Cozy Corner

Stopping into Memphis the first time and had to try the best barbecue Memphis had to offer according to the web. The outside of the place is nothing to write home about, but don't judge a book by its cover. Loved the ribs. Loved the whole BBQ chicken wings. The slaw was great. The beans were fantastic. The whole chicken was well cooked and well seasoned on the skin but I needed more sauce. The sliced pork shoulder to me was odd. I've never seen it done that way. It was good but it wasn't pulled pork obviously. It was lightly smoked. But the sauce was great on it, spicy. All in all the food was excellent and the sweet tea was great. The interior seating was cafeteria style as expected in an awesome barbecue place. plenty of napkins each table and all was pretty clean. The ordering of the food was efficient and the employees were pleasant. The management was great when we had a slight issue with our order they quickly took care of the issue. I love this place and I would go back when in town.

Okay, so I must admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the changes made to this establishment. I hadn't been here in years and I am pleased that it has survived the many ebbs and flows of the neighborhood. Cool. We each tried something different and each had varied pleasure results. My husband LOVED his ribs. Per him, they were well seasoned, tender and plated beautifully. As for my rib tips?? The first bite had me hooked until I continued to eat. They became less flavorful, less meaty, less tender and more bones! Would I go back? Yes, bc I did taste the ribs and they were delicious! And the people were friendly and salt of the Earth goodness!

Showed up at dinner rush and was told about a 30 minute wait for ribs so we ordered both ribs and wings so we had something to eat while we waited. Wait time was pretty accurate, it really did take 30ish minutes but they were really good. Good prices. Large portions. The decor was lacking not that it matters too much. But literally just a bunch of nonmatching tables and chairs in the back. It's all good, they focus on the food!

After raving about the amazing BBQ at Rendezvous, a Memphis staple, a local chimed in with a golden tip: "If you really want the best BBQ in Memphis, you have to check out Cozy Corner." And she was absolutely right!

47 years, same location, Saturday at 12 the parking lot is full. Got in line and had my order placed in a few minutes and watched a steady stream of people picking up to go and the dining room filled up quickly. I ordered both the sandwich and the ribs and that was a great decision. Picked the medium sauce which has a very slight ‘zing’ to it. Well pleased. Topped that off with a shared slice of sweet potato pie and that made a perfect lunch. Great service by Isiah. I’ll be back.
