I've been here twice. The first time I think I just got a salad and a Fat Tire beer. I thought it was okay, and after going to Famous Dave's BBQ a few times since -- and really enjoying the BBQ flavors there -- I decided to return to Memphis BBQ for a change. This time I got the pulled chicken sandwich with sides of cole slaw and a vegetable medley. My friend got a four-meat platter.
We were both quite disappointed. I expected the chicken to be more flavorful than it was. I took half the sandwich home and finished it later. It was edible, but nothing to celebrate. The cole slaw was just awful. It tasted sour. I just took a couple of bites of that and didn't even take the rest of it home with me. The vegetable medley was okay.
My friend's opinion of the four-meat platter was that it was a one-note dish. All the meats she chose (chicken, beef brisket, pork burnt tips, and Louisiana ribs) tasted pretty much the same. Like the chicken on my sandwich, they were not well-sauced, and you couldn't escape the overly-pungent smokiness of the dish.
I tasted one of her pork burnt tips and was put off by the smoked flavor myself.
Lesson learned. I won't be going back to Memphis BBQ. If you want great BBQ, I would recommend Famous Dave's.
