Being new to Memphis we hadn't heard on Corky's so with a unbiased view when we ate lunch. It's delicious. I don't like dry ribs but dang! I did half wet and half dry. Their potato salad, coleslaw, and macaroni and cheese are fantastic!! Staff is super nice and I recommend that if you want to buy their sauces buy it there. we got all of them for a steal. Two for $4. At the stores they're for sale $6.99.

Worth the trip

I grew up in Memphis and went into the military before Corky's had opened. I had not been back to Memphis for over 25 years and had decided if and when I went back I would give them a try. It won't be another 25 years before I return to Memphis, that much is certain. The service was fantastic, the ribs were perfect and the brisket was heavenly. My wife and I gorged out until we thought we were going to die. We then remembered looking over the deserts on the way in and just couldn't say no. We decided to split a piece of the pecan pie and life will never be the same. We have decide all future trips will have to pass through Memphis, one way or another.

Love Corkeys!

Corkeys BBQ is my favorite BBQ place in West Tennessee. They even have a frozen Dinner and pulled pork you can get in the grocery store.

Excellent

We love Corky's and it was the first barbecue restaraunt that we came to when we visited Memphis before we moved here. We absolutely loved it! We've been to all of the other BBQ restaraunts that are talked about since moving here and Corky's is still our favorite. All of the staff is pleasant, the food delicious and ready super fast and it's clean. I would recommend the restaraunt to anyone new to the area/city.

A local favorite of mine

The service is amazing and the food is out of this world. I have lived in Memphis for more than 20 years and I can say that this is the best BBQ place in Memphis, without any doubt. The Apple pie is great, too. Enjoy the famous wet ribs.
