Where to eat in Memphis?

[missed-em]

Headed to Memphis tomrow to do the Diners, dives & drivins thing but going in cold.  Any sugestions on what local, repeat local, spots to hit?  Want the real flavor of Memphis, not the tourist stops.

Just 4 couples out for a weekend so your help would help!

We went to "The Commissary", I believe it is in Germantown... I liked it a lot better than the Big name rib places everybody raves about...

It might be a little late judging from when you posted but I recommend getting some ribs at Rendezvous. They are the best I've ever had outside of the ones that I make

For me as I stated.. I wasn't impressed with their ribs... But as we all know... everybody has their own taste

wow...that's quite a drive based on your profile--don't know about memphis, but would also recommend stopping at all the mom and pop shops in between and reporting back to us!

I know it ain't q but dyers on beale st. You can get a great burger fryed in grease from ww2. Go to stateofQ.com it has all 80 bbq joint listed ranked and maps to get their . I like rendezvous myself never had a bad meal from their. But every restraunt has a off day once and a while. Another 1 that's popular.is interstate barbq.good luck and have a safe trip.:biggrin:

Thanks guys, didn't get the responces in time but we struggled thru

 Hit Uncle lou's for chicken, Silky O'Sullivans for music and drinks, Rum Buggy for music ribs & more drinks on Friday on Saturday did the Cozy Corner Cafe for ribs and pulled pork, then BB Kings for drinks and music, another visit to Silky o'Sullivans then back to Uncle Lou's for more chicken.

 Insert a full belly here!  Real good time, but as just one vote in 8 I'd have hit more rib joints.  Our motel was right across the street from the Memphis Bar B Que Co and we did'nt even look in the door and last night she was on TV on Pit Masters.  Next time - right?

Did you hit the paint buckets at silkys?

I went to Central BBQ this summer and had the best ribs of my life.  I'd recommend checking them out.

No, but the table next to the diving goats was having a good time!
