"When a Memphian thinks of The Bar-B-Q Shop, award-winning sauce is the first thing that comes to mind. Memphis is proud to claim The Bar-B-Q Shop as its own."

Melinda Lorge

"This is where Memphis does it again. If you haven’t tasted The Bar-B-Q Shop’s dry-rub ribs yet, you might be missing out on something that’s sure to take your taste buds way south (in a good way)."

Grant Goggans

"This is the best of Memphis’s many amazing barbecue restaurants. I’m not certain when this place opened, but it has become one of the city’s best-known and best-loved barbecue temples."

Ben Carter

"The ribs are as good as anything you'll get at Corky's or The Rendezvous, but you won't have to wait in a long line to get in."

Andrew Dunaway

"Another dose of smokiness and that hard earned smoke ring worked beautifully with the salty and sweet dry rub. Pleasantly reminiscent of the bottom of a bag of bbq chips, the captivating flavors of the dry rub made it clear which part of this four component platter reigned supreme."

Palmetto Weekend

"The Bar-B-Q Shop is a staple in Memphis, Tennessee’s renowned barbecue scene. Known for their award-winning barbecue sauces and dry rubs, this restaurant is serving up everything from classics like pulled pork and ribs, to more unique dishes like their famous barbecue spaghetti."

Tim Shirley

"I’ve never had shoulder or ribs from The Bar-B-Q shop that weren’t tender. Not sloppy tender (like boiled meat), but the right kind of tenderness for barbecue."

Michella Combes

"An excellent stop for those who favour both the ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ varieties of Memphis barbecue."
