Came to Memphis looking for the best Black‑owned barbecue. This was not it. What I got was basically boil‑BQ. How do you serve rib tips with connective tissue still running through them? The meat was extremely tough, had no flavor, and honestly tasted like boiled chicken. I’m genuinely disappointed in Memphis right now. I’ve had incredible barbecue everywhere — Texas, Kansas City, even back home in Baltimore — and this didn’t come close. The sauce tasted like sweet ketchup. Horrible.

If you’re looking for the best in Memphis BBQ sandwiches be sure and stop here. We came in at 1:00 pm and it was a steady stream of customers right through the time we left. Freda is the person at the front to deal with and she’s a super order taker, hostess and waitress when needed. Can’t wait to come back and try some of the other items. EDIT: came back a year later and got a rack of ribs. Delicious.

This place has great food and once you visit it’s going to be a weekly must have. From the time I pulled up to the restaurant I could smell the aroma of fine pit BBQ that will have you wanting to stop by and great prices
