LOVE FOR THE SMOKE

“A Memphis staple ! There are a lot of bbq joints in Memphis but Central has the best ribs in town hands down!”

“Central BBQ fooled these Texans- So good! Maybe the best BBQ sauce I’ve ever had.”

“The dry and wet ribs were great, the pork rinds were downright sinful, the baked beans were amazing, the greens were a tad too seasoned for my taste, and if you don't get the banana puddin then you are just missing out.”
