| - The Stockyards food was very disappointing for all the hype that it gets. We went on a Wednesday evening, and had the pulled pork sandwiches.
Overall, I found the Stockyards and interesting food experience, but for me personally, it was barely average, way overpriced, with extremely slow and not so friendly service. Also, waiting for 30 minutes on a ricketly barstool while cooking heat and smoke blows on me is not a pleasant dining experience. I could handle the stool and smoke for fast food, but it seemed they were processing the take-out orders faster than the eat-ins.
I'm from Memphis, and grew up eating pulled pork Barbeque and ribs. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with high hopes, and was very dissapointed.
It seemed that they dumped a extra greasy fat over the meat after it was cooked, which completely ruined the flavor (if there was any!) and texture of the meat. I could barely take two bites! For people looking for a fatty, satisfying sandwich, this might hit the spot. For REAL barbeque, you trim the fat and smoke and spice properly, the flavor is all in the meat.
$5 for fries, which were nothing special, (could have been bagged from costco!) seemed like a huge rip-off.
Hopefully their ribs etc. taste better. After one $11 sandwich, I"m not a fan and not returning. True southern barbeque includes friendly service, and beer, neither of which the Stockyards offer.
