I love this place. The owners are super nice. The location may deter some people from going but I felt totally safe. Even the customers eating inside was nice. Love the atmosphere. The Jumbo sandwich is huge. I could have went with a regular. The mustard slaw, I loved it as well as the Barbeque sauce. It is on the sweet side so it might not be everyone but I loved it. I saw someone with the hot dog and it was huge too with lots of yellow slaw.
A BBQ place in the same location for 51 years says something about the food. Puts it in the category of Rendezvous, Tops, Leonards, and the Commissary. True Memphis style meaning theres more meat than you know what to do with. I could have made two Jumbo sandwiches with the amount of meat on my dinner plate. See the pics of that. My partner picked a jumbo sandwich and is bringing half of it home. First bbq place I’ve been to i couldn’t finish my meal, other than when i order a whole rack of ribs. Mustard style slaw with a bit of vinegar. Three levels of sauce; mild, medium and hot. Not much on the seating but a steady stream of orders walking out the door. Great service by Ron, Tony and Flo who os otherwise know as Mrs . Payne b
The rating is for the food not the building or the neighborhood. We loved the pork sandwich with the yellow coleslaw/chow chow sauce on it..it was the best thing there and would get it again..then beans were great also. The baloney sandwich was the same as the pork with the coleslaw..but not quite as good..still good though...both the sandwiches were very messy. Last of all were the ribs.. just not my style..sauce was very good..and the crispy parts were good .but the rest was fatty..I guess I like baby backs better. The people inside were very nice..don't be scared away by the building.
