Fat Cap turned up in a random search for a nearby lunch on Yelp - my extremely good fortune!…read more Memphis is my second home town and I'm a total BBQ nerd. I was a certified Memphis BBQ Network judge and also held that credential with the KC BBQ Society. My BBQ consumption regularly lands me in hot water with my PPC on a number of issues; it is what it is. So imagine my surprise when I drove into the parking lot and saw a big pile of real hardwood stacked in the back. I was optimistic. And I wasn't disappointed. My original plan was to have some brisket (woefully largely missing from the local Memphis scene) but when the proprietor offered the option of a brisket and rib combo, I jumped on it. Here's the deal: this guy knows what he's doing smoking meats. The ribs were as good as my Memphis favorites at Cozy Corner and I've never said that about ribs anywhere in Memphis or elsewhere. The brisket a perfect 10 - perfectly seasoned, beautiful smoke ring and juicy without being fatty. Neither the ribs nor the brisket wanted for any sauce, but the two I sampled should be bottle and sold at Amazon. That's enough, you should get the point (and the flat and the ribs!!). Bon appetite

Holy freaking cow! I just unhinged my jaw and inhaled their brisket like a T. rex. That was,…read morewithout a doubt, the best darn brisket I've ever had in my entire life. Tender, juicy, full of flavor. So perfect it doesn't even need sauce! I've traveled all over the country and am a bit of a bbq snob. This place is one in a million. Worth every penny. It can only be described in one word, which is a word I just made up.... MEATGASM! I took it to go. I'm sure all the "oh my gawds, and oh yums!" Coming from my office probably raised a few eyebrows but I can't help it. Holy crap that was delicious! Also, try it with the Alabama sauce. (Chefs kiss) perfection!!!

The cole slaw and baked beans were unappetizing and the potato salad was not any better. Multiple items we tried to order were unavailable: including wings, cornbread, and frito chili pie. Moreover, the server didn't even let us know we would not be getting our cornbread until we brought up the missing dish. We were charged for the cornbread as well. We came on Wednesday when it is supposed to be $1 wings but they are out of wings by 5:30??? There was a SINGLE SERVER trying to take care of every table but service was incredibly slow. The server was nice and I felt bad for her. This was supposed to be a special occasion and the restaurant was a huge letdown.

I got the lunch special with pulled pork, smoked chicken, along with the smoke potatoes and a chunk of cornbread. The cornbread was sweet and delicious! The house sweet BBQ is really good too! The smoked potatoes were cooked beautifully but had no flavor or smoke taste. The pulled pork was very dry especially on the ends as if it was microwaved but with some sauce was okay. The smoked chicken though tasted just like smoke and the texture was very off almost like a microwave rewarm as well. Our server was super nice about it though when I mentioned it. Overall the place is very clean but it wouldn't be something I go out of my way for.

The hotwater cornbread was literally a brown rock. Hard enough to break a tooth on. I am not kidding. Tl;dr have the brisket w sauce on the side. Order the greens...definitely order the greens. Stay away from the hot water cornbread.
