Memphis BBQ by wickowick

Germantown commissary


I thought they did a lot of stuff really well, but their ribs are lacking

Their ribs are not good...at all. It always amazes me how many folks recommend the commissary. That place is wayyy down on most folks list of bbq joints in Memphis.

For bbq - central and bbq shop are the top 2 in Memphis. Maybe cozy corner too. Rendezvous is good for the experience/atmosphere, but the food is not great.

Obviously go to Gus's. It's as good as everyone says.

Non bbq - Hog & Hominy or second line for casual.

Really any Andrew/Michael (Hog, porcellinos, A/M) or kelly English (iris/second line) restaurant is gonna be good.

I recommended it, I usually don't get ribs. I guess that's why I find most of Memphis BBQ extremely overrated. Germantown does other things pretty good though.

I am not a fan of central, interstate, or rendezvous.

My list:

BBQ-Barbecue Shop or Blues City Cafe for ribs if you only have one chance at Q. Cozy Corner - get the barbecued Cornish Game Hen.

Non-Q:
Wife loved dinner at Automatic Slim's.
Fried Chicken at Gus. Must do. Dip it in Ranch Dressing.
Breakfast at Brother Juniper's near the University.
Tops Barbecue - Don't get the Q. Get the cheeseburger.
Buckley's - good steaks.
The E's diners are good for breakfast.
Soufish Grill. Smoked Chicken wings and fried okra. Good lunch place.
