Ok, so I was leaving Memphis and my flight was showing 90 minute delay... i didn't want to travel…read moretoo far (since I was already near the airport)... I began scouring Yelp. I came across a bunch of different places with varying reviews. I finally settled on Tom's Barbeque. The tldr is I'm so glad to have enjoyed my meal here. It's in what seemed to be a local working class neighborhood. I'll be honest, as I was driving there I second guessed where I was going. I pulled up to the parking lot and sat there a couple minutes further contemplating if it was a good idea. I don't know the area, maybe I was just overthinking it and there was no reason to be apprehensive(?) I eventually went in and it's a cool little building. I was warmly greeted and had a nice brief chat with the folks behind the counter. I didn't see exactly what I was looking for on the menu...so I finally just asked him for what I wanted to see if it was an option. He said no problem and got me hooked up. I have to say, it was the best pulled pork I've ever had. The combination of flavor and texture was out of this world. I seek out barbecue places all across the country, and I can definitely say this was the best pulled pork I've had. I got a side of mac & cheese, which by appearance I didn't think I would love. It looked a little little bit like nacho cheese sauce... but much like this place, don't judge a book by its cover and take a bite. The mac & cheese was awesome. When I was done eating, I had the chance to chat with them for a few more minutes. Awesome folks, very welcoming and a pleasure to meet them. Next time I'm in town, I will certainly go back. The quality of food here was far better than any of the touristy, bougie barbecue places I've been in Memphis. As a side note incase anyone is bored and still reading this... just because your flight shows delayed by 90 mins doesn't mean it will stay that way. As I was pulling up to the airport, I got a notification it was only going to be a 15 minute delay (not 90 like the prior notification said). My first reaction was UPSET, like darn, I'm gonna miss this flight. My next thought was "oh well, I already know that Tom's is open tomorrow :) " ended up making the flight, but if I hadn't, I would've certainly come back for another awesome meal the next day!

Never had Memphis bbq so we were super excited to try this place that's been on triple D…read more Also, my rating might be a little biased due to spending lots of time in TX Owner was extremely nice, ambiance felt homey Staff was attentive Pretty slow when we got there, not many patrons as it was mid afternoon but the two customers that were there looked happy eating their meals Sandwich was severely dry, but a GREAT portion size, the thing was huge. They def didn't skimp on the protein so I give them that. Next time I'll just put a lot more of their spicy bbq sauce on it Disappointed in the sandwich, & didn't get the onions/pickles I asked for but the chopped chicken, & sausage were pretty good Coleslaw was surprisingly pretty good as well But their spicy bbq sauce was GREAT!!! will definitely be back to try their ribs this time

I have had SUCH a hard time finding something similar in Memphis, but this place finally comes close to those NYC halal food carts. I got a mixed (beef and chicken) rice plate, and it tasted like home. One star off because the employee at the time (this was a Sunday night, so they might rotate) never actually uttered a word during our whole interaction (I was just expected to know that a death glare from the back of the cart meant "please yell at me what you want to eat"), but that food...I will be back! The place is on Macon in a parking lot that is set up specifically for food trucks, and it might look sketchy, but it's in a nice neighborhood.

You can order them in plates or platters also. See the menu pictures. The meat was very flavorful and the pita bread good. Also got some hummus and it was very good and was generous in portion and came with pita chips. At another visit I had the falafel and found it to be very good. Service was good. You order at the counter and then find a table to dine in. The place is pretty clean. They also seem to have an open spit for roasting the meat and they carve some of the meat for platter dishes from that. The fountain drinks are self serve.

What in the actual can of Veg*All? I asked for extra vegetables; not only no extra vegetables but…read morewhat few veggies WERE there were from a bag of frozen mixed vegetables... cubed carrots and overcooked peas... might have been canned. Nothing was fresh; no broccoli or mushrooms or baby corns or water chestnuts. There was almost no flavor... could taste the white rice underneath. I'm very disappointed ‐ I ordered this exact dish from the midtown location for YEARS. I miss the original Mulan... this was generic, Temu Mulan. Some was eaten because I was hangry, and now I'm just angry.

Yall, this place is really good! My first visit and I told the guy I was thinking about the chicken…read moreshawarma or the gyro, he said the chicken shawarma so I went with that. And it was definitely the right choice for me. Filled with chicken, garlic, lettuce, pickles and it was yummy goodness. I ordered a side of fries, they weren't anything special, but they were made right as I ordered. My friend ordered the falafel sandwich and the Fattoosh side salad. The salad is pretty big and can be shared and the Lebanese dressing was light and refreshing. She enjoyed her sandwich. Everything was prepared to order and made right in front of you. You can order to go or eat in. Service was quick and the place got busy quick. They also serve breakfast, but I didn't see a menu for that. If you haven't visited please do! The place isn't huge, you seat yourself, we paid at the end of our meal. Will definitely return
