The friendly waitstaff and unpretentious setting of this locals' favorite are a perfect backdrop for the time-tested perfection that is Bar-B-Q Shop. For fifty years the Vernon family has been serving mouthwatering pork and beef plates. They've even developed a line of Dancing Pigs barbecue sauces and seasonings that can be purchased in the restaurant or at select local grocery stores.

Best Ever!
I have to say that this is the best barbeque I've ever had. We spent a few days exploring Memphis and trying different barbecue places. The home of the "dancing pigs" was by far the best. The service was exceptionally fast and friendly. The tender pork ribs were to die for, easily pulled from the bone and melted in our mouths. We had them both dry and with sauce, both were delicious! The pulled pork and beef brisket were equally as good. the meal was complimented by sides of tasty baked beans, cole slaw, and texas toast. Forget Interstate or Corky's! The Bar-B-Q Shop is a MUST when in Memphis!

A well-kept secret
For some reason, this place rarely makes the list of must-visit BBQ restaurants in Memphis, but it right up there with the best, and is better than some that are rated too high.
The meat is always good, tender, juicy & flavorful. The sides are good. And the sauce also is good, complementing the meat without overwhelming it.
Definitely one of the top 5 or so BBQ spots in Memphis.

Bar-B-Q Shop is excellent!
My wife and I drove from Chicago with some good friends to enjoy The Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest. We were a very disappointed at the separation built into the system between the contestants and the public so we went in search of some local BBQ at one of the 'Big' Memphis BBQ shops. What we found really disappointed us until the trip was 'saved' when we ate at The Bar-B-Q Shop. The ribs, wet and dry, were superb! The sauses, hot and regular were loaded with flavor. No cookie cutter crap here! These folks are serious about smokin' pork! My wife and I own a catering business in Sugar Grove, Illinois that specializes in smoking and grilling and we like to think we have fairly discerning 'smoked meat' palates. You'll enjoy The Bar-B-Q Shop!
