Central BBQ

2249 Central Ave.
Memphis , TN
(901) 272-9377

Open since 2002, and full of students from nearby colleges, Central has a breezy, spring-break feel and outdoor deck seating to match. Order a pork plate with extra “bark” (the dark, heavily smoked crust). As you leave, be sure to pick up a brown bag of thick-cut potato chips, sprinkled with Central's special seasoning blend. You'll be licking your fingers for hours.
