Have been to this place 3 or 4 times. The ribs are outstanding, suggest getting the dry-rub, and if you are a sauce person, ask for the sauce on the side. Baked beans are ok, can't say much more about the sides...oh, my wife and dog liked the rolls. more

Our first meal in Memphis was lunch (traveling from Canada) and heard a lot about Corky's BBQ. We went to the one Popular. The place was packed so we had lunch at the bar and turned out the owners wife ended up having lunch beside us and her sister was the bar tender. The atmosphere was fun and the service... more

Their menu is "tops", their wait staff (Bernard) was excellent and very friendly & helpful with directions & purchases, their food was great (and reasonably priced) more

We really enjoyed the bbq here-best of the vacation! Not usually a fan of banana based desserts but the waiter insisted and it was great! Long queue but worth the wait more

It was busy on Saturday night of Elvis week, so our wait was about 45 minutes. I had a beer while we sat and chatted with other customers. There were a few larger groups, but the turnover was fast. Despite that, we didn't feel rushed and eventually did have to turn down the offer of dessert. My wife had a... more

Corky's should not even be considered when thinking of Memphis bbq. I thought it was something special, but it turns out that there used to be Corky's bbq in Northwest Arkansas, where I am from. Even in an area with few decent bbq joints, it was considered less than average and closed down not long after it started. Do yourself... more

Decided that "when in rome" we should eat some authentic BBQ while visiting memphis. After scouring the reviews on trip advisor, we decided to try Corky's and we are thrilled that we did our homework (and thankful to all the tripadvisor contributors!).....Corky's is a bit of a drive from downtown (approx. 15mins) but well worth the drive. I wanted to... more
