★★★★☆ 4.0 Bobby Hayes · Jan 2026

First of all, I really appreciated the customer service. The guy at the front was accommodating, friendly, and warm, which is always nice. So, the food. I got the three-piece, which is fairly priced. I added burnt ends and spicy coleslaw, which were pretty good for the size. The baked beans were piping hot. The spicy coleslaw was good, though it wasn't really spicy they just added some jalapeños. I did like the feta cheese, which added a nice touch with a little sugar. On to the meats. The chicken quarter was kind of dry, but it was piping hot. It could have used a little more seasoning for my taste, but the sauce on the side was pretty good with it. The burnt ends were a little tough, but I liked how they dressed them up with yellow mustard, jalapeños, and onions, which created a nice f

Okay, this barbecue joint is a shack! And it's awesome. By the way, if you get their barbecue nachos, you're going to be eating for like a week! I mean there was so much meat on there that there is no way they're making money off of that! I worry for them to stay in business! They handed me my pork nacho container and it weighed literally pounds. I ate until I was in pain and then I took all of the leftover pork and it's got to be at least a pound of meat that I'm taking home to make barbecue sandwiches with later! Crazy! The andouille sausage was also crazy delicious. And they chopped it up in little pieces and they must have pan-fried it because it was slightly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Insanity!! The brisket is also fantastic. Bottom line - don't eat all day, the

At the tail end of breakfast rush! Missing my opportunity to review the breakfast menu I was introduced to the Brunch menu must have been fate I was confronted with a BBQ Benedict! So amazed at the concept definitely on of my new favorites Be back for the breakfast earlier next time!

★★★★★ 5.0 Christopher B · Dec 2025

Some of the best bbq I've had in Memphis. I had the dry ribs, and they were so tender and juicy. Also had the pulled pork nachos, in which the pulled pork was great too. There was a large menu with all kinds of BBQ and different sandwiches you can order. This is a very casual restaurant, as the name implies. Perfect place for carryout. Food came pretty quickly too. I highly recommend.

Stopped in twice on our trip to Memphis. Ribs were tender, cooked perfectly, flavorful and have a great dry rub. Best ribs! Sauce on the side is also delicious. Bbq Nachos had so much meat- huge portion, definitely shareable. This is a must visit spot in Memphis for BBQ!
