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.

My husband and I were in Memphis touring their graduate school and we decided that since we were in Memphis we had to have bbq. I looked online for probably an hour trying to choose a restaurant. Finally we went with Corkys because it has good ratings and was close to our hotel. All I can say is WOW. I am a very slim woman and don't normally finish everything on my plate but I did that night. I even was drizzling bbq sauce on the rolls they brought us! The service was great and the ambience of the restuarant was very nice. Be prepared to wait a long time though especially if you are going on the weekends. It is well worth it though. Their pulled pork bbq sandwich was easily the best I've ever had!
Pros: Fantastic BBQ, Good Service
