Pull Over For The Tender Ribs At This Memphis, Tennessee BBQ Favorite

A whole Cornish hen, smoked and sauced, sits on the menu right next to the ribs. That alone tells you this barbecue joint plays by its own rules. Then there’s the barbecue spaghetti. Yes, spaghetti, wearing smoky sauce like it was born for the job. I like how a place can be this confident about something so unexpected.

What restaurants are open on Thanksgiving in Memphis? See the list

Thanksgiving is all about gratitude, family and the kind of massive, home-cooked feast that takes three days of preparation and 300 trips to Kroger.

Construction to begin in December for Hattie B's in Germantown

Nashville hot chicken chain Hattie B’s Hot Chicken has taken yet another step forward to open a new location in Germantown. The upcoming location was announced in summer of 2025. According to a Hattie B's spokesperson, the target timeline for the restaurant to open is summer 2027 with construction on track to begin on mid-December. A new construction permit was filed on Nov. 2 with the Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development, for a 2,975-square-foot restaurant at 7662 Poplar Ave. in the Germantown Village shopping center. The estimated cost of construction of the hot chicken specialty restaurant is $1.5 million, according to the permit and will have a 1,100-square-foot patio area. Hattie B’s Hot Chicken — which was founded in August 2012 by father and son Nick Bishop Sr. and Nick Bishop Jr. — is known for its signature Nashville hot chicken and varying degrees of heat. The famed fried chicken is coated in spiced oil after being cooked in varying levels of spiciness, from “Southern” with no heat to "Shut the Cluck Up!!!" — in other words, extremely hot. The proposed Hattie B’s in Germantown would be the second Memphis-area location. Hattie B’s opened in the
