Their hot BBQ sauce was especially tasty.

Great staff, amazing food.
These ribs are some of the best I've ever had, hands down. Unbelievably tender and juicy. It's a good thing I don't live in the same state because I'd be gaining a few pounds. Next time I find myself near Memphis I'll be coming back without a doubt.

The BBQ restaurant is full of nostalgia on walls of blues history & musicians & Elvis Presley. The ambiance is so cool vibe & the BBQ ribs are amazing & so tender !! We had ribs, pulled pork sandwiches & cole slaw, beans fries & the sweet tea is so delicious! Definitely a great place to eat barbeque in Memphis!!

Excellent BBQ.
Went here after we visited the Civil Rights Museum. (Which is a must-see)
The line was all the way outside. However, the line moved rather quickly.
The food was very, very good, not dry like other smoked meats tend to be. Loved there sauce, too.
I had pulled pork 8 out of 10
Hubby had briskett 10 out of 10

I'm not a bbq connoisseur by any means, but this place was recommended by a local, and the bbq ticked all the boxes...Smoky, spicy, sweet. We shared a half dry, half wet rack of ribs, mac and cheese, green beans and coleslaw. The bbq was the star. Didn't love the coleslaw bc it didn't have that cool, crispy taste, it was a little heavy. Mac and cheese was good, but not amazing (my own personal taste). I would definitely go back and order different sides, bc the bbq was so good. Plenty of seating indoor and out. I would highly recommend!!!

In town for the day and wanted some good bbq. I wasn't disappointed. Friendly and courteous staff worth quick service. The bbq brisket sandwich was delicious. I also had the greens and fries which were equally good. Highly recommend.
