Central BBQ - Poplar

Food okay... atmosphere okay....
Pricing versus quantity and quality of entire meal a bit high....chicken was questionably wet and brisket was dry.. ribs okay mac and cheese delicious skins delicious beans average... overall an okay spot but not my 1st choice for a revisit
I didnt care for the small uncomfortable chairs but not a bad choice overall...

Best BBQ in Memphis. Ribs are tasty. I love the dry rub and my husband loves to sauce his up. Good sides. Craft beer. Homemade chips. Never had a bad menu item. Place offers indoor and outdoor seating and is their original location. Can get crowded and noisy with locals and college kids.

Lack luster. Poor service. Out of blue cheese. BBQ sauce pumps broken. Had to ask for silverware twice and my cole slaw. Cold onion rings... greasy

The location responded well to the review. I am not worried about a comp. Today I actually ate food from the Central location and could tell the difference. I loved the chicken wings and ribs. I will go there from now own. My family had ordered the food. Central has and will always be the best location.

Very good ribs got with rub & BBQ and pulled pork. The macaroni and cheese was delicious!! And pork rinds was wonderful . The hot BBQ sauce was my favorite. The husband and I really enjoyed the food. Was a packed house. If you're looking for good barbecue and sides go here ..I recommend this place! The price was not bad at all either . Good for a date night or a large family gathering.

I had a really great experience here tonight! The ribs were incredible (just as they are in other locations and the banana pudding is exceptional. We got a lot of food for the money we spent and the service was friendly and fast. The location has a lot of seating and is very clean, it looks to be a lot newer than other locations. There is also a lot of outdoor seating and adequate parking. The sides are okay but the ribs really steal the show, I would recommend!
