Not my kind of ribs. Overcooked and dry. Only two types of sauce, hot and hotter. I prefer barbecue from Florida and Georgia. With a sweet sauce. Coke slaw was odd it had dill or dill pickles in it. Just because I didn't like it doesn't mean that it is not barbeque. Try for yourself.

The service was good and they were attentive to my needs even though they were busy.
I got the brisket and dry rib combo. It was a lot of delicious food that kept me filled for the rest of the day. Would highly reccomend.

Best ribs I've ever had. The photo of Eric should be admired by everyone. The staff are warm and inviting, so much like family. Coleslaw is different from any I have tried before, new taste very nice. I can't say enough to express how much everyone needs to try this place at least once.

A fellow chef recommended the bbq shop for my quick stop in Memphis. The woman at the hostess stand was welcoming and funny! Our waitress got our food order in quick and was really nice. The dry rub ribs are the best I’ve ever had, all of the sides were equally as good. We were so pleased with all of the food. I left my purse hanging on the back of my chair and thankfully they found it and had it saved for me or the rest of my trip would’ve been pretty bad! Great management and staff. Thanks to everyone here for being so kind and accommodating.

Great BBQ. Glazed and dry run ribs were fall off the bone delicious and then pulled pork melted in your mouth. Highly recommend the potato salad, too.

Was our first impression of Memphis and their barbecue and honestly blew my mind and has been one of if not the best barbecue I’ve had from a restaurant. Staff are very friendly and portions were great for the prize. Also, after trying the barbecue spaghetti, my fiancé wants me to try and re-create it as it was one of her favorite things there.😂

Watched a YouTube video about the ribs, I drove 13 hours from Minneapolis Minnesota to eat these ribs and I would do it again. The owner Eric sat us at our table, incredibly nice guy, our waitress was amazing. The food..Holy crap was it good. The ribs were fricken amazing! The BBQ spaghetti was mind blowingly good. The beans, the baked beans were so unbelievably delicious. I will definitely be making that drive again.

Ill start with, I'm extremely picking when it comes to BBQ and have been disappointed with every place I have tried BBQ in Memphis, until today. I was NOT disappointed at all today! Great experience!
Got there at 11:08 and were seated directly, Carl got our drinks immediately and within 10 min we had our food. When in Rome... do like the Roman's roght?. So I ordered the original rib dinner, 1/2 and 1/2, and added a side of the spaghetti. The ribs were on point. They had good texture, tenderness, and excellent flavor. Its so hard to find ribs at restaurants that aren't over cooked, so it was very nice to have a good rack for once in a long time.
The beans and slaw were good and accompanied the flavor of the rib glaze well.
While the spaghetti wasn't really my thing, it wasn't a bad dish by any means. I'm glad I tried it, embrace your sense of adventure and try it yourself, you might really like it.
I'll be stopping here again when I come through Memphis next.
