Best BBQ Restaurants to Try in Memphis
Barbecue is a part of some states’ cultures as much as their flag and state flower. Although most people think of dripping sauce getting caramelized onto meat when they think of barbecue, Tennessee isn’t afraid to do things a little differently. Memphis barbecue is known for its dry rubs. With mixes that contain anywhere from thirty to forty spices, these dry rubs kick up the flavor and make everything from ribs to chicken so mouthwateringly that you won’t miss the sauce. You know I love a cheeky meal out, so I thought I would look at what food I might try if I ventured to Memphis.
Here are the top restaurants in Memphis to try this signature food!

With original favorites like BBQ nachos, this restaurant is here to keep the game fresh while still offering the all-star barbecue everyone knows and loves. Although their price is slightly higher than the rest of the restaurants on this list, it’s worth it because of their incredible flavor.

Charlie Vergo’s Rendez is a restaurant built on tradition and a recipe that can’t quit packing flavor. At 75 years old, this restaurant is a local legend that everyone knows and loves.

Their barbecue is the perfect example of its style and good enough to make anyone start searching for Memphis houses for sale.
Tom’s Barbecue Memphis
Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.

Where In The City: on the edge of town in the Oakhaven area.
Tom’s Barbecue Memphis is a local staple. Although you do have to make a short trip if you live in the city, the drive is worth it for the flavour and selection. The restaurant is dedicated to ensuring every bite is as good as the last and goes a step above to ensure customer satisfaction. Although they also offer Coldcut sandwiches and classic sides, their secret spice combination has inspired many people to try and replicate it without any success.
