The BBQ here was fantastic—The burnt ends were outstanding. The location is not the greatest, it’s in a rundown area. They are more for takeout than dining in, but if you’re lucky you can sit inside at one of the few tables available. If you like BBQ, you should definitely check this place out. The meats are all done right and the sides are all great.

First time here. Tried the ribs with a side of collard greens and their sweet tea. The ribs were amazing and service was incredibly quick! The bones literally fell out of the meat when I went to pick them up! Lots of different sauces to choose from as well! The collard greens we're tasty with just the right amount of sweetness. I did find myself wishing there was a little vinegar with the greens. Overall, I highly recommend Memphis King BBQ for some awesome food!

Best BBQ around. Make sure you call your order in as early as possible. Food this good goes quick. Nice folks, great service.

I have been to The Memphis King several times and each time, the food is Amazing!!! My fiance and I share a meal, which has pulled pork (use the house sauce, it's the best), a giant rib & the best tasting fried chicken! The meal also comes with 2 sides, the Mac & Cheese is one of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is is really cool, all different sorts of photos on the wall while you wait. Again, if you want the Best BBQ around, The Memphis King is the choice!
