Wait! Why was this my first time visiting Crutchfields?! The food here is delicious. I am so glad someone recommended it to me. I went in an immediately had the vibe that some good ole Memphis Barbecue would be served right up! I had the smoked hotwings with barbecue baked beans and potato salad. OMG It was so good! The meat was literally falling off the bone. The beans were seasoned just as I like them and the potato salad was great as well. To top it off, I had a grade soda! I throughly enjoyed my meal. The service was also great and friendly! The price point was super reasonable. They have many options. I can't wait to go back and sample other items on the menu. Oh and yes, they are taking all of the necessary precautions to keep customers safe during this time. Great spot! read more

It was EXCELLENT just as I remembered. The chopped chicken sandwich was off the chain. Can't wait to order another. I was a faithful weekly customer when they were located on Hollywood Street. I was driving by on Saturday and just happen to notice their Food Truck. I will be patronizing them whenever I can find them open. read more

It's hard to choose one favorite from the menu! Will definitely be eating Crutchfield BBQ again!

On a road trip from Nashville to Memphis, or just happen to be cruising along I-40? Make sure to fuel up at Crutchfields! Fried okra, smoked turkey leg, sausages, corn...they've got it all. The flavors are great and the prices are fair. If you're feeling chatty, be sure to talk with the friendly staff and share food stories from your travels. We enjoyed our lunch and will certainly be back if and when the road carries us this way. read more

Disappointing. Not good. Bad area, looks like folks dealing drugs right in front of the place. Not soft drinks, only tea and fruit drinks. Pulled pork sandwiches, dry, no flavor, chewy. Mac N Cheese was good, as was okra...but hard to mess those up. read more

Good food...piss poor customer service I ordered the wing combo which came with a drink, two sides and bread. After receiving the order, I noticed that the bread was not with the order. I asked if I could have a slice of bread with my order and the clerk immediately stated that it doesn't come with bread. I went on to tell her that the menu clearly shows that it came with bread. She replied saying that she don't know the menu said. The cook stepped over and also stated that bread isn't given out unless requested. Why print if on the menu if it doesn't automatically come with the meal. They were very unprofessional and quickly made me regret that I even patronized the business. I should have known better.. read more

I had the BBQ chicken nachos. They were the best I have ever had. I would definitely go back. I like they are BOB. I would suggest calling to make sure they have ribs and chicken prepared. A customer in front of me wanted all rib tips and they were out. I would certainly go back. I would also recommend this place. read more

When my smoke sausage combo arrived, I took a bite and noticed no flavor what so ever. I figured it was because it was the beginning of the Sandwich so I took another bite and it still had no flavor so I pulled it away and noticed pale green meat in my smoke sausage!!! I peeled the skin part near the green meat only to find more green meat! I asked for the manager . Told her my meat has some green stuff in it she had an attitude and said "so you want another one?" Ummmm no! I asked for a bacon cheeseburger instead. While waiting for my sandwich, I took a picture of it but it came out blurry. One of the female workers noticed me taking a picture and she asked if I was done. She took my plate and threw it away telling the owner I didnt like my sandwich. Too afraid to eat anything else from the restaurant we left with upset stomachs and no apologies from the owner or manager. Both appeared upset with me for not wanting to eat old spoiled meat with no flavor. This was my first and ABSOLUTELY my last visit. So much for eating local... very disappointed. read more

Crutchfields BBQ - Old molded spoiled meat served to me and my children at Crutchfield BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Daughter and I stopped there on our road trip, we always get BBQ when passing thru Memphis. Glad the GPS took us of the road a bit, even if the neighborhood is a bit sketchy. Restaraunt was clean and smelled so good like brisket. The girl working the counter was friendly, and efficient. She was taking orders well and making sure people waiting got their food as it was ready. We got 2 good sized meat portioned meals with drink for total of $20.71. 1 Meal-Pulled Pork Sandwich, 2 sides(fried tomatoes, okra) and drink. Other meal Pork Rib Sandwich Combo, 2 sides(onion rings, and something else-says vip on the receipt) and drink. Our food was seasoned well, cooked just right and tasted amazing. They did sell out of some of the meats by the time we arrived, but we saw how busy it was, probably make their food for each day. read more

Some of the nicest people you will ever meet and amazing food. Smoked Mac and cheese (only on fri and sat) is beyond amazing. This may be Memphis best kept BBQ secret. read more

I thought Commisary had some good wings..these were smoked then flashed fried and carried a wealth of flavor from the cooking method..hatr the ribs werent done but Ill be back soon.. read more

Crutchfields BBQ - Best whole wings in Memphis! - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

And we are at it again. Today we tried Crutchfields BBQ at the recommendation of a Memphis officer. He first suggested A&R. . . NOT. I am willing to pay for food, not Nasty Attitudes. Then he suggested Crutchfields. He said it was a family owned place, really nice and clean and a good Christian environment. I have had such horrible experiences with food lately, that I gave him a little side eye. This place couldn't be all that and it's sitting on the corner of Hollywood and James. I COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG. When we walked in, we were actually greeted by the employees. WHAT THE WHAT?!?!?! Very nice young black men, no sagging pants, clean uniforms and respectful were greeting the customers. There was no yelling across the restaurant. There was no cursing. There was no loud music playing. One on the employee's apron was dirty. He stopped doing what he was doing and put on a clean apron. Just on the service alone, I will definitely be going back. Now, on to the food. The chicken wings were So DELICIOUS. They were perfectly seasoned. The wings were actually big enough to eat without wondering if there was any meat on the bone. The rib tips were so tender that they fell apart when I tried to pick them up. The baked beans were okay. Not what I would make in my kitchen, but the best I've had from a restaurant. Crutchfields definitely has my vote for the best BBQ Joint in Memphis, Shelby County, TN. read more

A great family run operation with excellent menu options, many of which are made in house. The bbq sandwiches were stacked high with generous amounts of quality meat, although I found the pork was not as remarkably flavorful as I would have hoped. Still good, but the weakest park of the meal. (Maybe the ribs or rib tips will be better). The sides however, are the real standouts here so far. The potato salad and smoked mac & cheese are noted as being house made along with the coleslaw. That said, the one MUST HAVE when coming here are the fried green tomatoes. OMG!...they were perfection and the best I have ever had! Hand battered with a cornmeal coating which was artfully applied at just the right ratio ...and then quick fried to a golden crunch. Not greasy at all and worthy to be served at a royal dinner. I look forward to trying other menu items at Crutchfields. These people seem to care about their brand and appear to be dedicated in bringing customers a good value. read more

One of my favorite places to go for comfort food and BBQ. I've had just about everything on the menu and haven't had a complaint yet. The employees are always friendly. There is typically a wait and often a crowd. It's worth the wait. It's crowded for a reason. read more

While Crutchfields has some really good food, I am contemplating returning. I placed a call in order and was told it would be 25-30 minutes. Okay...I can get with that. I arrived to the restaurant 45 minutes later and I still had to wait another 25 minutes for my food...which happened to be a smoked sausage and nachos. And, as it turns out, they ran out of smoked sausages and had to replace it with its turkey cousin. Fortunately, I don't mind turkey sausage, but I think it's unacceptable for me to have to wait another 40 minutes for their lack of, what I call, customer care. At this point, I'm ready to drive across town to Interstate BBQ. read more

They will try to fool you with fake rib tips nasty meat had to bring it home and boil it down in beans.

Crutchfield's is a great little barbecue restaurant on N. Hollywood with very friendly service. I really enjoyed the rib tips. Definitely worth trying! read more

Cruthfields always accommodate my order request. I always eat the turkey leg or rib tips. Some of the best in the South, hands down. It's a family run operation so please support them if you're hungry or even if you're not. Lol, but seriously folks stop by and I guarantee you won't be disappointed or I'll buy your meal ( if I happen to be there ) read more

I discovered Crutchfield's by accident not long after they opened. It was a tradition for my husband and me to eat barbecue when traveling through Memphis on our way to the mountains of East Tennessee. On one such trip my then-favorite barbecue place was closed, so I found Crutchfield's online with great reviews. Those reviews didn't do anything to prepare my tastebuds for what was about to happen. I'm not sure what magic barbecue fairy dust they sprinkle on those wings, but that paired with honey gold sauce (aka nectar of the Gods) visits my dreams often. I introduced my hiking squad to Crutchfield's last year on our way to the mountains. Now, they too flock to my favorite pit master's haven on Hollywood street in Memphis. We have asked Walter many times when he will open a restaurant in Arkansas in order to satiate our voracious appetite for the best barbecue on either side of the Mississippi. Thanks, Walter! Your Arkansas fans. read more

I love this place. Mostly I get the hot honey wings. They are the best, I think. You should call and order -- they run out of wings sometimes. read more

Passed through Memphis and stopped here for lunch. Just off I-40 and ample parking for a U-Haul. Very friendly service and delicious food. I had the brisket plate while my friend had the rib tips plate. Both delicious, and makes for a splendid lunch. Worth the stop by. read more
