Ok, I’ve had BBQ from all the hot spots in the USA. Texas, North Carolina, a close second was Springfield , MO but this place topped them all. Central BBQ in Memphis, TN. The wait is usually out the door but it’s well worth it! I had to showcase it here if you’re visiting Memphis. It’s worth a taste. It’s my favorite!!!
The side necessities when you eat at Central BBQ. Including the hot sauces!
Nom nom nom!

Staff was great! The room was spacious and clean, very nicely decorated with a comfy bed. We enjoyed the view from the rooftop too. Walked to Beale Street and had dinner at BB Kings Blues Bar with live music.

It’s just an ok hotel. I was expecting a little better, but it wasn’t the worst. You can it’s an older hotel that the company is trying to keep current, but there are signs.
