Marlowe's Ribs & Restaurant

Fun experience, had the ribs for 2 which were fall off the bone tender. The side of green beans didn’t have much flavor, but the corn fritters were moist and crunchy. I loved the atmosphere and the coziness of the place. We arrived around 8 on a Saturday night with no wait for 4. The gift shop was a fun add on, I bought a bottle of their sauce. Glad we stopped by during a road trip.

Driving through and remember hearing Memphis has good BBQ…so we searched and found this place. Boy, was it sooooo good! Sat promptly. Ordered 1/2 rack of ribs and the southern chicken tenders. The ribs were absolutely delicious! The chicken tenders were beyond good and the honey mustard sauce was the best! Highly recommend and would stop here again if in the area!

We wrapped up our Elvis-themed weekend with dinner here on Sunday night. The parking lot was nearly full and so was the bar inside, but the restaurant itself had plenty of open tables. We were seated quickly, and our food was served very quickly by a very friendly server as well. I ordered the BBQ chicken with corn fritters and Cole slaw. Fried okra was brought by mistake but quickly replaced. The okra was good, albeit not my thing in general - my friend thought it was bland and needed more salt. The cole slaw was generic and good. The corn fritters were the star of the sides! Well fried and sweet to bite into on the inside. I would love to eat those again. The dinner roll is also worth mentioning - I think it was fried, but whatever they did, it was seriously delicious. I'd ask for an extra next time. The chicken itself was perfect - practically falling off the bone after a long smoke, it was flavorful and nevertheless enhanced by the BBQ sauce (I asked for extra and then bought a bottle on my way out. Yum!) My friend ordered the brisket and ribs combo after the server told her they were the restaurants most popular meats. She ate all of both, which I understand to mean both were good! She was underwhelmed by her sides (she also got French fries which were cooked well but just basic), but totally charmed by the gift shop, and its fair to say we both left stuffed and happy. I paid about $20 for my meal (with a soda), which I thought was reasonable and on par with other meals on this vacation. I'd eat here again!
