    In my opinion this is the best bbq restaurant in Memphis. I just happened to go in there one day on a fluke and now it is the only bbq place i like to eat at.The sauce is amazing! The atmosphere is friendly and the staff is on top of things. I recommend The Bar -B-Q Shop to anyone that loves bbq!

    The only qualifier I have to place is that this place has the best DRY RIBS in town. The wet ribs are ok .... which in any other town would be outstanding. But the dry ribs are really something special....even if your not a fan of dry... give them a shot. They are amazing.

    I've known Frank and his son Eric for years. I have lived in Memphis my whole life (54 years) and I have eaten at practically every BBQ joint in town. I have come to the conclusion that most every place in Memphis can cook ribs and pork. What sets The BBQ shop above all the rest is the sauce. Dancing Pigs BBQ sauce is, with out a doubt, the best sauce I have ever tasted, and I have eaten BBQ all over the USA, from east coast to west coast. You can buy it in the grocery stores, but even the store bought does not compare with the sauce that they mix up in the restaurant. Get them to bring you a fresh warm squirt bottle of sauce when you go in. Ask for it on the side to your meal so you can add all you want. I even use it for the seasoned fries that are just to die for. Also, if you get a sandwich, order it on Texas Toast. The Ribs are great, the BBQ Baloney is great. It's all good. If you are going to hit one place in Memphis for BBQ and only one place, you will regret it if you don't choose The BBQ Shop.
