I have been wanting to try this rib shack and finally had the opportunity. I'm so happy that it was…read moresuper delicious! We loved that the rib meat practically fell off the bone when picking it up. The ribs were tender and had a great flavor, not too Smokey. I ordered it without the house dry "dust" and enjoyed them with tasting all three BBQ sauces that are conveniently left on the tables. The slaw was super fresh and not overpowered by a lot of creamy sauce, just enough for flavor. The baked beans had a great bbq pork flavor and were fresh and hot. We had a great server. She put the house rib dry "dust" on the side and suggested to sprinkle it on the french fries my husband substituted for the beans; great idea!! The atmosphere has a fun nostalgia flare to the Shack style construction. We will definitely return.

Visited here for dinner on a drive to Memphis last week…read more Located right on the side of US 72 W in the middle of Corinth, it was an easy stop for us. Parking was no problem though it was a little later on a Friday, around 7:45 or 8 P.M. We were seated promptly by an exceptionally warm and pleasant employee. The decor is sort of homey and kitschy, with the awards won by the restaurant proudly on display. The menu is fairly large and full of American favorites like burgers, barbeque, onion rings, and so on. This is technically a bbq place but to me the vibe definitely gives off more a standard American diner/restaurant feel, and my hunch was eventually proven right. My parents both got burgers and split an order of fries; I had the fried chicken strips with fried okra and fries (look...I was on a mini vacation!), and my husband dared to try the smoked half chicken with fries and baked beans. I think I enjoyed my food more than my husband and parents -- hunch confirmed. I'd give my dinner a 4 but they felt a good bit more lukewarm. I had one super dry chicken strip but the rest were fairly juicy, lightly breaded, and flavorful. Meals come with garlic bread and it was really solid -- the real deal, super buttery and garlicky. The okra was great texture-wise though the breading could use a bit more salt. I enjoyed my fries but my parents said theirs were way too greasy. In fairness to them, I think they got a different batch than me, because I could see the sheen of oil on their serving. They did both enjoy their burgers. The ranch dipping sauce I got was good. Husband got the worst thing for sure; the chicken was very dry and not super smoky. I kept my I told you so to myself irl but I won't here, lol. The sweet tea was particularly delicious and they kept the refills coming. Service was overall quite nice and the restaurant, particularly the lady's bathroom, was clean. The four of us ate for about $50, which I didn't think was bad at all. Honestly, I'd give my experience a 4/5, especially considering the somewhat limited options in the area, but my fellow diners' experiences seemed a little flatter. Oh well. It was a serviceable dinner on a road trip.

I got the BBQ (pulled pork) plate with dirty rice and french fries as my two sides. The pulled pork was good but I wasn't a big fan of the bbq sauce that was on top. Redeeming factor: they had Big Bob Gibson white sauce as an option on the table of sauces. Nice! The dirty rice had potential to be extremely tasty but had many pieces that were quite hard...as if it spent a little too much time under the heat lamp. The fries were fresh and excellent - crinkle cut deliciousness. The mister ordered the ribs and fries. Smart move because both were excellent. I was jealous and wished I had ordered the same. Soft drinks are canned....and $1....lame. Drinks are self serve. Tea is located on a table off to the side close to the cooler for the canned drinks. You order and pay at the counter.

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.
