This is as much of a 3 as you could get. It's all 3 all day. Ribs, disappointing. 3/10 Sausage 7/10 Greens - 5/10 Baked beans 7/10 Cornbread 3/10 Fine, friendly people. Just a 3 is a 3.

Lunch

I found myself in Memphis on business and I'm a big bar-b-que fan. This was the second of 3 different bar-b-que joints I visited, for 3 straight meals. This was lunch on day two. Latham's was okay. It's a step up to the counter - cafeteria style joint. You move on down the line, and pick your stuff. Then you go and fine yourself a table. You also help yourself to the drink station, so there really is no "service" so to speak. I got a rack of ribs and a couple sides. May have overdone it. The food was good, but not as good as Reggie's. Ribs were a little dry. I can now say that I am not a big fan of Memphis Style Bar-B-Que. I didn't (until now) know the difference. Memphis Style is Vinegar based. Very watery. And the Ribs aren't cooked in it. They cook the meat in a dry rub. Then you squirt the bar-b-que sauce on at the table. I prefer the southern tomato based sauce, where the ribs are cooked in it. I also learned that there is a Carolina mustard based sauce (haven't tried that yet).

Whole hog pulled pork plate, beans, sweet vinegar slaw
Milton S.

On a recent Saturday day trip to Jackson, TN, I was looking for a whole hog BBQ establishment and Latham's Meat was the only one that looked promising from YELP reviews. A new book by Rien Fertel called the One True Barbeque mentions Lexington, Henderson and Jackson, TN, as the location of a dying breed of BBQ establishments which specialize in cooking whole hog on open pits. I didn't have time to drive to Lexington so I gave Latham's a try. I tried the whole hog barbeque plate with the standard sides of barbeque beans and slaw. The barbeque was very well done with a smoky taste and barbeque flavor throughout the meat. It had a nice texture to go with the taste. The slaw was a sweet vinegar based slaw that complimented the BBQ. The beans were ordinary pork and beans, somewhat of a disappointment. The next time I visit, I will try other sides. The sauce is a thin vinegar pepper based sauce, more commonly used on whole hog style and found more often in South Carolina than this close to Memphis. It's a nice place, organized cafeteria style and has a very authentic looking pit out back.

Pork sandwich with potato salad. Om nom nom.
Kristy B.

Southern California-born, I have recently realized that the food I called barbecue my whole life is not, in fact, barbecue. Shocking, I know. What you do on Memorial Day outside with your family is *grilling.* I digress. From the outside, I was a little skeptical about my family-in-law's claim that we were going to have amazing barbecue. I glanced around the austere surroundings, and ordered a pulled pork sandwich with beans and mashed potatoes. I brought it tentatively to my table and took a bite. Okay, I can get used to this. The barbecue was good, though not amazing. The sauce, as others have said, is a bit watery and could use a bit more flavor. So why the four stars, you ask? Because I could have eaten and ENTIRE PLATE of their potato salad and beans. Ah-mazing. The staff was friendly, especially considering our huge group coming out of nowhere, and I would be thrilled to get a great sandwich and sides when I go to the butcher for my meat.

The ribs are absolutely fantastic. The sausage was also incredibly juicy with a great snap to the casing. Highly recommended.

High quality prime beef, not choice grade, so flavor and tenderness is fabulous. Their thick butterflied pork chops are also amazing
