The meal consists of baked beans, Cole slaw, a deviled egg for each and dinner rolls. We were seated immediately by a very friendly hostess and then greeted by our waitress. She is clearly someone's Grandma! She was extremely cordial and attentive....just like your Grandma would be if you sat down at her dinner table! The food was delicious and maybe the best ribs I've ever had! 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. My biggest disappointment was we finished everything...no leftovers! If you're ever in Memphis, this is a place to check out and bring your appetite! You can thank me later!

You MUST try the homemade banana pudding which reminded me of my Southern step-mom's recipe. The BBQ beef brisket salad using BBQ sauce as your dressing is scrumptious. It's big enough to split. BBQ sandwiches, platters, and ribs are also options. Note: The brunswick stew has pork and there are non-BBQ items such as burgers on the menu. We'll be back and I highly recommend! Withheld a 5/5 rating since one side's seating area required a very high step up/down which is NOT handicap accessible. The other side seemed accessible.

I have been on other days, but I like the side choices best on Mondays. My go to is usually Smothered Pork Chops. My sides vary a bit, but I regularly get Northern Beans, Mac & Cheese, and Cream Corn. There seems to be a sweetness to everything I've eaten. Sometimes it can be a bit much and will sometimes spur my hiatus. Everyone is so friendly here. I've never encountered a single employee that wasn't cheerful and efficient. In all honestly, it's better than most places I go, anywhere in Memphis. It's cafeteria style, so you walk down the line and choose what you want. You can tell how fresh it is before you choose and I dig that. Dining room is good. Watch your step, platforms in and out of the booths. Someone will come get your plate and trash. They are always there to make sure you enjoy your food. I'll be back for sure.

We ordered baked chicken, smothered pork chops and various sides, along with BIG OL' squares of chocolate cake and red velvet cake. The red velvet cake was exceptionally good, being light and airy and tasting of chocolate (as it should) and not food coloring. Next time we're in Memphis (and if we survive; Memphis has the WORST drivers I've ever seen, and I'm from L.A.) we will definitely go back!

    I remember eating here as a kid. Not particular to this location and more so on Mt. Moriah…read more Dad always had a liking for this place. I have fond memories of the whole experience. Picking out the desserts at the end was the pinnacle of success for me. I could get jello with whipped cream, and nuts , and more whipped cream, and no one could tell me nothing!! NOTHING! My dad used to love to go to the one in Germantown when he got older. I'd meet him there for lunch with a few of his friends. I miss that a whole lot. Fast forward 10 years and here we are for lunch. I had a meeting out here and needed to grab lunch for me and my homie. Walked in and service was great! Folks were friendly, took great care of us. Food was good. I loved mine. Livers had great taste and texture. Crunchy even though being soaked in gravy and onions. Yum. Tons of flavor!! Pinto beans were fire! That is an unusual thing to say really, but they are. Mashed potatoes are decent. I had jalapeño cornbread and I liked it. My bitchy partner had chicken tenders and ate one while bitching about having to buy three instead of two even though I paid for lunch. Oh well. You can't win all the time. He did take two home. Place is run down y'all. Like for real. Ceiling tiles to concrete is old and needs to be replaced. It's like time stopped inside but wear and tear did not. I'll be back up in this bitch as long as it stands. They ain't let me down before and I bet they won't in the future. Long live Piccadilly!! '26 - 37

Some of my favorite dishes are the fried fish and okra. They also have a great selection of desserts. The deli plate is usually what we get because you get a meat and two vegetables and your bread and a drink.

This location is a large building with lots of seating options. I had to try Central as it keeps winning awards and is consistently mentioned as the top BBQ place in the Memphis area. Some of their awards were displayed at the entrance and on the walls. Lots of history. My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and had the slaw on the side so I could have it (she's not a slaw fan). I had the small order of ribs with 1/2 dry and 1/2 wet with sides of BBQ Beans and Mac n Cheese. I tried the pulled pork and it was tender and delicious. My ribs were pretty good with my favorite part being the wet ribs. The dry part was overcooked and really dry and chewy. This was a bit of a disappointment. The BBQ beans were flavorful but a bit mushy. The Mac n cheese also mushy a bit but tasted better than it looked. I love great BBQ so I like Central BBQ but may have caught them on a bad day. Oh, they were out of a lot of T Shirt options/size I wanted too. Darn. I wanted to buy one. I would return and try the brisket, pulled pork or poultry items next time.

    There was a time when Central barbecue was the only place I would eat barbecue in Memphis. But food…read moreand service has ruined that. I visited the downtown location on 5/24/26 at 6:15 PM. I ordered wings and two dry slabs of ribs. When my family and I finally decided to eat the ribs on Monday, they were disgusting. They had seasoning caked all on them, and they were overly salty. We wiped off the caked-on seasoning and tried to eat around the saltiness. I was praying the 2nd slab was not the same. When I opened them on 5/27 to see, they were the same. I was trying to avoid calling because I just didn't feel like being bothered. But I called. I left a message for the manager to return my call that morning because "he is in the middle of an interview." So I called back that afternoon and was transferred to Ethan. I explained the situation to him. As I was speaking, he kept making the noise un-huh. So, I stopped talking and asked him what it meant aside from it just being rude as hell. He went on to explain that they missed a step and did not rub in the seasoning and shake it off. I don't care. It's an internal quality issue that should be handled with the prep and cook staff. Not me. He asked if I had my receipt and, in a tone that suggested he was doing me a favor, advised me that he would replace the slab. No apologies for the inconvenience or anything.   After my long workday, I went all the way downtown to get the slab replaced. In person, Ethan is just as rude. I asked if he was going to replace both slabs. He could clearly see the quality was trash. He said no and that he would only replace one. Then went on to offer me sides and a slice of cake. No, thank you. I can afford sides and cake just like I did those trash slabs of ribs. Those slabs of ribs cost $62.40 before taxes. With taxes probably being another 5 or 6 dollars. Your mistakes and poor quality should not cost me. He had a young lady bring the replacement slab back out to me. She didn't say thank you or anything. One thing I know is that a white man or woman patronizing your business would not have been treated this way. As a result, moving forward I will spend my Black woman dollars elsewhere on barbeque and smoked chicken wings. Also, I removed you all from my company's approved catering list where we spend a nice amount with you all yearly. Tell Ethan, thanks for helping me see the light and not spend money where I'm not respected and where my customer experience isn't valued.
