We went to what I assume is the original Central BBQ last night. I assume it’s the original because it’s on Central Avenue. This a BBQ spot that many locals recommend. My wife and I split the BBQ Nachos (where ELSE are you going to get them?) and we each had a regular pork sandwich. First off, the nachos are probably exactly what you’d expect. Tortilla chips, topped with pulled pork, shredded cheese, mild BBQ sauce and optional jalapenos. With those ingredients, it tastes exactly like you would expect. Not groundbreaking, but fine. The pulled pork sandwich was very good. On a soft (but not too soft) white bun with their mild sauce. We found Central BBQ good, but we aren’t sure why it would be a destination spot.

There was a line out the door, but we still had our food in under a half an hour. The food was excellent, as was my beer. We were there during bowl week, so it was exceptionally busy. They had heated seating in a tent outside which was plenty warm. I recommend this place and will go back.

This place has a great atmosphere. It's got that down home BBQ vibe. When I got there, the line was out the door. It didn't take too long to get in and take my order. Although, it felt a little rushed once I got to the front of the line. They were courteous, though. They offer a very generous military discount. I ordered the pork because they claim it's the best in Memphis. It was pretty good.

I love Central BBQ, for me it's in the top 3 of memphis BBQ!! Yes it's that good! Service is always great and it just has the southern charm you'd expect with your dining experience. Ribs, chicken, sandwich whatever you pick is 100% top notch flavor and cooking time is on point!! So good and juicy , wet or dry it doesn't matter!! It's all fantastic you really can't go wrong!! Seriously this place is a must try!!

A- BBQ fare, great atmosphere Here for a bowl game, very busy restaurant, so that may be a factor! Ribs and sausage were spot-on delicious. Yum!! Pork and brisket were a little dry and bland. The beans were delicious, but the Mac n cheese, greens, and potato salad were nothing special. Would still definitely come back, and better than Rendezvous hands down!!
