Central BBQ ordered pulled pork and wings. Wings were 10/10 - smoked and flash fried with buffalo sauce. Some of the best I’ve ever had. Pulled pork was solid. Fries were average. Great atmosphere- but carpet and smell is showing it’s age. But definitely check them out. My friend ordered the ribs and said they were fantastic.
We are visiting Memphis for the 1st time and it was recommended we visit. Big restaurant, lots of parking and seating. You can either take it to go when you come in or sit for service. Our waitress Nene was great. She gave us honest feedback on the items, was quick and set up the sauces, cutlery, napkins etc perfectly without asking.
The ambiance was fun with themed pictures, sports paraphernalia and had an old family style. The chicken was smoked to perfection, not dry and you can get it sauced or just with the dry rub. The salads were great and the sides were the perfect amount with a lot of flavor
Textbook BBQ and Hometown Favorite. I recommend sampling everything! There is something for everyone.
We were passing through but love barbecue so we thought we'd give it a whirl. My daughter got the portobello sandwich and she loved it. I got the pulled pork and it was very good. Not fatty or drowning in bbq sauce. The hub got ribs. The ribs were very good. I'm kinda persnickity about my greens and they were good here.
Do you want some good sausage and brisket? You got to come here. And the pork rinds are crunchy and tasty too.
We went for lunch yesterday. The food is usually good. The ribs were fantastic and the sausage was too. The pork was a little dry but adding the sauce makes it come back to life. The lady at the counter didn’t say too much and when I asked for a menu to look at she handed me one without even looking at me. She didn’t say much to get our order either, maybe having a long day. They do have social distancing and the guys who brought out the food were nice. It’s my favorite bbq place.
Pulled pork was juicy, baked beans were flavorful (pork in them), potato salad was chunky with egg and sooo good. Wish they homemade rolls to go with the other great food. Definitely try this place!!!
I ordered the pull pork sandwich. Great meal to have if your hungry and from out of town. Also tried all the cakes 🍰, moist and soft. Chocolate is my favorite. The Carmel was also good, nice and sweet. We also ordered the sampler, the sauce on wings is good! Comes with a little bit of everything for everyone to try. Being from Texas pickles, onions& jalapeños are an odd thing to ask for. But they kindly gave us diced onions. 😀 Thank you Memphis Central BBQ for giving us out-of-towners a great bbq meal ☺️☺️
Great ribs. I suggest getting the full rack of ribs dry. They have their sauces on the side that you can choose from and then you can get all of them to try. The potato salad was on point. I wish I would have gotten some greens too, but maybe next time.
My first visit. Excellent food and service. The desserts are delicious. I had the chocolate cake.
