Best Memphis BBQ

A lot of people will say Central but for one a one time thing I'd go Rendezvous. Very unique atmosphere and some stuff you don't see on a lot of bbq menus. Order the cheese and sausage plate and the lamb riblets to start.

If you are eating one meal in Memphis, I'd probably go Gus's.

Dry rub ribs at Central are the best I've had. Depends on what part of town you're in but there are three locations pretty spread out.

Rendezvous. I like the dry ribs.

me too, and it's not like they don't have a bottle of bbq sauce right in front of your face if you need it, either.

I think Centrals dry rub is kind of lacking compared to the others.

I'd go
Central for wet ribs
Corkys for dry rub (and onion ring stack)
Rendezvous for bbq nachos and atmosphere

Central is my favorite though.

Skip the BBQ and go get you some Gus's Famous Fried Chicken!

Some solid recs in here. I'll add BBQ Shop to the mix.

Jesus Christ mods moved this from the new travel board to the food board. Get your shite together

Randezvous is a tourist attraction. Not even close to the best Q in town. Payne's on Lamar is probably the best. Commissary is Germantown has very good ribs. I know you've already eaten though
