Stopped by this place on a work trip with some coworkers and it did not disappoint. First of all, I will say Andrea was an excellent server and whatever she's being paid, she deserves more. She was attentive, recommended menu items, and made conversation while taking orders. The customer service was great. The "muddy" ribs were great and the wings were even better. Definitely the best bbq I've had in the Memphis/Mississippi area so far. I'd say it's worth a stop if you're in the area for sure. read more

Wow! Live in Nashville and this is the real deal. Service was as good as you can get. Great hostess and server. Dry ribs were great. Sausage was fantastic. Pulled pork was epic. Green beans were better than mine and very tasty. Cole slaw was the type I like and perfect. Floor felt greasy but looked clean. Very slippery. Did not like any of the 3 Bbq sauces at all. Great Bbq and server was awesome. I will be back. read more

Memphis Barbecue - Bbq sampler !!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Horn Lake, Mississippi

Updating my review from 4 years ago. We've been maybe a handful of times since. Our visit last night though was decent. They don't take reservations, and I even called to inform them we had a party of 9 and they said it didn't matter. Okay... we get there and had to wait 30 minutes for a table. If we had been able to make a reservation, that wouldn't have happened. The employees were all nice though. Our main waiter and the waitress helping him were attentive and got what we needed. One thing that really disappointed me was that they were out of brisket (told us after we placed our orders) and half our orders had brisket. We had family from the west coast here and the whole point of going to Memphis BBQ was for them to enjoy southern BBQ and I feel they didn't get the whole experience. Another thing, our waiter specifically said he put the 3 kids meals on one order so they would come out first... guess which ones came out last out of all 9 of us? Yeah, the kids. And the food was piping hot for them so they barely ate anything by the time we were all done with our meals. Which our meals were actually good. Except the water. Has an awful chlorine taste to it. Lastly, weren't we supposed to get complimentary pork rinds? I completely forgot about that until after we left or I would have asked for them. It wasn't a horrible experience, but we've definitely had better and we'll probably be back sometime. read more

We came here from Graceland just to have the BBQ because it was the highest rated on Yelp in the area. We were pleasantly surprised by the experience. From the outside it looks like a chain but according to our really great waitress Morgan, it is not. The owner is a BBQ champion and she has won lots of awards. We really enjoyed the ribs and brisket the best. We also had the burnt ends. The sauces and seasonings were delightful too and we bought some to take back with us. read more

This is me of my favorite restaurants. I love the MBC salad with salmon. Omg it's the best. My husband loves the ribs. Service is always great. I have one complaint the floor is so slippery we had to stop going my husband can't sit in a booth the floor is like an ice rink I'm surprised if nobody has been hurt on it especially the servers read more

My husband and I were craving some BBQ so we decided to head over to Memphis BBQ and try them out. It was absolutely delicious! We split the cheese fritters as an appetizer. They were so delicious with the sauce at the bottom. My husband greatly enjoyed his burnt end cheddar melt, and my Pitt master sampler was delicious and left me enough food for a whole other meal! The fries, Cole slaw, and baked beans were also delicious. For dessert, my husband enjoyed the apple cobbler, and I had the banana pudding - y'all, this banana pudding is some of the BEST I have had! It was so yum that I almost hurt myself on it because of how full I was (lol). The service was also very hospitable, pleasant, and quick! I highly reccomend Memphis BBQ! Pro tip: the Pitt master sampler is absolutely enough food to split, especially if you get an appetizer! read more

We were on our way through MS, when we stopped for some BBQ. Let me start by saying there is no shortage of food when you eat here! For the table, we started with Cheese Fritters, Queso and chips and Rib Basket (pictures), all very good. My son and I shared the Pitmaster sampler (a half slab of baby back ribs plus sliced brisket, and pulled pork. Plus cornbread and two sides (we chose the veggies and mac & Cheese). I highly recommend the pulled pork - the rest was good, but the pork had really good seasoning. We got the ribs Muddy (seasoned and with sauce). One of my sons got a bacon cheeseburger and my husband had read a review about Guy Fiery being there and had a burger off the menu - but basically it was a bacon cheeseburger with fried pork rinds, Oh and they serve pork rinds to the table! Our service was good, our server was attentive. The ambiance is casual and consistent with other BBQ places (music can get a little loud, but all good) read more

Our ribs tasted like propane or lighter fluid. We could not distinguish the smell or the taste.

A decent on the road stop while headed south on I 55 to Nola. Good for a quick bite. Not at all bad just not as memorable as I thought even some casual MS joints might be. The main hit with this spot was the service. The server Cordaryl was excellent. A super nice guy with that southern hospitality I hoped to find. He knew his menu and knew his town. He helped out with my order choice and some local info as well. Great service always make the food taste better. Kudos to the guy! read more

Just over the state line from Memphis, I stopped at Memphis Barbecue Co for dinner. I'm a sucker for grilled cheese and brisket, so I went with the Burnt Ends Cheddar Melt. The Texas toast and melty cheese were great, and the brisket was nice and tender. Grabbed banana pudding to go, and it was the start of the show. Service was quick, and there was plenty of seating even at dinnertime without a reservation. read more

We were in Memphis and wanted to have barbecue for dinner. Memphis Barbecue came out as one of the best barbecue restaurants but it's located in MS. It's about 11 miles so we went. Glad we did because everything we ordered were very good. The server brought us complimentary chicharon which was freshly cooked because it was still warm. I ordered brisket with green beans and red beans and rice. Husband ordered chicken barbecue with coleslaw and turnip greens. For dessert, we had cherry cobler with vanilla ice cream. The brisket and chicken were tender and very tasty. All the sides were good, but my favorite is the red beans and rice. I wasn't surprised to see how busy this place is on a late Sunday night! Glad we came! Server was very attentive and girls in the front desk were very sweet. The restaurant has a great ambiance and some cool decorations. read more

I visited this spot because I couldn't figure out anywhere else to go to satisfy my picky colleague or my client. This is yet another DDD restaurant, but I didn't watch this particular episode and the menu did not give any indication on what Guy ordered during his visit. They serve pork rinds as a free app....which you can dip in their 2 sauces on the table, a sweet one and a bold one that's not that spicy. I ordered the half rack ribs, muddy, with turnip greens and red beans and rice with the latter recommended by our server. Ribs - pretty good sauce, tender, fall off the bone, some pieces were a tad dry, but this can be common with ribs, especially the smaller ends. Turnip greens - pretty standard Red beans and rice - pretty dang good for being in Mississippi. Ask for the hot sauce. Both my client and I really like this. Overall, this was a satisfying meal that we all enjoyed. It was nice seeing the articles and trophies the owner has accumulated over the years to make her the "most decorated female pitmaster in the US". read more

This one was hard. I settled on 3 stars as some stuff was 1 and other stuff was 5. If you stop here - don't get the brisket! We were greeted right away and seated quickly. Our server, Shea, came right away for drink orders and strongly recommended the ribs combo. We were not super hungry so we just did the brisket plate and added 3 bones for $9. Shea was sweet and attentive. Brisket is my go to so I dig in right away and then had to chew and chew and chew on the piece I cut off. I thought maybe it was a bad piece so I tried another slice and it was the same. I switched to the ribs and they were amazing! We got them wet and they were sauced just right. Meat came off the bone with just a slight tug. The sides are all good but the corn was exceptional. When I told the server we were not happy with the brisket she asked if she could get the manager. I said that was fine. The manager didn't say her name but she seemed to genuinely want to help and asked if she could get different slices because it's not supposed to be tough. I said that was fine or she could just swap out some ribs. She came back with more slices and it was more of the same. She never came back to see if they were better, and while the server asked about it noticing that it was entire uneaten, she then just brought our bill for a total of $42. We paid and left. read more

Having watched Melissa on BBQ shows I had high expectations, which weren't met. Food was ok but not anything that stood out. Ribs were the best of the three meats we tried (plus pulled pork and sliced brisket). Sides (onion rings and red beans/rice) were bland. Service was good. Waitress was friendly and attentive. read more

I'm religious now because Jesus Christ have mercy on my tastebuds that was outstanding.

Ps the Peach Cobb... to die for. read more

Found this spot thanks to Yelp reviews. We ate here after visiting Graceland. Good friendly service. Originally had no idea this was by a 10 time world champion pit master! Melissa Cookston! We tried the gumbo, muddy ribs, sausage, Mac n cheese, side salad, cornbread. Was the best meal while I was on vacation from San Diego. The ambience had a good casual hometown aesthetic. read more

We were here 11 years ago, passing through Memphis - and so glad to see it was still here! Great food, great service - took home some bbq sauce. Bbq dry baby backs were amazing, smoked turkey and pulled pork to die for! We also tried fried catfish, also very good. No boring grits here, a bit spicy, enough to make it memorable. Hope it won't take another 11 years to return! read more

This will be my go to spot every time I come to town! We visited again and I couldn't leave without stopping here. This time I got the ribs and they were heavenly! read more

Food was MID I ordered half rack rib, I used classic sauce which was very flavorful but I've had better ribs, was hoping they'd fall of the bone but did not. Mac and cheese was very runny and had no taste. Greens were ok but when I asked for vinegar waitress looked shocked?? Guess that's just a Southern thing first time at this place and most likely the last. read more

I was visiting Memphis for work and a friend recommended Memphis barbecue. I've had many different types of barbecue, but I wanted to see what Tennessee had to offer. On my order I got burn ends, but I also got a side of ribs. For my sides, I got fried okra and the potato salad. Their meals come with corn bread as well. So the flavors, the burnt ends are not tender, so don't get your hopes up. Memphis BBQ is known for pork, so I ordered some ribs. They were tender and flavorful. The potato salad was good and the fried okra was decent. I think if the order would've came when it was supposed to the food would've been warmer, but I blamed the delivery guy for that. Overall, the food was very good, but for me, it was a little above average. read more

Colleague who lives in the area recommended this place to experience Memphis bbq. Loved the chicaron that came complimentary. Got the ribs with fried okra and beans and rice. Loved the okra altho portions were a tad small for the side. Beans and rices were a bit salty for my taste. Ribs were tender, still structured, and easily came off the bone. Enjoyed the peach cobbler with ice cream. The ice cream scoop was tiny compared to the rest of the dessert. read more

Tried this spot with my mom and we enjoyed it. We came mid-afternoon on a Sunday and it was a bit of a wait but not too long. It's a pretty big spot and it's country style on the inside with all the fixings. Our waiter was patient and attentive. Complimentary fried skins are served as well. We ordered the Pitmaster Sampler, which was around 35 dollars. It came with a slab of ribs and 2 other meat options with 2 sides. We ordered the burnt ends and sliced brisket with a side of okra and mac and cheese. The ribs were tender and falling off the bone. We ordered them dry so we could dip them in BBQ sauce. There's 3 BBQ options at the table and I loved the "Classic" one. It's sweet and no spice. The ribs were my favorite! The burnt ends were nice and seasoned and came with a BBQ sauce that paired well with them. The brisket was tender and seasoned to perfection. Finger-licking good for sure! The okra was fresh and crunchy, but the mac and cheese was pretty average. This place is worth the visit for some tasty BBQ! read more

You could not pay me to come back to this restaurant and give the owner any more business. We ordered online because we are on a road trip and wanting good food but not waste too much time. We go inside to get the food and asked if we would be able to change it to dine in and could order drinks and dessert (not originally on our order). The hostess said she had to check with her manager (the place was 75% empty on a Monday night so it shouldn't have been a big deal to take up a table and we had already paid and tipped on our original order and would have tipped again on the drinks and dessert). The manager told her no we needed to take our food to go since that was the way it was ordered which we found incredibly rude given the empty tables and we didn't have our food ready yet. We ordered to go drinks and it seemed like all of the waitstaff was walking around on egg shells so the management must be nightmares to deal with. The food was average. Ribs were decent, the cornbread was good, but the baked beans didn't have much flavor and potato salad sucked. Red beans and rice were average. Even if the food was amazing I would still rather choose to support more friendly business owners. read more

8/7/26 Staff at Memphis Barbecue, turned a bad night around after lack of service, at nearby restaurant. Quickly seated on a Friday night, food came out 5 Star delicious.

I was visiting a friend in Memphis and we went down to eat at Memphis BBQ in MS- I had the ribs and they were amazing- So much so that I've been craving to go back for four years now!!!

Great food and service! I liked their bbq sauce the best. Will definitely visit again.

Food is good and seasoned well. The Mac n Cheese was wonderful. Service is good, and does not take too long. I appreciate how they have their own FREE appetizer... alittle spin on the traditional free rolls or chips and salsa that other places have. read more

Good food, greats service, and lively atmosphere. We came here looking for a good place to eat after visiting Graceland Mansion. W saw that this place was highly recommended. We were curious about their award-winning pork ribs. It was very good. We ordered the Grand Champion Platter. We got to try the roasted chicken, ham, pulled pork, and cornbread. It came with French fries, smashed potatoes, and rice and beans. It was delicious! I hope I can go back to try their beef brisket. read more

I want more ribs so I go back 2 days later and get a nice full rack of ribs.. the ribs were sooo dry and I mean hard dry. I had to use a knife to cut them off the bone because I couldn't pull them apart. The flavor was really good but I couldn't even chew them. $35 dollars.. gone down the drain.. read more

8-2-26 We were there for lunch. They were not busy at all and we were seated immediately. We put in our order and they food came nice and hot. The consistency of the food was spot on. I don't like my food lukewarm or cold. The exception was the meat didn't fall off the bone and sausage needs to be seasoned. The waitress was always there for us. Melissa, please keep up customer services. Your Bbq is far better than most of the restaurants in Memphis as well as the services. read more

Delayed flight into Memphis had me hungry for dinner and this was close to hotel and airport. I had the BBQ combo with burnt ends and brisket with crispy fries and slaw. Great sauces for extra kick. The burnt ends are tender without being overly fatty, the brisket, sliced thin was also very moist and tasty. Is it the greatest bbq in all the land? No, but it was really good and I wouldn't hesitate to return. Sat at the bar and was served quickly, the bartender checked in several times, everyone in the place was friendly. Great service! read more

I have been a big proponent of Memphis BBQ Co having been there a few times felt it was the best BBQ as well as best brisket. I went there yesterday and will not advise my visiting colleagues to make the drive from Memphis anymore. The portions have been greatly reduced, it isn't worth it. The Brisket, I felt, was worth going there, but not anymore quality and quantity have diminished greatly! Stay in Memphis and go to Central BBQ read more
