Barbecue, green beans and baked beans.
Valarie J.

Friendly staff and great ambience although the dining room was a little smoky although it didn't smell like smoke. The staff was great. We arrived late so our desired choice of ribs and catfish has sold out. My family of three got different items. The barbecue was not seasoned at all but I did enjoy the medium barbecue sauce. The green beans had bacon but otherwise unseasoned and needed salt and pepper. The baked beans were quite sweet which is not my personal preference. My husband got the blackened chicken and potatoes salad which is said were elementary also and finally my daughters got the country fried steak with gravy. With green beans and fries. I wish the food was a bit more seasoned. We enjoyed the conversation with the couple at the next table over.

The food is excellent. The waiters are really nice. I love the dessert. Also the ambience is great. It's the place where a scene from the movie Walk the Line was filmed.

Biggest size chopped pork sandwich with BBQ beans and sweet tea.

Bozo's dependable Memphis-style BBQ is served in an old school diner that really takes you back to the 50's and 60's. I'm not a fan of mayo-based slaw, but they also offer vinegar slaw, which paired well with the pork and medium sauce. Great service while I sat on a bar stool.

Taken from the Highway.Will post more.

Just stopped in on our way to check on some property and saw this Gem from the Highway. We ordered burgers and fries and also Fried Pies. The burgers were amazing nice and old fashion. The fries were well seasoned and hot...delicious The Cherry Fried Pie was Phenomenal! I've never had that before and I wished I ordered 2...Lol! This is a place you want to checkout and you will not be disappointed.

Take your pick of how you want to dress up that sandwich!

Do not go there for bbq. Serving pulled pork only and ribs on certain days does not make you a bbq restaurant. Will not stop there again.

They have the most tender, flavorful bbq in town. I've never had anything I didn't love there. My…read morefavorite is the chicken wrap. The owners and all of the staff are great! Would definitely recommend!

First of all we were those people. You know, the ones who come in just before closing. Ok it wasn't…read morejust before. They close at 8pm. I want to say we walked in around 7:30pm. But we were there until well after 8pm. I am sorry, but not now that I've eaten there. We had just gotten in to town from my sons, across the state. It's like an 8 hour drive. Anyway my BIL says let's go to BBQ. I'm thinking great, a sarcastic great, just what I want mediocre BBQ. Before you pop off with this is Memphis There's no such thing. I beg to differ. All others are mediocre compared to OUTLAW. First off our waitress was adorable. Cute as can be and that accent sent me into hysterics. She was absolutely a delight. We are late. The shift is ending and it's time to clean up and she greets us with not just a smile but the sweetest personality. That's service. Ok let's talk food. We ordered the meal for two. Catfish and ribs with two sides. Hubs doesn't just like catfish. That man can eat it like nobody's business. I ordered the ribs. Now comes the choices. Dry, wet or muddy. What? Is that another language. It sure is. This is Tennessee. We all know what dry rub is. Wet is BBQ Sauce. Muddy is both. Dry and wet. Whawhozy! Sides fried green tomatoes and BBQ beans were my choices. No pics because we descended on our food We didn't stop for lunch just drove all day long. Ergo ravenous, falling on our food hungry. Anywho, hubs took the fish. Here's a side note, I'm now allergic to fish and shellfish. All of it. It's a crying shame. Really it is. I miss it. Like a lot. His fish came with hush puppies. Those were like candy. So good. The fried green tomatoes had a side dipping sauce that was fantastic. Now the ribs. I couldn't cut them. They fell apart. I mean off the bone, melt in your mouth, feel the spicy burn, off the bone. I'm pretty sure I moaned but that's a personal problem. We will just skip that part. Oh and before I forget I cannot fail to mention my husband are half the ribs, too. Good service, friendly, quaint, open seating, large portions and lastly... the best BBQ I've had. We have a mediocre bbq place on the left coast where I live. This is not mediocre. I don't actually live ON the coast just the state that is known for its coastline. Thank You OUTLAW BBQ. We enjoyed our stop over and are now grade across country back to the land of mediocrity in the BBQ realm.

As per usual, I forgot pics - but imagine your grandma's cooking during a summer harvest from her…read moreown garden. A perfect meat and three. Everything was delicious. I had the veggie plate with butter beans (they were a bit sweet and limas, not true butter beans), fried squash (the slice it long ways and hand batter), spinach mashed potatoes, and deviled eggs (delicious, no notes). I tried both hush puppies and a roll. Personally, the hush puppies weren't my favorite, but the roll was buttery goodness:). Most importantly, I asked our server at the beginning if they still had chocolate cobbler and if they were running low to go ahead and bring it out. At first they had plenty, but a few minutes later cobbler was in front of me because she noticed it was running low. So dessert first! Don't mind if I do:) it was warm, gooey, and delicious. Others in my group had the chicken fried steak, and chicken tenders. Everyone was very happy with their meals! Service was great, though the kitchen was a little slow. It took about 30 mins to get our meals. Fun, old timey atmosphere - great service - and delicious home cooking. Will definitely be back.

As soon as you're seated, you'll have a tempting signboard presented at your table with every southern classic you can imagine. With entrees like fried chicken and catfish, endless sides like turnip greens, white beans, and just about anything you can imagine fried, and every kind of southern pie, it's all there. The catfish is magnificent, with that wonderfully gritty cornmeal batter surrounding flaky, tender fish. The complimentary roll is also delicious! And the servers are very nice here! But there are some downsides. The fried okra, my favorite southern side dish, is actually soft and soggy. No self respecting southerner would ever make soggy fried okra. It's about the worst I ever had. And the onion rings, which are hard to mess up, were burnt black and lacked flavor. They were inedible. The cashier is rude and doesn't have time for "thank you" or small talk or a smile or even giving you your receipt when nobody else is in line to pay their bill. That's just how it is. If you want good catfish, Sling Shot Charlie's will come through. But if you want a southern culinary experience that's enjoyable, there are much better places to have it!

I took the advice, and I'm really glad I did. It was fantastic--stacked with pulled pork, smoked sausage, and beef brisket, all topped with slaw and BBQ sauce on a bun. I also tried a bite of the barbecue bologna, which is a thick-cut slice served on white bread, and that didn't disappoint either. Inside gets pretty smoky, so you'll probably prefer sitting outside. Luckily, there are plenty of picnic tables and seating areas to choose from. I didn't catch the name of the guy who helped me, but he was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. Overall, a really enjoyable visit.
