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.

Memphis barbecue has long been a source of hometown pride, but a recent national ranking gives local barbecue lovers another reason to celebrate. The USA TODAY 10BEST Readers’ Choice Awards recently named the Top 10 restaurants for Memphis-style barbecue in the United States, and the Mid-South made quite an impression.
