My family and I were recently in Memphis and made a point of getting BBQ while we were visiting. We spent the morning on Beale St. and decided to go to Corky's for lunch. The atmosphere was more of a take out place. It was very small with only 3 tables. I understand there is a larger restaurant located elsewhere. Regardless, I would not have minded being squeezed in there, if the food had been even remotely good. It was below average when I compare it to other BBQ we have had (and I live in Michigan!) The men behind the counter were not even attempting to be friendly(so much for southern hospitality) and the price was too high for what we received. I am sure Memphis has some great BBQ, but for my money, it can't be found at Corkey's.
Pros: short wait
Cons: very crowded, unfriendly, average food
