We were seated immediately by a very friendly hostess and then greeted by our waitress. She is clearly someone's Grandma! She was extremely cordial and attentive....just like your Grandma would be if you sat down at her dinner table! The food was delicious and maybe the best ribs I've ever had! The meat was perfectly smoked, with a great Smokey flavor and a rich bark on the outside. I'm talking about sucking on the bones to get that last bit of BBQ taste. My biggest disappointment was we finished everything...no leftovers! If you're ever in Memphis, this is a place to check out and bring your appetite! You can thank me later!

The banana pudding, pies, trust me I was eying everyone's! Ha! I guess we will have to go back now. It's 5 stars from this Houston girl!

We invite the family over and buy a couple of slabs for take-out from one of our favorites (Interstate, Cozy Corner, and The Barbecue Shop). They rarely disappoint.

Well, I've never been to the airport restaurant, but the tried and true restaurant on Third Street hasn't disappointed us.

Wonderful BBQ! Lots of variety! No hype! Neely family establishment!…read more So many BBQ spots in Memphis get all the attention. Interstate BBQ is away from the downtown lights and glamor. You can dine-in here, order ahead or even use their convenient drive-thru! They have all the Memphis classics (ribs, BBQ sandwiches, etc.) but even more variety than most, including: BBQ Spaghetti, Rib Tips, Sausages, Jumbo Hot Dogs, Whole Chicken, and delicious cakes -like Red Velvet & Pecan Pie! (Yes, I've tried most of these over the years! LOL) They are right of the I-55 interstate (3rd St exit). I'm frequently in neighborhood, so it's easy to order ahead. I think they have great deals on their huge BBQ sandwiches (warning -they're so good & messy!) 1-pound Rib Tips & Smoke Sausages! Simply order ahead, jump off I-55 & pick them up! You can also ask for HOT BBQ sauce (just a hint of heat -cause I'm a hot-head, but I'll take all the added heat I can get!) Free Parking! Big Parking Lot. Super-Friendly People! Delicious Food. Decent Prices. I recommend!

Ok, so I was leaving Memphis and my flight was showing 90 minute delay... i didn't want to travel…read moretoo far (since I was already near the airport)... I began scouring Yelp. I came across a bunch of different places with varying reviews. I finally settled on Tom's Barbeque. The tldr is I'm so glad to have enjoyed my meal here. It's in what seemed to be a local working class neighborhood. I'll be honest, as I was driving there I second guessed where I was going. I pulled up to the parking lot and sat there a couple minutes further contemplating if it was a good idea. I don't know the area, maybe I was just overthinking it and there was no reason to be apprehensive(?) I eventually went in and it's a cool little building. I was warmly greeted and had a nice brief chat with the folks behind the counter. I didn't see exactly what I was looking for on the menu...so I finally just asked him for what I wanted to see if it was an option. He said no problem and got me hooked up. I have to say, it was the best pulled pork I've ever had. The combination of flavor and texture was out of this world. I seek out barbecue places all across the country, and I can definitely say this was the best pulled pork I've had. I got a side of mac & cheese, which by appearance I didn't think I would love. It looked a little little bit like nacho cheese sauce... but much like this place, don't judge a book by its cover and take a bite. The mac & cheese was awesome. When I was done eating, I had the chance to chat with them for a few more minutes. Awesome folks, very welcoming and a pleasure to meet them. Next time I'm in town, I will certainly go back. The quality of food here was far better than any of the touristy, bougie barbecue places I've been in Memphis. As a side note incase anyone is bored and still reading this... just because your flight shows delayed by 90 mins doesn't mean it will stay that way. As I was pulling up to the airport, I got a notification it was only going to be a 15 minute delay (not 90 like the prior notification said). My first reaction was UPSET, like darn, I'm gonna miss this flight. My next thought was "oh well, I already know that Tom's is open tomorrow :) " ended up making the flight, but if I hadn't, I would've certainly come back for another awesome meal the next day!

They def didn't skimp on the protein so I give them that. Next time I'll just put a lot more of their spicy bbq sauce on it Disappointed in the sandwich, & didn't get the onions/pickles I asked for but the chopped chicken, & sausage were pretty good Coleslaw was surprisingly pretty good as well But their spicy bbq sauce was GREAT!!! will definitely be back to try their ribs this time

It's in the middle of a residential area and looks a bit worn but the food was great..I got catfish with chicken wings and fries, the pulled pork sandwich, and the pineapple coconut cherry cake. Wings were great and interestingly had some dark meat. Catfish was excellent and the pork sandwich was perfect and overflowing with meat.
