However, my friend ended up ordering a sausage and cheese platter from them for an event we were attending and I was assigned pick-up duty. Since it was lunch time I went ahead and ordered from them. I had the barbecue nachos, a grilled cheese sandwich, baked beans, and their homemade potato salad. When I walked in, I went downstairs. I immediately felt the Memphis vibe. All of the pictures, souvenirs, music, etc. made us feel right at home. It is family owned and at the owner was super kind to my baby boy and I. Now let's get into the food! My favorite was the potato salad. It was so delicious. I would definitely go back and order it to pair with my meals at home. If you don't like it sweet then it's not for you. The nachos were good. It can with a bag of chips, so I had to assemble them myself (that could also be because I ordered them to go). The chicken was the highlight. It was juice and seasoned really well. The grilled cheese and baked beans were ok. The parking is a "thing", so I don't believe I will dine in. If I want some more or to try more items, I will order takeout!

We ordered some ribs, a Polish sausage sandwich and sides of beans, tato salad and mashed tatos. The sausage in the sandwich was very good but prob because they didn't make it. It was dripping with a decent BBQ sauce that was clearly added after cooking. The ribs stuck to the bone and were drenched in BBQ sauce that was also added after the fact. Even the smoke felt like the meats didn't spend enough time in the smoker but were dry except to the aforementioned BBQ sauce drenching. I ordered a lemonade: best guess is that it was Minute Maid.

It also is a name that I cherish, and that means a lot to me because that was the name of my grandmother who I have a tattoo of on my hand. And when I realized that they sold merch with that name on there, I was even more excited and happy that I came here. I ultimately initially wanted to come for the experience and the ribs, but I got so much more. The live music was so entertaining. I really enjoyed my ribs, mac & cheese, and beans and my two cocktails were refreshing as well. Them ribs just completely fell off the bone and were so tender that you could eat them with a fork. The mac & cheese was seasoned and so creamy and I now understand why the waiter recommended that I order it as a replacement for the coleslaw because I hate coleslaw. The staff was really great. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

The meat was perfectly smoked, with a great Smokey flavor and a rich bark on the outside. I'm talking about sucking on the bones to get that last bit of BBQ taste.

They don't take reservations, and I even called to inform them we had a party of 9 and they said it didn't matter. Okay... we get there and had to wait 30 minutes for a table. If we had been able to make a reservation, that wouldn't have happened. The employees were all nice though. Our main waiter and the waitress helping him were attentive and got what we needed. One thing that really disappointed me was that they were out of brisket (told us after we placed our orders) and half our orders had brisket. We had family from the west coast here and the whole point of going to Memphis BBQ was for them to enjoy southern BBQ and I feel they didn't get the whole experience. Another thing, our waiter specifically said he put the 3 kids meals on one order so they would come out first... guess which ones came out last out of all 9 of us? Yeah, the kids. And the food was piping hot for them so they barely ate anything by the time we were all done with our meals. Which our meals were actually good. Except the water. Has an awful chlorine taste to it. Lastly, weren't we supposed to get complimentary pork rinds? I completely forgot about that until after we left or I would have asked for them. It wasn't a horrible experience, but we've definitely had better and we'll probably be back sometime.

The food was fine but our meal took forever because each person's food was delivered one person at a time, and so slowly that #1 was finished before #2 arrived. There were four of us.

I don't know what was off, but it was not a good experience. The vibe wasn't bad, and the food was great. I think on a better night it could be a great place to go.
