"Central BBQ started smoking meats in Memphis in 2002, and the growing chain has made its mark on Nashville as well, including at this Hillsboro location and a Capitol View spot. Central’s known for using a classic Memphis dry rub before marinating its meats for 24 hours and then smoking them over hickory and pecan woods. The brisket, pulled pork, turkey, chicken, and ribs are favorites." - Eater Staff, Delia Jo Ramsey

The food was great the location was inviting but what my husband and I loved the most was Mz Alice, she welcomed us warmly, offered us water, offered to go tray she is what makes businesses thrive. When we are back in town if she’s there we’re coming. Her smile and personality was everything!!!!

Absolutely loved Central BBQ! The staff were friendly. The food was delicious! I loved the brisket nachos, onion rings and Mac-n-cheese. I even ordered a qt of mac-n-cheese to go so I could share with family. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and was very clean. I would 10/10 recommend!

Such a great place to eat. The BBQ was irresistible and the other foods complimented it so well! Went here for a group event and they were so accommodating and friendly. The customer service was perfect and the food was absolutely splendid. If you're looking for somewhere to try out that Tennessee BBQ, I cannot recommend this place more!

Thanks to Nick and Julian for making my favorite Central salad from Memphis. The Wiseacre IPA was the icing on top. Love from a home town Memphis girl.

The Pitmaster Combo was terrible! This was by far the driest, tasteless meat I have ever eaten. I would not feed this to anyone or anything. The fact that the restaurant thought it was okay to serve this is beyond me. I would be ashamed if I served this to people.

I was very disappointed with the half chicken and ribs that we ordered. They were both very dry. The onion rings were delicious and the fries and potato salad were pretty good. For a $37 meal I expected much higher quality food. The one redeeming thing only person working in the front was the most fabulous, kind, helpful lady, Ms. Alice. You should clone her. I have never seen anyone work so hard with such a good attitude. She was so busy I didn't have the heart to complain about our dry food to her and the assistant manager wasn't there yet.

The staff provided genuine Southern hospitality, which made the experience enjoyable. The food was also pleasing to the taste buds. Additionally, I was grateful for the pleasant weather that enhanced the overall experience.
