Central BBQ
Central's been ranked in the top three BBQ joints in Memphis since 2003, so you know they aren't messing around. The exceptional taste comes rubbing down all of their meats with a secret blend of spices (NOT sauces), marinating them for 24hrs, then slow-smoking all of their meats over hickory and pecan woods.

Central BBQ, now with four local restaurants and two Nashville outposts, frequently tops local polls for best barbecue. Known for the slow-smoked Memphis style ribs, owner Craig Blondis says it’s the Barbecue Nachos that top the sales charts. Made with tortilla chips or housemade barbecue chips, two kinds of cheese, sauce, and your choice of pulled pork, smoked chicken, or a smoked portabella mushroom, they are hard to beat. Another bonus is the self-serve sauces: mild, hot, vinegar, and mustard.
