Get there early for lunch! I get to Memphis on a regular basis and when I'm in Germantown at lunch time there is NO decision as to where I'm headed. The Jumbo Pull Pork Sandwhich Platter is DELICIOUS! I love the slaw and fries but you have plenty of sides to choose from. Nothing fancy. Just good food! more

Everything I've had in the last few years have been delicious, except a few years ago when I tried the ribs, I found them to be too chewy and not very good. I've heard since then that they are much better. The deviled eggs, potato salad, cakes and pies - all extremely tasty. And in my opinion, the pulled BBQ... more

The restaurant is in a quite area off the main road, fairly easy to find. From the moment you enter you know you are in for a treat. Just the smell alone prepares you for a great dining experience. We had the BBQ plate and it was delicious. The pork was smoky and chopped just right. You really don't need... more

We are KCBS BBQ judges. A fellow judge recommended this place to us. We both ordered BBQ ribs. The ribs were inedible. At one point while chewing them, I remember thinking "thank goodness I don't have dentures because they would have been on the plate with the tough as leather ribs!" The sides were nothing special. The service wasn't either.... more

You know you've got a good rib when you can taste the smoky goodness...Yum! This place looks like a little shack on the side of the road and, well, that's pretty much what it is. But it is some good food! Parking is a little tight. However they have signs saying you can park in the church parking lot across... more

While in Memphis we looked at a lot of bbq places and got a recommendation from a hairdresser!! What a great place....kind of a hole in the wall type place but food that melts in your mouth! Ribs, nachos, pulled pork....and pie to die for! Don't miss it more

This is another place that I always try and get back to in Memphis, and its better than the Rendezvous in my opinion. The ribs are great with the dry or wet, and their pulled pork sandwiches are great...throw in a side of homemade onion rings and a sweet tea and you're living high on the hog! There's a reason... more
