Description:

  • Corky's is good-natured and boisterous, with rock-'n'-roll tunes piped both indoors and out. Aromatic barbecue permeates the air. An argument over which is the best barbecue restaurant in Memphis persists, but this one pretty much leads the pack when it comes to pulled pork shoulder barbecue, topped with tangy coleslaw. Photographs and letters from satisfied customers line the rough-paneled lobby, where you always have to wait for a table. Corky's even has a toll-free number (tel. 800/9-CORKYS) to get their delicious ribs shipped "anywhere." There's also a drive-up window for immediate barbecue gratification. A downtown location at 175 Peabody Place (tel. 901/529-9191) is right around the corner from Beale Street. The suburbs have a Corky's at Dexter Road in Cordova (tel. 901/737-1988).

    Wow! Great ribs!

  • Referred by motel desk clerk. Long drive to restaurant but SO worth it. We had mix of wet and dry ribs, cole slaw and beans. Absolutely delicious. Would go way out of our way to eat...
