Small BBQ place that has some great stuff. Their beef bbq nachos were interesting. You can order them mild or hot. I went for the mild with jalapeño peppers on top. Tasty! read more

The good- the food was really good. If you like a little spicy- ask for the mild and spicy sauce 'mixed' it was perfect on my pulled pork sandwich. The sandwich is too messy to eat so make sure you get a fork. Husband ordered the beef brisket plate so he had a side of coleslaw and a side of baked beans. The baked beans were very reminiscent of bushes baked beans and the coleslaw is mayonnaise based and fantastic. The bad- the floor is super sticky and really needs a good scrubbing! Also, there was a pretty loud TV that had a comedian on that was pretty raunchy, dropping F bombs and stuff. Once a family came in I believe the mom asked them to turn it down, They changed the channel to Sanford and sons (love that show). Anyway, maybe they weren't aware. Service people were super friendly and they do a brisk business here. We'd come back if we were locals. About $27 for my sandwich (7.99) and hubs plate (17.99) with two waters. read more

Big Bill's Bar-Be-Que - Brisket plate with two sides and a pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

The bbq and smoked sausage are really good here. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. The sauce was a little spicy and the rib tips were the perfect size to feel like it's more than enough. I made sure to save some to bring back to Houston. This was through delivery but it was packed well and no leaking with the sauces and sides of Mac and cheese which was ok and bbq baked beans which I would def get again. The smoked sausage had the slaw and toasted bun. I was really hoping I didn't leave with tasting some good bbq and glad I came across Big Bill's. read more

The customer service was the only thing good i experienced here. My wife ordered the cheeseburger and it was a store bought burger patty (which we are ok with) however the burger was severely undercooked and the fries were too salty. I ordered the Rib tip plate and the rib tips had no seasoning at all. I should have taken the food back but I did not. read more

I chose to come in based on the reviews. I live in Bartlett, but I was in Cooper Young area when I decided I was in the mood for BBQ. I drove the extra 15 minutes to get here. The place looked clean. There were just a few people inside so my wait was short. After I ordered a rib plate, it came out within 10 minutes. I enjoyed the ribs and my sides. The ribs were tender and the sauce was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place. It is a small establishment, so it's f you have a large party, you should order for carry out. Go 901!! read more

Big Bill's Bar-Be-Que - pulled pork mixed with cole slaw and bbq sauce - Barbeque Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

This was my first time purchasing food from Big Bill's BBQ and I was not disappointed. The food was served hot and it was delicious. I ordered two jumbo beef bbq sandwiches combos. The sandwiches were fresh and season to perfection. The fries were season and very fresh. I was truly impressed with the service I received when I first walked through the door. The cashier who took my order was very attentive and friendly. When I went they were doing some remodeling and it looks as though it's going to make a customer have a great dining experience. The atmosphere was very pleasant and relaxing. read more

Delicious and the sweetest folks. Highly recommend. Was looking for a quick bite close by Graceland. Give this place a try!!

I decided to get big bills the whitehaven location for lunch today. I got the smoked sausage with slaw with spaghetti as my side. I'm so mad I didn't get to take pictures because I'm not even gone lie that smoked sausage was Fire like the best smoked sausage and slaw I ever had. The spaghetti def wasn't for me. All the pictures looked good of it but the spaghetti I got didn't have no meat only noodles and sauce. The sauce was pretty tasty but I don't like noodles enough just to be eating noodles and sauce. Lol next time imma stick with my first mind and get baked beans. I'm giving this place 4 stars for the friendly workers, clean space and that fye ass smoked sausage. Just a tip if you like meaty spaghetti this ain't it. read more

Let's see, to begin with the food here was super good. The ribs were fall off the bone and very smoky. The green beans were so well seasoned! The Cole slaw was very cold and delicious. I had a brisket sandwich that was perfect. Prices were good . You pay and order at the counter. The girl at the counter was sweet and friendly. We are traveling and this was a great choice! read more

I'm only giving three stars because I ordered the brisket when I really should've stayed true to myself and stuck to the ribs. Although the brisket was very dry and lacked flavor, the people in my party who ordered the ribs were very satisfied. Their sides were tasty though! read more

Brisket was dry. The ribs were just awful. Very dry and tasteless. It seemed like they gave us ribs that had been sitting around all day. They get a couple of stars for great coleslaw, great barbecue sauce and for giving us great service. read more

Ordered a Turkey burger from a local BBQ spot for the first time. ‍ So I show the manager this pic and brought back the rest of the burger. She states that initially it didn't look raw to her from the pic and from the remains of the burger because she thought it was just wet. Then she states that she wished I hadn't ate so much of it. Ma'am, how would I've known that my turger burger would be raw until I took a bite. On top of that, she says that if I come back, to make sure I ask to get my burger well done. ‍ I recieved a refund for my burger only but come on lady. Smh. What's hilarious is that your first thought wasn't my health and safety, nor the concern of what your staff is doing but of how much I actually ate. Lol I've worked in many restaurants and now I see why people cut up on managers. The thing is if I was gonna sue, I wouldn't have returned asking for a refund. I just wanted to bring it to their attention but she made it seem as If I wanted to get over on her or if I was imposing by bringing this to her attention. I understand the mistake, I worked in restaurants and I cater but Dont be rude and unapologetic about it. I know the power of not returning to an establishment and I don't like commenting negatively on small businesses but their lack professionalism and customer consideration is down right negligent. Y'all pray for my stomach. read more

Ordered a Take-Out meal from Big Bill's Bar-be-que, which turned out pretty good. Traveling through Memphis, so of course I'm going to get bar-be-que from a local restaurant! Glad I did! I think the meal would've been better dinning-in. Didn't want the bread getting too thoroughly soaked in sauce, so I asked for it on the side. Since I'm traveling, I got the mild sauce. I'm very curious how good the other heats and flavors are. The pulled pork sandwich was great! Smokey! The salmon nachos were nice too, the prime issue being the chips. They seemed a little stale for my tastes. I like a crispy chip. I would try Big Bill's BBQ again for sure, perhaps the ribs or the turkey leg. Definitely going to try those sauces! read more

Maybe we should've stuck with barbecue but my wife ordered fried fish with hush puppies--Ugh! Fried to the point of being hard. My burger was okay but ... read more

Good, good, good!! I recently started getting BBQ here and I am so glad I did! Firstly, they allow online orders (THANK YOU!!), second, the order is always accurate and hot, and last, the food is GOOD!!! I always get the chopped chicken combo and a time or two I got the chopped salmon sandwich, always topped with coleslaw. I always get the medium hot sauce on the side. I've never had chopped salmon bbq sandwich but this one is bomb! The place is clean inside and the parking is plentiful. Give them a try!! read more

The bbq meals are always an added bonus after visiting the Nike Store nearby. Even when Nike doesnt have any good shoes. Big Bill BBQ never disappoints. I case I didnt mention this in past reviews. This is a place locals frequent. So you know you can go wrong. Sometimes a line out the door. So plan ahead to possibly of waiting in line for a while. read more

Place is solid. Nice staff, decent food, good prices, nothing spectacular but gets the job done. I tried the catfish and the pulled pork, although that's not what I ordered. They tend to serve you different things than you order in my limited experience. Still, I wouldn't discourage anyone from coming here. Good place, just nothing more than that. read more

Good BBQ, sketchy neighborhood. We wanted to get some good BBQ before we drove over to Graceland so we stopped here. It is a real hole in the wall with good food. The neighborhood is not so great. There was a guy asking for money out front and a guy asked for money while we were in the place. It is a run down place, but the food was very good. If you are looking for authentic Memphis BBQ, this is a good place, but keep your eyes open. read more

We were in town to see Graceland. I looked on Yelp and saw the reviews were favorable so we tried it. I had a 1/2 rack of, fall of the bone ribs, they were awesome!!! My wife had a Turkey Burger, she said it was the best she had ever had. Don't do the chains, support Big Bills! read more

This must be the local hot spot no one wants tourists to know about. We stumbled in after just driving by before heading to Graceland. It the best hole in the wall spot we have ever found!! I had a simple baloney bbq sandwich with slaw on the side and I'm still craving it 2 months later!!! My husband had a pulled pork sandwich he still talks about. The only downside was it was super Smokey from the pit our eyes were watering. But that's almost Irrelevant since the food was so good!!!!! read more

I absolutely love their pulled pork sandwiches. Their portions are generous. Add the strawberry cake if you have room for dessert. It's good. read more

Great, great and more great! I'm impressed and wish I had photos to show but I ate it all up. Had the sausage, bologna, ribs and brisket. Sauce was spicy and delicious! Cole slaw fresh! Soft white bread to soak it all up! The friendliest staff I've encountered all day! Can't recommend enough and I'm a foodie from NY and New Orleans! read more

This restaurant came highly recommended,I'm sitting here now waiting on my orders,, but 1st I must say Amanda the cashier is by far the rudest person I've ever encountered,, I really hope the food is better than the terrible service read more

Fries were excellent. Wish I would have gotten the hot BBQ sauce instead of mix as it did not seem hot at all.

The front is clean, ladies behind the counter where nice, price was right, service was fast, and the food quantity and quality was good. I would go back without thinking about it. read more

Staff nice, brisket sandwich is the bomb!!! Resurant clean. Kitchen staff were the best

I love barbecue. I mean I really love barbecue. It's quite possibly my favorite food. I travel all across the USA for work (literally Miami to Seattle) and have made a point to stop at everyone's favorite BBQ spots all across the south. This place just made my top 3. The meat is delicious, spicy sauce has a real kick, coleslaw is fresh and not too sweet, and the staff is sweet as can be! Might be in a strip mall, but it feels like a proper BBQ shack none the less; a smoky haze hangs thickly in the air, full of the smell of satisfaction. read more

Very nice remolded eatery. I ordered the bbq pork plate it was very tasty with nice portions. Also the rib tips plate was good also. Now the hamburger (Street Burger)on the other hand was a plan old frozen beef patty with all the fixings. They make better burgers at Sonic. I'll will be back read more

Great Barbecue and sides. The fries are fabulous. I recommend the pulled pork sandwich with slaw or the ribs.

Don't get me wrong the food is good but the cashier there, not so much. I called in a Togo order, a pulled pork bbq sandwich which was good. Could've been more spicy but other than that I had not problem. My problem is when I ordered over the phone the young lady said that I would have to pay over the phone since it's to go. I had no problem doing so.. everything was fine until 2 hours later I got a notification that someone attempted to make a $500+ purchase off my card. Long story short DO NOT place Togo order over the phone!! You will get scammed or she will try to get your money. This is not the first time this has happened to someone In my Family. I would Like to enjoy supporting black owned businesses without thinking someone is trying to take my money read more

I stopped in to Big Bill on a recommendation and the food was good. The Turkey leg I got was so huge and the potato salad was delicious. I wish they didn't drown the leg in so much sauce or let me pour it on myself. I recommend asking for it on the side so you can another to your degree of liking. Other than that this place is a solid and I will continue to dry other places. read more

Was in Memphis, TN a while back. We flew in and tried to find an eatery close by. We chose Big Bill's Bar-Be-Que. It was packed, but the wait wasn't long at all. You order at the counter and they bring it out to you. The atmosphere was excellent and the food was great! I had the brisket and pork butt and they both were fantastic! It is just down from Graceland. If you're in the area, and love BBQ, give this place a try. You won't be sorry. The service was great, too!! read more
