“A Memphis staple ! There are a lot of bbq joints in Memphis but Central has the best ribs in town hands down!”
Brian O.
“Central BBQ fooled these Texans- So good! Maybe the best BBQ sauce I’ve ever had.”
Cheryl G.
“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.”
