  From Riding in a pink limo to and from our campground to our amazing server. We had the best time here at Marlowes. The food was legit bomb 💣 😋 I could have moved in and never left. From the meats to baked beans....I could eat that fried gouda for the rest of my life. Fantastic food, amazing service and totally fun atmosphere!!!!

  The ribs and brisket were extremely tender. This isn't competition bbq, but very good nonetheless. The regular sauce is tangy and sweet with minimal spices. The sauce was poured on just prior to serving, I recommend asking for it on the side. I didn't get the spicy sauce because I didn't know it was available, but he waitress brought me 2 hot sauces (Tabasco and Louisiana). The side portions are tremendous, nearly double what you get a most bbq restaurants. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive. If you prefer your bbq on the mild side, this is the place for you!

  Great place with a lot of history! Elvis and Guy Fieri ate here! Lots of Elvis stuff to look at. Food is good for the most part but bbq is a little too smoky for my liking. Elvis sandwich is great! Also, loved their pink limousine shuttle service! The driver was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Memphis!

  Wow what to say (a dream come true) Melissa and my server Vee was exceptional, customer service impeccable and food out of this world. The entertainment a full Elvis concert, the atmosphere and audience like family. Thank you Melissa really appreciate and honored thanks to you l met the legend herself Letetia who signed and took a picture with me really grateful. I won't forget the pick limo and drive that pick me up and left me at my hotel. Last but not least the bbq and the chef and cooks that prepared it delicious.

  Whenever I'm in Memphis I always try a new bbq spot. Based on their reviews, we gave Marlowes a try because it was close to Graceland where we had just been. First, we had a really good waitress. She did a great job. As for the food.... My group of 3 had 2 combo plates (1-$39,1-$49),a bbq potato, 1/2 slab of ribs and a fried green tomato appetizer. With 3 soft drinks and tip it was about $165. The tomatoes were the best thing we had. Brisket and pulled pork were just ok. Not terrible, definitely not great. The ribs however were really bad. We tried to eat two and left the rest. When the waitress asked, no one wanted to-go boxes. That's saying something considering what we paid and the fact that we love bbq. Also; the sauce had a weird taste, like they used way too much liquid smoke. Everybody was pretty disappointed. Oh well; you win some, you lose some. Definitely lost this one!
