For Over Sixty Years, Memphis Families Have Shared Burgers At Dixie Queen… No, At Jim’s Place

Cheeseburgers, corn dogs, onion rings, and funnel cake fries share the spotlight with snow cones and thick milkshakes.

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.

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. Nine of the 10 restaurants on the list are located in the Memphis area, while the lone exception is Pappy's Smokehouse in St. Louis. MEMPHIS BARBECUE HISTORY: The story behind Memphis BBQ and how it conquered the world The rankings, announced on Oct. 28, were determined through nominations from a panel of experts followed by reader voting. The result is a list that recognizes both some of Memphis' most enduring barbecue institutions and restaurants that have developed their own loyal followings.
