Central BBQ - Midtown

We were greeted by Barbra at the counter. I told her we drove 8 hours and excited about their bbq. She helped us make a selection of meats to try. The RIBS, wet or dry are delicious. I will eat there again before heading home. I highly recommend this restaurant. Excellent food, service and staff. Barbra was polite, helpful and a lovely person.

Some friends and I dropped by Central BBQ for lunch on a Saturday. It wasn't too crowded. Food came out within 10 mins of ordering. Excellent customer service, friendly and randomly walk by your table to see if you need anything or take up plates that you're done with. I had a jumbo pulled pork sandwich with fries. It was all really good. Also love the tie dyed plastic drink cups. They offer some really cool shirts for purchase. Definitely recommend, will return soon!

I haven’t been to Central BBQ in 12-15 years so they have remodeled or made changes since I was last there but that delicious Memphis style BBQ flavor hasn’t changed. I brought my family there for lunch on a holiday and they know how to handle the crowds. We were quickly through the line and our meals came out just as ordered. This group does BBQ right, that was some good food.

Very Solid BBQ. Had just landed in Memphis and only had a few days to revisit some of my favorite places. Central was my first stop! Banana Pudding was in the bag , planning to take back to the hotel. It never made it

Their ribs were amazing and off the bone. I tried another place’s ribs and was so disappointed, so I was a bit skeptical at first for central bbq, but ribs here were so good.

DRUMROLL PLEASE!!! Love the renovated restaurant! Stopped here to grab lunch one day a few weeks ago with my daughter. We were excited to try the new restaurant. The old one was great and we were looking forward to this one. The menu is HUGE!! I had the spud with smoked chicken and three smoked salmon wings. My daughter had the chicken nachos and said they were great. The baked potato was awesome and the wings were good as well.

I had a pulled pork sandwich. It was very moist and the meat tender. The chips have lots of dry barbecue seasoning of some sort on them, neither my kids nor I cared for it. It got very crowded while we were there. They were out of peanut butter pie. Bummer! I ordered a piece of chocolate cake. The piece of cake was massive, but lacked flavor. My kids had mac and cheese and while I didn't taste it, it was very dry looking. I prefer mac and cheese that has some saucy quality to it. There were plenty of bathrooms that were clean. They have big tables to seat larger groups of 6-8. Overall, I would eat the pull pork again. It was good.

They're back. The food quality and portions are impressive. I missed this location. It was torn down and brought back bigger and better than ever. I hope my pics do it some justice.
