But, in contrast to his review, I think the beans are unique. Sure, they may be canned beans, but the hearty addition of pulled pork makes them pretty fine. And the simplicity of the food's delivery (packaging) makes Manning's BBQ authentic. A slab of ribs foiled wrapped and placed in a plastic bag with the addition of a styrofoam cup of beans? Nice!

I got the BBQ (pulled pork) plate with dirty rice and french fries as my two sides. The pulled pork was good but I wasn't a big fan of the bbq sauce that was on top. Redeeming factor: they had Big Bob Gibson white sauce as an option on the table of sauces. Nice! The dirty rice had potential to be extremely tasty but had many pieces that were quite hard...as if it spent a little too much time under the heat lamp. The fries were fresh and excellent - crinkle cut deliciousness. The mister ordered the ribs and fries. Smart move because both were excellent. I was jealous and wished I had ordered the same. Soft drinks are canned....and $1....lame. Drinks are self serve. Tea is located on a table off to the side close to the cooler for the canned drinks. You order and pay at the counter. There is a chalkboard menu to choose from and there is also a hot bar (similar to what you would find in a gas station) full of foods to choose from.

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.

I ordered the rib tips simply because you don't see them a lot. I also got the fried green tomatoes and the sweet potato casserole that was highly recommended by the staff.

The rib tips were almost overcooked, not as tender as I'm used to but still good. The fried tomatoes were fried perfectly and needed a touch of salt at the end. I would return and try the brisket on the next visit.
