Memphis-style dry-rub ribs, pulled pork, and soulful sides
"You’ve got plenty of options for barbecue around town, but if you’re in the Gulch, it's worth checking out Peg Leg Porker. It’s fast casual, so expect a quick-moving line to get to some of their famous pulled pork. It’s a thing of beauty, especially if you order the tender protein as a sandwich, slathered with creamy slaw. You should also try their yardbird chicken, with its smoky and sweet seasoning that strikes a satisfying balance between the crispy skin and tender meat. The smoked green beans, mac and cheese, and barbecue beans are the best sides here—just be sure to wrap your meal up with the thick and creamy banana pudding. And if the weather is playing nice, the patio out in front is perfect for some people-watching with your pork." - jackie gutierrez jones 2, ann walczak
"If you’re looking to get away from the touristy crowds near Broadway, the Gulch is … not the place to do it (you can thank a certain winged mural for that). Still, it's worth checking out Peg Leg Porker for some of that pulled pork. It’s really a thing of beauty, especially if you order the tender protein as a sandwich, slathered with creamy slaw. It’s also worth trying their yardbird chicken, with its smoky and sweet seasoning, that strikes a satisfying balance between the crispy skin and tender meat. The smoked green beans, mac and cheese, and barbecue beans are the best sides here—just be sure to wrap your meal up with some of Peg Leg’s thick and creamy banana pudding for dessert." - jackie gutierrez jones 2
"Recommended for ribs and traditional Tennessee barbecue in the Gulch area, representing the city’s barbecue scene." - Missy Frederick
"Since 2013 pitmaster Carey Bringle has been spreading Memphis-style barbecue in Music City; the pork ribs are smoked three to four hours and finished with a proprietary dry rub (a sauce option is available), while brown sugar-and-bacon baked beans and large-shelled mac and cheese are local favorite sides — and don’t skip the in-house deep-fried pies (chocolate, apple, or peach) served heavenly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream." - Jon Gugala
