We did a small day trip into Memphis from Little Rock and were looking for a spot for lunch and decided to try this place. We walked in and talked to the people behind the counter and basically said “what should we eat?” They recommended a few options and we went with the sausage, chopped beef, ribs (of course) and smoked turkey and mannnnn, I cannot get over how delicious everything was. And the atmosphere was so nice and the staff were great! I will definitely recommend this place and come back anytime I’m in town!

Me and husband was searching for great authentic bbq and omg this restaurant hands down did not disappoint. I would give 10 stars. Smoke flavor and falling off the bone ribs, brisket meat was delicious 🤤 omg turkey was soft and light. My husband tried the Texas Twinkie jalapeño was Amazing. Atmosphere was wonderful with the waitress and she even gave us a sample before ordering. It was our first time but definitely won’t be the last my tip was not enough. Thanks Bain BBQ

This place should be on Memphis' "Best of Memphis" list! The brisket is consistently tender, moist, and flavorful. If you want a true treat, get a Texas Twinkie (but get there early- they fo sell out)!

Had the Memphian sandwich washed down with an ice cold beer. This was the best Bar b Que sandwich hands down. The workers outside, in the kitchen and up front were extremely friendly, warm and inviting. My family usually eats here at least once a week traveling an hour away. Well worth the drive. Try this place! I promise you will NOT REGRET IT!!!! Thanks and great job guys! Everything was wonderful!

Food tastes good but the portion is absurdly small. I ordered the 2 meat plate that starts out at $24 and chose brisket for both meats, which was a $6 up charge bringing the total to $30. The problem is I only received 2 slices of brisket. I included a picture so others can see the portion size. Just 2 slices of brisket for a DOUBLE brisket 2 meat plate. That’s over $10 per slice of brisket. If I had ordered the 1 meat plate would it have just been one single slice for $19? On the bright side, the sausages are really good and adequately sized. Not sure if I’ll be returning though simply because of how insanely small the brisket portion is.

My first experience having brisket was definitely a good representation from what I heard about briskets. Food was incredible, staff were friendly and professional. I’m not a restaurant person, but I had a great time… since I’m traveling through, I can’t go there as often as I’d like, but I’d definitely visit again, next time I’m in the area.
Amazing staff and service! Great food! Only suggestion is do something about the stopped up hot sauce bottles… that’s it! Try it if you’re in the neighborhood bc it’s delicious.
