Editorial Review for Corky's BBQ – by Linda Romine
The Scene
This retro-fitted restaurant (think 1950s-style neon and waiters in bow ties) consistently wins accolades for serving Memphis' best barbecue. It's become so popular over the years that Corky's now ships meat around the country and markets its own line of barbecue sauce.
The Food
This restaurant specializes in pulled-pork that's doused in barbecue sauce, topped with a scoop of creamy cabbage coleslaw, and served on a bun. This combination of flavors may seem strange to the uninitiated, but nothing screams Southern barbecue quite like it. Corky's also serves wet or dry ribs, delectable barbecued chicken and greasy onion rings. Desserts include various pies such as the brownielike fudge pie, but a barbecue feast may preclude many guests from getting that far into the menu.

If you are in memphis you must try corky's BBQ it is simply delicious, my favorite is the wet ribs and BBQ shrimp.

The sandwiches are good, not great, but this business about Corky's being the best in Memphis is a joke. They are the best marketed operation for sure, but the quality of their product doesn't measure up among true Memphis BBQ restaurants. The ribs aren't in the top 10.
