Best BBQ and Live Entertainment on Beale Street

I had been to Beale Street and BB's before but my boyfriend hadn't. I told him it was a must while we were in Memphis. It did not disappoint. The ribs were fabulous, the beer was cold and the band was outstanding. We had a great time!

Don't miss this place it's fantastic

Great food, great staff, atmosphere is amazing and the music is fantastic. My husband and I went 2 nights as we enjoyed it so much. Live bands play every day, different acts so no two evenings are the same. Food is wonderful, good size meals, lots of choice and reasonably priced. The Memphis ribs are wonderful.
