I'm going to be honest I didn't go to the restaurant but I did send a friend at my food. I called in my order here and I got the Pull Pork Sandwich deal. The service over the phone was great as expected but I'm mad bc as a first timer at this establishment I specifically asked the guy over the phone (Best side) he told me "Mac n cheese" . This was the one of the nastiest Mac I've ever tastes. One word! Commercialized foods aren't a good look. There's nothing quality about that. Find a new recipe. Ambience i guessing it is nice.
Stopped in for a quick lunch on our road trip, since we wanted to try some Memphis BBQ. The line to order wasn't long but took awhile to get through. Luckily our food came out pretty quick after ordering. We split the Pork BBQ Nachos, which they claim to be "The Best in Memphis!" Not sure if they tasted any better than other BBQ nachos I've had anywhere else, but the pulled pork itself was very good. The chips were a bit stale. Still filled the two of us up. Would probably try out a different item next time I'm in town.
This is where you go for Memphis BBQ! The pulled pork is divine. Make sure you save room for the banana pudding! It's incredible. Worth every calorie.
Visiting from out of town on a work trip and this establishment was a recommendation. This is okay bbq... I have had worse and definitely had better. With that being said service was fast and friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance was exactly what you would expect for a bbq joint.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The brisket was juicy but the Mac and cheese was a miss and this is a personal preference the Cole slaw had too much celery seed.
As a recommendation we went here for our 1 and only night in Memphis to experience real bbq. We were so disappointed. On our plate the bbq beans were the best! The meat was all dry. The pulled chicken was the best but only with enough sauce on it. The brisket was so tough- we expected fall off the bone tender brisket from TN but this sliced tough meat was not it. With so many bbq places to choose from we would recommend trying somewhere else. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have 2 stars bc the staff was very friendly, the food came out fast, and the place has a cute ambiance![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
We really enjoyed the brisket and baked beans! The slaw was forgettable and the pork nachos lacked kick in favor of too much cheese sauce but the brisket was amazing! Cool to see MN stickers on the door.
Visiting Memphis, I was told this was the BBQ place to check out. It was conveniently located. Located behind the National Civil Rights Museum, I could smell the smoke walking up to the front door. After queueing up in front of the counter, I put in for an order of Ribs (felt like the Memphis thing to do.) [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was quiet inside for a 5 PM on a Friday, perhaps I was in early before the dinner rush.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got my ribs half wet, half dry. To me, the ribs were done in the St. Louis style, where it was all about the seasoning, vs. a "fall off the bone" tenderness that is taking over social media nowadays. Talking about seasoning, I was a fan of the Mac and Cheese- often where the sides take a backseat, I was impressed to enjoy such a well seasoned side. While I didn't get a chance to try their Brisket (my gold standard for judging BBQ) the ribs show enough promise that Memphis can hold its own when it comes to 'cue.
Let's start with the good. Customer service was great, staff were friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant was clean, cool environment to be in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered the 3 meat plate with one of the meats being ribs. Ribs were cooked amazingly well but a little soft for my liking. Pulled pork was OK, not a ton of flavor to it. Now the bad.... Worst brisket I have ever had in my life. When you slice brisket paper thin it means you didn't cook it long enough. Flavor was not good either. Had to use their bbq sauce to choke it down and that wasn't even that good. Mac n' cheese tasted like it was from a box. I am from the Midwest and we obviously have a different style of bbq here compared to Memphis but I wouldn't go back. Really surprised it was the highest recommended bbq restaurant for Memphis. Just my midwestern 2 cents.
I wasn't too much of a fan of Central Barbecue. Coming from St. Louis and being used to great barbecue both locally and in Kansas City, I'll admit I had high expectations. It also wasn't our first choice of places to try in Memphis. Overall, it was just okay, but I did enjoy the baked beans, greens and the potato salad was probably the best. [[HIGHLIGHT]]That said, if you're visiting the Civil Rights Museum nearby, it's within walking distance and a perfectly fine place to grab a meal while you're in the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
Passing through the Memphis area (I was actually across the bridge in West Memphis, Arkansas), I figured Central BBQ was probably my best bet to try some local barbecue--about as close to Nashville as I was going to get. One thing I noticed right away is that sausage or links don't seem very popular around here. They weren't on the menu, and I didn't see them at many other BBQ spots either. I ended up ordering the beef brisket plate and specifically asked for lean cuts. "Lean" must mean something completely different in this part of the country, because what I received was a pile of very thinly sliced brisket with the fat still very much intact. It was definitely... interesting to look at. I made the most of it. The BBQ sauces ranged from typical mild and hot options to a mustard-based sauce. The "hot" sauce tasted like regular BBQ sauce mixed with hot sauce--not bad, just not very distinctive. The green beans were basic, and the mac and cheese had what seemed like a light sprinkle of red pepper. Portions overall were on the small, sample-size side. With the roll, I expected a homemade offering of lovingly baked dough. What I got was what looked like store bought dinner rolls. All in all, it was just average. Honestly, the most memorable part of the meal was the local interpretation of "lean cuts."
Loved the Mac n cheese and onion rings for sides. Brisket had pretty good flavor and was quite tender, I guess I was expecting it to be a little more fatty. Service was really good and friendly, I could tell they get quite busy. It's a bit of a walk from the main downtown area but right across the street from the Civil Rights Museum.
Loved everything about Central BBQ -- can't wait to go back! The dry rub was outstanding -- amazing flavor and cooked perfectly. The pulled pork sandwich with the hot BBQ sauce? Unreal. Don't sleep on the BBQ chicken nachos, mac 'n' cheese, or green beans either [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of seating inside and out, and even if there's a line, the food comes out fast (like 5 minutes fast).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
It was all a lie. After hearing such raving reviews about the bbq in Memphis and this was highly recommended I can honestly say I was so disappointed. This was the driest brisket I have ever had. The side portions being shoved into a small container threw me off and just a Hawaiian roll. Nothing special. The brisket lacked so much flavor I used every sauce that was available, the green beans were just as bland. The baked beans were pretty decent but I just couldn't believe I paid $20 for that plate. Not much to say about the service except the bus boys were pretty efficient getting tables cleaned up and available for the next customers as there was a big rush of students. They came in right after me oh and the music selection that was playing was pretty good as well, but other than that, I have nothing else to say about this restaurant I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Review Insights
Overall good! The plates are well sized, including the kids meals. If you get a sandwich, you cannot change the sides. Good flavor, brisket is good. Super clean, you have a lot people coming around making sure everything is clean and taken care of. Three different seating options, inside, inside with live music and outdoors. Great ambiance and not super loud, even for lunch. read more
We stopped in at Central after visiting the Lorraine Motel right across the street. There was a line to order out the door, so be sure to bring comfy shoes to stand in. My husband had the pulled pork bbq plate and I had the mushroom burger. Our food arrived very quickly after ordering and was very good. For the cost, I would suggest skipping the sides-they weren't spectacular and seemed a bit expensive for the amount you received. The bbq on the other hand was great! They had plenty of sauces and heat levels to pick from so there is certainly something for any bbq lover. Unfortunately we didn't find out until after we ordered it that they were out of the banana pudding, we opted for the chocolate cake instead and it was good. The sauce station was also a nice bonus, so if you are torn between two sauces have no fear, you can try them all! read more
Those chicken wings!! We sampled lots of things and didn't find anything we didn't like. It's a large interior and the staff is very nice. Plenty of seating, self-serve sauces and drinks, generous portions. The mild sauce was our favorite. "Gold sauce" is strongly mustard, if you like that. The only sauce we didn't like was the hot - just not our pick. Coconut cake was stupid good!! read more

Great BBQ spot in downtown. One of the many locations in the area. The service was quick and easy. You order and pay upon arrival. You'll be given a number and get to sit at any open spots. Plenty of seating inside and out. The BBQ nachos were delicious - we added brisket onto ours and got a full size (there's also a half size). They have my partner's favorite wings in town! A chill lunch spot. Plus, their sweet iced tea is delicious read more
The barbecue really was just OK. The ribs were decent. The brisket was not good. Rubbery almost. Not a lot of flavor. Apparently Memphis is not a good place for brisket because this was the second restaurant. We had a bad experience. The ambience is awesome. It's counter service and then they carry your food out to you. They have decent selection of local tap beers. Three stars for the food, four stars for the ambience so I rounded up to four stars. Overall, I would say this is a 3 1/2 star experience. read more
Central BBQ I received a few recommendations of bbq places to try in Memphis and this was on the list. Lucky for us it was walking distance to where I was so we went work a big group of friends. The customer service was great from everyone! The line was a little long but you order at the front and then you seat yourself and there was plenty of seating for our big group. I ordered a full slab of ribs (with the sauce on it) and a combo platter with chicken and 2 orders of brisket. For my sides, I had the mac and cheese, beans and a salad. I also ordered a slice of cheesecake for dessert and the meal came with a roll. I have to be honest I was not impressed at all. The ribs were just okay. The brisket was not brisket-int the way brisket should brisket. They seemed like pre-packaged strips as opposed to cut from a whole brisket. We expected a chicken bird (as in like leg and thigh or breast) but we received shredded chicken and they didn't mention that to us up front that the combo would only allow for shredded chicken. The Mac and cheese didn't have much flavor to me and didn't seem baked. I didn't try the beans but my brother was not impressed. The only thing that was really good to me was the cheesecake and that could just be because I'm a sweets girl. Maybe I'm biased because I'm from Texas but I was pretty disappointed because the reviews I heard were very high! read more

Fried bologna sandwich, pulled pork, brisket, and chicken fingers lunches. All served will BBQ sauce. Yummy Mac and cheese and green beans. Cooler on the patio than inside. Family atmosphere. Order at counter and food delivered to table. Nice staff. read more

Where is the hype?!? $30.00 Combo plate of meats (brisket, turkey, chicken) served lukewarm - taken back came back only thing warm was the dry chicken. Oh, I have pictures. Sides - potatoe salad definitely store made and the mac and cheese most definitely is powered cheese craft like. Service was cool. You are greeted, you walk up place your order, find a seat and they'll bring it out. Disappointing as everyone seems to suggest "Central BBQ" - nothing to write home about. It's a BBQ spot overall clean and not too loud. read more

I have mixed feelings about central bbq, but overall i enjoyed it. first off, theres 2 lines. 1 for pick up and 1 to order. head to the counter, order and then sit. your food will be delivered. i loved that they had all 3 styles of their sauces off to the side for you to try or add onto your meat. very friendly and patient staff. the banana pudding is absolutey amazing, i highly suggest you get it. so many bananas, its thick, and i love the topping. the sides of potatoe salad was amazing. not too mayo forward, thick, nice size potatoes, and good flavor. the mac was okay, it was juicy and moist, but i wouldnt say it was the best side of mac i had. their 3 sauces are to die for. i loved the spicy one the most. to be honest, the sour one was up there too. i grabbed the plate of the half chicken. im glad i grabbed the sauces. to be honest, i felt it was kinda dry. i appreciated the skin, but overall i wouldnt come back for this chicken. i just dont think this style of BBQ is for me. like i said, im glad i grabbed the sauces since this isnt a dry rub or sauce forward style, but more of a slow smoke so they let the smoke do the work. read more

One of our goals when I travel with my good friend from college is to hit up well known BBQ joints in the regions we visit. This year Memphis was on our itinerary so "Memphis Style BBQ" was on our list, and Central BBQ was one of the places we were determined to visit. On a beautiful Sunday afternoon we decided to visit the National Civil Rights Museum and go out for BBQ afterwards. When I fired up my Yelp App I was delighted to see that one of Central BBQ's locations was right next door to the museum -c so our itinerary for the day was set. (BTW -- the National Civil Rights Museum is excellent and I highly recommend it -- I reviewed it in another Yelp posting.) Fortunately we finished our visit to the museum and arrived before the Grizzly's playoff game ended so it wasn't too busy yet. You place your order at the counter, get a table number and when the food is ready a server brings it out. I ordered a half rack of ribs with sides and a local beer. The ribs could be ordered wet, dry, or half and half. Previously, I ordered traditional Memphis BBQ ribs with a dry rub at another local establishment and I was not that impressed. At Central BBQ I decided to order mine "wet," and I much preferred them l "wet" over "dry." That said, the underlying dry rub is an essential component of the overall flavor and I found that Central BBQs mixture really showcased the essence of a very good, paprika forward, Memphis BBQ. I also found their ribs a tad more unctuous and fall off the bone tender than elsewhere. Rating BBQ in places like Memphis (and comparing it to Kansas City BBQ, or Carolina BBQ, or Texas BBQ, Wild Turkey in Conover, WI, or Fette Sau in Brooklyn, NY) is kind of like rating pasties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (near where I live). Everyone knows what they like and everyone thinks what they like is the best. So let me say, Central BBQ was my favorite in Memphis. As for you, go to some different places like we did and let us know what you think. Like me, you'll have a favorite, but also like me, you'll probably enjoy most, if not all the BBQ you eat in Memphis, just as much as I enjoyed the food at Central BBQ. read more

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews for Central BBQ, but this came recommended to me from someone born and raised in the Memphis area and I personally understand the hype. The individual that recommended it also had recommendations of what to pick from the menu. I tried the jerked wings he recommended and they were amazing! I got a pulled pork sandwich since the menu said it was one of the best and it was also very good. Overall, the food was superb particularly the wings. Service was quick and the security officer at the front is a real sweet lady that seems like a lot of fun and does her job thoroughly. I appreciated the artwork and fonts used throughout the restaurant and the way it kind of held the vibe of Memphis as a city. read more

Yummmmmmm! Stopped on our way to the airport for dinner around 6pm. You order at the counter then all food is brought to your table by way of table number. Counter service was fast and easy. The restaurant itself is open seating style with option for indoor or outdoor seating. All seating is tight because they are a very busy place. More spacious options outside on the back patio. We had pulled pork sandwiches, pulled pork salad and sweet potato fries. It was so good! Pork is served "naked" with sauce bar available for your bbq sauce preference. I opted for the mild option which seemed to be the perfect blend of sweet/vinegar. For the salad you get an option of dressing to go along with it, go with the blue cheese! (Lord, still drooling over it). Salad is served in a giant edible taco shell bowl and is massive! We were told it was some of the best bbq in Memphis, I can stand behind that comment. So good! read more

We tried the brisket, ribs, and pulled pork, hoping for a solid barbecue experience, but overall, it was a letdown--especially for the price. The ribs were the only highlight: served wet, fall-off-the-bone tender, and packed with flavor. Unfortunately, everything else missed the mark. The brisket was dry and completely lacked any real flavor profile. The pulled pork was even worse--tough, dry, and almost chewy. For what we paid, we expected much better quality. The sides didn't help much. The mac and cheese was creamy, but the noodles were way overcooked and mushy. The fries came out bland with zero seasoning--not even salt--which made them pretty hard to eat. The onion rings were the only side we enjoyed: crispy and well-prepared. Ordering was quick--just walk up to the counter--but the food came out so fast, it felt rushed. The dining area wasn't great either. The restaurant felt dirty, and our table was sticky. It honestly needs a serious deep clean. For how much we spent, we expected a much better meal and a cleaner environment. Definitely not worth the price. read more

I had really high hopes for Central BBQ after reading reviews and wanted to love it but I was pretty disappointed. I can see where you would love Central BBQ if you haven't had a lot of good barbecue but as a Texan, I have high expectations and this just didn't live up to the hype at all. We visited on a Friday night and had to wait outside for a few minutes which was to be expected... the security guard was nice and made conversation. However, the worker at the counter taking our order was not personable at all. You get prompted to leave a tip which seems a little ridiculous since the food is just being brought to your table... you get your own drinks, silverware, etc. (plus, you're asked to leave a tip before you even know how the "service" is). One item from the order came out quickly and the food runner took the number off our table but we had to explain that we were still waiting on two other items to be delivered. Rib Combo Plate (6/10) - We got the ribs dry, sausage as both of the meat choices, and mac n' cheese and potato salad as the sides. The ribs were very disappointing... they were definitely overcooked and pretty dry on the inside. The rub tasted burnt with minimal flavor. We had ribs earlier in the day at The Bar-B-Q Shop that were much better. The sausage isn't homemade and had the texture of a hot dog... not impressive by any means. The sides were rather small... the potato salad was pretty good (the best part of the plate) but the mac n' cheese tasted like Stouffer's (which isn't a compliment). The "rolls" are just King's Hawaiian Rolls from the store... they were good but the bread should never be better than the ribs or mac n' cheese from any barbecue place. Wings (9/10) - These were a throw in but ended up being our favorite item! We got an order of 6 and they were a great size. We ordered them dry and they were incredibly seasoned... probably a little TOO seasoned but it tasted amazing so I won't complain! They were super crispy on the outside but the chicken was moist and flavorful on the inside. I'd rank these within the top 5 wings I've ever had! Peanut Butter Pie (8/10) - We took this home with us and really enjoyed it! The base is similar to a chocolate cake consistency which is different than most pie bases that are crumbly. The filling had a great peanut butter flavor without being too sweet. Overall, I wouldn't recommend Central BBQ to others visiting Memphis... I've heard great things about Memphis barbecue and refuse to believe that this is their best. It was pretty average, especially for the price. I'd come back for the wings but that would be about it. read more

I was quite surprised that this place is so highly rated in Memphis for barbecue, because I thought it was mediocre. The main stars of the show, the ribs and brisket, were both dry! So disappointing. I've had my share of Texas bbq and I hate to compare, but it has to be said. The Central BBQ brisket was sliced thinly and didn't glisten with fat like I'm used to. The ribs didn't fall off the bone. The sides were mostly just fine, except for the pork rinds which were delicious. I'm not kidding, I bought some to go. But otherwise - Mac n cheese, nothing to write home about. Greens, just okay. Coleslaw, too bland. I didn't try the beans but I heard they were meh. Sorry Memphis! I'll come back for your music and history. read more
My wife and I stopped in here Wednesday August 2nd, and I'm so glad we did. This place is solid. You order at the cash register, and find a seat, then they bring the foos to you. We stopped in around 7:30 and the place was packed. After we ordered we managed to grab two seats at the bar. We ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and the Sausage & Cheese Plate. Both were very good. I really like the way they sliced the sausage into coin-size pieces and fried it on the flattop. I also liked the cheese. Service was great. I really like this place. It is conveniently located across the parking lot from the Lorraine Motel (where MLK was shot) and the National Civil Rights Museum. If you are in the area, you should give it a try. read more

We came in the 28th at 4:45 The security lady at the front was seriously sweet as pie! The slim girl behind the counter with the long hair was also sweet as pie! In fact everyone that works here is lovely! The bbq is fantastic. The pulled pork was less fatty than I like but most people would disagree with me. The sausage is INSANELY good, in fact I've never ever liked sausage from bbq places, but this was soooo porky and juicy! Yum!! The onion rings are crispy The potato salad is rich and creamy It's a shame we live 3000 miles away or we would be here each week read more

I wanted to love this..I really did. I mean, we were in Memphis..so I expected great things in BBQ. But this just didn't do it. The staff were very nice. They brought out water for my dog. And I'm not going to blame them for the sketchy neighborhood. The place was nice inside. But the BBQ itself was just nothing to write home about. Nothing particularly bad, but I've had way better at many places. read more
Food was decent. Sweet tea was delicious. Ambiance was definitely Memphis & southern style. The BBQ wasn't extremely flavorful, but the sauces were decent. The macaroni and cheese was my least favorite item, it had a fake cheese consistency and the flavor was just not there. I was disappointed because BBQ and macaroni and cheese are some of my favorite foods. Overall, the baked beans and sweet tea saved the meal. read more

What a ripoff. I was excited to try this place because of the positive ratings on Yelp. From the outside the place looked great. Walking in, same thing. Cool, welcoming vibe, good menu, friendly cashier. Waiting for our food, we filled up cups of various sauces. Still excited. Then the food came out. Boring, bland, no seasoning whatsoever. I got the three meat plate with pulled pork, brisket and smoked chicken. No salt. No pepper. No smoke. Nothing. On any of them. The pork was tender, the brisket was dry and the chicken was cooked ok. But no flavor whatsoever. On top of that, the pork rind side dish must have come from a bag. When the best thing on a bbq plate is your onion rings, you've got problems. The family all said the same thing. Nothing had any seasoning at all except for the collard greens. A very disappointing visit and a complete waste of money. read more
Central BBQ is an iconic Memphis, Tennessee destination for barbecue by both tourists and locals alike. The staff is extremely friendly and professional and I had my food in a relatively quick amount of time. The ordering process is pretty standard. You walk up to the cash register and order your food and they give you a number. You find a table and they bring you your food. I ordered the pulled pork with greens and baked beans. They brought me my food in a relatively quick amount of time and I tore into my meal. All in all, it was good. It was very good. I can see why people, both locals and tourists alike, love here. The food is good, it has a cool.vibe and the staff is friendly. Memphis, Tennessee is known for their barbecue and it is easy to see why when you try places like Central BBQ, it is easy to see why Memphis is known for their barbecue. read more

A little day trip landed me at Central BBQ in Memphis, TN. Overall it was an okay meal. I was expecting more. Ribs: Best meat on my plate. Very tender and the dry rub was great. I added a mixture of their hot BBQ sauce and vinegar sauce on it. Pulled pork I didn't like it as much. It was over cooked and a little mushy. Brisket The brisket was good and even better when I added some sauces to it. Baked beans I could taste the brown sugar in the beans (not how I like them) but they were still good. I also added some of their vinegar sauce to it. Greens Taste like a combo of collards and mustard greens (mixed greens). I didn't care for the greens because they were over cooked. It tastes just like Glory greens. #memphisfood #memphis #memphiseats #memphistennessee #greens #gratuityadded #memphistn #eatlocal #fyp #bealestreet #memphisfoodies #bbq #explorememphis #brisket #ribs #pulledpork #memphisstyle #clt #travelfood#barbecue #instafood #meat #bbqlife #bbqlovers #foodstagram #barbeque #brisket #ribs #foodblogger #meatlover read more
Definitely biased from eating a lot of South Carolina BBQ and Texas BBQ but the BBQ here didn't hit like it usually does and pork ribs are my favorite. Got half sauced and have dry rubbed. Not the fall off the bone meat I was expecting and I found myself having to supplement with a lot of sauce to enjoy the meat which is never ideal. The meat should stand alone by itself. They do have several sauce options so I did enjoy the spicy and the vinegar based sauce. Sides were pretty good. I did try someone's pulled pork BBQ and also found it to be pretty good. Not standout as I was expecting. Wasn't too crowded and BBQ was pretty fast to the table after ordering. read more

Ask the Community - Central BBQ
Is there seating at the bar yet? I usually don't have anyone with me for lunch so I just thought I'd ask.
No, as of two weeks ago, there was not. They were requiring those dining inside to sit at a table.
How is the parking? Is there a lot that is designated for the restaurant? I'm coming from out of town so didn't know if we would need to pay to park somewhere.
Street parking along St. Martin and there's also ~20 spots on the South Side of the restaurant. You probably won't have much luck if you try to park in the Civil Rights Museum parking lot, especially around lunch time.
