    I should preface this by saying I am NOT a Bar-B-Que Expert. That said, everything we ate was fantastic... the ribs, the beans, the fries... just delicious and fresh and reasonably priced. For me, a bit grab and go though. The ambience seems to have been affected by (perhaps) covid and eating out of styrofoam on site is a little meh. 5 for food - one star deducted for the rest of the experience.

    Brisket nachos and pork sandwich

    Tried the brisket nachos and pork sandwich. Both were very good! The service was great also, very kind and helpful. Must try BBQ spot in Memphis!

    Visiting from Texas, NEELY's was fantastic! Friendly staff and family vibes, the food was full of love. The beef ribs were so different from anything I've ever had and easily the most interesting. The bark was chewy and smokey while the meat was perfectly tender. The BBQ Spaghetti on the other hand was actually insane. Never came across something like it, but it just works so well! Absolute must try if you've never had it before. We also got a slice of the pecano pie (pecans and sweet potato) and it was wonderful. Not too sweet, tasted like campfire candied pecans in a sweet potato casserole but with way less sugar. 10/10 would recommend.

    This place is a 10/10 for service and food. Get. The. Wings. You're welcome. The seasoned fries are also great.

    The service is great, greeted with a cheerful hello & smile! This plaza location is family dine-in friendly! The environment appears well-kept and is locally family owned. Don't be surprised if you see one of the owners! The rib tips dinner (bbq beans & greens for sides). The meat was tender, a tab bit greasy, not overly salty but had a nice subtle smoke flavor. Overall reasonably priced, flavorful, with good sized portions will satisfy your palate!

    BBQ Nachos

    The Neely's on Germantown Road and Winchester has good BBQ. Never real crowded and I'm sure they catch alot of the lunch crews in the area. Our order was a usual pick for us. The slab beef ribs and the pork rib tip dinner - two sides - baked beans and slaw. Never disappoints. Big bone beef ribs saucy and thick. Tender, juicy pork tips with the meaty/fatty layers. Satisfied and Content. The cashier was pleasant and friendly as well. We'll be back again for our regular BBQ fill

    Long time no visit. So for lunch today stopped by and got my favorite! RIB TIP dinner plate...the smokey smell

    Got here around 11:30 and I was placing to go order. One person was in front of me, but the wait wasnt long at all plus just seating there made me even hungrier...

    You asked for it...

This location is a large building with lots of seating options. I had to try Central as it keeps winning awards and is consistently mentioned as the top BBQ place in the Memphis area. Some of their awards were displayed at the entrance and on the walls. Lots of history. My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and had the slaw on the side so I could have it (she's not a slaw fan). I had the small order of ribs with 1/2 dry and 1/2 wet with sides of BBQ Beans and Mac n Cheese. I tried the pulled pork and it was tender and delicious. My ribs were pretty good with my favorite part being the wet ribs. The dry part was overcooked and really dry and chewy. This was a bit of a disappointment. The BBQ beans were flavorful but a bit mushy. The Mac n cheese also mushy a bit but tasted better than it looked. I love great BBQ so I like Central BBQ but may have caught them on a bad day. Oh, they were out of a lot of T Shirt options/size I wanted too. Darn. I wanted to buy one. I would return and try the brisket, pulled pork or poultry items next time.

This entire restaurant is built on a slight slope, and they did not level the foundation when building out the restaurant, so if you're sitting at your table and the table is aligned north to south, you will see a slight lean to the flooring. Also, if you have any juices on your plate of food, the juices will flow toward Beale Street. I wanted to try their tamales but will have to do it on a subsequent visit. This visit we ordered the bowl of gumbo and the Memphis strip steak which is pre-cut for you. The gumbo is slightly salty but good. The strip steak was really good, filling and cooked to order. I chose new potatoes as my one side. Service here can be a little difficult depending how busy they are and how wild your fellow patrons in the restaurant can be. It took a long time to pay the bill here due to a large party coming in right when we were wanting to pay and our server was attending to them for about 15 mins while we were trying to flag him down. Other than that, we had no other problems. I would happily return the next time I'm in the downtown area and looking for food near Beale Street.

There is plenty of parking in a lot across the street. We went inside and found it to be pretty busy, but we got a table for 4 quickly. The place was clean and homey-feeling and I loved the fact that they used disposable plates, utensils and napkins! It is probably way easier on the crew to clean up, and it adds to the relaxed atmosphere. I had the corn nuggets to start, yum! We finished them easily, they were so good. Then the entree of my chicken tenders, beans, and Mac and cheese came out, along with my sweet tea. The sweet tea was perfect, I drank a whole one during my meal and they gave me another to go in the souvenir Gus's cup. The food was just great, chicken was juicy and perfectly crunchy on the outside. Beans and Mac and cheese, delicious! I ate all of it even though I was stuffed. I even went so far as to order a piece of pecan pie for dessert, but unfortunately our server came back out to tell us they were out of it! Guess it wasn't meant to be (this time)! Our server was really friendly during our whole meal, chatted with us a little and made sure we had a great experience! Bottom line.... Go to Gus's!

The waiter was nice and attentive. He made sure we had what we needed and wanted. Seven is his name. The food was not world famous. The chicken was spicy and bland. No seasoning.

I gave it 2 stars because it was free parking in front of restaurant and the good service from seven.

The Rendevous shows up as a must-try place when in Memphis so, of course, we had to try it. My wife and I really enjoyed ourselves here and for what it might lack in some areas, the character and staff more than make up for it. We had a seat at a crossroads area where two in-restaurant walkways merged and there was no shortage of ongoing activity throughout our visit. We shared the perfect sized Pork Ribs and Brisket Combo with sides of beans and coleslaw. The meats are all charcoal grilled and tasted very good. They put a LOT of dry seasoning on the ribs. I liked the baked beans and mustard vinegar slaw as well. They were a nice compliment to our meats. The ribs were a bit dry but good with the added tangy BBQ sauce that is on every table. I even bought a bottle to take home. Our server was Mark F and was very seasoned and professional. He did a great job. I love these types of old school places with an "if these walls could talk" vibes. Also love their website name: HogsFly.com. Hilarious! Everyone needs to try this place at least once.

Also, I always get boneless, so I'm not sure if the flavor is different on regular wings- so take my review with a large grain of salt if you're a big wing person. The fries were really good but the flavored versions weren't that impressive so I'd rather just stick to the regular fries. The Pineapple Habanero was really good though.

The wings are smoked with the sauce added later. The wings taste good but they are pretty expensive for what they are. People should try the wings but I prefer deep fried wings that hold the sauce better.
