The 21 Best Restaurants in Memphis, Tennessee | Eater Nashville

"Memphis is a barbecue town, and you’ll get a few different answers from locals if you ask about their favorite spots to hit up. Go for the Cozy Corner, a family-run and Black-owned favorite established in 1977, where the well-regarded barbecue earned owner Desiree Robinson an induction into the American Royal Barbecue Hall of Fame. The menu is standard Memphis barbecue, with sandwiches, meat plates (a slab of ribs or whole barbecue chicken, for example), dinner plates that include bread and sides (beans, coleslaw), and a variety of sauces that range from mild to hot (but don’t worry, it’s actually that spicy)." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

How a Memphis Restaurant Makes a Barbecue Bologna Sandwich | Eater

"Founded by Bobby Bradley Jr.’s grandfather, this Memphis barbecue institution—one of the city’s most popular—keeps original menu curiosities like barbecue spaghetti and a barbecue bologna sandwich alongside locally renowned ribs and wings as a way to preserve the family legacy. The bologna sandwich is made by slicing thick rounds on a meat slicer, rubbing both sides generously with barbecue seasoning, and grilling each slice (pitmaster Vernon Watson cooks them up to about 30 minutes) until they develop a deep, appealing color; the finished sandwich is plated on a burger bun and topped with barbecue sauce and slaw. Bradley and his team continue to showcase these heirloom items while also serving classic barbecue plates like ribs and wings." - Avery Dalal

Not much to look at from the outside but the food was delicious especially the cakes and the rib tips were so dang tender. We got the hot sauce but it wasn’t spicy. The potato salad was yummy. I wasn’t a fan of the baked beans. I definitely think the cakes are better than the peach cobbler.

As a Texan, I have always wanted to try Memphis barbecue, and boy o boy, we were not disappointed. We found this spot on our way through right off the interstate. The ribs were meaty and tender, and although the sauce was very different than what we were used to, it was still delicious. The bbq beans were baked in that sauce and to me seemed a little sweet but not bad, potato salad was good and fries nice and crispy. People were friendly and price for what you get is very reasonable. If you’re in the area, give this spot a try. It may not be pretty on the outside, but your taste buds and stomach will thank you.

The BBQ was so good! The customers and staff were very helpful and friendly. Everything we had was delicious, Memphis BBQ was better than Texas... I said it... 😂 (I didn't get a picture of the banana pudding or cobbler before it was gone, so good!)

When traveling I like to check out the local food favorites. I’m bold and have never met a stranger , so I asked some locals for recommendations. They recommended one of the oldest barbecue joints in Memphis, AND I’M GLAD THEY DID. I love Memphis’ muddy ribs and they certainly delivered on that! The BBQ Spaghetti, potato salad, and slaw are all amazing! The BEANS…there’s a little known secret about barbecue baked beans…AND THEY KNOW THAT SECRET! I too recommend this place!

Really excellent Memphis-style BBQ. We got smoked Cornish hen & ribs, which are two of their specialities. Both were amazing. The ribs are deeply flavorful & the hen was smoky & tender. Highly recommended!

Very disappointing experience here. I had high hopes. Service was pretty bad. Cashier was very rude. Wings were super dry. Ribs were overcooked, chewy. Didn’t really enjoy anything I ordered. This is supposed to be the BBQ that rivals Texas?! Whew! @nickeatzworld on IG and TikTok

Excellent BBQ and service. Fair pricing to. I was surprised to see BBQ sandwich came on a hot dog bun. I was told this was the best BBQ in Memphis. Made back to back stops here before heading back to Nashville

Atmosphere aside,who really cares when the food was fantastic. We had ribs for two with 4 sides. The ribs were huge and fall of the bone. We were told by a local is this is the best place for BBQ and that it was his moms favourite restaurant in the city. Always trust the locals to know. Also can someone please tell me why the bread. We had no idea what to do with it. 🤣😝

So, first I want to thank the hardworking folks who saw I'd left my purse and kept it safe behind the counter for me until I figured it out and came back for it! That said, the food we had was terrific - spicy ribs (they aren't hot spicy they are flavorful spicy) mustard cole slaw and flavorful beans. Roomy dining room even though there rightly are crowds. Service is quick and friendly.

Best BBQ in Memphis hands down Can't go wrong with anything on the menu Even the sides are good

This restaurant has been in business for almost 50 yrs, and the brick and mortar reflect this fact. The restaurant was not difficult to find, per Google maps. The ribs tasted average, and did not give bragging rights to the restaurant. The sliced bread was fresh, and the potato salad did not taste like it was homemade. Also, the coleslaw was mushy. I've eaten better ribs in Memphis, but I may return again in the future to order a different meal.

If you like sauce and a sometime feel - Cozy Corner is the place to go! I came with a group of people at around 11:30am to snag a large table. You order at the front and they will call your name when it's ready. I got the 2 ribs and 2 wings plate with medium sauce. The sauce has just enough zing to it. It was enough for a great lunch meal. I definitely want to try the burnt ends next time. Caramel cake is super good too! Overall, service was quick and gave me a homey vibe. This wasn't my favorite bbq spot, but an experience to try!

TL;DR: better than Rendezvous Came on a recommendation from the hotel staff and not disappointed Ordered: 2 ribs 2 wings (5/5): Cozy Corner lives up to the Memphis BBQ expectations. Can really taste the smoke and flavor in each bite. Tender ribs and juicy wings. Fries were good but the cole slaw was a little forgettable Come here. Skip Rendezvous. Cheers, Cozy Corner!

I would give them 10 stars if I could. Every local we talked to said this was the place to go for the best barbecue in town. Amazing barbecue and the best baked beans I've ever had. The owner came by and check in on us. Such a great guy! If you're in Memphis, don't miss this gem.

I am from Los Angeles so my opinion may matter less to you, but damn these ribs were good. They were fall off the bone tender with a sweet kick from the sauce. If you prefer your ribs dry, this might not be the place for you. I got an extra wing just to try, which was good, but I would've rather had more ribs instead. For sides, I got the corn, BBQ spaghetti, and some fries I stole from a friend. The corn and fries were bomb. Definitely fries you keep ending up eating just one more of until you reach for another one, and they're already all gone. The BBQ spaghetti was alright in my opinion: a little sweet, a little salty, BBQ sauce forward. For any tourists out there reading this, every local I asked said they've never had it in their life before lol, but it's fun to try regional specialties. The place is set up like a fast food place where you order at the counter, seat yourself, and they call your name. The service was very friendly for my visit. The counter staff was helpful explaining things, and when they called my name and realized we had a lot of dishes to take back for a party of 5, they carried our food to our table for us and brought condiments and utensils and stuff for us. The parking lot and dining room are large, so you probably don't have to worry too much about not being able to snag a space even when it's busy.

We ordered the BBQ Bologna sandwich plate with BBQ spaghetti and slaw then the 2 rib 2 wing plate with BBQ spaghetti and baked beans. It was phenomenal. Very friendly staff and quick service. The only reason I'm not doing 5 stars is because the tables had a sticky film and my shirt sleeve kept sticking. It doesn't look like much but I would go back anytime! Also- we had banana pudding and it was so good I would come just to order that alone!

Don't pass this joint due to the facade. We would have, but went in because of other Yelpers reviews. Don't judge book by its cover. The ribs were fall off the bone with a zesty Memphis sauce. Very tasty meal. Give em a try.

If you're looking for real authentic, non-gimmicky, Memphis barbecue, this is the place. One thing I've learned is most of these flashy touristy barbecue places are all hype. I wish I could've ordered more and tried everything on the menu. But the items I was lucky enough to taste were excellent. The ribs and half chicken are covered in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce. At least that's the one that I ordered. With no heat. There are different heat levels depending on your preference. The sides taste homemade and definitely not something store-bought or frozen. The desserts are also a must before ending your meal. The caramel cake was a five out of five, and the banana pudding is addicting. All of the staff were super friendly and very accommodating. In conclusion, skip those fancy, trendy bbq spots and come to the real deal.

I came in with my family of 7 on a Saturday evening about 5 PM. We were quickly helped and seated. Our favorites were the ribs and banana pudding. The only things I would change would be more sauce on the sandwiches and cleaner bathrooms.

When you hear Memphis, one food comes to mind - ribs. Of course I had to dine at one of the most talked spots in Memphis for ribs, Cozy Corner. I was at St Jude for work, and this spot happened to be right around the corner. Unlike many other restaurants, this one seemed like a very old joint from the outside architecture. But don't let that fool you - enter inside and you really get this old timey vibe. I knew I wanted ribs, but they have different rib size options, ranging from 2, 4, or 6 piece ribs. 4 ribs sounded like a sweet spot for me, and you get a choice of 2 sides (opted for bbq spaghetti and potato salad). Before even thinking about ribs, I was highly skeptical of the bbq spaghetti. But one bite completely changed my opinion! It's not bbq sauce doused on noodles, but instead a nice blend & ratio of bbq spices and sauce to pasta. I was pleasantly surprised! Now for the ribs - what can I say?! The bbq sauce was incredibly flavorful and the meat on the ribs just fell right off. Didn't require much chewing at all and I devoured that plate. I also got a dessert of banana pudding and it was a nice layer of whipped banana pudding with softened wafers - yum! The hype is worth it for this spot!

Visiting Memphis, and we were told to go here by two different distillery employees and a cop. It did not disappoint! Ordered ribs and rib tips and they were so juicy and tender. The greens,BBQ beans, and Mac and cheese were delicious! Not reflective of the restaurant, We have never tried BBq spaghetti before and did not care for it. Great local place!

Very authentic hole in the wall bbq joint. Clean and popping with very friendly staff. I loved their bbq. One of the few places that offer bbq bologna. Definitely not overpriced and you see a ton of locals coming in and out. I would definitely come in the daytime if you are familiar with Memphis.

I have lived in Memphis basically my entire life and never heard of this place until Mr Chimetime from IG came to Memphis. He stopped by here and raved about it, so I had to come give it a try next time I came home. I arrived here and they had a nice lil crowd on the inside I knew the food was going to be good. I ordered the 2 wing 2 rib plate with fries and baked beans. I also got extra ribs. I also grabbed a plate for my love and he got the same thing but with the BBQ spaghetti and baked beans. The ribs were nice and meaty. Very well seasoned. Same for the chicken it had a nice Smokey flavor. Then baked beans were bomb! I like the fact that they give you a slice a bread. I didn't try the bbq spaghetti but I was told it wasn't that good. They were nice and friendly at the counter they even show you your food before walking out to make sure everything looks right which I appreciate. I'll be adding this place to my stops for BBQ when I come home. I'm glad I found this gem.

Though shall not eat at any other BBQ joint besides cozy's. We asked a local about where we could find the best BBQ. She named two spots (one uppity-in her own words-and the other being local). I told her that I like to eat at the spots in the neighborhood. Rolled up and appreciated the Cozy look of the place. I knew I would be in for a treat. However, I had no clue that that damn BBQ would be so good. I almost mistook my finger for one of the bones I was gnawing on. The seasoning is to perfection. The BBQ sauce is amazing (get extra). The corn was juicy. That good ole white bread to sop that sauce up never let me down. The service was quick, efficient, straight to the point. Pros: Best BBQ I have ever had (and I don't live in Memphis, yet alone Tennessee. However, I have tried my fair share of BBQ due to my love for this cuisine. Meet was juicy and tender Cons: I didn't have time to stay one more night and go back for more. Go get y'all some!

This place is as authentic as it gets Yes it looks a bit intimidating from the outside But inside is a mix of all sorts of people from all walks of life, everyone enjoying some amazing Memphis bbq! The staff are pretty stern, but in a "we gotta get every order right" kinda way. The food is really good but the smokiness isn't something I love with my ribs. So I had to knock a point off. But don't let that stop you from going and appreciating some truly authentic Memphis food!

While visiting Memphis our waiter at a fine dining establishment recommend we get barbecue where the locals go! Wow...did not disappoint! He also recommend I try the bologna sandwich...this is something I would never have tried if not for his recommendation. I was so intrigued that I had to give it a try. It was very good! This place was hopping! You could see this is a local favorite! Recommend!

My wife and I traveled here after seeing cozy corner on a popular food show. We were excited to try it after flying all day and drove straight there. We were met with a long line, it's obviously a popular spot in Memphis. First the good things. The barbecue sauce, I had the medium, was exceptional. The wings were also very good; moist with great flavor. I'm always reluctant to get chicken at a barbecue place because it has a tendency to be dry, but that was not the case with these. We had coleslaw, potato salad, corn, and bbq beans for sides. The coleslaw and potato salad were of the creamy variety, which is what I like, they were above average. Both the beans and the corn were average at best. Where it really broke down, and was the big surprise to me, were the ribs. I had the distinct impression they were pre-broiled before finishing them on the grill. I might be wrong, but they certainly lacked smoke flavor and texture. On a sidenote, the service was good except for the manager, who was not very friendly. In fact, she seemed to go out of her way to be unfriendly. Whatever....when you have a line out the door I guess you can be any way you wanna be. I can't say that I would recommend them. we are here for a couple more days and I can't wait to find that famous Memphis bbq that I know must be here

Good vibe. Easy to get in at lunch hour on a weekday. Passing through from Dallas and just did a quick search for the top rated bbq in Memphis. Food was pretty solid. Price point is great. 38 bucks for three lunch plates, however top ranked BBQ joint in Memphis? It's no Terry Blacks or Hutchens so just a little disappointed. Bbq sandwiches were good, shaved brisket is new to me. Pretty sure the beans are bushes baked beans. Peach cobbler is solid. Three stars. Price and vibe plus ease of access leading the way

Stopped in for lunch because I heard it was the authentic spot in Memphis. You order at the counter and grab your food when they call your name. I ordered the 4 bone ribs and pork sandwich with slaw and baked beans as the sides. The ribs were great. Very tender, and truly fall-off-the-bone ribs. I did get it spicy but I really couldn't taste much spiciness. The plates come with two slices of white bread (which is common for most barbecue joints). The pork sandwich was also tasty. The meat wasn't shredded or pulled but in slices. Probably about the thickness of two slices of lunch meat. My lunch was $21. If you want good barbecue, this is the place.

I was driving a moving truck from Phili to Cali and wanted to try Memphis bbq. I needed a place near i40 with enough parking for my 26 foot truck and this place fit the bill. What a treat. Best bbq I've ever eaten. The sweet potato pie was fab too. Friendly staff.

This was a little hole in the wall spot that was recommend to us while on our weekend trip to Memphis. They said they had the best BBQ in the city at our hotel so of course we had to try it! Got there and the line was so long but wait went quickly. We also didn't have to wait long for our food either. I got the pork rib plate with bake beans and potato salad. Moms got the rib tip plate with beans and potato salad. I enjoyed my plate ribs were tinder I could pull the bone right out of them potato seemed store bought premade and the beans were good. Me and mom were not a fan of the rib tips. They were real salty and gammy. The rib plate was the star of the shoe for sure. We also got a slice of sweet potato pie that was really good. Sweet tea was good as well. The only thing I didn't like is how they smother your meat in BBQ sauce I would have liked the sauce on the side. That's how you can tell if the BBQ is really good if its good without the sauce. Service wasn't bad but wasn't stellar either. Homegirl wasn't really friendly or inviting but she wasn't rude either. I would def comeback just would skip the rib tips.

We were fortunate to be in Memphis when Cozy Corner re-opened after their vacation/break this summer (July 2024). They were hopping at lunch with to-go orders. We dined in. Nothing fancy here. Styrofoam boxes and plastic utensils, but oh my, the ribs were delicious. Perfectly smoked, tender and seasoned with a dry rub. We had BBQ spaghetti and potato salad sides. Didn't care much for the spaghetti. Potato salad was average/typical. Had the banana pudding. It was good. It's a "well loved" building, but has a parking lot and the staff knew what they were doing. Glad we tried it!

I've been living in the Suburban area of Memphis for 1 year and I've been searching for some good Memphis BBQ. I've been to 3 places and I won't say names but, they were not good. I was told to go to Cozy Corner and they did not disappoint!!! The customer service was on point and as busy as they were they were getting them orders out the door. I love how they show you your food just to make sure it's right! The only thing is they forgot to give me my caramel cake that I paid and I didn't realize it until I got back to work. Oh well....I shall return. Those smoked wings perfect . The seasoning was delicious and it had a little spice to it but, not overbearing. 10/10

Great place to stop when traveling on I-40. All the reviews were talking about the ribs and how the meat falls off the bone... the reviews were extremely accurate. You can see that based on the photos. We ordered a small spaghetti just to try it. It was very interesting. Won't get it again, but recommend ordering a small just to try it. We will stop here again when traveling through. Didn't wait long enough g for the food. There was plenty of seating and it was clean. As the other reviews state, don't let the outside fool you.

Cozy corner is always amazing with their food and they are very generous for the price point. Will be returning again and again I did get some chicken wings the other day and they taste like they had been refrigerated but other than that everything is excellent.

If you're trying to decide where to get your bbq fix, stop looking, this is it. Been here 3 times and it hits. every. time. We always get a sandwich plate, chicken/rib plate, and a piece of cake. (This time we took two cakes to go too) You can't go wrong. It's always hot and delicious, the sides are all great and their dessert selection is a can't miss too.

I am a native Memphis, but was never into the BBQ scene. I was visiting with a BBQ lover and per the local suggestion chose Cozy. Service was straight forward and employees were friendly, yet about their business. I got the brisket sandwich (I do not eat pork) and sides of beans (they do not use meat) and cole slaw. WOW! I could have eaten two they were so good. My partner got the chicken wings, ribs and brisket and he was simply blown away. The food was tender, seasoned to perfection and you had the option of choosing your spice levels. I got hot, which was a 6/10 on the spice level. The lemon cake and strawberry cakes were pre-sliced and moist! They have converted this BBQ averse person into a fan. :)

I am a huge fan of bbq and this is the best bbq I've ever had in my life. I researched the best bbq restaurants in Memphis and this restaurant came up on the website. Don't let the exterior of the restaurant deter you because the food is worth it. I ordered the bbq ribs for two with potato salad and baked beads. Each ribs was fall off the bone with a delicious smoky flavour. The sides were delicious as well but a must have are the ribs!!

Great prices, I'd say our food was just average though. Bologna sandwich and nachos were tasty but nothing that sets it apart. Would definitely go back as food was good and prices were low.

Driving through Memphis headed to Atlanta and decided to stop by and try this restaurant out for the barbecue. Very impressed everything was good. Ribs are tender and the potato salad was very good. Can't complain about anything except the size of the sides. The barbecue spaghetti was spicy but maybe good for people that likes different types of spaghetti. It was my first time trying something like this. I will most definitely be back to eat here if ever traveling into Memphis. #LongLiveBigScarr

Here's what you need to know: I so agree with the other reviewer Ebony C that Memphis places were full of BBQ places that did not live up to the incredible reviews and hype, but cozy corner DELIVERED. And the best part was it was casually recommended by a local so we decided on a whim to go there as our last meal in Memphis. Wow. Great food, ambiance, and friendly service. Loved it! We ordered one of each from the menu and just loved the flavors on all the meats. The smoke was just right and the textures are oh so perfect. This was our favorite spot in Memphis and the one we recommend the strongest. Very reasonable prices too and super basic dining area and packaging. Old school mom n pop kind of place. So glad we chanced into it.

A lot of people said this was the best place to get Memphis dry rub ribs. They were not wrong. Ribs were Amazing. BBQ Nachos and cole slaw were on point. The staff was friendly, personable and fast. There was a line from the time we arrived to the time we left but the staff kept the line moving and the food quality was awesome. When you go to Memphis, make sure to schedule at least one meal at Cozy Corner.

Great food and you might see a few local celebrities, anyone who has been in this place can tell you that this food is great bbq as evident by the long line you have to wait. Not only is the food delicious, prices are very reasonable. The Cornish hens are very good, however the sauce leaves something to be desired, meat is juicy but lacks that hickory smoked smell and flavor; still great a top notch bbq joint.

This place is a winner. The pork ribs were the star of the show. I tried a bunch of other things too (brisket, sides, etc.) which were ok but the Pork Ribs? Amazing!

Claims that these are the best ribs in Memphis are true, so far as I can tell! I left with two shakers full of their dry rub. But these ribs aren't dry. Saucy as you like.
