Dont know what ya got
Ok, being born and raised in memphis i didnt relize how good i had it untill i moved away. when i was a kid my father lived just down the block from the BarBQ shop on madison. It was weekly tradition to go and have lunch at what i now know is by far the best BarBQ you can ever hope for. Now that im in the military and have been all around the country and the world, i know that i left what is truely the BarBQ mecca that is memphis, with the BarBQ shop being at the top of the bunch. I now live in Dayton Ohio and cant get anything close to there quality here. thank goodness the sauces are available online. so If you like BarBQ go to the shop and order up a pulled pork plate on texas toast (be sure to put your coleslaw on the sandwich) and an order of chicken drummys to start you off. its a little slice of memphis heaven.

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.
